フォンド ドゥ エコ リゾート(Fond Doux Eco Resort)

This is a unique property that needs updating and management to properly run it. Location is good proximity to attractions, rooms and facility needs attention. Restaurant served same food and better options with a view are only minutes away. Staff are great but needs management to ratchet things up. This is a 3-star facility that could easily get to 4 stars with some effort.

Liked the private cottages, personalized experience. Some maintenance and updates to cottages would be nice. Shower didn't always have hot water.

The grounds are filled with native plants and trees all of which are colourful and huge because it is so tropical. The food is good and reflective of St. Lucia’s culture. The resort is located in Soufriere but is at a bit of a distance from the town and area attractions. Because of the narrowness and twistiness of roads it is not safe to walk to nearby activities so a taxi must be taken. The staff is very good to arrange rides and provide advice, but just be aware that most attractions are not walkable.

The staff were really amazing and the rooms we very well equipped and clean. Will definitely stay again

Wasn't a good experience. The room had windows that couldn't be closed, and the floorboards had openings through which bugs could easily come in. This also prevented the AC from working effectively. We were bitten by bugs all night. The bathroom sink was made of a porous material that harbors germs. It was disgusting to use. The room came with a private spa, which had such dirty water, that we couldn't even bear to look at it, forget use it. Breakfast was mediocre, and the service was lacking. If this was offered at a really cheap nightly rate, I'd still be unhappy, but we actually paid a pretty penny for it. Unbelievable!

Breathtaking views and seclusion, for the prices I wish it was all inclusive and had activities on the resort for guests to mingle/enjoy. Staff was impeccable , knowledgeable and friendly. Wish their were better priced taxis most were $70 from that area ; overall yummy food and a pleasant , authentic experience

We had the best time walking the grounds of this property! Lots of beautiful plants and fruit trees! The staff was so nice too! I loved hanging out in our cottages pool, eating breakfast and watching the lizards and birds and Sugar beach (daily shuttle) was a magical spot right in between the big and little pitons. I would stay here again! Just some notes... A few things different than the pictures on here. No hammocks on the patios and the cottage was not as private as the images had me believe. We were in a cottage with a pool and AC. Ours overlooked the pool area which luckily was not heavily used. Overall the property was beautiful but a bit older than the images on here. Plan for bugs! I was glad that I had packed bugspray because man were there mosquitoes! We did go during rainy season so Im not sure if its better at other times of the year. Also, in order to see the piton it required a 30 to 45 min hike. You cant see it just looking up from the property. We did the hike 2 times and it was well worth it! Make sure to ask someone before you go! There are two paths and unknowingly we picked the harder one the first time we hiked it. Big boulders and steep steps made for some laughter and slightly sore legs the next day! 😅

Great, peaceful place to chill and relax. We stayed in cottage with swimming pool - views from the terrace is amazing. We liked historic tour and chocolate making experience. This place underrated - pictures does not do the justice. All in one - above expected

The cottages are gorgeous! We stayed in ‘Lemon’. They are all very private. Pool area lovely. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Offered a free shuttle to Sugar Beach where we went snorkelling. Loads of things to do in the area, I think having a car like we did would make sightseeing easy. The hike on the property is well worth doing (about 45 min). We had 3 nights in Rodney Bay and then 3 days here which worked well to see the 2 sides of the island. Breakfast was ok, not a large choice but enough. Dinner wasn’t great, limited choice and quite pricey for the quality. We are there once and then went elsewhere. I think the food is the only thing that lets the resort down a bit, otherwise it’s amazing. Bar tender Randy is fun and makes great cocktails!
