Fond Doux Eco Resort

We spent a fantastic week at this resort to relax and recharge. A lush and tranquil place, exactly as we imagined it to be before our travel to Saint Lucia. Our room was very spacious and clean, with a modern bathroom and a small kitchenette. We enjoyed a complimentary breakfast every morning, and ate lunch and/or dinner on a daily basis, all offered a la carte (English, American, Caribbean) or as a buffet with good food choices, complemented with local juices and desserts. The beautiful rustic restaurant is surrounded by lots of greenery complete with mango trees, cocoa, banana, palms, etc, and visited by a variety of birds, including hummingbirds. We spent most of our time on the property, taking advantage of the large and three small pools, reading in the shade under the palapa, which also offers a small library of books. We hiked the trail loop (although somewhat steep, it should take less than an hour), with an amazing view of the Petit Piton. We also took the daily complimentary shuttle, a 15-min ride to Sugar Beach, with a nice beach and restaurants. Our special thanks to the friendly and helpful staff at the reception, room service, the waiters, cooks, drivers, chocolate tour staff, gift shop, and maintenance!

Beautiful resort in the middle of a cocoa plantation that does a good job at preserving the historical look & feel of the place. Spacious and comfortable cottage (ours was called Cocoa Tree) and good breakfast. Great value for money if you visit in the off-season and can get a large enough discount.

Location was great, we loved the pool area and the cottage was lovely. Really enjoyed it. Staff were helpful and we loved being amongst the rainforest. Really enjoyed our stay and I’d recommend to others.

The meals were so delicious. The staff were great as well, very pleasant and welcoming. I specifically want to acknowledge Kershella, Clenton, Macy, Leandra, Suella, the lady who helped us create those delicious chocolate bars and the other restaurant staff. Thanks for helping to create such a relaxing getaway. I wish I was returning this weekend 😊 The fruits! So many fruits in abundance! That was also a highlight. Walking through the property felt like we were in the garden of eden!

Fond Doux is a really special place and you feel as though you're a part of St. Lucian history. It has a mature fruit and cocoa trees and old-style buildings. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the cocoa tea (try it!!) It is a great value, especially with the shuttle to the beach, which we used everyday. I would recommend renting a car or looking on google for a taxi if you want to explore anything around Fond Doux. You can walk to the Petite Paul Nature Trail/Hike though, which I recommend for more views of the Pitons. One really special thing is that the restaurants use fruit from their own garden. I would suggest Fond Doux advertise this more and even put on the dinner menu what comes from the garden -- this is really special and really makes it feel like you're staying at an eco-resort :)
