Dugard Holidays from £836

Our stay at Ladera was truly something special. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, cared for, and completely immersed in the beauty of St. Lucia. The views of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea are simply breathtaking—something pictures can never fully capture. We chose Ladera to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and it could not have been a more perfect place for such a meaningful milestone. There is something incredibly peaceful and romantic about waking up surrounded by nature, enjoying the incredible views, and watching the most beautiful sunsets together. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, always making us feel special. The atmosphere is intimate, peaceful, and luxurious without feeling overly formal. Every detail seemed designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and appreciate where you are. Most importantly, Ladera gave us memories we will carry with us forever. ❤️ Celebrating 25 years of marriage in one of the most romantic places on earth was truly a blessing. Thank you, Ladera, for being part of such a beautiful chapter in our lives. We will never forget our time in St. Lucia and hope to return one day. 🇱🇨❤️ ✨ Absolutely magical. Highly recommended! ✨

The room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. Complementary filtered water, coffee and tea were plentiful. Ms Tessa who was assigned to our room did a great job and responded quickly to our requests. (Ms Tessa - thank you for not removing our personal pillow slips - as was done at other resorts). The beach was always clean and we had a wonderful time there taking numerous family pictures. The guard saw we were having a good time and even left the gate open for us for a few extra minutes. All the staff we encountered -in the dining room, at the front desk and all around the grounds were always courteous, always greeted us and inquired as to how our day was going and if we needed any extra assistance. We even had one of the waitresses in the dining room ask us to critique and give her tips on on customer service skills. A few suggestions for improvement: 1. Front desk registration - most of the information could be collected upfront - I had many emails before my arrival and that registration data could have been collected there. 2. Rooms - (a)my room had no bath towel racks or hooks, (b) for 2 adults we were only given one wash cloth - even when the rooms were refreshed it was still only one wash cloth (c) there was no shower curtain or door so every shower resulted in a wet floor. 3. The cocktails that I sampled were really "light" on the alcohol. This did not deflect from us having a WONDERFUL vacation and we would not hesitate to return.
