The sublime absence of TVs, radios or telephones in the guest rooms, coupled with open-air views of the twin Piton peaks, makes Ladera one of the most unique Caribbean getaways. The hotel is perched on a ridge at 1,100 feet above sea level. All suites are intentionally designed without a fourth wall affording guests with unobstructed panoramas of the sea, the dramatic Pitons and the lush, tropical rainforest. With rooms ranging from a one-bedroom suite to a two-bedroom “Dream Villa” complete with a private heated pool, accommodations are available for families of all sizes. Ladera continues to be one of the most sought after resorts in the Caribbean, thanks in part to astounding accolades and awards including its nearly perfect rating of 91.34 in Travel + Leisure’s “2008 Worlds Best Awards” and its 87.2 rating in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2008 Gold List. Earlier this year, Ladera added six new hilltop dream suites to its collection, featuring a private heated pool with a waterfall, open air living room, and open bedroom featuring a four poster king size bed.
