Anse Chastanet

Everything about Anse Chastanet was absolutely wonderful! We stayed here for 4 nights out of our ten day trip (the other 6 nights were at Stonefield so see my review for there too). Providing more details as previous reviews really helped us make decisions. Our room: We stayed in a beachside villa. Very grateful for the air conditioning here to escape the heat, but couldn’t really sit in the outer area because of the heat/no air movement. What I didn’t realize from reading the room descriptions and other reviews is that there is another room above (two levels) and we could hear things at times from the people above. Recommend bringing more power converters for 110 voltage - a power bar was provided but would only charge one device at a time. Hubby felt room was a little dated. The food: We chose the all inclusive option and it was great! Lots of food options and lots of cocktails to try. Beach service was excellent. Given that I don’t eat fish, seafood, or spicy food, I found there were still great dinner options for me. Hubby loved all the fish/ seafood, especially the shrimp cocktails on the beach! The staff: Spoke English very well so were easy to understand. Everyone was so friendly and we were impressed by the long tenure of most employees. Met new general manager Andrew while we were there too! The excursions: We did the Jazzy Sunset cruise which turned into an awesome whale watching trip! We also did jungle biking with Tory and had a great time! Highly recommend both! Special touches: They provided an anniversary card and a complimentary bottle of champagne which was very sweet. The resort orientation was very informative. Valuable tip: Hubby first found Saint Lucia due to a travel feature on Jade Mountain. As Anse Chastanet is a sister resort to Jade Mountain, we inquired about having a meal there. Our lunch there was spectacular! Well worth the upcharge so do this! Highly recommend Anse Chastanet!

Anse Chastanet is a beautiful resort. We were amazed by the dedication and positivity of the staff. Everyone is kind and genuinely interested in talking with you. Gifter helped us make reservations at the spa and change our dinner reservation time at Jade Mountain, We were welcomed at the airport with a mint scented cold towel and a bottle of water. When we arrived at the resort, we were greeted with a welcome drink and another mint scented cold towel. We appreciated the kind gestures at the beginning of the trip. We stayed in a beachside deluxe room, which was a perfect choice for us. The rooms are spacious and the outdoor sitting area is covered and surrounded by beautiful plants. We enjoyed the excursions. I recommend the half day sailing, jazzy sunset cruise, and chocolate class that includes a visit to Emerald Farm. Teron did an outstanding job explaining the chocolate making process. He is friendly and knowledgeable and has a bright future ahead of him. Martin gave us a tour of Emerald Farms. You can tell he is passionate about the farm and the items grown there. Kerwin, Captain, and Kwame, first mate, made our half-day selling a memorable and educational experience. Kerwin is kind and patient and he made all of the sailors feel at ease on the sailboat and while snorkeling. You can tell that Kerwin is passionate and wants to share this beautiful island with his sailors. We especially loved the jazzy Sunset cruise. Garfield and the crew treated us like royalty. Both beaches are beautiful, but Anse Mamin is more private and less crowded. Please take time to snorkel near Anse Chastanet beach. Thank you to the entire staff for making our trip memorable. We can’t wait to return to Anse Chastanet.

I wanted to share some thoughts with you about the staff. After all, it is the employees that really make things happen. We were so impressed with the quality of the people and will never forget their warmth and caring. More than that though, it appears that the personal commitment they all possessed was indeed a rare thing. From Peter to Ricardo, from Michelina to Daniel, and so many others, it is hard to imagine a more dedicated group of people. You can have all the great food, scenery, and romantic atmosphere, but “nothing” is more important than the employees. Cherish them all, as they are the reason Anse Chastanet is the fabulous place that it is. I guess you can tell we enjoyed ourselves.

From the moment we were greeted t the airport by an Anse Chastanet representative with cooling towels to refresh us after our flight we felt very welcomed. The entire experience was first class. Every employee at the resort from the manager to maintenance consistently expressed a genuine desire to make sure we were enjoying our stay and a desire to improve our experience. Food was excellent. Service in all areas exceeded our expectations from room cleaning to the dive operation.

The entire experience was magical -- the property, the food, the service, and especially the staff! The food was beautifully plated and offered an exceptional variety, with a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options. The dive guides took extra care to ensure our safety and to find the special creatures on our wish-to-see list - and more! The dive boats were the best I have ever experienced. The entire team went the extra mile, providing services like serving hot chocolate after a night dive, ensuring our group could sit together at meals, attending to our every need, and sending us off with a lunch on the trip back to the airport.
