We checked in after our hike so we enjoyed our welcome drinks while taking in the views then changed into our swimsuits for some pool time. The pool area is quite small but you can’t complain because every one of the 37 rooms has their own pool! Being such a small resort, you can expect to receive excellent customer service and we were always referred to as “Mr. & Mrs. Sapel.”
When our room was ready, we were escorted to the Hilltop Suite and we were in complete awe when we saw this.
Each room at Ladera is open-air which means there is no 4th wall. You’re completely immersed in nature and the unobstructed views of the Pitons. As the cherry on top, we got upgraded to a larger room with a king bed and a heated pool complete with a swing! The views were incredible and staying in a room with only three walls was a once in a lifetime experience.

There was a waterfall in our pool which was a bit on the loud side but luckily I had no problem sleeping. And FYI, they give you sleep masks and ear plugs just in case. I didn’t need either one until 5:45am hit and hellooo sun! I grabbed my mask and it was back to snoozing.
Even though our stay at Ladera was brief, it is one we’ll remember forever. If you’re looking into visiting St. Lucia, I highly recommend spending a few nights here if you can. It’s pretty quiet and secluded (no TVs) and is the perfect place to escape the real world. That being said, it’s not somewhere where I could stay a full week because I can only handle so much “quiet time” haha. In my opinion, anywhere from 1-3 nights would be the perfect visit. Seriously people, you just can’t beat these views!!
It is definitely on my list! That room is absolutely amazing!
I mean that is an amazing way to end the honeymoon! I love that each room has it's own pool! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
That room is absolutely GORGEOUS! Definitely the right way to end your trip!
The real question is how did you ever manage to leave such a gorgeous place?! I'm not sure that I would have been able to get on the plane to come back home!
Gorgeous! Love the video too!

That suite is seriously amazing! The view, the open air, the pool and swing! Looks like heaven!
Your dress…I die!! Need details! That place seriously looks like heaven but not sure me and hubs could deal with the "open air" concept. We are both SO hot natured, we would sweat to death!!! Can't stand being hot and sweaty when I'm trying to sleep #diva
I LOVE your video!! And Ladera looks absolutely amazing!! I'm not sure I'd ever want to leave!
Wow! Absolutely stunning. Looks so peaceful! After too much quiet time, I'd be itching for something to do too. What a gorgeous view from your room. The cottage was so cute. Love it!

Your video is so fun! You are seriously making me want to take a trip to St. Lucia!! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Oh my gosh too gorgeous for words!!! Looks like it is the perfect escape. I totally agree with you though, you can only do nothing for so long before you get bored and a serious case of cabin fever.

You guys did your honeymoon right!! Everything looks so amazing. And I totally agree about only a couple of days of quiet time being enough… I mean I watched The Bachelorette finale on our honeymoon, lol!
This looks absolutely amazing! I love that you got to sleep in a room with three walls. xo, Champagne&Suburbs
