Jade Mountain Resort

My wife and I recently returned from a 7 night stay. It's true - the property is truly unique. We loved it. As others have commented about the rooms, service, and the ongoing construction, I will offer a few tips to those undeterred by the negatives as the hotel progresses towards completion. 1) Get a meal plan. It was included in the "Tropical Tranquility" package we booked. There are no off site restaurants easily accessible, and the food at all the restaurants is fine. Eating dinner at the Jade Mountain Club was very relaxed, with... more

After raving to my friends about staying at Jade Mountain I was pretty shocked when one of them remarked that it wasn't getting good reviews. I came here to see what she was talking about and couldn't believe some of the stuff that people were saying about their vacation and how it related to the same hotel I stayed at. I stayed at Jade Mountain for a week in February and had an amazing time! I've been lucky enough to travel the Caribbean over the years and have stayed at some very nice resorts in Barbados (Coral Reef Club), Antigua... more

we stayed in JB 2 for four nights at jade mountain. the ride to the hotel is a horrendous 1 hour drive. the roads curved every two seconds and we were told by our taxi driver that the roads are referred to as A Snake's Footprint. the drive alone made us nasseaus. we quickly summed up that we would not be leaving our hotel once we got there, as the towns were all filthy....homes made of cyder blocks and plywood (each with about 50 articles of clothing hanging on a line).....roadside stands with ropes hanging from trees with skinned animals... more

We stayed at Jade Mountain for ten days at the end of March, it was our honeymoon, we are in our 30s and had a fantastic time – however, the past several reports, both good and bad are accurate. Here is our take: This could be the most amazing resort in the world but the fact that the resort is not finished and that the service is not at the level one would expect for the prices (we averaged $1,500 a night) are reasons this resort does not receive an excellent rating. Here's our overview of the resort - The... more

We stayed at Jade Mountain for a week in March of 2007. There has not been one day since we came back home that we don't talk about or remember the magical moments we spent in St. Lucia. We have already spread the words and recommended Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountains to family and friends. Everything was wonderful - from the incredible accomodation at Jade Mountain (WOW) to the services and smile of every single staff member we encountered. There was only one issue: If you are vegetarian, there are not many options or variety at the... more

I could have written much the same review as the one from Iowa on 4/8/07. Having read about Anse Chastanet and, especially, Jade Mountain for many years I was very excited to book a Sun Suite Category room (the biggest and best they have) a full one-year before my arrival and 6 months prior to the opening in November 2006. My disappointment began long before I arrived as it took at least 6 different phone calls to get the reservationists to put me in the room category I had requested. Each time I called to re-confirm my reservation... more

We chose this resort based on a mention in Johansen's Guide. After checking out the website we sent a few questions to the resort via email...and never heard back, this should have been a clear indicator of the type of service we would experience. St Lucia as an island is typical of most Carribbean islands...poor residents and less than stellar infrastructure. Soufriere, like most of the island towns we encountered, is a really rough town and we stayed away from it. We rented a car(jeep recommended) and found the road to Anse... more

We rented the best room in the resort for 3 nights ($1,600 per night) and expectations were high. The room was amazing but there were serious problems that would keep us from going again. While staying in a room with a missing wall would be an unusual experience any time the climate in St Lucia in April was not conducive to an outdoor experience. It was too hot and too buggy to sleep outdoors. I came home covered in serious bites (misquitoes and/or "no see em's" or whatever) and sleeping was very difficult. The ceiling fans were on but... more

I was a bit reluctant to write this review because I did not want everybody to discover this "most" fabulous place. But sharing experiences are a good thing.... This is our third visit to Anse Chastanet/Jade Mountain resort in Soufrière St-Lucia. This year, we were lucky to experience their new resort, Jade Mountain, built higher up on the hill of Anse Chastanet with a magnificient view of the Pitons. Our room was incredible with more than 1,600 square feet of luxury. The open fourth wall overlooking the Pitons and Soufrière Bay was... more

Outstanding facility. Beautiful room. Good to great food. All activities were excellent. One caveat, understand that you must not mind walking uphill and downhill here. We didn't, and it was an amazing time. Must go diving on the reef. Be careful with the beach cocktails, very potent. The best vacation spot in the caribbean that we have been.
