There is no fourth wall in villas at Ladera – instead, there is the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Pitons, two mountainous volcanic spires that attract adventure-seekers from across the world. A faint tropical breeze wafts from the Caribbean Sea far below through netting on a four-poster bed carved from polished tropical hardwood. Incentive to leave your room can be found in chef Nigel Mitchel's creative interpretation of traditional island fare – try the roast conch served with organic vegetables from the neighboring plantation.

This is by far one of the best vacations I have been on and is such a magical place. The views, rooms, food, service is top notch. What makes this place so special is the people there. Leah was our server the first night and we kept coming back just because of her. She made my birthday so special in so many ways. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy everything this resort has to offer especially the people. Whoever is managing this resort congratulations on having some of the best staff I’ve been exposed to.

Went with my wife for my birthday. Exceeded my very high expectations. I loved the staff, particularly (Ray the Gardener, Tanisha, Caroline, Lea, Glenna and the breakfast staff, and others.) We had Hilltop 7 which was fabulous with a swing and a big heated pool. It was so EASY to sleep at night as our bed had a bed net around it and the wind made it cool in the evenings. 37 rooms in the whole hotel and it never seemed busy whatsoever. We didn't EVER hear the next door neighbors even though we know they were there. (We hope they didn't hear us but if they did, it was all positive.) We've stayed at great hotels before but this was my favorite HOTEL experience. I loved St. Lucia and the hiking and excursions but I LOVED Ladera. I'd go back to Ladera for Ladera. St Lucia is an added bonus. It's the only hotel room we didn't feel guilty just hanging around in and enjoying the view and each other. Total privacy and you can really let loose ;). Just what a busy couple who is parents to 5 kids need on a romantic getaway. We met honeymooners, young and old people. Such a great place. And we met Christian and Sonya, the managers. They were lovely. Everyone seemed happy to be working there and they were genuine. I'm SOOOOO pleased. Thanks, Ladera. I can't wait to see you again!

I always wanted to go to Ladera ever since I saw its photos from magazine covers. Stayed 4 nights and it didn’t disappoint. Knowing we won’t be going out too much, we also had the all-inclusive plan. Location: the location is superb, right by the Pitons, very close to Volcano, Soufriere, Sugar beach and hiking trails. The short drives also help for people who have motion sickness as the roads in St Lucia are very winding. Food/Restaurant: Food is good but not exceptional, limited choices and varieties. Room for improvement here. The view from the restaurants is incredible. The AI plan made my stay much more relax. Services: The staffs are the friendliest people, they went all the way and beyond to accommodate, help and serve. I couldn't thank them enough. Rooms: We stayed at #K (Gros Piton). It has 2 floors. 1st floor has a sofa, mini bar/sink, dining table/chairs, 2 chaises and a heated plunge pool with a jaw dropping view of both Pitons. 2nd floor has a bed, closet, bathroom and a long bench balcony overlooking the same jaw dropping view. No bathroom on 1st floor. We were given #Q when we requested for late check out, so I also had a chance to see other Gros Pitons layout. Room Q is one big floor with 3 steps down to the bed and bathroom. It feels more spacious and convenient with everything on 1 floor, no narrow stair climbing up and down. However, there’s no view from the bed since the bed was tucked in the back. Also only 1 Piton is visible from the sofa and pool. You need to walk to the edge of wall to see both Pitons. These are just the slight differences, both rooms are gorgeous. Tours/Activities: The hotel offer many tour options and activities inside the resort. The private nature trail inside the property is a must do. Tips: This is for people who attract mosquitos easily. The insect repellent hotel provided is too mild for me. Despite I applied multiple times a day, I still got bites. For people who have problem with mosquitos, bring (stronger) insect repellent that works for you. In conclusion, I enjoyed every minute in Ladera and will certainly return to this paradise in the future.

My husband and I stayed at Ladera Resort in beautiful St. Lucia for our 15 year wedding anniversary in December 2024. Words cannot describe the amazing experience we had from the beautiful rooms with majestic views of the pitons, to the delicious foods prepared by Chef Nigel, to the wonderful hospitality of ALL the staff, with an extra shout out and special thanks to Tanisha, Sheril, Abigail, Vianne, Arielle, Lee and Lorne; you each made it your business to make us comfortable and accommodated our every wish!!! I highly recommend this resort for couples, honeymooners and just anyone that seeks to be one with nature and experience God’s majestic blessings!! With gratitude, Mr. & Mrs. Barrera

Wonderful setting, delicious food, excellent customer service, lots of options for outings. The staff works hard to make sure you are happy. The weather is consistently warm. Dipping pool in the room is a nice touch that we used everyday. The hike around the property is easy. We love it here

My boyfriend and I spent a week at Ladera Resort in St. Lucia, West Indies, this past October. It is a beautiful resort with incredibly attentive and friendly staff. I would like to specifically mention Chef Orlando Satchell. He made an already special stay at Ladera even more wonderful. The room we stayed in was utterly incredible. The view of the ocean flanked by the Pitons, with the moon casting a path on the sea below was magic. It was an incredibly romantic, relaxing vacation which neither one of us wanted to end.
