Sandals Regency La Toc

This was our first time going to La Toc and for our 40th anniversary we reserved a Butler room. We have stayed at many Sandals over the years but never in the Butler category and we were not sure what to expect. As it turns out our experience was excellent and the butler team of Clovis, G, and Donovan made our 10 day stay very memorable. The 3 Horsemen as that call themselves were there when we needed them but at the same time did not hover at all which we greatly appreciated. The one time we did have an issue with our room they were quick to rectify the situation and over deliver on the solution which was a nice surprise to us. The resort itself was beautiful and the food was very good The Dive team was fantastic with the only drawback being the commute to the Maria each day. Overall we loved the resort and we can’t say enough about our butlers, that made it memorable. Tim & Ann Marie

We came here for our honeymoon and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived we were treated so well. We have to give a huge shout out to Travis the Bow Tie Man for all he did for us during our stay. He was a friendly and cheery face everyday- bringing us drinks and pizza and always checking on us by the pool. He gave us great suggestions for dinner (which all restaurants on the resort were yummy) as well as excursions. Drinks were all very tasty it’s just a beautiful resort with great people. Thank you to Travis and everyone else at La Toc who made us feel so special!

Sadly, vacationing has never been a feasible priority in our lives, in fact the last real trip my wife and I took was our Honeymoon, this trip was to celebrate our 25 anniversary and while I wouldn't say "it was worth the WAIT" it was worth the trip and the money. We flew in on a Weds, the drive from the airport in Fort Vieux is a bit long and while to island is beautiful, it is also a bit depressing to see how so many of the residents live. That being said the resort was beautiful, could maybe use a few upgrades and a little TLC but beautiful non the less. We stayed in one of the Honeymoon Hideaway Rooms which was a bit detached from the main building but not a long walk at all. The room was very nice, it had everything we needed including a fridge stocked with beverages. It was clean, cool and comfortable. We felt the bathroom could definitely use a little work as the shower hardware was falling apart and a piece kept falling off. The resort itself is beautiful, the majority of the staff was extremely helpful, friendly and seemed genuinely happy. The main pool was refreshing but get there early if you want a good spot to sit. The swim up bar was great and the drinks were fantastic (there were quite a few). There was usually something going on when you were down there so if you are looking for things to do, you will have them. We did feel the music was a little young for the crowd sometimes (a little louder then it needed to be at times too -its supposed to be fun AND relaxing), we kind of fell into the mid age range and paying attention to those ages and catering too the middle is more likely to be enjoyable to all the age ranges young to old. We pretty much always ate at the Pavillion for lunch since it was right there, we had breakfast there as well. You don't have to do this since there are several other restaurants nearby, but it was close and quick so we didn't mind at all. At night we often sat down by the main bar where they usually had music etc going on. The pool never closes so i would have liked to see the swim up bar open longer on maybe someone from the main bar could just serve as a waiter/waitress for the people in the pool at the times its closed, a little more service when poolside would be nice too, it would be nice to not have to get up for your drinks. Restaurants: There are three restaurant you need reservations for, we made reservations for two of the three but cancelled one of those because we changed our mind. The one we did go to, La Toc (French) was great. Reviews I read online said it was the best of all the Sandals resorts on the island. To address that, you can go to any of the three Sandals properties on the island, we did not take advantage of this because we believed it wouldn't be worth the travel time but we found out the one resort was very close. Honestly we had enough to occupy our time where we were. Back to restaurants, We ate at Neptunes twice and were very happy with our meals, Soy (sushi) was also excellent, Cricketeers Pub was okay but they are open late which is nice. We did two excursions through Island Routes while we were there, one we didn't love, the other (Sourfriere Adventure Cruise) was the highlight of our trip, so much fun and worth every penny, we did so much in that one day, I highly recommend it. Check in and check out were smooth, it rained, more of a drizzle each day and sometimes rained a bit heavy overnight but overall the weather was great. The waves are a bit heavy at the La Toc beach as the other reviews say so if you don't like that, either stay at the pool or go to another sandal's resort on the island. Overall, despite the little things I mentioned, which aren't meant as complaints, just suggestions for improvement, We had an amazing time. As I said at the beginning of the post, we don't to travel much, we usually can't easily part with the money, but this trip was reasonably priced, included, pretty much everything and was more than worth it. We would definitely be interested at staying at another Sandals, if we ever get the chance, and you should consider doing so too. Thank you for a great experience.

We arrived in St Lucia about 11 am and we brisked through passport control within 15 minutes, in our view fast track would have been a waste of money. Once we got through, we headed to the Sandals lounge where we had our cases taken ready for the air-conditioned Sandal coach for the transfer. The roads do have a few pot holes and do have one or two sharp bends but we thought that the 70 minute journey wasn’t that bad. We were greeted by the Sandals staff with a welcoming song and checked in straight away. Our room was 601, we didn’t need a Butler on Club level, we were happy with our GO Emerald Honeymoon Oceanview room. The views are stunning. After settling in we headed for the Crickets pub for something to eat and drink. In the morning at 8am we booked the three restaurants Pitons, Kimonos and La Toc. Then headed for the Pitons quiet pool, we spent most of our morning here, unfortunately most of the sun loungers were taken by the butlers which we didn’t mind, we are early risers and always managed to find a lounger. The staff made our holiday everyone with the exception of a couple people always had a smile on there faces and would greet us with a good morning or how are you enjoying your holiday. Ubald the pool attendant at the Pitons pool was normally there in the morning and we always had a chat, he noticed my Man City towel and would talk about football and he would always ask about our welfare and say enjoy your breakfast and have a nice day. Tamera served us at the Pitons pool she was a joy, nothing was to much trouble and kept our drinks topped up on our first two days unfortunately she was moved to another bar, we did manage to see her around and always stopped for a chat. We were lucky to bump into Charles by the main pool, what a people’s person he is. He asked if we were celebrating anything and when we told him we were celebrating our 21st Wedding anniversary he took notes and on the day of our anniversary he brought us a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket along with a couple of coconut drinks and ice cream. He always had a happy smile on his face and would always ask about our welfare and ask if we needed anything. Charles is such an asset to this hotel and made our stay so much more enjoyable. He must be a Butler in waiting because his attention to detail is incredible. Others that deserve a mention are Dale the manager in Pavillion restaurant incredible memory, when the restaurant was full he took our name and room number and found us when a table was available. He remembered our name and would always come over and have a chat when he saw us. Collington in the crickets was great with a very distinctive Jamaican voice. Lisa who booked our restaurants and was sat at our table on the returning guests meal is so lovely. Janel in the Pavillion bar who had a tattoo on her arm in roman numerals of her daughter’s birthday Made great cocktails. Jennifer our room cleaner, every morning would say hello and ask how we were such a lovely lady who kept our room pristine. We tried all the restaurants and never had a bad meal, our favourites were La Toc and Kimonos be sure to book them as soon as you can, we tried both twice. We a couple of days at Grande which we enjoyed, it has a different vibe and well worth a visit. All in all our 14 days went too quicky and we can definitely highly recommend Sandals Regency La Toc. Has we mentioned before the people will make your holiday they genuinely go the extra mile to make your stay special.

We have had a lovely holiday at Sandals La Toc. We had a few hiccups but with the excellent assistance and professionalism of Emma, Jacintha and the GM (sorry cannot remember the correct spelling of his name), these were ironed out efficiently and promptly. These members of staff are always walking around ensuring guests are happy they certainly did not shy away from questions and issues, thank you, especially when our flight was cancelled! A mention to Treon, Hyacinth, Brianna and most of all Travis, you go over and beyond, a true credit to Sandals. La Toc is an older resort and looks tired in places but this did not deter from a great holiday. We did visit the other two resorts for restaurants and water skiing. Grande in our opinion has better food choices, portions and service. However in terms of setting, beach and scenery, La Toc is the best. All in all a great holiday.
