Spectacular property and amazing staff. You could not ask for a more perfect location if you are interested in the beach, snorkeling, great food, awesome accommodations and staff, and easy access to excursions and hiking. They have already thought of everything you need, just show up ready to have fun and/or relax. I only wish we’d stayed longer.

My room was perfect and was set up with desks just the way I requested. Food was outstanding and privacy was perfect. I love the "huts" on the beach. Its a place to enjoy beautiful St. Lucia and get away from the crowds. Everyone makes you feel so welcome. I'll be back!

From the minute we arrived at St Lucia airport to the moment we left the resort, we were treated exceptionally well by the staff from the hotel and they ensured we had a magnificent holiday . Throughout the holiday nothing was too much trouble for them and they went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. The resort itself is beautiful and words don’t really do it justice. The food on offer is amazing, with ample choices and enough changes to the menu to keep things fresh. The hotel prides itself on sustainability and has its own garden which produces a lot of the food it uses and even brews it's own beer. I can strongly recommend a visit to the garden and brewery as it’s very impressive to see. Other recommendations are the burgers , available on the 2nd beach , and the Scuba facilities which are second to none. What a great place to grab a bit of winter sun and we’ll certainly be returning. Read less

The best resort my family and I have ever been to! We highly recommend Anse Chastanet. The staff are so lovely, the food is wonderful, and the accommodations are beautiful. We loved our room, and the view from our patio was simply stunning. Lots of fun activities. The resort is small enough that there are no crowds anywhere.

This is just an amazing hotel. Everything is either flabbergasting or a photo opportunity. Some highlights: 1. The view over the pitons. What a view. 2.

This is just an amazing hotel. Everything is either flabbergasting or a photo opportunity. Some highlights: 1. The view over the pitons. What a view. 2. The breakfast space. 100 feet view vertically down in lush green. Nature feels extremely close here. If fear of heights, keep away from the edge. 3. The beach. Caribbean as the brochure and friendly bar from the same brochure. 4. The next door old plantation. This is owned by the hotel, but over the hill (a footpath leads along the sea so no hike needed). Spooky at times, the intense green and delapidated plantation houses, but nonetheless worth it. The beach next to it is also pristine and has a little restaurant. 5. Did i mention the amazing wooden architecture? Still wondering how these cabins are moved in between the rocks and seemingly on top of each other. Heard owner / designer Nick passed away months after the visit, also the designer of next door Jade Mountain fame, what a shame of a true pioneer. Strength to the family and the hospitable team.
