No, never ate at Ladera, but it is supposed to be pretty good according to the reviews by friends. Both resorts are in some very fantastic scenery. Anse has a neat little lagoon thing going on with amazing snorkling. Regarding the topless thing....don't do it on the public beaches!
Also, if you are up to it, take a taxi or bus to the restaurant up the mountain overlooking the bay. I don't remember the name, but the view is flat out amazing of the old volcano (Pitons). Ladera is close to this restaurant, so I would only go if you stayed at Anse.
Food...very good at the resorts. Away from them, it is a mixed bag, but if you are adventurous...hey...why not. I really enjoyed how they cooked the plantains with fish. Some of it was different, but I sure ate a lot!
Have a good time....it sounds like you will!
