Fond Doux Plantation & Resort

Stayed in Angelina. Loved it! Gorgeous yellow house for my friend and me, with so much Caribbean character. The decor was beautiful. We loved sitting on the veranda and looking at the gorgeous trees and plants, watching birds, enjoying the peace. At night the noise from the tree frogs was incredible but the beds were very comfortable and they didn't keep us awake! It felt like such an amazing experience to be among the trees and listen to the wildlife. The restaurant was very good and the staff all very helpful and friendly. We did the chocolate heritage tour which was very interesting too.

Resort was okay, staff was warm and friendly ESPECIALLY NASHA & SHANTAI...we stayed at Nutmeg cottage ..private pool everything except housekeeping was gud Staff needs more attention to detail & treat all guests the same wether local or tourist....

Had a most wonderful stay for a week at this hotel - absolutely different from any other experience. Although it rained every day (it is not called the rain forest for nothing!) it was so relaxing to sit on the porch of Cinnamon and watch the humming birds on the flowers. (Be aware that at night the whistling tree frogs and insects are NOISY!) Shyne was a wonderful guide who took us around the estate tour, the chocolate tour (where we made our own bar of chocolate) and also the historical tour. The food was excellent (we unfortunately discovered how good fried bakes were!) and the staff so friendly both in reception, the restaurant and the bar. We walked to the Hotel Chocolat for lunch one day, and also walked the Tet Paul trail from the hotel (hard work but well worth the uphill climb!) For future guests the on site trail to see the Pitons is quite easy going up, but quite rocky on the return circuit (it is a circular trail). Also - if you take the mini bus to Sugar Beach it drops you at security which is quite a long way down to the beach - and hard work on the way back - we were 1 minute late (it returns at 3pm) and it had left early - we had to contact reception who luckily sent a car to pick us up! (As a word of warning - the restaurant at Sugar Beach is excessively expensive we were charged 13 US dollars for a bottle of water(nearly £10) and this is the only place in 2 weeks where we were charged for water! We had to eat there as it was pouring with rain - a burger, a jerk chicken, 1 beer and 1 coke and a bottle of water was nearly £100!.

My Fiancé and I had a wonderful time at Fond Doux, the Food was amazing!!!! Loved the Breakfast Cocoa Tea !! 😊😊😊 Friendly Staff like Diane, Shantel, Feresa (front desk) Yan (Security) so many others but forgot their name. We will be back, thank you for a lovely time! 😁

A Magical Twist in St. Lucia – When a Cancelled Flight Becomes a Dream Detour My adventure in St. Lucia was already unforgettable, a place where the warmth of the people leaves a lasting impression on your heart. But it was on the day I was meant to return to England that the island showed me a little more of its magic. Adverse weather had swept through, grounding all flights. No plane could land or take off. As the airport slowly emptied out after the rush and excitement of the day, a quiet stillness settled over the space. Only a few of us remained—stranded, but calm. British Airways handled the situation wonderfully, offering support and reassurance. But there we were, a handful of travelers surrounded by silence, wondering what to do next. Then came a beautiful twist. A kind airport receptionist suggested we head to Fond Doux Eco Resort, just 40 minutes away. My friend was still debating, but I felt a calm certainty. Something about St. Lucia’s beauty and the kindness of its people made it easy to trust the journey. I looked at the gentleman next to me and said, “Let’s do this.” Soon, we were in a transfer van, driving through the warm, tropical night. The storm had passed, the skies had cleared, and the road to Soufrière felt like a dream. When we arrived at Fond Doux, we were greeted warmly by staff who looked like kings—tall, strong, and dignified. Security welcomed us and guided us through the lush, dark beauty of the cocoa plantation that surrounded the resort. Then came the best part: my room. They called it The Tree House, nestled above the grounds, up a short hill climb—a perfect fit for a fitness lover like me. As the door opened, I was welcomed by a tranquil, tropical haven. The peaceful energy of the space was immediate. Calm. Serene. Blissful. I took a moment to meditate and simply breathe it all in. Later, my friend called—he had found snacks and drinks waiting in his room. A thoughtful gesture from the hotel that spoke volumes after the chaos of a cancelled flight. In the end, what began as a setback turned into a moment of paradise. Fond Doux wasn’t just a place to stay—it was the highlight of a journey I never expected. If you ever find yourself in St. Lucia, trust the island. Stay a little longer. And definitely stay at Fond Doux.
