- Fond Doux Eco Resort
Discover this amazing resort, a 19th century eco-friendly colonial plantation nestled in the heart of Soufriere, St Lucia. The resort is situated amidst a 250 year-old working plantation, featuring an assortment of fifteen uniquely crafted cottages. Conveniently located just minutes away from the island's main attractions: The Sulphur Springs - the Caribbean's only “drive-in volcano”, The Pitons and the best diving sites on island all within the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Site. Much of the land on the estate is utilized to grow fruits, flowers and vegetables – all of which are used in the restaurants. All of the cottages have been built and designed with minimum impact in mind. No machinery was used when constructing these stunning residences – all excavation was performed with loads of elbow grease and shovels only.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
It was good the food was good and nothing was wrong
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 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
