Fond Doux Resort & Plantation is comprised of 12 renovated and furnished luxury cottages reminiscent of the 19th century French colonial epoch.

This working plantation grows its own fruits, vegetables and cacao according to eco-friendly standards, exclusively.
With a genuine smile on his face, Lyton – a renowned conservationist stated, “We strive, on a daily basis, to promote the principles of sustainable ecotourism by marrying the elements of conservation and preservation within a working cocoa plantation. We also ensure that this model also combines an authentic boutique hotel experience within this framework”.
On the other end of this fun-filled spectrum is the Bay Garden Beach Resort & Spa. The modern yet cozy 33-room beach hotel offers ocean-front views just feet away from the crystalline waters of the Caribbean Sea.
