Sandals Grande St. Lucian

We recently returned from an incredible stay at Sandals Grande St. Lucian, and we truly enjoyed every part of the experience. From the beautiful setting and crystal-clear water to the level of service throughout the resort, it was a first-class trip from start to finish. One of the highlights of our stay was the diving program. The entire dive team made the experience outstanding. A special thank you to Brandon, Fletcher, Derrick, Marcus, Ken, Rochelle, Pam, Ron, Rusty, Carolla, and Casey. Each of them was professional, patient, and safety-focused while still making every dive relaxed and enjoyable. Their organization, attention to detail, and positive attitudes made us feel comfortable whether gearing up on the dock or descending into the water. The dive operation ran smoothly every day, equipment was well maintained, and the briefings were clear and thorough. The team created a welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the incredible reefs and marine life St. Lucia has to offer. Overall, we had an amazing experience and are already looking forward to returning. If you’re considering Sandals Grande St. Lucian—especially if you plan to dive—you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Our wedding at Sandals Grande St. Lucian was truly the most incredible experience, and we could not be more grateful to the entire team who made our week so special. From the moment our family and friends arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, relaxed, and taken care of. Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but the team at Sandals made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. A very special thank you to Monica and Tayo from the wedding team. Their organization, kindness, and attention to detail made our wedding day absolutely perfect. They handled everything with such professionalism and warmth, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment. We truly felt like we were in the best hands. Another huge thank you to Oma in the hair salon, who did an incredible job. She made everyone feel comfortable and confident, and our hair turned out beautifully for the big day. She was calm, talented, and such a joy to spend the morning with. Finally, we want to thank every member of the Sandals Grande staff. From the restaurants and bars to housekeeping, transportation, and the resort team, everyone treated our family and friends with such kindness and care. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the service was and how memorable the entire trip felt. Our wedding week was more than we could have ever imagined. The beautiful setting, the incredible staff, and the attention to every detail made it truly unforgettable. We will cherish these memories forever and cannot wait to return to Sandals Grande St. Lucian someday. Thank you for helping create the most magical wedding celebration we could have hoped for.

We’re sadly on our flight home from the Sandals Grande St. Lucian. This was our first time to stay at a Sandal’s property and we much enjoyed being there with another couple. The trip from the airport to the resort is long and winding so we pre-booked the Fun to See boat to the resort to start our vacay. It was a smaller boat with a fun crowd, free-flowing Piton beer, snacks, and an awesome crew with pumping tunes and info on what we were seeing along the way. Arrival at the resort started with a welcome song from the Sandal’s welcoming team and then our butler escorted us to check in and then straight to our room. We had a couple of room hiccups on night one with our AC not cooling and the safe not working but Nathan from maintenance arrived quickly and fixed both issues promptly. Our butler suite was large and well appointed with two full baths, one with a soaking tub and both with large showers, a living room, and a large balcony with bed swing, lounging chaise for two, and chairs. We received exceptional service from our butlers Michelle, Jackie, and Giselle and not only appreciated how well they truly pampered us but also truly enjoyed getting to know them each and hearing about why they work at Sandals. These ladies acted as a super-synchronized team, communicating daily what we liked and was meaningful to us, and thinking ahead about what we may need. We’d highly recommend booking a butler-level room as, in addition to them mastering our dining reservations, even when changes were needed, they also reserved the same, prime-location chairs at the beach or the pool for us everyday, providing us an ice chest stocked with cold drinks, and checking on us throughout the day. They even brought us lunch so that we could dine at our beach chairs and had a light snack each afternoon in our room as we cleaned up for dinner. Overall, the resort food was good but not great. Our dinner at Toscanini’s was delicious, dinner at Soy was spectacular, but we wouldn’t recommend Gordon’s except for the beautiful sunset view. When we compare the resort food against other all-inclusives or cruises we’ve done, we felt the food was fine but not outstanding. With that said, we certainly didn’t go hungry! There’s plenty of activities and quite fun entertainment so you can truly do as much or as little as you prefer. Go to the Country show!! The guy that sings all of the country songs is excellent and we danced the night away. The Burlesque show was great and you could tell that the Entertainment team works hard to serve their guests. The fitness center was filled with truly anything you’d need to keep up your fitness routine. We didn’t do any excursions as most of them required significant travel to and fro and we didn’t want to give up our precious beach time as their beach is truly stunning with soft, walkable sand and warm water. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacay and talked about doing Sandals again sometime with our friends. Our trip ended with a farewell song from the team and a delightful Sandal’s shuttle drive back to the airport. Larry, our driver, educated us in this beautiful island all the way back to the airport, mastering the twisted roads while checking on guests regularly who have motion sickness. Larry truly ended our Sandal’s Grande St. Lucian experience with a five-star tour back to the airport. Thank you Sandal’s Grande St. Lucian team, Michelle, Jackie, and Giselle for a truly magical vacation!

Beautiful location with great beaches. Calm and clear water. Negative is the hour and half drive to airport and long distance to excursions. Appreciated the private Sandals lounge at the airport. Beautiful setting and landscaping. Everything was clean. Very relaxing and calm. Rooms were spacious and very nice decor. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Felt pampered even without the butler service. Really enjoyed the day activities and the nightly entertainment. Overall the food was delicious. Appreciated the wide variety of cuisine. Well worth the money spent.

The resort is in a beautiful, breathtaking location. The landscaping, rooms, restaurants, etc.. were all top shelf. Many different activities are available whether you're into golfing, water sports or simply relaxing. The staff were all excellent. Many of the meals were amazing. I would have given it a 5 star review except for some major annoyances: A loudspeaker at the main pool that was overly loud and was in use most of the afternoon. This drove us far, far away. Although they publish strict rules about not reserving lounge chairs, nonetheless, guests would throw their towel and a book on a chair in the early a.m. and not show up for many hours. Their rule was never enforced. Sandals offers a variety of top shelf liquors but only serves the very cheapest wine by the glass, unless, of course, you're willing to buy a bottle (at typical restaurant pricing). Not ideal where only one person is a wine drinker and you're expecting a first class, all inclusive experience. The drive to and from the airport is long (nearly two hours) and tiresome. Although we didn't come to watch television, the channel selection was extremely limited. The complaints might sound petty, but they spoiled what could have been a perfect vacation.
