Anse Chastanet Resort

George Fink

My wife and I stayed here for seven days after sailing St. Vincent & the Grenadines. Anse Chastanet was wonderful! The staff are amazing. From the moment you arrive, throughout many moments during your stay, to the moment you depart, you are made to feel appreciated. The facilities are great. We did a six dive package and The Pinnacles dive site was my favorite. So much life and coral + sea turtles! We got a couples massage at the resort day spa. Best massage either of us ever had! Loved it so much, we went back again two days later. The staff are really special. Helpful, attentive, and friendly. My only concern was the food quality was and variety was just meh. As other reviewers mentioned, it’s not easy to pop into town so plan accordingly. Overall, great diving, wonderful spa, top notch staff, comfy rooms, and I can’t wait to go back! Surprisingly good WiFi and cell service too.

the location is amazing and you are well prepared by a one in a life time driving experience :-) the room was exactly as described on the web site. the staff is very welcoming and people are super nice. food is excellent. we took the half board option but I would recommend the all inclusive one. Our son received a lot of attention and sugar cane :-) there are tons of activities around. we really loved our week there. super relaxing. kayaking, SUP, sailing, snorkeling are all available on the beach for free. and beach people are really nice and helpful. Scuba was great too and I will enter a specific review for scuba. there were a couple small glitches that make me say that service is sometimes below (my) expectations. I will happily report these to Andrew, the new hotel director who was extremely courteous too. a place we would love to go back to.

This hotel resort in St. Lucia feels genuinely unique and never once like a cookie-cutter stay. It’s a thoughtful mix of nature, relaxation, and adventure. Beach time, spa visits, jungle hikes, mountain biking, snorkeling, and scuba all fit together naturally. 🟢 The rooms The rooms are spacious and truly feel like a treehouse tucked into the mountainside. Jade Mountain is the sister property of Anse Chastanet and beautiful if your budget allows, but we loved how connected to nature our room at Anse Chastanet felt. The windows have bug screens and adjustable louvered slats, so they’re essentially open all the time. At night we heard tree frogs, wind through the trees, and the ocean in the distance. It felt immersive and special. The balcony was perfect for morning birdwatching. We visited in December, with daytime temperatures around 82°F, cooler at night, and were very comfortable with just a fan. The decor is local, integrated with nature and the culture, and rustic, not modern. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was surprisingly spacious. Some rooms face the Pitons, which are stunning, but our jungle-facing room was more economical and still beautiful. 🟢 Food The food was a highlight. Ingredients are fresh and local, much of it grown on their own farm. We chose the all-inclusive food package and felt it was worth it. You can taste that the food is made with care. Flavorful, thoughtful, and creative. The West Indian cuisine was our favorite. Open-air dining made every meal feel relaxed and connected to nature. 🟢 Local employees The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely kind. I appreciated that Anse Chastanet hires local employees. Tipping is voluntary, but I wanted to tip in cash (local currency when possible)…just like in the US I think this means a lot to the workers, and the dollar goes far here. 🟢 Nature & activities Nature is literally right outside your window. We loved the easy jungle biking route and the onsite hikes. If you enjoy plants or birds, this place is incredible. Birds often visit balconies in the morning, and sea birds are easy to spot from the beach or beach-level restaurants. 🟢 Spa The spa was lovely. If you can choose your therapist, Andia was excellent. Skilled, attentive, and very experienced. 🟢 Scuba I don’t scuba, but my husband does, and he had an excellent experience. The coral and sea life were vibrant, colorful, and active. Having a scuba center right on the beach made everything easy. Short boat rides directly from the hotel beach, lockers for heavier gear so you don’t have to carry it back to your room, rinse stations, and beach showers right behind the dive center. The logistics alone made diving here feel stress-free. 🟢 Accessibility notes Some rooms require walking uphill and the beach requires using several steps. It’s doable, but could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. The resort provides a cell phone to call for shuttles, which made getting around much easier. 🟢 Departure lounge tip If you’re flying out of Hewanorra International Airport, the Iyanola Executive Lounge was worth it for us. It’s not fancy, but it has air conditioning, snacks, bathrooms, and quieter seating. We booked through LoungePair and used the QR code on our phones. Anse Chastanet is ideal for travelers who love nature, snorkeling or scuba diving, and a slower, more intentional kind of resort stay. I’d absolutely come back.

My husband and I got married at Anse Chastenet on Anse Mamin beach with a small group of 30 people. W O W! What an incredible experience. The service was amazing, the entire vacation relaxing, the resort beautiful, the staff incredibly kind and attentive, excursions were a blast, food was delicious, drinks adventurous and yummy, the list goes on. The only comment some of our guests had was only a few rooms had air conditioning (which meant the majority do not). This did not bother me, but we did have our own plunge pool to cool off in before bed time, which makes a huge difference. The experience you get at Anse Chastenet is like no other. They went above and beyond to make the entire trip beyond memorable for our whole group. We had a bonfire at our wedding (which we didn’t expect…such a nice touch) and the table was beautifully decorated. We tried literally almost every excursion available including (but not limited to) scuba diving, sailing, catamaran jazzy sunset cruise, zip lining, mud baths, mountain biking, the list goes on. The lion fish dinner on the beach was outstanding. There are staff members that provide you with fruit skewers and cool towels, among other things, while you are on the beach. We cannot say enough about Anse Chastenet. We highly, highly recommend this resort for a special occasion, or just a nice vacation. Shout-out to our wedding planners Jenelle, Britny, and the help of Trisha, as well as our Chef who was vey accommodating to our food allergy requests. Everyone made our special day that much more memorable. The resort is clean, well-maintained, and beautifully nestled in the hills/mountains of Sourfriere. The wildlife is forever singing, the views are gorgeous, and the ability to experience Jade mountain (both resorts share the premises, restaurants, etc.) is awesome. We took the helicopter back to the airport, as this allowed us some extra time to spend at the resort before leaving. This also spared us the adventurous, yet bumpy drive btn the resort and airport (don’t in the back seat if you get car sick). Our only complaint is the reservation process. The resort outsources the making of reservations to a company located in the US. This experience was awful, leaving our guests scrambling to make reservations as the rooms were booked out from under us despite us being told that wouldn’t happen. Upon our arrival, Anse Chastenet immediately made up for this less than desirable experience. They instantly make you feel comfortable and relaxed with lemongrass towels to cool you off and a welcome drink that is refreshing. If you are looking for a more than memorable experience in your life, look no further. Anse Chastenet is a place everyone should experience.

I came to Saint Lucia solo for my birthday, and staying at Anse Chastanet was the best decision I could have made. The property is breathtaking, but what truly makes this resort unforgettable is the staff. During my stay, I had an unexpected incident that could have easily ruined my trip. Instead, the team went above and beyond to make sure I was cared for, safe, and comfortable. Their kindness turned what could have been a difficult trip into one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences of my life. I’ve traveled all over the world, and nowhere compares to the warmth, love, and hospitality I experienced here. Anse Chastanet isn’t just a resort — it feels like home. I will absolutely be back.
