Fond Doux Eco Resort | Hotel in Jalousle

“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.”

“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.”

“Such an amazing property!! Loved! ”

“Absolutely fantastic! ”

“The property was excellent. We loved our room, the staff, the food/drink, and the amenities. It was beautiful!”

“Lovely grounds and cottage. Breakfast was great. Dinners needed more variety if you plan to stay on the property for a full week. Any activities you plan require transportation. Overall a wonderful spot and people!”

“It’s in the wilderness, no tv and no hairdryer. Tried to get a coffee and they just ignored us.”
