Anse Chastanet Beach Hotel Review

Anse Chastanet is magical, if you don't mind the bone-crushing dirt road between the town and the resort and the steep climb to most rooms. But there's a helipad so you can get to the airport by helicopter if you prefer; a water taxi offers yet another alternative way into town, or you can simply soak in the gorgeous isolation; shuttle service is available between the beach and the hillside rooms, 100 steps up. Spectacular rooms, some with stunning Piton vistas beyond open fourth walls, peek through the thick rain forest that cascades down to the sea. Deluxe hillside rooms have a balcony, tile floors, madras fabrics, handmade wooden furniture, and impressive artwork. But you won't find any communication devices, technology, or interruption: it's delightfully peaceful. Diving, jungle biking through the estate's 600 acres, and ocean kayaking are premier activities; rejuvenate afterward at the Kai Belte Spa.

    Management set the tone before we even left home and I would like to tell the world that these people know what they are doing.

    Due to a horrible problem with our daughter’s wedding venue, we had to delay our visit to St. Lucia by a month. Unluckily, the promotion we had purchased expired midway between the two dates. When I contacted their reservations partner CaribIsles, Scot immediately and graciously extended the expiration to include our new dates with no problem and no penalty. Wait, it gets even better.

    The wedding went beautifully and we set out to have our “honeymoon” in one of the best snorkeling spots in the world. It took only one night in a charming, tree house setting to determine that our room did not meet our needs. Peter Jean Paul led his staff in an all-out effort to determine which available accommodations would insure that we would enjoy our stay.

    Once we offered to pay for an upgrade, our belongings were moved into an enchanting, air-conditioned suite. The staff remained immersed and hospitable throughout our week on the property. Our stay was fantastic and the minimal $100/night up charge was a small price to pay to be cool, comfortable and enjoy our vacation with happiness and domestic tranquility.

    It starts at the top in this well-run, world-class resort and their attitude and outstanding service enabled us to happily decompress and thoroughly enjoy our first visit to this beautiful property.


    There are limited dining options on the property but don't let the menu limit you. If you want something different or something prepared differently, tell them. The staff proved to us that they were willing very accomodating.
