“a lovely hotel, but you pay for it”

Anse Chastanet

Jun 27, 2008

Anse Chastanet has many things going for it. The views are stupendous. The people--the staff--are genuinely warm and caring and make it their business to see that you are happy. The beach is perhaps the best on the island, and when you want anything, just raise your flag in the shaded huts and it will be delivered to you. But it is very pricey and you are nickled and dimed for your transfers to and from the airport as well as for tea and snacks. The rooms are generally very nice but have ramshackle spots and there is no air conditioning. Although we were worried about the mosquitos, we actually weren't too bothered by them. The food is generally good--not great--and the seafood generally was underspiced and was often dry.

“THe Best Birthday Ever”

Anse Chastanet

Jun 23, 2008
3/4 found this review helpful

What a fantastic holiday and 5Oth Birthday i had !!!! Our accomodation was simply breathtaking and we could not believe our luck when we were allocated on arrival room 5D, which was a Superior Hillsde room with amazing Piton and Ocean views. My husband and myself have never experienced such luxury before and the sight of the King size four poster bed on entering our bedroom was unbelievable. The decor throughout was much more than either of us expected and our two week stay there is one il never forget. The staff are all very helpful and nothing was to much trouble. We enjoyed all our meals in which ever restaurant we choose to eat at and the service was brilliant. Our favorite waiter was called Teclur (not sure of the spelling) and he is such a darling and made everyone feel special. Down on the beach Abo and Junior are a couple of charactors and really lovely guys. We made friends with most of the staff and this of course made my holiday complete. Will we return !!!! Yes Yes Yes !!! and hopefully for our Silver Wedding next year. Thankyou to everyone at Anse Chastanet for a holiday of a lifetime from Sue and Norman back in Leigh in England

“relaxing break in a beautiful setting”

Anse Chastanet

Jun 20, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

I have just returned from a week's stay at Anse Chastanet and would throughly recommend it.

I was looking for a relaxing break and Anse delivered, with customer service second to none. On the suggestion of another TripAdvisor reviewer we opted for their "all inclusive" package which I would also recommend as once at Anse you are quite isolated.

Unless you go out for the odd exursion you will spend all of your time at Anse - and you will not want to go anywhere else to eat because the food on offer is of a high standard. If you don't opt for the "all inclusive" the meals separately are quite expensive.

The other positives: rooms are spacious and have lovely views of the pitons and the beach, the staff are very welcoming, the hotel is very well positioned and the design is well thought out - blending in with the local landscape rather than imposing on it. Thankfully, it doesn't really feel like a traditional souless hotel.

The only down sides are : the rooms have fans rather than air con and it is not always easy to sleep in the heat. Although they spray the rooms with repellent I found the mosquitos to be a real problem. I have travelled extensively and am not usually prone to bites but I got eaten alive here! The worst bites I have ever had!!

On the last day we had to vacate our room at 12 although our flight wasn't until later in the afternoon. The only place they offered for us to have a shower and get ready was at the spa. The spa doesn't really have very good facilities. It was a struggle to get ready in the sweaty, (no fan) dark, shower room which had no where to put anything / no mirror etc. By the time we climbed back up the steps to the main hotel, with our bags, we might as well have not bothered taking a shower. Not a good end to our stay - especially before a long flight back to the UK!

On Tuesdays everyone eats down on the beach. This buffet style meal was the only slightly disappointing meal, I didn't think was up to the usual standard. We also had the impression that this meal would be a bit different entertainment wise - and there would be a bit of a 'party' atmosphere down on the beach - but it was no different from any other night - we just ate our meal and left!

Finally, I went to the Kai Belte spa on the first day and had a bindi massage - it was fine / nice but I was not overly impressed. I thought the spa could do with a bit of an overhaul it was a bit scruffy!

All in all if you are looking for a relaxing break, with nice food - and where everything is done for you this is a great place. There are plenty of other things to do excursion wise, including scuba diving, biking etc. but I was just looking for an opportunity to relax for a week! It was a great holiday and I would go back again. Just watch out for those steps - you have to be quite fit to manage those every day.

This is the first time I have ever written a review but I felt I must because of how AMAZING this place is!! Me and my hubby stayed here on our honeymoon May 27-June 2. We did the Total Romance- All Inclusive Package. It was absolutely gorgeous!! We stayed in room 2C. The view from our room was breath taking...the Pitons on our left and the ocean to our right! After walking into our room the first day, we decided to add on another night!! We originally toyed with the idea of upgrading to Jade Mountain on our last night but opted to stay an extra day instead...it was nearly the same amount...

The staff was GREAT!! Everyone was so friendly. Most of the staff knew my name/room number by the 2nd night. My husband and I felt like celebrities....and there were some celebrities there during our stay... :)

You must do the All Inclusive...if not, a couple will spend at least $200 per day for meals. Plus, with the All Inclusive, you get to do some really cool tours. The Jungle Bike Riding was the best. The Volcano Tour and Mineral Baths/ Botantical Gardens tour was okay...but I am not that in to gardens. The waterfall was beautiful, though! Also, do the Fish Fry on Friday..the food, music and local atmosphere are awesome!! The spa is GREAT!!

The food is way better than I expected for an all-inclusive. The Indian themed restaurant is the best!

BEWARE: The mesquitoes are HORRIBLE!!! Don't forget to pack your repellent, especially because it costs like $10 US in the resort store.

It was also a hassle to sign for everything (if you're on the all inclusive) and I was worried that we would get stuck with a huge bill at the end...but we didn't!! So just be patient and wait to sign your check!

This place was GREAT!! The hubby and I are going back in 5 years....we're going to stay in Jade Mountain...FYI, they give tours of Jade Mountain..you MUST see this place...it's AMAZING!!!

GO TO ANSE CHASTANET!!! There are not enough great things that I can say about this place!

After almost going to Sandals in St. Lucia and having a HORRIFIC experience with customer service and booking, a friend recommended Anse Chastenet. Needless to say, it was the greatest 7-night honeymoon I could have ever asked for. Everything, from the rooms, to the luxury, was unbelievable. At first we were worried about the hurricane season, and it did rain for about a half an hour or an hour each day, but other than that we had no problems. If you are going, take advantage of the all-inclusive option and the activities that most all-inclusive places do not offer as part of the "deal" such as a couples Swedish massage, a Scuba diving lesson, a tour of the Sulphur springs and mineral baths, and a tour of Anse Mamin. The customer service was so incredible that we were upgrade to Jade Mountain for the last night of our honeymoon because they had to cancel a sailboat trip. If you can ever afford it, Jade Mountain was the most luxurious place I've ever seen in my life. Doing one "activity" a day, made the delicious dinners in the Tree House even better. My only complaint was that service was slow (they are on island time....it's the Carribean!) and that I was too stuffed from eating to fully take advantage of the frozen drinks. All in all, I don't know if we'd ever be able to afford it again, but we want to go back for an anniversary! Our pictures of the Pitons don't even do it slight justice.
