My stay at Fond Doux was a mixed bag. The cottages are nestled beautifully in nature, and the lush surroundings create a serene atmosphere, which was a definite highlight. However, I found the maintenance of the property lacking, with several areas looking rundown. The dining experience also varied, with some highs and lows, but overall, I left feeling it could have been better.

Dining had its moments. Breakfast and dinner were decent, especially with the Saturday night entertainment, but lunch left much to be desired, lacking in both variety and quality.

I cannot say enough good things about my stay at this resort! The accommodations were so charming, tucked into a stunning garden with tropical trees all around. The food was mouth-watering, and the service made me feel like part of the family. I did wish the Wi-Fi was more reliable at times, and the excursions could be a bit pricey, but overall, I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Staying at Fond Doux Eco Resort was truly a dream. The experience immersed me in nature with its lush setting and unique plantation cottages. While the service and dining were exceptional, the heat in the cottage could sometimes be a bit intense without any air conditioning. Overall, it was a charming getaway filled with warmth and hospitality.

My stay at Fond Doux was a unique experience, surrounded by lush rainforest and the charm of a plantation resort. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making our escape feel extra special. While the dining options were tasty, the wait times were a bit long, and the swimming pools, while nice, were smaller than I expected. Parking was convenient, but I did notice some hiccups with Wi-Fi that could be improved.

The Fond Doux Plantation and Resort offers a unique stay surrounded by lush rainforests and stunning views. The accommodations are comfortable and nestled beautifully in nature, making it a memorable experience. However, the repetitive dining menu can be a downside if you're staying for multiple days, and the shuttle service to the beach has some hidden costs that should be clarified upfront.

While the food is tasty and the breakfast is delightful, the dinner menu can become repetitive after a few nights. Trying local dining options off-site offers more variety.
