GUEST TESTIMONIALS

JANUARY 2008

All staff was wonderful –the most precious asset at Anse Chastanet! Everyone was friendly, helpful, accommodating and genuine.
M/M Gaither

We wanted to add that we appreciated the fact that there were vegetarian entrée choices as well as fish choices for dinner. (We don’t eat meat). This place is in a spectacular setting, intelligently designed with lots of privacy in individual room areas and terraces. The entertainment at night has been wonderful and a nice surprise. The welcoming fruits in our fridge were really nice.
M/M Samuelson

The cocktail evening was a very nice occasion when guests could meet staff. Just what the brochure described about the place.

We love Anse Chastanet and its atmosphere – the warm welcome and having the same room every year –thank you. We appreciate the new changing tent on the beach and the opening up of the road to Anse Mamin-we are now able to make walks to the plantation. The meals remain of a high standard –thanks to Chef John. We have enjoyed our 6th visit and will be back next year to experience the wonderful atmosphere of Anse Chastanet.

It is tough to complete the comment card as we did not have enough room. We would like to tell you what a “GEM” you have here at Anse Chastanet. To end on a positive note, we really loved our room 8B, the view was magnificent. Housekeeping did a great job! The resort is beautiful and the beaches are lovely. The beach service and the beach attendants are great! The snorkeling and boat trips and hiking over at Anse Mamin are superb! The nightly entertainment most nights was fun and a delight! Your free internet service to check on things at home is terrific. The complimentary walks and water shuttle are a great idea.

The resort is breathtaking and the service was exceptional. We are so happy to have spent our honeymoon here. We will be back in the future and will recommend the resort to family and friends.
M/M Kinczal

The information guide is the best we’ve ever seen. Anse Chastanet has been a wonderful environment to relax in. The absence of TV’s, etc has been of real benefit. It was lovely that the only music was live.

The hotel in my estimation has successfully bought together opportunity, concern for the individual and enjoyment. The staff at the level and service areas have shown their enthusiasm for their responsibilities and loyalty to their employer. All staff show a positive attitude nothing is too much trouble. If I lived in St. Lucia I would relish the chance to work in such an environment. (alas I am a retired Headmaster)

M/M Duncan

Thank you for a wonderful experience. The staff and service have been terrific. As a diver traveling alone, I was somewhat of an anomaly to your staff, in the sea of couples! Also, the food and selections at Aspara are amazing. Additionally, scuba St. Lucia is a stellar dive operation. The convenience and ease of diving make you want to come back again and again, but the people are a real treasure too. Also, the spa is absolutely amazing. Every treatment that I had was on par with the top five star resorts. I wouldn’t change a thing! Again I had a full and beautiful experience at Anse Chastanet and look forward to my return.
Mr Carty

Truly unique luxury experience. We have stayed at many other luxury hotels and what most of them lack is the friendliness genuine and attention of the staff at Anse Chastanet. While the setting is magnificent and there are lots of activities, it is the people that sets this place apart.

Haskins/Bell

We have never stayed any where in the world where each person or staff was so extremely friendly and kind. We felt welcomed from the moment we stepped off the plane and continues to enjoy each interaction and conversation with the staff. We are glad to stay in a hotel that employs local staff. The dive facility is well-run and professional. The spa is wonderful.
M/M Bulion

I appreciate the fact that the food served in the restaurants, is fresh, healthy, not salty or fatty. Service in the new tree house is especially courteous, warm and hospitable. It is the kind of service that helps to define an establishment such as this one. Keep it up!
Waithe/Hester

Turning 40 in paradise! No way to beat it. Everything was wonderful. The beach, the diving, the sailing, the food were all great. Tree house food and service were extra ordinary. The chef should have a cook book! The room and view made the vacation one of the best ever.

Staff is always busy, sweeping, raking, cleaning etc. You have set high standards for them and it shows in their work ethic and how they relate with guests. They seem genuine too!

I am going to recommend Anse Chastanet to anyone staying in St. Lucia. The hotel is excellent. All of the staff is professional, knowledgeable and courteous. That is hard to come by these days. After climbing the Piton I did not feel the after effects the next day. That says a lot to me. M/M Johnson

The resort is everything that we had heard about and so much more. Everyone was very friendly which made the experience something that we will always remember. The facilities, beach, water and everything were amazing. We hope to come back again!
– M/M Cavaute

The entire staff, from the beach boys, to the tour guides, to the waiters and bartenders everyone was extremely courteous and accommodating. It seemed that each person took the time to get to know the guests. We definitely do not want to leave!
– Meyer

A wonderful stay. The resort is wonderful, peaceful, close to nature- just as build. Thank you to everyone involved in our enjoyment. One cannot fault the staff. They are all so helpful. Thank you.
– M/M Broadhead

I knew I would never be able to fit in everything I had to say into the "comments" section, so I'm not even attempting! We choose Anse Chastanet for everything you're billed to be and you didn't let us down on anything - in fact I think our room was even more glorious than I had hoped for. To read about the hand picked staff, the enormous rooms, the intimate setting, the ocean, the food etc. etc. is one thing but to be fortunate enough to have enjoyed it for a week in paradise.
– M/M Cane

—Mr/Mrs Allan

We had a tremendous stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the location, the atmosphere and the staff. Our room 7F and the view was beautiful. Anse Chastanet has the right blend of "low key" atmosphere combined with plenty of self—placed outdoor activities. The resort does a nice job of not "overcharging" like many resorts do. Prices for meals and drinks were reasonable. Additionally "complimentary" activities like Kayaks and Snorkeling is a nice touch.
—Mr/Mrs Watts

I can't believe what an amazing honeymoon spot this was for Bill and I. Perfect! We felt that we'd been transported back in time. The room was Amazing and equally matched by the one of a kind setting, staff and food! Coming from the fast placed life in DC especially after the wedding planning this lifestyle was much needed and appreciated. Thank you so much for being the "cherry topping of our wedding memories. All the best— especially in your new venture with Jade Mountain Resort.
—Mr/Mrs Smith

— M/M Goodwin

We have traveled to several Caribbean locations but have yet to find anywhere as exceptional as Anse Chastanet. We end up spending much of these other trips comparing how the 4 and 5 star properties don't measure up to this wonderful place. We continue to enjoy the, the exceptional food and excellent service. This is the one place where we know we will completely relax and escape. – M/M Sandor

The staff from top to bottom is world class. Every issue was anticipated and more than resolved.
I have traveled to many ritz/four seasons but your staff had cleared an intimacy with my family that is remarkable.

— M/M Grayhurst

When I first stepped out of the taxi the service began. I can't believe how wonderful the staff is. Not one person on this whole resort was ever rude or not willing to help. The best advise I have ever received!! Management is hands on which is wonderful! It's been paradise and it wouldn't have been possible without the staff. I thank you all. The thing we will miss most is all of your smiling faces! Thank you again for making our honeymoon a special memory! Can't wait to see you again.

Everything was excellent from side trips to scenery, to services and to the staff – wonderfully friendly people. We really loved the Indian food – the taste and flavors to the presentation. EXCELLENT.

Anse Chastanet provides an overall fabulous experience! So incredibly, naturally beautiful, calm,
quiet— perfect relaxation. Certainly this has to be one of the most beautiful spots in the world. This has been my favorite resort vacation anywhere!
— Barbara, Carlos, Melissa

What a wonderful "hotel"! Not at all like most resorts, which is a good thing! Your staff is warm and very accommodating, the service is excellent, and the food is outstanding! This is a beautiful island and I look forward to returning some day.
— The St. Georges

We've had a wonderful time. You have all helped to make our honeymoon very very special.
— M/M Fountain

"Little things don't mean a lot; they mean absolutely everything!" I found that at Anse Chastanet there was attention to detail. In all departments guest desires were anticipated in advance, and the personalized service was offered by the employees as if it was their privilege to do things for the guests. Little things like cheery "how are you?" from all staff, water in ice buckets at the beach, as well as the mint spritz & cloths were welcome surprises
Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
— M/M Moberg

Apart from the magnificent position, surroundings, natural beauty, one of Anse Chastanet's most precious resources is it's staff. They are the friendliest most caring and attentive staff we have encountered at any hotel across the world. This applies to all – guides, boat and beach staff, bar, restaurant staff, porters, domestic staff. Also maintenance staff.
— M/M Perkins

Food service friendliness of staff, activities on offer are top notch.
— M/M Foggon

We have just got married at Anse Chastanet – it was far more than we expected – absolutely fantastic.
Every member of staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and couldn't do enough for us. The setting is superb – we have truly had the holiday of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who helped make it.
— M/M Dowling

Dear Peter and all staff at Anse Chastanet,
Thank you all for such a fantastic holiday. We have never stayed anywhere so beautiful, where all the staff were so pleasant, courteous, helpful and informative. Primarily we were there for our daughter Lucy's wedding and we would like to thank everybody for helping to make it such a memorable happy day. Special thanks must go to Perle and Monica whose excitement was infectious. They explained about the St. Lucian tradition of the bride and groom feeding each other with wedding cake. We know that Perle spent a lot of time with decorating the terrace, for both the daytime and evening celebrations with stunning results. Monica's help in decorating the bridal suite 7F in the evening was stunning results. Monica's help in decorating the bridal suite 7F in the evening was invaluable! I'm sure she can explain! A personal touch was added by the maids by spelling out "congratulations" in flowers on the rug in Lucy and Rob's room. All of these things contributed in making the day so special, we have lots of lovely memories of the day.
— J and L Dowling

Thank you for an absolutely wonderful vacation. We found just the right combination of adventurous activities and relaxation. The food was excellent especially at dinner.

— M/M Wlaz

We loved the location of the resort. Resort itself is very unique and we love that it takes you away from the outside world. Service was great and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Jungle biking and snorkeling trips were our favorite activities. The $150 coupon for each person for food and beverage was very generous.
— M/M Kazorek

We cannot praise your staff highly enough. They have been without exception excellent, friendly, helpful, courteous, skilled. We are very sad to be saying good bye to them today. What wonderful smiles they all have! The room we had was lovely. It was a pleasure to return to it when we wanted a little solitude. The facilities were just right,
— M/M Gilders

Managers and all staff,
I felt that I had to write to thank you for a holiday of a lifetime. We have been to many beautiful places in the world but not to one that combined everything that makes a holiday special. The staff were wonderful all making us feel special, our room was amazing. We really felt that we were in the middle of the plantation on our own. The frog in our tree helped!!The food was excellent — thanks to Jon and staff. All activities that we undertook were managed with charm and helpfulness — special mention to Meno and Paul (snorkel)
— Mac Govern Family

We would just like to thank all the staff at Anse Chastanet for making our stay with you something really memorable. My husband and I had a fantastic time, and it was the perfect way to spend my 50th birthday!! We found the hospitality & level of service outstanding. Thank you all.
— E & C Hatton, UK

Having just returned from a superb holiday in the Caribbean (St. Lucia and Barbados), we would like
to put on record our sincere thanks to all the staff at Anse Chastanet who made our stay in St. Lucia
such a memorable experience.

Their efficiency, courtesy and unfailing helpfulness are a credit to the hotel! We cannot praise to highly the dedication of the staff to the welfare of the guests and it ensures that all visitors to Anse Chastanet leave the resort with a wonderful impression of traditional Caribbean hospitality. You are made to feel welcome at Anse Chastanet! Need we say any more!

Thanking all your staff once again!
— Rob and Alison Whittle

The natural beauty of the hotel is therapeutic and as beatifully romantic as any place we've been... Not only is the serenity and natural beauty of the hotel wonderful but the staff are exceptional! We've never had such great service before.
— Leo Cain, New Brunswick, Canada

Our stay was the one most memorable of the many trips we've taken... Our room was so gorgeous it was hard to believe it could really be true – there cannot be a better view out any room in the world! The fact that everything was made locally impressed us so much, and added to the charm. It is so nice to go to a resort and really get a feel for the people of the place you are visiting rather than just feeling you could be at any resort in any city in the world – all the same. The employees of Anse Chastanet all were so friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs as well as making us feel like they were glad we were there.
— G and S Heaton, Texas

Perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
— Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Hanbury, Jr

A very enjoyable stay which allows you to truly escape the rest of the world if you wish so. The settings, the ambiance and the staff contribute to a profoundly relaxing holiday.
— Mr/Mrs Petchell, London, UK

Absolutely fantastic holiday, wedding and honeymoon. The staff is a real asset at this resort and integral to it being a 5 star facility. We hope to return for our anniversary in the near future.
— Mr/Mrs Davidson, New York, USA

Wonderful location, peace and excellent service so good we never left the hotel.
— Ross, Neuchatal, Switzerland

Beautiful Spot. Best beach on the island. Wonderful diving.
— Mr/Mrs Bird, Bristol, UK

Such a stunning view in our room and a wonderful relaxing stay. Great staff and food.
— Mr/Mrs Mansell, London, UK

We completely enjoyed our stay. It was everything we look for in a "getaway" vacation – quiet, secluded and stunningly beautiful. The food was fabulous. We love to travel and don't often return to the same place twice but we agree that we plan to return to ANSE CHASTANET.
— Mr/Ms Healy/Young, Newfoundland, Canada

ANSE CHASTANET honestly feels like a bit of heaven on earth. Everything about our stay was wonderful and we could not have picked a more perfect place for our honeymoon. The only bad part about ANSE CHASTANET is having to leave. We are already planning our 5th anniversary trip back here. Thank you for everything.
— Ms/Mrs Shrenk, Pennsylvania, USA

Dinners were wonderful, food five star and beautifully presented. Spa very nice and service excellent. Best facial I have ever received anywhere whilst on vacation.
—Mr/Ms Messer, Peoria, USA

We had a wonderful holiday.We have stayed at hotels on several Caribbean islands but yours was certainly the best. We have never before experienced such excellent service which was delivered with genuine pleasure for us being there. We do hope to make a return visit.
— B. and G. Lowen, United Kingdom

Dive Shop and boat service staff was well organized and helpful.
— Mr/Mrs Siminoff

Thank you for making our honeymoon such an amazingly special and romantic occasion. ANSE CHASTANET has far exceeded all our expectations. It's totally unique and unlike any hotel we have ever stayed before. The location and views are stunning, the rooms are delightful and your staff and service were exceptional and faultless. All our meals were wonderful and beautifully presented. We shall be recommending ANSE CHASTANET to all our family and friends and we're already saving up for our next trip.
— Mr/Mrs Ward/Dickson, Louisiana, USA

When I booked my holiday at ANSE CHASTANET, I was not aware how many great facilities the Resort had to offer. I loved the spa and thought that the art gallery was a nice touch. I came to ANSE CHASTANET to relax but found myself partaking in many of the activities offered such as the boat snorkel trips and the jungle biking. Keep it up.
— J.George, Miami, USA

The entire staff in the spa was just marvelous. We had a total of six treatments and they were glorious experiences at the hands of very obviously capable, thoroughly trained and sensitive practitioners.
— L and T Steenburg, Illinois, USA

Your hotel provided exactly the mix of relaxing, swimming, snorkelling and hiking that we wanted. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. We will recommend this hotel.
— Mr /Mrs Goodman, Cambridgeshire, UK

You probably hear it all the time, however, our visit to ANSE CHASTANET far exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness, the service and the people all combined to make our stay one that we will think of often. The fact that we didn't feel like just a number, that staff remembered our names blew me away. I don't think we'll ever be able to stay at a big chain hotel again.
— Mr/Mrs Russell, Kanata, ON, Canada

We love the sculptures and the art. The gardens are well cared for and we are pleased that the furniture is made locally. We also had a great experience and the swimming and snorkeling was most enjoyable.
— Mr/Mrs Atkins, Swaffham, UK

This was the best diving holiday I ever had because I could enjoy great diving while my wife for once was not bored and thoroughly enjoyed the great beach and the many non-diving facilities you offered.
— J. Jacobs, California, USA

Jungle Biking is a great addition. The guys there were great and proud of what they were doing. Meneau and his tour were a delight.
— Mr/Ms Erickson/Momchilovich, Eagan, MN, USA

Hot Rock massage was the best massage I have ever had. The room was exceptional, open, large, great views, private — best time of my life.
— Mr/Mrs Wilson, Cape Elizabeth, USA
