Sandals Grande St. Lucian

We had 14 glorious days at the Grande St Lucian again. This was our 10th stay at the Grande & as always we had a fantastic time. Upon arrival we found out that 3 out of the 6 accommodation blocks were being refurbished & due to open on the last day of our stay. This meant that occupancy was low at 40%, which we found very nice as it was relatively quiet around the resort. Our Caribbean walkout deluxe room was cleaned daily & well stocked, thank you housekeeping. It was my wife's 60th birthday whilst we were there, and we were able to arrange dinner at Gordon's (with the help of Wendy & Kareem) with all of our staff friends. It was a great night. A big thank you to everyone who helped to organise it & to Winston for taking time out to dine with us to. As always, we had a great fun with all the staff, especially Eva, Gania, Gregory & Denson in the Olde Pub, Remy, Matthew, Neil & all the guys at the beach & lobby bars. Front of house, Kadijah & Jacqueline were great. A big thank you to Nadia who made sure everything was just perfect for us. Thanks to Clifford, who was very approachable for any questions we had. Neville, Anderson, Cassius & all the entertainment guys & girls were fantastic & put on great shows as always. All the restaurant staff including Tessa, Lisa, Pamela, Julita, Harish & Philip to name a few, made our dining experience all the better for them being there. Travis & all the garden staff who keep the grounds looking immaculate. All the dive team & water sports. Thank you to Terrol & Termesha for organising the boat trip, great fun! Last but not least, Wendy, who has become a very good friend over the years & always makes time to chat & check everything is ok with us. A massive thank you to everyone at the Grande, you guys always make our stay so memorable & great fun. See you all next year!

Excellent honeymoon destination, our butlers Luther, and Tamara were great and made it a very restful and fun stay for busy people like us.

Highly recommend - we had a wonderful trip and the staff was amazing. Special shout outs to servers Tasha, Shane, Sandy, and Janelle in the spa. A++

My Husband and I visited the Grande St. Lucia for 7 nights and had the BEST TIME! We have visited 3 Sandals resorts and this is by far our favorite. One thing that makes this resort so special is the staff. Specifically Claudia, Denson, Oreion, and Kareem the dream. They all took the time out of their day to make sure we were having a great time and make us feel special. The resort itself is a bit dated but currently going through renovations so we look forward to returning once that is complete. I enjoyed a massage with Cynthia at the spa, she is truly talented. All of the food we had was delicious especially the lamb at Bayside and the Indian at Bombay. We can’t wait to return!

We visited Sandals Grande St. Lucia this past February and had a lovely time overall, though there were a few areas that could be improved. The resort itself is beautiful, but we noticed some challenges with the beach chair system. By our third day, we realized that many guests were arranging to reserve their preferred spots early, which made it a bit difficult to find available seating along the beach. We also noticed the atmosphere felt quite busy, though this seemed more related to the mix of guests rather than the resort itself. We did our best to enjoy the various amenities, though we found that restaurant reservations worked similarly to specialty dining on a cruise ship and required some advance planning. The food was pleasant, though it didn't quite reach the elevated level we had anticipated given the resort's reputation. During our stay, there happened to be an annual staff celebration taking place near our room, which was quite lively and went on for a while in the evening. Despite these minor challenges, we truly appreciated the natural beauty of the island itself. St. Lucia is absolutely stunning, and we would definitely consider returning to explore other properties. The sunsets were breathtaking and the water activities were wonderful highlights of our trip. While the price point is on the higher side, we feel there's room for the experience to better match the investment. If we were to try Sandals again, we'd be interested in visiting the Halcyon property, which had a more relaxed atmosphere when we stopped by during our stay.
