this resort is heaven on earth - it is my home away from nome. Nowhere on this planet can compete with the vistas and beauty. So after visiting the resort a few years ago, I realized then and there that there is no need to go to the Cayman Islands or Mexico or Bali. They cannot match the quality of the food, the pure relaxation of being on site at Cap Maison. After about 10 visits to date, I realize that when I come back home to the states, I am already missing my true home in St Lucia. BTW- the WiFi is excellent everywhere including the beach which is what makes everything that more perfect. Staff are wonderful. Food is Michelin quality. Ross is the best management one could have- always available and I am bringing another bottle of bourbon to him on my next visit. If you book, you will have no regrets and only peace and relaxation- that I guarantee. Howard Read less

This review is for Cap Maison at large, which was an absolutely stunning and breathtaking property, exceptionally hospitable with amazing food and drink! But it is also for a special gentlemen, Mr. Darrell, who was one of the waitstaff at the Cliff restaurant. It seemed as if Darrell never left the property, he was always buzzing around with trays and cocktails, plates and silverware ready to serve the guests. He had such a refreshing attitude and seemed so passionate about his profession. He was a man who is exceptional at what he does and truly knows how to deliver customer service. He had the perfect balance of humility, professionalism, and sense of humor!Thank you Darrell and thank you to the entire Cap Maison team! Read less

The suite we stayed in was amazing with a roof top terrace and plunge pool. The suite was well equipped, including a full cocktail making kit and all the bottles you could need for a perfect sundowner. The bed was super comfortable and with loads of different spaces to relax. We had only planned to stay a night, but it was so nice we asked for another night, which the hotel quickly accommodated in a different room. While not an amazing suite, the room was also lovely and clean, well equipped, with seating space inside and out. Our two nights felt a lot longer. Perfect mini-break - thanks to all. Read less

Oh, what an amazing resort Cap Maison is! My wife and I looked forward to our second visit there, but we were somewhat anxious since we had been here before many years ago, and thought maybe it will have lost some luster over time. Sometimes when you have a great experience once, the second time isn't as good...possibly because you had experienced things anew, the unfamiliar can offer unexpected surprises; or maybe we simply play things up in our memory more than we should. I can tell you that once again though, we were simply blown away by Cap Maison! Yes, the resort is still singularly gorgeous, yes the venue for dining is spectacular, yes, the private roof top pool and huge villa rooms are comfortable and they boast great views...but the very best amenity they have are the amazing staff who work there, and the attention to detail they all extend to everyone. From the beautiful Deverney, their helpful concierge, to Julian and staff at the spa, to Tyler and Darrell at the cliff restaurant, to Bob, the helpful and attentive beach server, and Robert the knowledgeable and friendly Sommelier...even the thorough house cleaning staff...I wish I could list them all! Wow! Always a yes, always a "how can I assist?", never without a smile or open greeting. I truly don't know how they do it...but the entire staff is a collective family who can't wait to embrace you as one of their own. Don't miss dining one night on the small island Rock platform in the middle of the sea, or an intimate and very fun private roof top Barb-q, or the private gazebo breakfast on the cliff, or the tasty wine tasting in the Cellar. The intimate spa lesson experience for couples is so fun, as we learned how to make each other relax with new skills as we learned about the science behind the mechanics of a massage. Do you appreciate a talented bartender who remembers how you prefer your drink? You are covered here! This is the perfect romantic intimate getaway spot for a quiet, intimate, spectacularly luxurious experience. There are other great resorts on this West Indies island of St. Lucia, but I can tell you that Jade Mountain or Anse Chastenet are TWICE the cost as the Cap, and they offer a less personalized relaxing romantically unique experience. If an all inclusive experience is what you are after...The Cap Maison has a package for that here too...but on a scale that Sandals could only dream to provide. Having been married for over thirty years, we know that more than a spark can be found at the Cap; so if you want to bring back the fire of your honeymoon back, just book yourself a trip here as a Christmas present to reward each other...you simply can't do better than this! Sincerely, Charles & Jeanne There are many places we have been in this world, but I can tell you that as far as 5 star resorts go, this one should be on your bucket list for sure. Read less

Actually visited Feb 2023, but I don’t have the option to go back that far and am only just playing catch-up. We had a fantastic week at Cap Maison. Couldn’t fault the food, atmosphere, service or standard of the hotel. The beach was great - clean, good lifeguard service, and the Naked Fosherman was the perfect place to hang out for food and drinks. Our only comment (definately not a criticism) is that there isn’t too much for kids to do, so just think about this before booking. We bought four teenagers and they kept themselves busy, so it was no issue for us. It’s also at the very north of the island, which makes day trips to the centre/south/pitons that bit longer as the journey time increases. A few reviews said to beware the steps up from the beach to the resort, but they really aren’t that bad at all if you’re in reasonable health! It’s a fairly small resort, and if we were to return may split the week into two, and just have three or four nights here as some of the other guests were doing. Otherwise, it was almost perfect.
