Stylish design hotel, fantastic staff, outstanding food & breath-taking views; highly recommended. Set in the ethically-minded Hotel Chocolat cocao hillside plantation, this intimate, relaxing hotel is 20-30mins drive from the nearest beach (Jalouise) but in an idyllic location. Quiet, bar the soothing forest sounds, it may almost be too remote for some for fortnight stays but is absolutely on the... More

We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to stay here for a week: we experienced the many wonders of the Boucan restaurant & enjoyed it all + many of the tours & learnt so much about the Rabot Estate and cacao growth/production. We savoured pure luxury & indulgence & had the week of our lives......topped off by our Wedding... More

My wife and I dined at Hotel Chocolat Thursday May 9. We had dinner with another couple. The food was quite good. I had an excellent steak, and my wife had a great chicken curry. We had dinner at 7pm, which is not too late, but by the time we arrived they were already out of the mid-priced champagne and... More

We were staying nearby so visited Hotel Chocolat for the 'Tree to Bar' tour. It was excellent, harvesting your own cocoa pod, learning all about the plantation and the great work that is going on all over St Lucia and planting your own tree. We saw every stage of the process from tree to cocoa nibs and were then able... More

HOnestly--Usually when I find something this wonderful, this marvelous, this magical--I keep it to myself. There are, after all, only fourteen "lodges" at Hotel Chocolat (even writing the name makes me happy again) and when I go to book, I don't want to find that YOU have my room. But I am making an exception--This is truly the most amazing... More

We visited St. Lucia for the first time in April 2013. We stayed at Hotel Chocolat during the second part of our trip. It was a very unique experience and we had a wonderful time. Things we loved about our stay: - Very new and modern design that is chic and blends indoor and outdoor space seamlessly. - The hotel... More

If you are looking for an intimate, beautifully designed new boutique hotel with stunning views of Petit Piton, this is the place to pick. We spent 3 nights in one of the luxe villas and selected the « Juste Married » package. It included a Sunset cruise which we shared with another couple (great opportunity to see the pitons from...

All too often when traveling one finds oneself having to compromise on one's aesthetic. It is rare to find a combination of location, architecture, design, food and overall style all in one property. Hotel Chocolat succeeds with flying colors. The location is great, with a spectacular and mesmerizing view of the Petit Piton. While a bit of ocean is visible... More

We came here for lunch and both agreed the food was better than at Dashnee at LaDera, although LaDera did have the better view. All of the food had hints of chocolate in it and was very tasty. Service was a bit slow, but it was most likely just Island Time.

In some ways Boucan exceeded all expectations. It is a testament to human ingenuity in engaging with nature. Service is good, food is inventive and local (sometimes hard to find this combo in St Lucia). Luxe villa has the wow factor in spades. But you pay fully for all this, it is on the "Davos man" level. Which is why... More
