On Cloud 9 at Jade Mountain

Jay and I recently took a break from cooking to get married!

We took our honeymoon at Jade Mountain in St. Lucia, which is consistently ranked among the best resorts in the world by the Travel Channel, Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure for its sheer wow factor, and for impeccable service and romantic nature. Just to give you an idea of the service – we took the resort’s boat taxi to a neighboring beach and forgot to bring sunscreen. One of the beach butler’s had someone retrieve a bottle from the gift shop and bring it to us by boat! The resort is set in the mountainside with views of the Caribbean (and just a short walk to the beach). It was so secluded – we had a large suite with a private infinity pool and views of the famous Pitons (volcanos – a main symbol of St. Lucia). With two butlers, a five-star restaurant (plus access to several more restaurants on the Anse Chastanet sister property), and to die for, comfortable accommodations in a three-walled suite, we were absolutely in heaven! Rest assured, we did attend a cooking demonstration by Chef Jonathan so that we knew where all of our delicious food was coming from. And what we found so great about it is that it’s all grown on a nearby farm (and fish caught fresh by local fisherman).

We took an all-inclusive option and took advantage of a sailing cruise, scuba diving, a tour of the Anse Chastanet plantation, jungle biking and a couple’s massage. We will never forget it, check it out!
