We did the peak to beach package and are so glad we started our honeymoon here! We needed someplace where we could rest and relax. This is the place to do it! The resort is very remote and we had no worries about hanging out in our room and using the private pool all day. The food is delicious and... More

My husband and I just got married this past week in Soufriere, St. Lucia and wanted to stay somewhere extra special during our wedding week. We stayed in Room U, which had a beautiful view of the Petit Piton (all rooms have 3 walls- the fourth is open air and absolutely amazing). The room comes with a plunge pool and... More

I would never, ever stay here again. For $600 a night, I expect at the very least a hot water shower (with enough water pressure to rinse your hair) and to not hear your neighbors like a cheap Motel 6. Yes, they offered to move us to another room, but when you're vacationing for just a week, even one night... More

My husband and I stayed here for the second part of our honeymoon. We have both experienced some amazing hotels around the world but this really was a totally different experience, very beautiful and so relaxing. Everything is done very tastefully and to a very high standard but also en-capturing the natural surroundings and beauty. The view from our room... More

When walking into our room at Ladera my heart skipped a beat, for I was overwhelmed with happiness and serenity from the beauty surrounding me.

I have stayed in very nice hotels before, but Ladera is set apart from the rest. The experience is a truly organic one, and the staff really makes everything flow seamlessly. We traveled something in the off-season and were very discreetly upgraded to a truly spectacular room (although they are all wonderful). Everyone at Ladera was exceptionally friendly and accommodating.... More

I have never walked into a room and been so amazed at my view. It was like that commercial where the family walks in and everyone is happy. We had X5, and it more than we expected, and we were very pleased. The rooms have 3 walls, which takes a bit of an adjustment to wrap your head around, but... More

My wife and I went here for our honeymoon, and loved it. The 3-walled rooms were perfect since they were private yet gave us a spectacular view of the Pitons and the bay. The staff was excellent and even though we only stayed there for 3 days, they were calling us by our names by the second day. The only... More

Like many visitors to the marvelous island of St Lucia, we split our stay between two sites. This first visit, we chose to stay a week at the Ti Kaye Village (see separate review) at Anse Chacon followed by four nights at the Ladera. While there are a number of GREAT choices one can make, we found several other couples... More

First of all what a amazing resort! Truly unique setting and gorgeous view. We had our wedding there in Dec 2012 on the Paradise Ridge.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Ladera opened in November 1992 and has since been distinguished by a wide range of international publications, awards and accolades from Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Forbes Life Caribbean Travel and Life, Brides Magazine and countless others. Ladera was once part of Rabot Estate, one of Soufriere’s oldest plantations, which still borders the resort. In the late 1960’s a parcel of land was sold and developed into a small cluster of condominiums and christened Dasheene, named after the thousands of large, glossy-leafed dasheen plants (also known as elephant ears) harvested on the site. In 1982 it was transformed into a unique resort and changed hands a number of times before emerging as Ladera under the current private ownership. The mission has always been to offer an unparalleled guest experience that is quintessentially Saint Lucian, one that embraces the magnificent views and offers harmony with the surrounding natural beauty and rich bounty of the island. Today, that commitment to sumptuous authenticity is evident in everything from the innovative renderings of fresh local dishes at Dasheene restaurant, to the use of Caribbean timbers, stone and tile work used in the guestrooms and public areas. Yet it shines through most effectively with warm and welcoming Saint Lucian staff. ... more   less
