We stayed at Fond Doux for the first part of our honeymoon, and I genuinely cannot recommend it enough! The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by lush tropical gardens. We stayed in Cinnamon Cottage and loved the privacy. Between the gorgeous grounds, refreshing pools, and wildlife around the property, it truly felt like our own little jungle oasis!

One of the highlights was the historical tour with Whitney, which I highly recommend! We learned so much about the history of the estate and surrounding area, and the chocolate-making experience was equally wonderful. These activities gave us a much deeper appreciation for the property and its ecosystem.

The food was fantastic (we're still talking about the risotto from our first night!), and the breakfast staff greeted us every morning with such warmth and energy. Everyone we encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful. We even made friends with the restaurant cats!

What really surprised us was the value. For the quality of the accommodations, food, amenities, and experiences, we honestly couldn't believe how affordable Fond Doux was. The value is truly unmatched!

One small tip: you're surrounded by nature, so definitely bring bug spray! Otherwise, we couldn't have asked for a better place to begin our honeymoon. We'd absolutely love to return!

I really enjoyed staying here, the location was great (I purposely stayed in this location as my main goal was to snorkel). The free breakfast was great, the staff were amazing, helped me coordinate multiple things. The prices at the bar and restaraunt are high (high compared to the north side of the island, but low/average for this part of the island), the food I ordered outside of breakfast was just OK. The pools were nice, I got a plunge pool which was great and larger than others I have seen at other hotels.  The security is great, they keep track of all guests leaving and my cab driver told me- if you don't come back they call the police. I drove but also needed a taxi for certain things (such as Anse Castanet ) because roads were sketchy. The reason I did not give this 5 stars, is the room quality could have been better, the room was full of bugs (it's in a rainforest, I knew the property had bugs, but the room being full of bugs was preventable with a little maintenance on the room). By the time my 5 days were up, I was really looking forward to leaving as I had a layer of bugs over all my belongings and felt really gross due to that. I woke up one morning and my makeup bag was covered in bugs, all my brushes had bugs, once I got to my new hotel up north at Gros Islet I washed all my brushes...

We enjoyed our stay. Staff were amazing, room were clean. Our only issue were cat in the ceiling causing a nightly ruckus. The breakfast menu needs more options. We will be return and look forward to Peter, Armani, Leander, Clinton, Albertha, the housekeepers and security. You all added that extra warmth to our stay. Thanks for everything.

Le tour du chocolat est sympa mais beaucoup trop cher pour 1h de ballade et de confection rapide de chocolat (50 US dollars par adulte). L'hôtel est dans un cadre magnifique avec des cottages indépendants mais un peu vieillot. Personnel très sympa

Fond Doux is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. It felt like you were visiting a family not staying in a resort. We most defiantly will return.

Just returned from a wonderful weekend break staying at Hilltop Guava.
Talk about hitting the reset button at Fond Doux.
The setting is wonderful especially if nature is your thing.
You are submerged in a tropical Rainforest with an abundance of beauty.
There are lovely walks and trails and so many places closeby to visit.
The staff are all so lovely.
Mèsi to Sylvanna & Peter for taking the time to teach me some Creole.
And it's great to see local inclusion and promotion unlike most other high end resorts on the island.
Mèsi also to our charming Owner/Host, Lyton, for recounting many stories reminiscing about past traditions.
Nothing about this place & experience feels contrived.
Loved it!

Such a great location, spacious, comfortable accommodations with AC in bedrooms, lovely balcony!

☺The food was so good, fresh, homemade, amazing bakes, fish, Baron’s hot sauce so which we even brought home, fresh fruit, well done.  Best English muffins I’ve ever had-I don’t eat them in the states.  Room service was excellent as I wasn’t feeling well enough to go to dinner one night.  A big thank you/shout out to Kiera at the front desk for getting us breakfast super early-6:30am, when we planned to go hiking up Gros Piton.  She was friendly, helpful, and accommodating.  Sugar beach is a 7 min drive.

☹Better feedback/details about the hiking trails there.  Our water stopped working in the middle of the night which was strange.  We called and it was addressed but we didn’t know why.

On Saturday July 25th I celebrated my first  anniversary. From the moment we stepped into the dining room, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth and promptly escorted us to a well decorated table. Our server guided us through the menu with expert care, leading to a delicious appetizer followed by a perfectly cooked main course and a decadent dessert that tasted remarkably fresh. Throughout the meal, the table was kept tidy and glasses were refilled without us ever having to ask, culminating in a warm thank-you and coat retrieval from the host as we departed into the evening. Time was well spent and we were comfortable and enjoyed every bit of it.

My husband and I are spending a week On the island staying at various different hotels on the island. On Fridays, they have the street parties on the northern side of the island which is an hour away from Sofriere. We stayed two nights in another hotel up north. Now back in Sofriere, being at this hotel, we realized we like this hotel better as far as quality. The people were sweet and even though the room we purchased was a room to come with no air, it ended up coming with air. Which was great as alot of hotels do not and it gets quite hot at night. The place was clean, bug free, and near the pools and restaurant. I’ll get the name of the place… we stayed at the “Begonia”. i’d recommend staying there if proximity matters and you don’t care about not having a mountain view.  No stairs to climb up, easy bar and restaurant access and the first room by reception in case you need to run back and forth. I think we bought ours on Expedia and for a total of two days it costed us 400 total. I would definitely come back here as it is local owned, and nearby almost every excursion you wanna do (MJ ATV definitely a must try -ask for Courtney, the waterfalls, mudbaths, and botanical gardens) the hotel is also like a minute away from the beaches as well(sugar beach and horseback riding on the other beaches as well). If you stay at Hotel Fondue they have this and you can see the pitons Right outside today we’re gonna go to the chocolate making tour And tomorrow we’re gonna go to the ATVs and do a little sightseeing of the Pitons and mud baths….Cannot wait!

We came here end of June for our honeymoon from the UK. Where to start, really friendly staff and the cute little houses are situated within the cocoa plantation which is also a tropical fruit forest!!! It was paradise on earth, ripe mangoes, green coconuts, oranges, limes, bananas, breadfruit, star fruit all dripping from the trees. Why more people don't come in the "wet" season I don't know. It's still 30 degrees. Only a few short downpours and so much ripe fruit! All the food at the restaurant is grown on site and organic. Everyone was lovely, very healthy rum measures! Just a joy from start to finish. Can't recommend this place enough...and it's locally owned so the money is going back into the island instead of to the chain owned places like sugar beach etc. yes this is a little more rustic but don't pass this one by, an absolute gem. Will be a while before we can afford to visit st Lucia again but maybe see you for our ten year anniversary! What a dream X

Fabulous stay.
Fabulous resort on a plantation. The setting is beautiful. There is a nature trail on site that leads to a view of one of the pitons. The food is delicious and comes from the site. We did the cocoa tour which was informative and personal. The rooms are unique. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this resort.

First and lasting impressions -charming, super welcoming and attentive.
First view colonial architecture-a bit old but totally charming. We are in the Tangerine room it is beautiful. A hammock on the patio, a choir of singing critters serenading outside and the Lush plants trees flowers and greenery was dreamlike . Bathroom was alright- not lush but fine. They provided hand soap and shower gel shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Seemed to be generic— if you like luxurious BR amenities bring your own. Towels were well sized… I am a towel freak in hotels. Our cottage had completely screened in windows which alleviated my mosquito concerns. The bedroom is totally air conditioned with mini split and a ceiling fan as well. No TV in the room really no need! Included breakfast was fine. We had dinner at the hotel and there was a good selection of choices. Food was fine! We had a GREAT driver who works for the hotel named GARIT (sp?) safe engaging and charming! Took the Coco tour two parts.. first history and process and then participating in making a chocolate bar … needs to be in freezer to set in the form. essentially, the people who make the chocolate bar get the previous guest’s chocolate to make sure it is cold and set, and so forth and so on. This is an ECO lodge in the rain forest not an inclusive luxuryloaded Fancy stressful show off place. It was earthy and really amazing with necessary creature comforts. Enjoy! And Thank you to the Lodge for a lovely stay

Elegant vintage-style eco luxury in the heart of the rainforest: no resort could ever match this.

☺Rooms/ cabins feel very secluded & private, beautifully furnished, surrounded by plants and wildlife. Restaurant is great, breakfast is lovely. Much better & more local style food than we found at any other hotel/resort restaurants we ended up eating at. The pool area is delightful, really well laid out for privacy so different groups can have their own areas. It would be a perfect setting for a pool party! The location is perfect for all the nearby forest/ volcano based activities and for getting to Soufrière and nearby beaches. I would definitely advise hiring a car so you have more freedom to explore independently; things look close together on a map but it’s very hilly and obviously very hot so walking anywhere takes much longer than predicted.
This is not really a resort, it doesn’t feel like a resort, the clientele were not “resort types”… which is a big positive in our book! It is eco-luxury accommodation ie. as luxurious as one can reasonably expect whilst staying in the middle of gorgeous rainforest and trying to minimise impact on that environment.

☹I would advise bringing your own mosquito net and make sure it’s the right size for the bed (we were a bit squeezed in under ours). The nets provided on the four poster look very pretty & romantic but they don’t fully close so they don’t keep mozzies out.
Also, not a negative but useful to know: the frogs are LOUD at night and they don’t stop til sunrise so we were very glad of our earplugs (we’ve slept in other jungles before but never experienced a wildlife chorus quite like this one!)

A unique setting with authentic historical cottages set in the rainforest.
☺ Location in the rainforest is magical but rather remote. The historic cottages provide simple, spacious and clean accommodation with outdoor showers. Staff are friendly and helpful.  Meals are adequate but not fancy.  Two swimming pools are very pleasant. Interesting paths and trails through the beautiful rainforest.

☹ The old cottages and bungalows set in a humid rainforest require more maintenance than was evident, and the furniture lacked the character and charm of the buildings.

We stayed for a few days in March. We had the most peaceful and relaxing time. The place is set up in a way that promotes quiet relaxation, from beautiful nature around to delightful grounds and low key restaurant atmosphere. Service is great. Taxi service is timeline and reliable. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Loved it.
