After lots of research, we choose this location to get married in April 2004. We arrived at the Airport and the hotel driver was kind enough to stop at the local grocery and help us shop a little since we were staying for 10 days. Then we drove what seemed like forever on these incredibly bumpy roads, through the small town of Soufriere and finally to our villa at Stonefield. We were anticipating a let down as everything in planning for our wedding had gone way too easy! Communication with Shanna and Francesca at the hotel was perfect (Shanna is the wedding coordinator). The website was so good that you almost thought everything had been touched up in some form or fashion! Here is the GRET NEWS.. this place was better than you can anticipate. We stayed in the Plantation house, 3 bedrooms, three bathrooms, formal dining room that seats 10 easily over looking the bay and the pool, private full size swimming pool, fully equipped kitchen (even a blender!), flowers and mangos everywhere, pet lizards by the pool, huge TV (never had time to use it), stereo system, VCR, 5 disk CD changer, and NO PHONE which was just perfect!

They have a shuttle to the beach as it is easy to walk DOWN to the local beach but the walk back could hurt you! It is very steep terrain and though we did not use the public beach, we heard it was not very clean. The shuttle takes you to the Hilton where you can access their beach and have use of all the snorkeling equipment for the wonderful coral garden at the bottom of the Petit Piton Mountain, which separates Stonefield from the Hilton. You can purchase food at the Hilton but you must pay cash (or credit card).

The Mango Tree was good and on most nights had entertainment. They will try to accommodate you for whatever your needs are. The service was relatively slow but hey, you are on the most beautiful island with the most incredible views, what’s the hurry anyway? It helps you get on island time.

Make the short trip to the pricey but awesome restaurant at the Ladera Resort for sunset. It is spectacular and the food and drinks are good too.

Please remember, there is no air conditioning and the accommodations only have plantation shutters. There are lizards (never saw any in the bedroom), bugs and birds would fly through the kitchen and living room. We made the mistake of leaving some food items on the counter and thought they would be taken away by all the small ants that attacked it! We learned that EVERY food item must be put in the refrigerator or in the oven for safekeeping.

We loved this place and have plans to return there SOON! It was the most relaxing vacation in that you can do tons of sight seeing or absolutely nothing at all but the pool or beach and you don’t feel like you missed out!

Highly recommended, highly missed!!!
