We stayed at the Hotel Chocolat in January the first couple into the Luxe Pods. On arrival we were asked to sit down and enjoy a welcome drink before being taken by Chester, the hotel Manager to our Luxe Pod. He was obviolusly very proud and excited to show us around our accommodation especially the huge shower plus a very... More

Just returned from Hotel Chocolat and it was awesome. Ditto for everything that Julia 181 wrote. From the arrival at the airport to our sad good byes we were treated like family, royal family at that! We stayed in Luxe Pod 3 which was just finished and highly recommend it. Try all of the activities from the Gros Piton climb,... More

We went to The Hotel Chocolat for a week without children to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. We expected wonderful things based on the reviews we had seen, but anything that is put in writing doesn't do it credit! We were met at the airport with drinks and cold flannels and transported to the hotel. We knew that there was... More

I'm in my first day here at Hotel Chocolat, a gorgeous little 14-room hotel and resort near Soufriere on mountainous, gorgeous St. Lucia. As of January 25, 2012, the spa is still 12-18 months away, but one is tempted to say, "Who cares?" what with the exquisite little A-frame chalets with their Duravit fixtures, enclosed outdoor showers, Ren toiletries, exquisite...

We stayed 5 nights here at the end of November and we loved every minute of it. We were picked up by the hotel and able to check in early. It opened in March 2011 and everything is new. There was still construction on the luxe pods but we had expected that. No bed bugs. The attention to detail in... More

We booked 6 nights at the Hotel Chocolat back in August 2011, and had been eagerly anticipating it ever since - it did not disappoint. The Rabot Estate is a working cocoa plantation in the rainforest just south of Soufriere, just across the road from Ladera Resort. It has a wonderful, full, view of the Petit Piton, but no sea...

Hotel Chocolat was the first stop on my wedding trip and we had a magnificent, romantic stay there. Based on our experience of travelling in the Caribbean, I'll try to summarize some of the things that made our stay at Hotel Chocolat so fantastic: 1. First and foremost the kind, smiling, happy and wonderful staff. And I'm not just talking... More

We stayed for a week in late October and even though we hit the end of the rainy season we had an amazing time. Though work was underway on new buildings at the hotel, our "pod" was luxurious and offered one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept upon. In addition, a shower under the stars at the end...

The pros: - Beautiful location on a cocoa plantation gives you a sense that you are literally in a cottage in the middle of the rainforest. - The semi open-air cottages (no glass on the windows, open air shower) further enhance the “close to nature feeling”. - The hotel is brand new and everything is built and designed to a...
