Frommer's Review

This unusual and elegant resort is for visitors to St. Lucia's southwest coast who are looking for privacy, a sense of isolation, and greater degrees of luxury than what's available at Ladera or Anse Chastanet. It originated in the late 1990s, when an already-existing hotel, positioned on the fertile tropical plain midway between the two Pitons, was radically upgraded with an infusion of more than US$6 million in cash. Sprawling across one of the best building sites in St. Lucia, the property is so large (130 hectares/321 acres) that vans constantly circulate to shuttle guests around. Most of the resort's accommodations are in individual villas or villa suites (slightly larger, with separate sitting rooms) that dot the hillside. All the tile-floored villa rooms have four-star luxuries, including remote-controlled air-conditioning, foldout sofas, and tub/shower combinations. All villas and suites also have private plunge pools. Our only complaint is that the degree of privacy is not always enough to allow, say, nude sunbathing. In addition to the villas, 12 Sugar Mill double rooms are in two buildings; they're slightly smaller than the other rooms, but they still have private terraces. The staff here is especially friendly and helpful.

The chef's inventive cuisine is ambitious but best when it concentrates on flavorful, local ingredients.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; 4 bars; outdoor pool; par-3 executive golf course; 4 lit Laykold tennis courts; health club; squash court; spa; fitness classes; Jacuzzi; sauna; dive shop; fishing; scuba diving; snorkeling; water-skiing; children's programs; tour desk; car rental; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; night club.
