Fond Doux Plantation & Resort

Loved the private cottage and the location of the plantation. We enjoyed waking up to rain and spending our mornings in the rain forest and then our days at the beach. The free shuttle to Sugar Beach was vital and makes Fond Doux a great value for the price. The shuttle to the beach picks you up at 10am and brings you back at 2 or 4pm. MJ was great! The plantation tour with Zenanick was fantastic. It would have been nice to do the plantation tour earlier in our trip, but the times the tour is offered doesn’t line up well with the beach shuttle. Would be great to offer an 8:30 or 9am tour for guests who would like to do a plantation tour and go to the beach. Being able to call and charge taxis through the front desk was very helpful as well.

Check-in process could use some attention to help guests who are new to the island get adjusted to the environment. It was raining when we checked in so we weren’t showed around the property and didn’t know where anything was located which made the transition tough. A map would be really helpful for guests and could include vital information was well including shuttle times as well as little tips like the ear plugs available in the room should the birds be keeping you up or waking you up early. Eye blinds would also be helpful since the room was quite bright in the morning and we would have like to sleep in just a bit more. Didn’t go to the restaurants for dinner but prices seemed quite high considering the facilities.
