Ladera is quaint and luxurious in a non-pretentious way. YOU WILL LOVE IT: But, if you consider yourself high maintenance, demanding, or squeamish about birds, salamanders and tiny (but noisy) frogs, then Ladera may not be for you. My husband and I found the resort to be outstanding but the luxuries here are different than those of an urban 5... more

This review is way overdue, as we went on our honeymoon to St. Lucia in May, but even several months later we're still raving about what an amazing trip we had! Ladera is the main reason we decided to honeymoon in St. Lucia-I had read an article about the hotel in a magazine right before we got engaged and we... more

for $1000.00 per day (all inclusive), Id expect over the top, but that is not the case. Staff, food, grounds, and view all A+, and really about the best I've ever experienced. Bugs and sleeping at nite was a bit much. The tree frogs (some who come visiting and must number in the 100's) croak all nite long. We really... more

Ladera is an amazing place to go for your honeymoon! My husband and I stayed 5 nights at Ladera during our honeymoon in St. Lucia. We were one of about seven couples to get married in our area during the summer, and every other couple stayed at the normal "Sandals" type of resort and had a pretty good time -... more

I apologize in advance for this long story but I am writing it in the hope that it will save another couple from a horrible vacation, READ ON! Ok so.. me and my husband went to Ladera for the first five days of our 10 day honeymoon. We stayed in there most recently renovated Hilltop Dream Suite that upon arrival... more

Don’t expect a good nights sleep or any semblance of privacy in the Ladera. Our suspicions were aroused when we were being shown around our room and our Ear-plugs were pointed out (plus eye-blind and insect killer spray!). The noise from the rain forest outside the “missing” wall was loud enough but each adjacent room also has a missing wall... more

We cannot say enough positive things about this resort. Unfortunately we only stayed in it for 3 nights and should have stayed there the whole 8 days. We booked a one bedroom villa suite and were upgraded to a huge 3 bedroom villa: “Room C.” We explored the resort and cannot imagine that any of the rooms are not fantastic.... more

My wife and I stayed at Ladera for the first two nights of our honeymoon before moving on to Sandals in Castries. It rained the first day, but it really didn't matter considering the view and the staff. We have never met nicer, more authentically caring people in our lives! The view from our suite was spectacular, although we would... more

I will start with a caveat that we stayed one night at Anse Chastanet and two nights at Jade Mountain (see separate reviews of each stay) immediately before we arrived at Ladera, so it's certainly a tough comparison. However, we felt that there were several things that were not up to par for a hotel that is as highly rated... more
