Champagne upon arrival during private check in. The manager met us and showed us around and then to our room. We had one of the Garden view rooms but the view was still excellent. We will book a villa upon our return. The only thing we really missed is that there is no soaking tub in the garden or ocean-view rooms, only in the villas. We tried to upgrade but the place was sold out for the week. It is only a 50 room facility so there is never a crowd. We had minor electrical and AC issues with our room that were attended to promptly, and were offered a room reassignment, but we declined as it was on the lower floor. The resort has two pools in addition to the villas having private pools, so again never a crowd. We wished for a jacuzzi, but again some only in the villas, so we will just book a villa when we return, problem solved. If you aren't going to be around and you plan to do every adventure known to man, then don't bother paying for a villa, but if you plan to just enjoy the peace of your vacation in a luxury accommodation, get the villa.

The GMs Ross and Annabel held a guest cocktail meet and greet during the week, with live music by the gorgeous infinity pool. There was a guest chef series and the menu was just delectable and fresh. Our table was interviewed by the local television news about our dinner during the guest chef series, it was quite exciting.

Breakfast was included, I would say there is a bit of a better selection on the room service menu for breakfast, but you miss your beautiful morning by the sea if you stay in your room , so order in once but never twice, and then just make requests for the omelette when you are dining sea side.

The staff is very attentive of every request and the setting is so intimate that everyone knows you. The room service staff makes note of your special requests and keeps them up and turn-down service as well. Management knows everything, even if you don't tell them. Ross heard about our room problem and was very generous about compensation for the inconvenience even though we did not take the room change that was offered.

The non motorized water sports are included, but if you need a lesson there is a charge. That isn't clear in the brochure etc, so be sure to make note if you want the hobby-cat for the day and its your first time. Snorkeling is best by the restaurant so kayak over there and go for a dive, so beautiful and clear you can see the coral lifescape from the kayak.

I would recommend renting a car for the week if you stay long, as it gives you mobility,, as if you don't rent a villa you have no kitchen and the daily menu in the restaurant doesn't vary too much if there isn't an event. It is also quite expensive for dinner although the courses are very good - excellent. The only thing is the staff gets quite confused when a check is to be split amongst rooms, it takes them longer to get that together than dinner itself. Even though we told them separate checks ahead of dining.

The Spa Maison is heaven. I never use the hotel spas but I decided to splurge. Oh its the best. The massage was heaven, there is a much raved about masseuse there, his name is Julian. He also takes the guests on hikes and runs every evening almost. Get a massage, and then book another its worth every cent.

The hotel grounds are so lush and so well attended to there is full staff cutting and pruning and sculpting the whole day. There are cute little private sitting areas like smugglers pointe that overlook the sea and the terrace outside the library. The sunsets just behind Pigeon Island which so to see the full set you drive there, about 1.5 miles away if that. The beach is not the best on the island but it isn't shabby. It is nestled in a cliff area so it isn't sunny at all. The cliffs and the foliage block the sun a bit, it comes through just not full on. It is small and tucked away so you will not fight for prime real estate. If there are no enough chairs the staff goes and gets them for you.

This is the best vacation we have had. And we just absolutely must return.

As a seasoned traveler and self-proclaimed snob cap was insane. We arrived to Ross (the manager) who greeted us with a glass of champagne and showed us to our massive room. Not only did we have a great pad but also a kitchen and private pool with almost 200 degree views of the ocean. The food was incredible and varied enough to give us new tastes for each meal. Oh, and the rumor that the chef will bring out warm cookies by the pool was true (which worked well for my wife who was 7 months pregnant). One night we also took a champagne cruise on their yacht which was great! The private beach nextdoor... I can go on and on. My one piece of advice for those traveling with a pregnant wife is don't do the car service... take a helicopter from St. Lucia instead (the drive is nauseating and 1.5 hours). Suffice it to say we did take the helicopter on the way back which gave us a great view of the island before leaving (sadly). Go here and not there... trust me... the fact that I'm writing this review so long after our stay shows you how awesome it really was.

To be honest it is really difficult to fault Cap Maison. My husband and I had a simply amazing holiday, enjoyed every minute of it and did not want our week there to come to an end. Note that happiness for us is not doing anything for a week, and we enjoy dining to the sound of the sea in the background. If you want something more lively, then this may not be the hotel for you.
Our Junior Suite was lovely - clean, spacious, well appointed and with the most amazing view from the balcony, out over the luxuriant hotel gardens, to the Caribbean sea.
On site restaurant is Cliff at the Cap, overlooking the sea. All food was superb, especially recommend the local speciality Roast Bakes and Salt Fish for breakfast. WIth a set price menu for dinner at night, we thought it great value. All staff quickly learned our names and we felt we were treated with a perfect balance of warmth and respect. Only slight difficuty we had was persuading them to serve us slowly enough so that dinner would last all evening!
If you get the chance of a sunset cruise on board the hotel cruiser, take it - it's magical.
Enjoyed a dip in the sea and beer at Dunstan's beach bar in the afternoons. Back to the hotel is up many steps, but the climb got easier each day.
Took one trip to nearby Rodney Bay for shopping and change of restaurant but after about an hour, having purchased souvenirs, we decided the Cliff at the Cap was a better dining venue than anything there, so headed straight back to Cap.I don't generally visit a place more than once (too many new places in the world to see) but am seriously considering making an exception for Cap Maison.

We did the "Peak to Beach" package along with Ladera Resort and it was well worth it. We stayed in one of the suites with the rooftop pool and it was great. Our friends had been put into one of the garden suites and after seeing ours, got moved. The views from the roof in your own private pool are great. We bought a bottle of rum and some champagne and we were set for some tremendous sunsets with our friends. The rest of the suite is very well appointed with luxury toiletries, towels galore, robes and amenities. The rum punch and cookies on arrival are a nice touch. There is a huge kitchen and living area and you have multiple balconies and porches with different views. The restaurant, The Cliff at Cap, was very good. However, it got a bit repetitive as we were all inclusive. They need to change up the menu variety more often. The customer service was good, but not a patch on the royal treatment we got at Ladera. Cap Maison knew it was our 25th Anniversary and we never even got a special treat. At Ladera, they had a bottle of champagne waiting for us AND the chef served us a special tasting dinner. Cap Maison is much more laid back, very quiet and reserved. The service is good, but they are just not quite as outgoing and friendly. The Spa was great. My wife and I both had a massage together which was a special treat. There is a very good fitness center. The beach and beach bar are a great little secluded hide away and its nice to have the option of the pool or the beach.

Rodney Bay is nearby, but there isn't a heck of a lot to do there. There is a new mall that just opened there with a high end grocery store and you can purchase food and drink to bring back to the huge kitchen in your suite at Cap Maison. The views of Pigeon Island are great and its only about 2 miles away. It makes for a good walk or run, but the traffic and potholes are a bit hairy. I recommend going to the Preserve at Pigeon Island and the old fort. There is a restaurant there as well.

Our stay at Cap Maison was total bliss, simply an incredible experience and the absolute perfect Babymoon. Our luxurious honeymoon in various islands in French Polynesia - Tikehau, Moorea and Bora Bora set the bar very high for future high-end holidays but our short stay at Cap Maison was par excellence on every level.

The legendary suite 22 which we heard so much about with it's own roof top terrace and swimming pool with unbeatable (180 degree) vista of Carribean waters did not disappoint. I must have taken hundreds of photos of the same view from different vantage points just because you truly can't get enough of it!!!

We ate at the Cliff restaurant each night which has one of the best settings on the whole island coupled with food to die for. I have to stress that it was not just good but to standards and tastes of the very highest level. Our tastes buds pulled us in every breakfast and dinner.

Despite the hotel, suite, food and setting being the very best - the level of caring service from staff whether garden, maintenance, waiters, house keeping, chef..... topped EVERYTHING. There was seemed no limit to the depth and warmth of genuine caring service we received, to levels nothing my wife and I have ever experienced before anywhere else. I must stress that this was truly genuine and not forced/pushed or bogus. It made the best of experiences truly memorable and that alone will draw us back year after year.
