Friendly staff & clean hotel but not the best hotel for people in their 20s , 30s & 40s ; the hotel was catered to elderly retired . Location is far from everything, including the main airport (in Vieux Fort), expect to pay $80-$100 for cab services. Although an all inclusive, they make you pay for bottled water & chips & remember to bring a toothbrush & toothpaste, they’re not free . You must ask for an adapter for your electronics because depending on where you’re coming from (me it was the USA-Ny) their outlet won’t not compatible with your plug / adapters. The room which I stayed in had a lock indoor and outdoor, the indoor lock was very outdated and required your room key , locking and unlocking the door was a hassle do to a frame infront of the indoor lock. There’s no mini fridge readily available in rooms, you’d have to request one. A lot of older retired people are here & it’s a very quiet hotel with not much to do other than pool activities & dine. The hotel itself is beautiful & the people are friendly but I will not recommend this hotel to friends / coworkers & I will not stay at Bel Jou Hotel my next trip in St. Lucia.

Fantastic stay at The Ladera. A real romantic stay with an open view across the pitons. The scenery was amazing and the resort continues to add and renovate extra features for you to explore. We loved the on-site nature trail and we didn't have a bad meal for our entire stay. We were well looked after and always greeted by name. Well done Ladera and staff!

The rooms have zero soundproofing as completely open to nature and the busy, noisy road close by. Difficult to sleep at night with all the traffic and animals noises. Recommend it for a few nights, but no more than 2-3 max
