This is a 250 year-old plantation with updated cottages spread throughout over the property. If you like a natural and lush environment, you will be VERY happy here. Proximity to the sites of St. Lucia are perfect, considering most of them are in the Soufriere area. This is just south of town in the edge of the rainforest. The staff is attentive and helpful and the restaurant is pretty good so you could eat here all you want, but there are excellent restaurants in the area if you want to get off property. They have some accommodations in the front where you would not have to do a lot of stairs, but many of the cottages are on a hilltop with a lot of stairs to access them. Be careful as you pick your cabin to make sure it is compatible withyour physical abilities. The staff is personable and they have a free shuttle to Sugar Beach every day just a few minutes away, and they provide beach towels. I would also highly recommend the chocolate inside considering there’s a fraction of the price of the nearby resort. We enjoyed it, but you’d need to be a nature lover to really appreciate it

Stayed one night after flight was delayed, having been at Sandals in the North. I'd describe the hotel as a bit quirky and rustic (in a good way). The staff were friendly and helpful and the food we had was reasonable. It's really about the environment you are in than the amenities. Our 'cabin' Ginger Lily was spacious, with a comfy bed and A/C. Cleanliness was ok and on a positive note, no mosquito bites at all. There is a large swimming pool and 3 smaller which looked fine to swim in but don't expect bright blue tiled surface. High point for me was the Piton view trail, which although quite a hike was worth the effort given the view from the viewing point. The hotel is also well located for nearby attractions e.g. sulphur springs, drive in volcano, botanic gardens and Hotel Chocolat experience (which we did and was fun). I think the hotel do their own chocolate experience as well. Personally I wouldn't choose to stay a week here, but for a night or two it makes for a change from the norm and does feel a bit like getting back to nature.

Rooms need mosquito nets or similar deterrent. They have them in room photos but not our room! Beautiful location and love that they employ so many locals. Restaurant and especially drinks so terribly over-priced. Good location for sites though. More an eco resort and tropical garden than a chocolate farm. The tour was way over priced. $50 usd for 35 mins. Whitney who did garden tour was great but chocolatier was v disengaged and poor. Also couldn’t even answer basic questions (what temp is used to heat the chocolate ingredients). Also completely skipped bean roasting and more. Decent spot but would not return unless nets added.

I really wanted to love this 250 year estate. I loved The history , the idea of the chocolate estate and supporting local . This could be a real gem and I am aware it gets great reviews that’s why I chose it I will say for a night or two may be ok I would not do longer than that . We had the cottage with a pool . It’s not the resorts fault this is a very eco type hotel in that there is no hot water in the shower for example and they say it’s an outdoor shower but it really was more a gas station shower that went wrong . The pool is like ice and I like cold water cause there is no sun and the outdoor pool by pool looked like post apocalypse with one or two beach chairs and weeds . The pictures online def have been enhanced . The mosquito net in our room is ripped and just worn out and at night the solar light would go on and off into our window every few minutes . The restaurant is not great and the drinks are expensive for what they are and the worst part was when they used Hersheys syrup in a cocoa drink instead of the cocoa from the plantation . There was actually not one recipe or drink that involved the plantation cocoa and I think They really missed the boat on that . Next door they are embracing that at the other resort . I think This could be a great place but there is a line of eco friendly and historic and just plain not well maintained. Hopefully it will improve it was just tired looking .

This is a unique resort to stay in and experience… truly eco and part of the landscape and an active cocoa plantation. Access to hiking is amazing and falling asleep to rainforest sounds- frogs, rain, etc.- is an experience you won’t get at other resorts. The cabins are private and have AC, mosquito nets for the bed (although we really didn’t need it), a decent sized fridge, coffee maker (amazing coffee!), electric kettle. The resort staff are absolutely wonderful!
One of the owners talked with us on our last day, asked us about our trip and wanted to know what we liked and what could be improved. I’m sorry I don’t recall her name, but she’s wonderful and cares for the beautiful place she and her husband have created and wants to continuously improve on it for their customers. I have never experienced anything like that and it was a level of customer service that I think other resorts should aspire to.
Here are my reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 for a few of the sections- cleaning and maintaining an eco resort in a rainforest must be an uphill challenge. Keeping that in mind, yes, our cabin needed some TLC in the bathroom (cracked sink, maybe some updating), but we had an outdoor shower! In the rainforest! I think there are some travelers for whom those details (the sink, etc) are important and then perhaps Fond Doux may not be the best choice for them.
My family loved our stay. We’re especially grateful to the resort staff and drivers for sharing their island with us!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Fond Doux Eco Resort in Soufrière, St. Lucia. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by lush tropical scenery, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the island’s natural beauty.
What truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding restaurant and bar staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home, and they always went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience.
The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was consistently top-notch. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we were treated like valued guests.
We highly recommend Fond Doux Eco Resort to anyone visiting St. Lucia and look forward to returning in the future.

Amazing mango and cocoa from the property. Rooms were great, especially with the cool dunk pool connected. The hiking trail to the Piton view is a must - great way to explore the property.
Clinton gave an incredible tour of the cocoa collection and preparation process. Staff was very attentive, food and drinks were exceptional. Will definitely return for our next visit to St. Lucia.

Excellent location. 45 minutes transfer from UVF International Airport. 15 minutes drive to Soufrière town, Gros Pitón, Sugar Beach, Sulphur Springs. 25 minutes drive to a must see Anse Chastanet beach.
Accommodation.
I stayed in a hilltop shabby chic style cottage with a plunge in pool. It’s all you need and more - a deck with two lounge chairs and a couch complimented by a stunning rainforest view. The chic is getting a tard shabby - I hope the resort will renovate at some point. I don’t recall I’ve seen the plunge in pool being cleaned. The hilltop is windy and drops foliage into it - hard to catch up with cleaning, however, if the cottage was equipped with pool skimmer net, it would be helpful.
Amenities - very well maintained.
Beautiful territory-you don’t need a tour to Diamond Botanical Gardens, you stay in one.
Customer service.
Exceptional. Special thanks to the Front Desk ladies - Feresia and Albertha - for answering my numerous questions, booking all my tours and island transportation, including airport transfer.
Practical tips.
Standard power outlet is type G, 3-pin rectangular plug. Bring adopters if you are a non-UK visitor.
Tropical rainforest comes with mosquitoes and symphony orchestra of nocturnal creatures.
Mosquitoes are supposedly active at dusk and dawn. My experience- they are active 24/7. Do not step out without repellent on. Use bed mosquito screen. Bring plug in mosquito traps and after bite ointment.
Check your end-tables for ear plugs, unles

Wait staff at breakfast stood around talking instead of serving. Housekeeping the last day just made the bed and did not clean and we got an eye roll when we told her we were leaving in 10 minutes. Music blared at 715 am from the restaurant disturbing our room right off the patio, and then in the restaurant it was so loud you couldnt talk. Booked a massage for an hour and it was only 45 min endingat 10 till the hour and not on the hour. Shower was tepid most days.tv only worked with netflix and no cable. Restaurant was just ok. Other places nearby so much better. Overpriced for the service. A great hike on the property and very close to tet paul and sugar beach so convenient. Room was spacious and very clean on arrival. Just seems staff needs major training and facilities upgraded.

Please know what kind of traveler you are before booking this place. This is for the low maintenance nature lovers. Everyone has been so kind and sweet. Whitney took me on an amazing hike/tour included with my stay and I got to see the views of petit Peyton. Breakfast was amazing but often ran out of items , natural and fresh. Though the cottages is outdated..it’s worth it again this isn’t for the high maintenance. Bed was so comfortable and I enjoyed my patio. My cottage didn’t have a TV, but it wasn’t a deal breaker for me as I had my kindle and journal. I enjoyed every meal at their restaurant. Some items were different but I tried it for the experience.

Trail at the hotel to see the Piton is wonderful and the property grounds are very nice and relaxing. The room was nice and clean and had a cool outdoor shower. However the pool area isn’t well kept, the front desk staff is semi friendly depending on who you get and the food selection isn’t great. The waitress’s are extremely nice and sweet! I don’t recommend using the hotel for a taxi service they up charge soo much we didn’t realize until we were talking to someone else and realize we were paying twice the amount for a taxi each day. I highly recommend using no limit taxi or other local taxi drivers they will come right to the reception and pick you up and the taxi will be 100% nicer and cheaper. Overall good location that’s close to all the main attractions in that area just don’t use their taxi service.

We just returned from a lovely holiday at the Fond Doux Resort in St. Lucia and it was absolutely amazing! We stayed in one of their free-standing cottages with a private plunge pool and outdoor shower. The layout was delightful and the setting was truly fantastic. There is a 45 minute hike on the property that takes you through pristine forest to a viewing platform that looks across Sugar Beach to the Petit Piton and the view at the top is stunning. The staff were lovely, the grounds were like an unspoiled botanical garden and the accommodations were delightfully unique. If you are looking for a beautiful, calm and romantic holiday in St. Lucia, the Fond Doux is perfect!

We stayed in one of the cottages with and outdoor shower. I wish I never had to leave. Absolutely amazing. Incredible property with fun trails and amazing nature all around. Friendly staff and alright food. The restaurant could be better (and not so expensive!!) and we might’ve stayed on property more then. We wished they had a hot tub for late at night after the long hikes, but that’s all that was truly missing. More trails to run would be fun, but the one they had was awesome. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to be close and accessible to Soufiere and right in the heart of all there is to do in the area… and less than an hour to the airport.

This has been the most relaxing holiday we have ever had, we left feeling really nourished by it.
All the staff are very welcoming and pleasant, we had all the help we wanted and it always came cheerfully with a smile.
Fond Doux has a lovely laid back vibe, lush gardens full of birds, lovely to sit out in the evening listening to frogs and crickets calling.
The resort is near to the two Pitons, volcanic hot springs & mud baths, botanical gardens & diamond waterfall, several beaches (a shuttle is provided to Sugar Beach). The Tet Paul Trail is a 30 minute walk up the road (up bring the operative word!) and there is also a ‘Piton View Trail’ within the grounds of Fond Doux which, although steep up and down, is well worth doing. There are two swimming pool areas on the property, both very nice. We didn’t use the sauna or gymn but did join Pilates and Aquarobics which were great.
The food was great, the hotel restaurant has a Carribean night with live music - great on both the Saturdays we were there.
Highly recommended resort if you prefer quiet, private locations in Nature rather than the larger bustling resorts on offer.

In a lovely setting! All the cottages are separate, some high and low, with 2 different pools. Cottages are rustic - so be prepared for that as my shower was outside. The room was clean and they provide a central water cooler. The breakfast was great, however i would recommend going somewhere else for dinner like Ladera or Rabot The staff were nice, but it always seemed like you were bothering them was asking them questions. Easy to get around if you have a car, but otherwise it's a little tricky. Close to the superman waterfalls and the sulphur springs, but still need a car to travel to them. Chocolate tour was underwhelming and as the staff seem so demotivated, the tour was very flat. However, they did make an effort on my birthday to decorate my bed, which was a lovely touch.

Fabulous environment. Set right in the jungle so very different to other hotels. The cottages are all slightly different, ours Bamboo, had a lovely bed and outside shower. Aircon was one of the best. On/ off, up/down. All the staff were nice, can’t name all the good ones because they didn’t all have name badges but Shernic in the restaurant and Peter in the bar. I was there 6 weeks ago and lovely ladies on reception remember me. On the negatives, you do need a car or taxi. I used Alex app which was great for taxis. Cheaper than other options. If the weather is bad not much to do at the resort. Hotel was good value for money

I was 'upgraded' to one of the cottages which was pleasant although quite a walk from the main reception. The cottage was lovely with a large bathroom, lovely warm shower and a choice of air conditioning or fan - I prefer a fan to air-con, so that was nice. I would probably have enjoyed it all more, had I been staying there more than one night.

The flora around the property is absolutely stunning. There are beautiful flowers and plants everywhere. There are well lit and concrete paths throughout the property as well as a hike up to the Gros Piton view. We were very impressed with the landscaping and ground maintenance. The cottage was okay. The patio furniture could be improved as well as the overall maintenance of the cottage. Our housekeeper Enalai was so kind and kept the cottage spotless! She made us fun towel and blanket animals everyday. The chocolate tour is worth the money and Clinton is very entertaining. Eroline and her husband are welcoming. The food could be improved, especially lunch and dinner options. We used the smaller three pools most of the time and we almost always had them to ourselves.

The property is beautiful, I loved the pools, and the nature trail had an incredible view. It was very peaceful and calm, with lots of options for tours and activities. The included breakfast was also very good.

The cabin was nice but a little outdated, and we were told there were no room upgrades available. The front desk staff wasn’t very friendly, but everyone else was great. The location is close to many activities. However, the roads aren’t walkable and the hotel taxis were ridiculously expensive... you’re better off finding a local taxi driver.

The cabins are very nice. A bit rustic but clean, quiet and comfortable. The rain forest surroundings are beautiful. There is lush vegetation and pretty flowers.
There are a few pools on the property. We didn't go in them very much because the water was quite cold. I wish they had a hot tub on site.
The dining was fine. Breakfast is buffet style and is included in the price of the room. Lunch and dinner are available too as well as drinks from the bar. The prices for meals were reasonable and the food is good. Drinks are a bit expensive.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
We thought the tours were expensive for what you got. Unfortunately, in St. Lucia it seems like there's a fee every place you visit and a requirement that you have a guide accompany you.
Overall, this is a nice resort if you're looking for peace and quiet in a natural setting.

Overall our stay at this resort was lackluster - for a few reasons.
We stayed two nights for $500/night and I've stayed at a lot of 3-star hotels; did not measure up whatsoever.

1. The buildings felt very outdated; the decor was fine but the fixtures/doors/walls/tiles were old and somewhat dirty.
2. We had no hot water in our room, it was lukewarm. I asked maintenance to take a look at it and they said that this was most likely the warmest it would get. They said they would check back in the AM (they didn't), and later when I mentioned it again we were moved to another room which also had no hot water. I know the staff tried to help so I don't blame them but no hot water at 500/night felt absurd.
3. The accent pillows were yellowed and yucky. Our regular pillows, bedding in the 2nd room smelled old and musty, like that smell when you leave wet clothes in the washer for too long. At that point I didn't want to be \"those annoying people\" so we said nothing about the no hot water/bedding.

Other things:
- Service at the restaurant was very slow. Food was excellent, my bf loved his seafood pasta.
- Property was nice; you truly were in the middle of the jungle. Lots and lots of steps so not great for those with limited mobility.
- Location was awesome: very close to Ladera (went there for dinner), the drive-in/walk-up volcano, Tet Paul nature hike and the chocolate experience.
- Wifi was surprisingly strong, although unsecured network so our laptops struggled to connect

Depends on what you’re looking for. For the money, this was a good deal. Friendly staff, privately owned with access to friendly owners. This is not a luxury resort. Some might describe as charming though I prefer to describe it as rough around the edges. “Eco” resort covers a multitude of sins though none too big. Most bigger problems were quickly and effectively addressed by management. Bring ear plugs unless you don’t mind being awaken by crowing roosters anywhere from 2:30 AM on. Again, charming to some. Nice restaurant. Daily service to the rooms. Be sure to ask where on the property your cottage is. We were in Tree House and should have guessed it was at the top of the hill with many steps. Good thing were fit ☺️.

The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Rooms are clean.

We stayed in the Coconut cottage which was very private with a small pool which was great for cooling off when we didn’t want to walk down all the stairs to go to one of the pools onsite. At night, insects and birds are very loud and go from dusk to dawn! Bring earplugs for a better nights sleep.

If you have limited mobility get a cottage that isn’t hillside (it’s a steep climb to the hillside cottages).

Loved how this place felt like a private getaway and was not touristy. There’s no pressure to do “add ons” at the resort. Laid back atmosphere. All the pools were great and oftentimes we had the pool to ourselves.

If you love nature and enjoy a laid back atmosphere, this is the place for you!

For a 3 star resort, this exceeded expectations with amenities, rooms, and the grounds.

Food menu was repetitive for dinner. Breakfast had more variety.

Staff in restaurant were very good and friendly. Helpful with a room available for a late checkout. Food was rather limited and drinks were very expensive . It’s remote so a car would be a good idea because taxis were really expensive. $ 30 to go 2 miles to a nearby hotel restaurant

Lovely resort that feels like it is in the middle of the jungle. Great hike to see the Piton starts right behind the dining are. I love it that the owners preserve local historical buildings on top of a commitment to preserving the environment. All cottages are therefore different and a little piece of history. Staff is very helpful. Would recommend hiring a car for explorations beyond the resort and sugar beach.

This place is a scam, as is most of the island of St Lucia. It's really heartbreaking to write that because it is such a gorgeous place and is clearly being railroaded by white American capitalism, but the entire time we were there we were being absolutely HUSTLED for cash and it was not restful at all.

The staff at Fond Doux could not have cared less that we existed. The shuttle driver made a pit stop on the way from the airport (not a free shuttle like they imply in their advertising, it costs $80 one way) and left my friend and I alone in a running car with no explanation. The grounds are poorly kept, run down and dangerous. The staff disappears after 10pm and there is no one around at all in case of an emergency. I asked if there was a map of the grounds available and was told to \"just walk, it's a circle\". It is not easy to access ANYTHING from this resort, you have to pay a shuttle driver to take you off the grounds or wait for their extremely limited tour/beach schedules.

I don't know who they're paying to write these rave reviews but that didn't come close to our experience. It was so unpleasant we went to a different hotel (better experience, still got scammed left and right) after one night. Spend your money literally anywhere else.

Lovely staff, lovely room, private and secluded. Beautiful grounds. Bathrooms need a bit of work - felt a little run down and shower didn’t often with hot water (apparently to do with when it rains). Pool area could also do with some better upkeep, pumps on etc, better cleaned. Overall we had a nice time but it felt quite rustic and in need of a bit of a facelift in places.

Absolutely loved my stay here! The staff was friendly and I stayed in guava, which had its own private pool and an amazing view. It was very quiet unless you consider the wildlife loud lol... the rooster definitely woke me up haha however it was quite pleasant knowing you are away from civilization and immersed in nature.
Out of all of the resorts.I stayed at in the past week.I rate this one the best...

The room was in good condition, just very outdated. The front desk staff were funny acting sometimes, had attitudes when you asked them certain questions, and had no suggestions or tips for anything. However, the housekeeping lady was very nice and a dear heart.
The pool was not properly cared for in my opinion. The deep tissue massage I received was not that great, and could have been better.

The shower did not work, only the tap below it and the water did not drain. Beautiful view, but shabby chic - definitely needed work. High price for the room with terrible breakfast including the service. Basically everything was empty over half an hour. Could be much better - using Eco as an excuse for poor standards. Much better hotels elsewhere on the island with top notch facilities and service.
