Ladera is THE place to stay in St. Lucia! This was my second visit to St. Lucia and my second stay at Ladera Resort. The three walled rooms are such a unique concept. Every room faces out to the Caribbean Sea with a view of the Pitons. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with both indigenous, and non-indigenous species. Everywhere on the property is a fabulous view and a feast for the eyes. You feel as though you are a true Eden. The hotel is both rustic and elegant, high end, but not snobbish. The staff is helpful, friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much for them to go out of their way for you.
Dasheene, the restaurant on the premises is run by Chef Nigel,a gourmet chef who specializes in both local and global cuisine.
For my money, the only place to stay in St. Lucia is Ladera Resort!
