The accomodation was excellent, really enjoyed the outdoor shower . The flora and fauna around the plantation is beautiful. Lovely relaxing place to stay. If you're looking for something a world away from the hotel resorts this is the place to go.

The staff, the location of the hotel, the food, the amenities and how secluded the room/cottage I chose was.

Fabulous resort. Extremely helpful staff, well appointed large bungalow in superb grounds and vegetation

The staff is extremely helpful and nice, the cottage is relatively isolated and very well equipped, which is perfect for a relaxing holiday, food is simple and tasty

The first impression was "we already want to return here again". The place exceeded my expectations in many ways. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The was a welcome drink and farewell gift (very tasty) which was unexpected and touching. I enjoyed every single bit of it. You can pickup any fruits from the trees around you and eat it. Mango, sour oranges, cocoa pods, grapefruits, coconuts, and many more. Breakfast is amazing, you can drink fresh coconut water every morning. The location has a great trail path in the forest so you can have an amazing view on the Petit Piton. There's a chocolate making facilities there, and you can actually cook your own chocolate bar.

Amazing location, stunning surroundings, great restaurant and very welcoming staff.

Location was excellent. A short drive from the town to pick up any required supplies. The cottage was spacious and clean, easily enough room for two to relax. Each cottage is very private, not overlooked at all. Breakfast was really nice as was lunch and dinner. We had our own car but we did use the free shuttle to Sugar Beach. It is a short drive to both Sugar Beach and Anse Chastanet where can get good snorkeling right off the beach. I also walked to the Tet Paul trail head from the resort ~one mile. The reception staff were very friendly and could help organise anything for you and answer any questions (including logistics, driving directions and organising taxis). We stayed for a week and would highly recommend this to anyone and should we find ourselves in St Lucia again, will look to stay here. Thanks!

A beautiful place to stay in the middle of a plantation. We loved spending time on the verandah with nobody else around us, and my daughter loved watching the lizards. The short walk to our cottage made us feel like we were somewhere remote, yet it didn't take long to get to Soufriere and its surroundings. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. We booked a few excursions/tours through the hotel and found them to be very cost-effective and high quality. There was plenty of choice of food for breakfast, and the service was exceptional.

We had a great experience at Fond Doux, we wanted a hotel where we could see more of the real St Lucia and it was exactly that. The staff were lovely and so friendly , we had one of the villas which was really large over 2 floors with our own garden in a great spot. The grounds were amazing and perfect our kids to explore, pool was small but perfect for a dip and was never too busy . We used the shuttle bus and it took us to different beaches which was great. The hotel could always organise a taxi for various trips out and the driver even helped us organise a boat back from one of the beaches. Food was much more typically St Lucian and delicious and we really enjoyed a guided tour of the plantation , learning so much about the flora. Would definitely recommend for an authentic stay in the rainforest close to many things to do and the amazing noises of the rainforest.

beautiful setting, privacy, very comfortable beds. nice bathrooms. very much in keeping with a peaceful retreat.
