once in a lifetime experience! Rooms were unique and resort workers were above and beyond. We went for our honeymoon in October and will definitely be back for an anniversary trip. Food at dasheen was amazing, clean and fresh. Only downside is it’s a drive from the beach but the views make up for it!

I can heartily recommend Ladera Resort to your attention. Its setting is stunning and the accommodations are lovely. But it’s the people who truly make it a spectacular place to visit.

I can heartily recommend Ladera Resort to your attention. Its setting is stunning and the accommodations are lovely. But it’s the people who truly make it a spectacular place to visit. Everyone was polite but friendly. We were regularly asked if there was anything they could do for us. They met every request with a smile and promptly delivered on it. People would often go out of their way to meet our requests or observations. I asked what a specific plant was and they sent the gardener to tell me! I would like to name a few people who were especially helpful. They are Yvette, Iysa, Sherin, Vilma and Davy. I apologize to those whose names I’ve forgotten. Read less

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Ladera Resort. It was a wonderful getaway if you are looking to relax and have privacy. The open air concept bedroom was wonderful! You felt you were one with nature yet staying in luxury. The temperatures were hot in June (not going to lie) but sleeping was still comfortable at night with all the fans they provided plus the natural breeze coming through the room. The Dasheene restaurant provided a wonderful dining experience and the food was delicious. All of the employees were extremely friendly and helpful especially the check in desk with helping us with tours. We kept changing our minds and they did not seem put out at all. I highly recommend this resort and hope to make a return trip in the future! Read less

This resort was a dream. The views and the privacy were everything that we wanted in a couples vacation. We were at first not sure about the open air concept, but it proved to be beautiful. We didn't have a problem with bugs or climate and waking up to the view of the Pitons every morning from our bed was exquisite. The staff was also amazing. We had quite a few changes in our schedule and they moved things around for us and even opened the bar on a Sunday just for us so that we were able to do a rum tasting on my birthday. We did a hike to the treehouse on the site and it was so peaceful. The gym is also really great with a pilates room, weight room and cardio room. The private pool in the room was amazing and the breakfast served to the room was delicious each day. We went down to visit Sugar Beach on the shuttle and although the beach is lovely, I am glad that we stayed at the Ladera because it is much more peaceful and quiet than the beach resort. We also did an evening sunset sail with snorkeling that was great. I did not want to leave. Highly recommend this resort to anyone going to St. Lucia. Read less

From our arrival to departure the staff at Ladera made sure everything ran smoothly. Our room was lovely, and we especially loved the small treats on the bed each night. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the trail and all the swings on the walk and the amazing treehouse along the way. We had breakfast at Dashene every morning and dinner there two evenings. The view is beautiful especially at sunset. The game room and gym are both really nice as well. If you are looking for an open room concept close to the pitons, Ladera can’t be beat. Read less
