Fresh on the launch of a brand new website, the historic Fond Doux Holiday Plantation in Soufriere, St Lucia has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence award from TripAdvisor for the second consecutive year.

The recognition places the resort in the top-performing 10 percent of all businesses worldwide on TripAdvisor, and is only given to those who consistently earn high ratings from TripAdvisor travelers.

The romantic and secluded hotel features elegant, restored colonial holiday villas and offers two onsite restaurants, an organic spa, catered weddings and romance packages, a collage of outdoor swimming pools, and the opportunity to watch cocoa dancers entice the taste of chocolate from Cacao beans.

“We thank the staff who have made it possible by their hard work, dedication, loyalty, and sacrifice.

We especially thank all of the extended Fond Doux family and friends from around the globe who continue to keep us grounded with transformational advice and feedback,” said Eroline Lamontagne, general manager of the resort.
