Anse Chastanet

A beautiful resort, but I did feel someone like an alien as a solo traveler. Definitely received stares from guests and staff alike. Staff seemed overwhelmed at times. Food was average for the price of the resort. A plus were the beach and awesome snorkeling right at your fingertips! But be prepared to get your cardio in with the stairs to get to said beach lol. The road to the resort is treacherous, I was so glad I didn’t rent a car because I don’t think I could navigate that road myself. Overall it was a nice stay, but I think if I do return to St. Lucia I would choose a different resort.

We absolutely loved our stay here! From the very beginning of checking in, the staff is so unbelievably kind and attentive. They even give you a phone that you can call 24/7 if you need anything such as a shuttle to the beach or if you have a question About anything. The resort itself is the perfect combination of being in a mountain, a rainforest, and Beachside. Everything about this place is breathtaking and we truly cannot wait to be back!

Just returned from Anse Chastanet and can’t wait to go back. This was a change for us as we normally go to much larger all inclusive resorts. If you’re looking for a high energy, music blasting and party atmosphere then this is not the place to be. This vacation was more about relaxing and without having to always be on the go. Booked through Costco Travel and decided to go with the beachfront room option. From the moment we landed, we were greeted by a rep that guided us through customs and escorted us directly to the private transfer. No battling the lineups and made things super easy. The drive from the airport took just over an hour and like many reviews the last 20 minutes was along the side of the mountain on a very bumpy road. You do have some beautiful picture ops of the Pitons along the way. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and check in was quick and easy. As mentioned we opted for the beachfront room and wasn’t disappointed. The room was spacious enough for the four of us and the outdoor seating space was ample! The beds were a bit firm but no complaints. The 30 second walk to the beach made life easy everyday in case you wanted to go back for any reason. Beaches: more than enough huts for everyone and there was no need to reserve seating. The staff would bring over the towels and lounge covers once you selected a spot. ( the best beach loungers compared to every other resort we’ve ever been to. ) When you needed to order and food or drinks, you would simply stick the flag in the sand and someone would be there within minutes. The sand gets hot! And the first few feet into the water can be a bit rocky but once in it felt like heaven. No seagrass to battle with. This is definitely a snorkeling and scuba dream location. Amazing spots to see and appreciate the aquatic wildlife. The other beach option- Anse Mamin is a short 6 minute walk or you can take the water taxi over. Another beautiful beach with the same amazing service. Definitely try out the burger with banana ketchup! Dining: overall the food was fantastic. Don’t expect buffet with tons of options but their menu featured a variety of protein and vegetarian options. The hilltop restaurant also had several daily specials menus to compliment the regular menu. Highly recommend the all inclusive meal plan as the way to go. We were told that approximately 90% of the ingredients is directly grown on the property and sourced locally. There are several other tasting menu specials ( separate cost ) that you take part in. Staff: everyone was very friendly and accommodating and a joy to interact with. No request was to big and made sure we felt welcomed with a friendly smile and hello. What truly sets Anse Chastanet apart is the little things such as a hand written letter welcoming us to the resort, the fun facts cards left on our beds at nightly turn down and the coconut muffins given to us on the day we left as a thank you for visiting. Incredible service, stunning views, amazing staff made this vacation everything we wanted it to be.

Superb stay at Anse Chastenet. The stars of the show are absolutely the team - customer service from everyone - reception, servers, drivers, cleaning team - is exceptional. Everyone greets you warmly each day, everyone remembers your name, everyone has time for you and treats you as a valued member of the Anse Chastenet family for the time you're there : creates a truly exceptional atmosphere. The hotel itself is of course superb too. Excellent views, superbly appointed rooms and really great activities. The steps from the beach to the top of the hill help balance the excess from the bars and the restaurants! Really hope we will come again!

Been all over the Caribbean and Mexico and never seen such a beautiful resort. Best snorkeling on the resort I’ve seen in 20 years anywhere. The staff made you feel like royalty. They remembered your name and what your drunk was. Oliver showed my wife how to sail. Denise best waitress ever. All the bartenders at the beach bar were amazing. It was the best vacation ever
