We love La Haut. This was a second time there. 9 nights of tranquility. Our flight was delayed. We got in late but the front desk arranged for security to show us to our room. Glender and Marvin helped us with beach towels, laundry, and taxis. We found the front desk to be readily available and always friendly. We stayed in Cashew #3. The room was beautiful. Large comfortable bed and spotless. A shout out to our housekeeper, Vern. She was very nice and did a great job. The view is second to none. Not only the Pitons but a view of Soufriere. Lovely at night. The sounds of the forest at night, a soundtrack to relaxation. We had beautiful sunsets and moon views. The room has air conditioning, it works well. The endless pool is spotless and the views incredible. A little bit chilly. We used swim tops for extra comfort. It is just big enough to do some laps! The property was once a fruit plantation. The grounds are lovely. Lots of birds, flowers, and fruit trees. There is even a donkey on site. Fun. This is not an all-inclusive resort were you never leave the property. This is a place to experience the real St Lucia and a great launching pad to the surrounding area. I recommend having a car, but it is not necessary. It depends on your length of stay and how much you want to explore. On Valentines Day we got a taxi and went to the Chocolate restaurant. The taxi was $50 U.S round trip, so that could add up fast. We took our car exploring daily. Two of the world’s best beaches. Anse Chastanet and Anse Manim are very close. You can also take a water taxi from Soufriere. If you like to snorkel or just swim this is top notch. You can use the amenities of the resorts for around $25 per person. Seems like a deal considering rooms at the resort start around $1000 per night. We also drove to the volcano, Gris Piton and Project Chocolate at Hotel Chocolate. Do not miss the Sunday market at Project Chocolate. Fresh juices were the best on the island. All easy drives from La Haut. We rented a Chevy Spark because it is tiny. Good for the narrow roads but had good clearance for the beach road. We have a friend in town, the Island Chef, so we did not eat at the restaurant at La Haut but a couple of times. The food is very good, but they seemed understaffed, so things move a bit slow. But it’s Island Time! I do recommend the restaurant. The views are fantastic. Our waiter, Shade was super nice and was working hard. We met La Haut owners, the Allen’s. They were super nice. On our last visit Joe was crushing sugarcane on a wheel powered by the donkey. He mixed the juice with Bounty Rum and shared with us. Then we talked a good while and solved all the words problems! I saw some reviews about the condition of the property. I have stayed in some funky places in the Caribbean. This is not one of them. Possibly a good analogy would be the difference between your large local supermarket compared to your local famers market. It’s not “fancy” but its’s comfortable and be
