Ladera Resort

10/10 at Ladera—It was our 43rd year anniversary. We are a M/F couple who needed these 4 relaxing days to reconnect right after the busy holidays. Upon entering the resort, we had an immediate ‘White Lotus’ season 3 vibe. The reception/concierge team of Caroline, Abigail, Ariela took care of anything and everything! Views of the two Pitons and the Sugar Beach bay below with sailboats and yachts was our sunrise and sunset. We paid more for the Holiday Suite, but had a two level room with large private, heated pool. The open wall vibe was romantic, exciting and simply amazing! A bonus being a nonstop flight from ATL!

This is a lovely resort, and for couples looking for privacy and escape, its perfect. The rooms could benefit from being updated, but they are very spacious and more like a small apartment. Sadly I did not score it 5, as the food is below what you'd expect of such a resort. They really do need to address this.

We stayed here as part of our St Lucia honeymoon and it was nothing short of perfection! The view from our open room was incredible. The staff at the resort were welcoming and we had no issues with service. Definitely worth ordering room service breakfast for the perfect morning. The room was clean and the aesthetic fit the resort atmosphere. The open room did come with challenges against nature at night (this would be 10/10 if there was a wall in the bedroom and air con) however the views were worth it. A stunning resort for a honeymoon, would definitely recommend!

We went for our honeymoon for over a week and loved every minute. The room was better than we imagined and the view was even better. The entire experience from start to finish was well thought out and we felt special. The location, architecture, grounds, plants, staff, and weather add to the beauty of Ladera. The restaurant food was great with tons of options and room service for any meal. The experiences they offer made the trip adventurous (volcanic mud bathes were our favorite) plus the shuttle to the beaches made things easy. We will 100% be going back!

We stayed in a heritage suite for three days in December. Coming from the northeast USA in cold dark December to beautiful St Lucia is the way to go. The resort itself is gorgeous. It sits on a ridge between the pitons with spectacular views which the photos on the resorts website do not exaggerate. The staff were all polite and went above and beyond in their hospitality. We booked through American Express fine hotels and resorts program and enjoyed free breakfast each day at Dashene and a late checkout. The food at Dashene is good and the views and service there are excellent. We took advantage of complimentary yoga on the pool deck with a great instructor. All in all this is one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at. The open concept (3 walls) style rooms took a little getting used to but once you do it’s such a great way to live. Waking up with the sun and getting out of the HVAC air we live in 24/7 in the USA was revitalizing. We also did the couples massage at leve spa which was a treat. I would highly recommend Ladera to anyone going to st Lucia. It’s perfectly located and is a world class property. As a note, Ladera does have a few rooms with 4 walls and AC so book one of those if you must.
