We had the best stay at Ladera. It is a fantastic resort - the best views I've ever experienced in my life combined with excellent service and luxurious amenities. We loved everything about the resort. The staff are amazing - Caroline in reception was so wonderful and we had the best time with mixologist Jermie in the Hideaway rum bar (we went literally every night it was open!). The food is great and service was wonderful. We had breakfast included in our room price - a great deal, definitely worth the value! We will be back for sure! Read less

We stayed at the Ladera in Nov 24 for our belated honeymoon and it was amazing. Our room was spacious and with its own heated pool which also had a view of the Pitons. The staff are super friendly and will make you feel very pampered. The on site restaurant, Dasheene, has food to die for. If you’re heading to Saint Lucia the Ladera is a must stay… Read more

Everything about this Resort was perfect. When we arrived, we immediately were upgraded to a suite because we were celebrating our honeymoon. Following that, we couldn't pick our jaws up off the floor from the beauty of the room with the stunning picturesque view of the pitons from the pool in the room. Everyone was so unbelievably kind following that, from the concierge down to the housekeepers, everyone was quick to greet you with smiles, ask how you slept, ask about your plans for the day. It was absolutely the most lovely experience we could've asked for and more. If there was a way to give Ladera higher than 5 stars, I would. Read less

My wife and I returned recently from St Lucia after spending a wonderful and relaxing week at Ladera. The resort was amazing. It is literally paradise. The views from our villa were spectacular and the flowers and natural vegetation are breathtaking. It is a wonderful place to lose yourself. A few days before we left the island, my wife cut her hand . We called guest services and Yvette, the Front Office Manager, immediately came over with a first aid kit. As soon as she saw how deep the cut was she quickly contacted the hospital in Soufriere, arranged for transportation, and accompanied my wife and I to the hospital. Yvette was kind enough to come with us and ensured that my wife received quick attention. She even helped in obtaining the follow-up medication at a local pharmacy in Soufriere. We can't recommend Ladera enough. The grounds are beautiful, the restaurants are incredible and the staff treats you like family. The people we met who worked there are wonderful. Everybody was kind, gracious and took amazing care of us. Ladera is truly a one of a kind place. Read less
