Extract from Author's Note in 'Black Widow', the newly published novel by Randy Wayne White

I would especially like to thank Nick and Karolin Troubetzkoy and the staff at Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet, Saint Lucia, in the Eastern Caribbean. It is among the most beautiful and brilliantly designed nature-oriented resorts I have seen. While I was writing there, Della Thornille, Jondell Bailey, and Peter Jean-Paul were unfailingly helpful, as were my friends Karyn and Michael Allard.

JANUARY 2008

We had a great time the view was spectacular. This was a much needed relaxing vacation and it definitely did its job. It exceeded our expectations.

The accommodations are exceptional and great value by comparison. Bathrooms are excellent. The wood, tile, stone work and design are incredibly beautiful. Design - amazing! Get Architects Digest in here for a layout. The details -mirror placement, privacy created by the structural designŠ.All perfect. Color tiles and soon to come glass art so creatively beautiful. It's an emotional experience to stay here and a great breather. The special peace is so relaxing!

What an amazing week/honeymoon. The room was simply perfect - makes it very hard to leave. Also the food was delicious and the drinks (especially the coco loco -Sara's favorite) were great. We enjoyed the activities, especially our day sail and our private dinner on the beach and the island is beautiful, but what have been really most impressive have been the people we are going to miss. Many of the workers we've gotten to know and have constantly been amazed by the smiles -friendliness of everyone at Jade & Anse Chastanet.

My husband and I would like to thank everyone here at Jade Mountain for making our vacation one of our favorite spots. The warm welcome, the amazing staff and I must say thanks you to all the chefs for all the exotic, delicious meals; we will miss the food for sure. Our sanctuary was the best in our eyes. We loved the view and the whole look; we could have stared at the Pitons all day. Again we thank everyone for their kindness and can't wait to return to paradise. We will be returning next December again. Hopefully we can stay in JD1 again.

Excellent food, excellent service.
M/M Ryan

Unique experience that no one should miss. This was a totally relaxing vacation for us, due entirely to the sanctuary – in its size, perspective and design and of course the relaxed atmosphere created by the friendly and attentive staff. We felt very self- contained with the option to do as much or as little as we wanted.

Our best holiday ever – thank you all so much for making our honeymoon so magical. The rooms are simply breathtaking – the most beautiful we have ever seen, and the level of service is outstanding – all of the staff are so friendly and helpful – much better than any hotel we have ever stayed at. The food at both treetops and the club is excellent and beautifully presented. There are so many activities and trips that one could never be bored and the snorkeling off the beach is world class. I just cannot imagine a more perfect location, or anywhere more relaxing or more full of activity, depending on your choice. We loved it!
M/M Allen

The level of service and attention to detail far surpasses any we have seen in the world. The staff are sincere and kind and make you feel most welcome.
