Anse Chastanet Resort

A lovely place but....they are not kidding about the steep stairs. It is work to get anywhere. The shuttle system is good but you get tired of having to call for it numerous times a day. I found the room very dark.....otherwise, great service and great beach with good snorkelling.

The access route to the hotel was in very poor condition however; the resort itself was at a beautiful setting. It is a sister hotel of Jade Mountain resort. Having visited the Jade Mountain, we are glad that we haven't spend twice as much to use the same beach. (Although Jade Mountain had much better view.) We went for an all inclusive deal and although lunch was amazing breakfast was quite average but freshly prepared and dinners were below average. The unlimited access to water sports including snorkeling was fantastic. The room was clean, attended twice a day by very polite staff. We struggled to sleep due to heat and humidity. Glazing instead of net and air conditioner would be great. Despite; I would rate this accommodation 7.5 out of 10.

The USP of this hotel are its amazing views and the tranquility of the surroundings. Only stayed 3 nights but an overall wonderful if not pricey experience! Our room/ suite was roomy and comfortable. The welcome snacks...rum and homemade banana cake a nice touch. Would have been nice to have complimentary water for the duration of our stay. Spent a lot of time at the beach...Abo is an absolute gem and I highly recommend the Tropical Burger....who knew pineapple in a burger actually works??

A wonderful 4 night stay. True traditional caribbean luxury, but not "corporate luxury" Think, this is not the Ritz Cancun/Key Biscayne/Jamaica ect., not a cookie cutter, large building that does not look like it belongs. There are unique units scattered up a hillside with a traditional colonial vibe. Our hilltop unit did not have air conditioning, and it did not need it with plenty of ceiling fans, and open to a huge covered deck with tables, couches and lounge chairs, and an epic view of the ocean and the Pitons. The scuba diving was better than I expected, and the staff and equipment was first rate. The service at the resort was perhaps the most attentive and friendly we have experienced, ever. And we are in our 50's and have traveled the world. I am a foodie, and the food was very good- not Michelin star level but it was good. There is no pool if that matters to you. My wife and I are active (we hiked Gros Piton one morning), however most of the other guests were older and shall we say, not very active. I don't know if that is norm, but this place is certainly not for singles looking for other singles, or hard partiers. It is a place to hit your zen or reconnect with your partner, and it is wonderful.

Anse Chastanet exceeded every expectation. The staff was as friendly and helpful as one could ever want. The location was perfect and the resort was clean and well kept. A very authentic St Lucian destination tucked away neatly in the hillside! Highly Recommend it!
