Stonefield Villa Resort

We stayed here for 6 nights out of our ten day trip (the other 4 nights were at Anse Chastanet so see my review for there too). Providing more details as previous reviews really helped us make decisions. Our room: We stayed in a mountain and ocean view villa. Very grateful for the air conditioning here to escape the heat and the outer area was comfortable too. 1) Kitchen was well supplied. Felt weird having a big sugar bowl in the fridge that I’m assuming is shared with previous occupants. No microwave so had to get creative with reheating leftovers. 2) No daily room service so had to ask for everything you wanted at the restaurant (ie, creamers for coffee, fresh towels) or call reception. 3) Outdoor shower was nicer than I expected but could not get hot water even with booster. 4) Got a call one morning that water would be off for 20 minutes, 2-3 hours later we still had no water so called front desk, said they would look into, never heard back but water did come back on shortly after. 5) Having a private pool was awesome! Can’t beat the mountain view! The food: We chose to only get breakfast as provided with the room rate. The all inclusive option seemed expensive and we’re really glad we didn’t pay for that. We also thought we’d go out more into town. 1) First night we arrived was Saturday, we didn’t make reservations because we had a late lunch and weren’t sure when we would be hungry. When we finally went down to the restaurant, we were kind of told off for not making a reservation. This was not a good first impression/experience but do understand they get busy on a Saturday night. 2) Breakfast - basic options included with room rate so not much variety especially if you stay longer than a few days. Requested Raisin Bran first two mornings which came crawling with ants. They did replace with a fruit cup but it was a turn-off. 3) We ended up here for dinner four nights (three for me as I ate leftovers from another restaurant) because we got too lazy to go out but menu was very limiting - three entree choices and given that I don’t eat fish, seafood, or spicy food, there was little for me to eat and ended up with apps/salads. Hubby did love all the fish & seafood he ate. 4) Missed breakfast one day as we had no water and couldn’t freshen up to go. When we went for lunch, we were told they could have brought breakfast to us but by then, it was too late. 5) Get pressured to tip for breakfast - they hand you a zero bill with a place to fill in a tip. 6) Originally booked the candlelight dinner under the mango tree for $185 US / couple on the day of our 25th anniversary but cancelled it when we realized it’s the same regular dinner menu and didn’t feel it would be worth it. 7) Service in restaurant was often slow, okay when you’re on holiday but when it’s not busy, not sure why. The staff: Difficult to understand the English of some of the staff. Wait staff were lovely. Responsive when we called reception to make taxi/excursion arrangements. The excursions: 1) We did Morne Coubaril 3 in 1 zip lining, buffet, run tasting tour on our own, getting a taxi from Stonefield to there - WAY cheaper than booking through resort. 2) We booked the Tet Paul nature trail hike through Stonefield which worked out great. Tip: It’s a pretty short taxi drive over to other resorts for a meal. We hopped over to Dasheene restaurant at Ladera Resort for our anniversary and had a fantastic meal. On our last night, we went over to Jalousie Grill at Sugar Beach resort and had an amazing meal there. Overall, I was going to give this three stars but dropped to two because personally, I only read 4-5 star reviews and 1-2 star reviews and felt some of the points above should be read if you’re considering this resort. I would also say that as the second resort after Anse Chastanet, this review is probably harsher than if we had done Stonefield first or if we had only stayed here, but it’s hard not to compare so hope this helps others!

Stonefield Resort was a great experience that had its highs and lows. I will cover the positives first. As a honeymoon location, this is a 10/10; it's private, and you truly feel like it's just you guys there. The villa they have you stay at feels extremely private. They also do a great job of setting up an itinerary with you for all of the adventures that they provide. You'll be able to have breakfast and go on an adventure right after and have the rest of the day to yourselves. The staff was hit or miss. The taxi drivers were all great and was willing to take us to places outside of the adventure impromptu like to the ATM or to the grocery store. The other side of it is the staff at the mango tree who were nice but did not do a good job of keeping a record of payments. Which leads to my HUGE NEGATIVE RED FLAG of the resort. We had the sexy experience all-inclusive package, which covers breakfast and dinner outside of expressos and alcoholic beverages. The way it works they will keep record of everything and then bill you at checkout with an itemized list of all of your purchases that weren't covered. Like tips, the adventures that's not included, alcoholic drinks, etc. The thing is, when we got done with our stay and saw our list, they tried to charge us for all of our dinners plus the tips we left. Some of the breakfasts as well. It wasn't changed until we looked at the list and called it out. Then when we called it out, they gave us another list with an even higher charge. We had to go through 5 different revisions. Thank God we had kept track of what we were actually paying for while we were there. Also when we finally got to the correct amount we didn't get a sorry or anything. If it wasn't for that this would have been a great experience but I just wanted to write this to warn everyone to keep record of what you're paying for here, they will try to finesse you. A big thing I wasn't told until we asked was at the Mango Tree Restaurant if you get the chef's special that's not included in your package and for lamb and steak they charge you regardless. Overall, this was a great experience, especially for a honeymoon. I would just be aware that Stonefiel,d like a lot of resorts, will try to finesse you if you don't keep up.

We recently stayed at Stonefield for our 25th anniversary, and it was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and responsive to our every need, making us feel cared for the entire time. The food was excellent, and the service matched it—friendly, attentive, and professional. The setting itself was beautiful, making it a perfect place to relax and celebrate such a special occasion. We truly loved our experience here and would absolutely recommend Stonefield to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

The Stonefield is a beautiful resort with fantastic views and excellent dining. My wife and I spent 4 night in the Flamboyant Bungalow last August as a quick romantic getaway. This resort is extremely private and well worth the nightly price. The view from the restaurant is exceptional as well as the friendly staff. Our bungalow was perfect with its own private secluded pool, lanai, and combination parlor/kitchen. The king bedroom is air conditioned with an outdoor shower. We have reservations for next year.

Stonefield is a truly unique experience and one that you won't regret. Forget the crowded, loud, and busy mega resorts and be prepared to relax with your special someone in complete serenity and privacy enjoying your private open-air villa with private swimming pool, gardens and tropical paradise. This was our 4th visit and my wife and I keep returning because of their excellent service, spectacular views of the Pitons and ocean, great food and service in an adults only environment.
