The Ladera is pure magic! We cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful property and the staff that made us feel so welcome and special during our week there. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and they went above and beyond to help us celebrate. A special thanks to Mariska, who served us for breakfast each day and many of our days by the pool. Lorne was also fantastic in her service at our meals! Rohan was so kind and helpful with getting us to and from our room. We had multiple amazing dinners at Dasheen, a beautiful setting, excellent service, and delicious food. Gardner Ray keeps the property lush with so many interested and beautiful plants and flowers. The wood carvings on property are so intricate and beautiful, all created by one of the artisans on staff. Our time in the spa was absolutely gorgeous, relaxing and special. Highly recommend the couples massage package that included lunch at the spa cafe. The spa amenities are fantastic and whole experience was perfect. We loved our room, our plunge pool was beautiful and well maintained, and the views are out of this world. The Ladera staff always called us by name, were so helpful in making reservations, recommendations for activities, and making sure we had everything we needed. They were responsive, helpful, and the epitome of hospitality. I would recommend the Ladera to anyone who is going to St. Lucia. We hope to come back some day, it was truly a trip that will never be forgotten.
