Sandals Grande St. Lucian

The Sandals Grand St. Lucian has good food, great beachfront and very attentive and friendly staff. We were there for 2 weeks and each day was nice. We felt that this Sandals Resort is better for sitting on the beach than La Toc or Halcyon. The biggest issue is getting from the airport on the South side of the island to the resort on the North side of the island. The helicopter trip is the fastest but most expensive. 15 to 20 minutes. Weather conditions play a role in the flight time and when it departs. I recommend using Fast Track at the airport. The resort offers complimentary shuttle service to the two other Sandals.

90% of the staff were extremely welcoming and kind. Some of the female staff not always 100% pleasant but there were those that compensated for that immensely. Check in was amazing. Immediately greeted and made to feel like royalty. Food was outstanding. Best Coconut and Pistachio ice cream I ever had in all my travels. Every restaurant was quality food. Some of the staff seemed confused on the menus and what was being served vs. what they were out of. Not a big deal. New Years eve festivities were outstanding. Best part was the parade and the uniqueness of the band and presenting the music of the island was so enjoyable. decorations, fireworks and music were outstanding. Dessert bar was beautiful. Champagne toast was icing on the cake. We took a day cruise for snorkeling and lunch which was outstanding from the staff to the snorkeling to the music they did an outstanding job. Sites were beyond beautiful, and the staff just went out of their way to make it fun. Taking pictures for us, providing a safe and comfortable environment to have as much fun as possible. Highly recommend. When leaving they were more than accommodating to load our luggage and provide any necessary guidance we needed to get to the next stop in our vacation.

I wanted to write and commend the people and the Sandals Resort we stayed at. We have never been to a Sandals let alone out of the USA. What a great first experience!!! When we arrived at the resort, we were treated like royalty by everyone from those that took care of our luggage, checked us in, showed us to our room, introduced us to our butlers (we had the over water bungalow with a butler) we were kind of overwhelmed by all of the friendly staff and how helpful they all were. The resort was clean, comfortable, accommodating, fun and adventurous. We will definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation!!

First Sandals experience, well worth the little extra you pay. Staff was the key, Damion at the poolside bar was mixing up drinks at an expert level. Hetra the hostess at Gordon’s topped off our vacation because we were stuck an extra day due to airline issues. She was gracious, understanding and kind. The location is beautiful with tons of things to do close by. Would have been a 5, however went to go scuba diving, I’m certified…lady there asked about when I dove last, I told her 4 months ago in Turks, then proceeded to ask me about a log book etc. told her it was in the notes on my phone. Then got a lecture that SSI has an on line logbook, dive shops have a number assigned to them etc. I’ve been diving for 23 years, seemed to me “the free diving” was being limited by this. Did not even want to dive afterwords.

Dinner at the Pavilion January 3,2026. Food was better than expected for a restaurant not requiring a reservation. Filet and shrimp Thermidor is spot on, at least this night. The best part was the service. Our waitress, Stacy, was as friendly as could be and had an amazing attitude. Excellent service, with an assist from Aston Martin, who also had a great attitude and was as kind as could be. Of all the restaurants we have been to at Sandals thus far, definitely the best experience.
