Stuff You Should Know

The name’s confusing: 'Rabot Hotel from Hotel Chocolat'. A chocolate hotel without air conditioning sounds like a physics experiment gone wrong, but the elevation and ceiling fans make it work - mostly. The 24 rooms share a shuttle to the beach, which is less "inconvenient" and more "forced digital detox." Morning yoga is complimentary, presumably to help you rationalize the chocolate consumption to come. The 20% tax feels less painful when you consider you're essentially paying for the privilege of living in a chocolate estate that predates the American Revolution. You can literally walk to Ladera for sunset drinks - a rare feat in these taxi-dependent hills.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Where chocolate is less dessert, more philosophy

Two restaurants plus room service ensure you're never far from your next cacao fix. The dining scene extends beyond the estate's borders - Ladera's sunset bar sits tantalizingly across the street, while Sugar Beach and Stonefield offer escape routes when you need a brief chocolate sabbatical. Soufriere town remains a culinary mystery we're politely advised not to solve, and close by Fond Doux resort should be avoided.
