Fond Doux Eco Resort
Отзывы гостей
The property is nicely tucked away in the valley, close enough to Soufriere, but also far enough away for it to feel more relaxing. Breakfast buffet every morning was amazing and changed daily. We loved out little cabin with the outdoor pool and shower. So romantic and relaxing. The view from our cabin was absolutely incredible and the staff were so friendly! Next time we're back we will absolutely stay here again.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Fond Doux! We stayed in the Avocado House and it felt very private. The location is beautiful and secluded, but also was really easy to get to Soufriere and other sites nearby as all were just a short drive away. The facilities on the property were great especially the pools and the hike to the view of the Piton. Lastly, the staff were amazing - very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay!

Fond Doux is a beautiful eco resort, situated within the rainforest. The view from our cottage was breath-taking and it's gardens have the most lush and vibrant colours making it an absolute delight to walk through it. The pool area is also stunning with its 3 pools and a colonial style gazebo. But the star of the show at Fond Doux is its staff. I must admit I've never come across such friendly, smiley, helpful and always incredibly happy people with such a contagious energy. From our lovely ladies from reception, to the staff in the restaurant (special mention to my little Disney Princess and her delicious cocktails!), all the maintenance and cleaning team within the grounds, the chap who did the chocolate tour, the lady making the delicious chocolate, the adorable gentleman by the gate and finally Rio, Coco and cinnamon. Having such lovely staff made our stay 10 times more special and it was an absolute pleasure to have met and spent a week with you all. I have no words to describe how amazing you all were!

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 :)

Front desk service was exceptional. They helped organize rides and excursions. Any issues we had were addressed right away. The Thursday evening reception was lovely! Getting to meet the owners and other guests made it feel like we were visiting with family. Selection at the breakfast buffet was nice. Loved how they had local foods - the bread and plantain were awesome, as was the ample fresh coconut water! Also loved the Chocolate experience and the on-site Nature Walk - our guide was charming and funny! The Pitons hike on-site was also great albeit challenging for those not used to climbing, worth it for the gorgeous lookout.

The staff are amazing, super friendly and helpful! The food onsite was incredible; delicious and fresh with ingredients straight from the plantation! Breakfast was included which was nice to find out. The property is stunning, especially the hike to view the petit piton. I loved falling asleep to the sound of the jungle. There are great activities onsite like the chocolate tour which was fun and I had an amazing massage, but it’s also very near to most of the popular sites. The staff were very helpful and patient to help me organize my activities and to book them for me. I would 100% stay here again and not look anywhere else!

A true eco hotel which lives by its name. Very historical and a wonderful location. Lovely villa (Papaya) with plunge pool. Very Comfortable bed and outdoor shower all amongst the rainforest. Hotel based amongst true nature with cocoa, banana, mango, orange and calabash trees. Lovely hummingbirds all around. possums were playing on the roof sat night time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely fresh meals and drinks. Amazing buildings some over 200 years old, and original cocoa museum with drying trays rolled out. Lovely nature trail walk with incredible views of Petit Piton at the top.

Great location for R&R. Not a typical resort style hotel. All rooms are cottages set on a lush plantation. Ours had a plunge pool, outdoor shower and very private. Surrounded by the forest & tree tops. Great Birdllife, flora & fauna. Absolutely fabulous. Food was also really good. Buffet breakfast with good choice. Evening meals also well presented and well cooked. Hotel has 19 cottages so maintains an intimate and friendly atmosphere. Reception happy to arrange visits etc & there is a shuttle bus to the beach. Try Paradise beach for a more relaxed carribean vibe.
