Fond Doux Plantation & Resort

This former plantation is situated in a beautiful spot in the rain forest. There are historical buildings on site, and the cottages are quaint (from the outside). The breakfast is lovely and the dining area is also. For the most part, the staff are helpful. I Ioved seeing cats on site for a few reasons, one of them being that cats are good at keeping rats away (in an eco-friendly manner). If they get rid of the cats (as they are threatening to do) that will not be good for the guests. I stayed in one of the studio suites. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nicely remodeled. Otherwise, the room was dark and depressing. The only windows were those where you entered the room. Due to the room being situated across from the restaurant and bar, you needed to keep the ugly brown and tan curtains closed, effectively making the room even more dismal. Other than white walls and brown furniture, there is very little color in the decor. Even the art is dreary. Do not come here if you are prone to depression. If you are highly sensitive, this is not the place for you. As this place is a former plantation, and apparently has not been spiritually or energetically cleaned, you may experience a heaviness of spirit while you are here. I felt it the entire time I was here, and then had very bad dreams for two nights after I left and was in a safer place where I could process it out. There are pros and cons no matter where you go. You just need to figure out what is best for you, personally. For me, this was not a good place.

We ate at the restaurant and our server SHONTAI was so nice , very patient and kind ...I had a great time and food was GREAT

What a fantastic experience, where do we start, beautiful location in the rain forest in a unique cottage. All staff were amazing could not do enough, the food is excellent, great location to access everything. We would definitely come back.

A beautiful setting, nestled in the jungle. Staff was so helpful and kind, rooms were beautiful. Secluded oasis and I was sad to leave!

We stayed for a few days in March. We had the most peaceful and relaxing time. The place is set up in a way that promotes quiet relaxation, from beautiful nature around to delightful grounds and low key restaurant atmosphere. Service is great. Taxi service is timeline and reliable. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Loved it.
