A 37-room luxury adults-only resort perched on a hill overlooking St. Lucia’s Pitons. With no air conditioning but constant breezes, it offers open-air rooms, a pool, and daily shuttles to the beach.
Air conditioning is deemed unnecessary at this altitude, a bold stance that nature generally supports; we were not hot. The beach shuttle service suggests a "best of both worlds" approach - mountain-top views without permanent exile from the sea. With 37 rooms, it's exclusive enough to feel special but not so exclusive that you'll have to talk to yourself at breakfast. That 20% tax might sting, but the view of the Pitons provides complimentary pain relief. The one walkable dinner option is, fittingly, Hotel Chocolat - because nothing says luxury quite like being able to stumble home from a cacao-induced euphoria. Questionable design choices at this price point.
Fancy the VIP treatment? Book with us, and we’ll make it happen. Early check-in, late check-out? Sorted. Free breakfast? Of course. F+B voucher? We’ll work on it. Room upgrade? Probably.
It’s all about who you know, and with our FORA partnership, you’re always in the inner circle. We’ll confirm what perks we’ve arranged before you ever pay.

Dining with a side of divine intervention
One restaurant plays the "we have the best view anyway" card quite convincingly. The bar ensures you'll appreciate said view in progressively increasing degrees of amazement. While Hotel Chocolat across the street offers a tempting alternative (and a legitimate excuse to eat chocolate for dinner), other dining options require vehicular assistance. Skip Fond Doux resort unless you enjoy cautionary tales, and consider the 15-minute taxi to the closest town, Soufriere, an exercise in culinary Russian roulette.
