Jade Mountain

Unbelievable place to have experienced. The style of the hotel is visually stunning. The architecture is incredibly unique and the views - well, I’ve never seen anything like it. We stayed in a Star Sanctuary just for 2 nights as part of a bigger holiday at Anse Chastanet and it really was sensational. The completely open to the air room with the most spectacular view of the pitons was so special, and to enjoy it from your own in-room pool?! We’ve peaked! Yoga on the rooftop in the mornings was a wonderful start to the day. Beautiful 360 views and wonderful instructor to talk you through everything and take it at your own pace. The staff - goodness me I’ve never known anything life it. In both Anse and Jade, it blows my mind how they remember not only your names/rooms etc, but also remember the activities you are doing that day and ask you about it when they pass you, even if you didn’t tell that person specifically. The joyfulness of the general demeanour of everyone is catching and I can’t understand what anyone would ever have to complain about. Tetclus was our majordomo and he was amazing. Booked dinner for us before we had checked in without us having even thought about it, always had wonderful suggestions and was just lovely in every way. My husband and I would consider ourselves foodies and will always seek out interesting, local, tasty food when we visit places. Well, again we were blown away by the quality and the flavours (particularly the sauces here are amazing) of the food. We both had the steak offerings at one point and it was cooked to perfection as per what we had asked for. The seafood options are divine and every single dessert is heavenly. You are encouraged to take your time with meals, and just to soak in the view and calmness of it all. On one of the mornings we opted to have breakfast in our room, just to enjoy it whilst we were there, and we loved every second. The cost is insane and we went in knowing that this was likely “once in a lifetime” for us but we would do it again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny,

Don’t meet your heroes so they say. But every now and again you really should. There’s been a lot written about the hotel and how it was build. It’s an amazing building and all the words and the articles don’t even come close to how you feel when you’re finally left in your room. Wow.

The best part about this place is the rooms/views. Everything else is mediocre. The service was poor with bad communication. Asking for anything on the beach seemed like a bother. No one offered help moving chairs, they would watch us do it ourselves. They would bring you the check on the beach after ordering one thing when we just wanted to keep the tab open and relax. There was no private pool in the sun. They had one covered pool in the middle of the restaurant (?) which seemed more like decoration. The food was decent. The roads were horrendous even between the beaches. You can stay at much nicer resorts with better service, food, beach, amenities for much cheaper than this. The cherry on top was at check out we discovered around $500 in incorrect charges that they did end up removing. Spent around $15,000, took from our savings, just to be let down incredibly. We were robbed. Anyone who thinks this place is worth 5 stars must not be well traveled.
