Ladera is dream! The unbelievable, jaw dropping beauty of the hotel and the rooms is undeniable. What is even more incredible is that the experience doesn't stop there - no stone is left unturned - from food, drinks, service, spa treatments, activities, even gift shop - everything is nothing less than stellar!

My husband and I rented the entire property for for 4 days for our 80 person wedding - which was a complicated undertaking. But everyone at Ladera was beyond helpful for the 8 months prior to the wedding and, if it's even possible, even more so during the 4 day affair. It seemed as though during the entire 8 months leading through the wedding events that Ladera had only been working with us - that's how the personal and dedicated every interaction was.

The hotel manager, Robert Stewart, personally took care of every single detail - even ones that we didn't think, discuss or even dream of, in order to make the event that much more incredible. The chef, Orlando, customized 4 days of menus that would make even the most sophisticated palate's mouth water. The rest of the staff were the kindest, friendliest, most willing to help people we have come across in all our travels. Everyone was constantly going out of their way to make our stay, as well as all our guests, absolutely unforgettable. We could never imagined a wedding as incredible as ours - and we have only Ladera to thank for it.

Their slogan is "above and beyond." Ladera is really above, beyond, and over the top of any other travel experience at any other hotel you will ever have!

We booked for four days but cut our stay short by one day. The views are beautiful, the room is unique but not very luxurious for the price. The food at the hotel is below average despite the hype and it is easily $100 a meal. It costs $100 each way to take a taxi to anywhere so you are kind of a hostage in your room with no TV, etc. and not so good food. The side tours were okay but amateurish and dirty might be appropriate words here. My snorkel mask was filthy for our tour and there was not much to see anyway - lots of jellyfish.

The Staff at Ladera is great - but who is in charge - I never knew. They seem like an amiable family and spend hours outside the few rooms talking and laughing during the day - they were enjoying the Island where everyone knows everyone else.

knew what the rooms were like as we'd seen one on a day trip to st lucia and decided we must go back. Were there for 3 days for our 25th wedding anniversary. true to form LIAT didnt put our luggage on the flight so we had no luggage for 2 days...however...the staff couldnt have been better...even providing 2 t-shirts for my husband. We had a wonderful time, enjoyed meeting Orlando the chef...the frogs were comforting and didnt keep me awake!! The plunge pool was not too cold. The food was lovely. Not a lot more i can say...amazing, fantastic, wonderful place in which to spend 3 days...before heading back to barbados for 5 days!

This property is an absolute "must do in your lifetime"! I've never been anywhere with a more exotic and beautiful setting than Ladera. Be prepared to be pampered and extremely relaxed by the end of your stay. If you're not a person who can "step away from technology" and just relax then this is NOT your place. However, if you like to relax poolside and take in the views then this is absolutely for you! I just can't say enough about the resort and the service. Impeccable! The only downside....be prepared to be "in the elements" as this property is open-air and you'll enjoy the swift breezes as well as some light humidity during your stay but if you can endure it's well worth it!
