"After a few days of this place, you become family with the staff and the Lamontagnes - all of whom seem genuinely happy welcoming new friends and making and taking care of every detail. To say we really enjoyed everything about this place would be under-embellishment. If we’re ever back in St. Lucia (and I really hope we are), this is where we would stay."

"Our house was adorable and the property is amazing, full of cocoa trees, mangoes and flowers. The pool area was relaxing. Fond Doux is truly a unique place with gracious hosts and beautiful grounds.

"Everyone there is amazing! Eroline and Lyton are great hosts and their staff are incredibly friendly - it felt like we were with friends and we were sad when it came to leave. We think this is the best place on the island (and we stayed in a few!). In short, you have to go to Fond Doux!"

"We had a fantastic and relaxing 2 week stay in at the paradise that is Fond Doux. We have 2 young boys ages 6 & 4 and they absolutely loved staying here and we had a really great family holiday.
