Sandals Grande St. Lucian

As with all Sandals resorts delivered on promise. The staff are incredibly nice, polite, friendly and know their business. Special mention: Ron ( ents manager). Sharma at Bayside, Leona also of Bayside. Yvonne who I believe is employed as a casual currently. She puts in a professional shift. Julieta of Toscaninis also the barman of the same restaurant. We had dinners at Kimonos, Bombarded and Gordon's with excellent service from the staff. Clean and safe facilities. The service could be quicker at Barefoot but otherwise great. Thoroughly and fully recommend it.

we are trying to book our honeymoon here. We hav paid over $4k for three nights. I just got off the phone with them (unintelligent to be kind) and they don't understand why i can't upload a pic of our marriage certificate because their website only accepts 3mb. like wtaf.... you purposefully make your uploading capability less than a pic from a phne to make it impossin=ble for people to get you $6 BOTTLE OF FREE CHAMPANGE???? Seriously, you can keep it. and in return, I will tell every person i know to never book a sandals resort vacation like,,,,,,,,,,, EVER, and find people who actually speak english to speak to people from the US. not ignorant low wage employees that can barely communicate... book with resorts directly!!!!!!! Screw Sandals!

We stayed with friends for the first time in St. Lucia. Our main resort was Sandals La Toc. We also went twice to the other resort - Sandals Grande St. Lucian. Ya' pretty incredible. We loved our resort. This one had a different vibe completely. That is so fun. I just wanted to say that again, the staff were amazing and helpful. When we were trying to find one of the restaurants, one of the photographers actually walked us to it. She was so wonderful and I am kicking myself for not remembering her name. But thank you. Also, Tarriq in the Club Sandals lounge. So helpful! He was great, stored our stuff for the day and organized guest rooms to get showered and changed after our day at the beach and pool. The manager - Michael, I believe, came by, chatted with us, asked if there was anything we needed. This was also such a fabulous experience and we just loved it. Sandals - you do an amazing job of providing beautiful resorts, wonderful food, but your staff makes it exceptional. We will be back.

We had another wonder week diving in St Lucia. The reefs were vibrant and healthy. There was abundant marine life. Even in January the water temperature was 82 degrees. The locations is perfect for divers of any level, but the staff is truly what makes us come back year after year. Terrol Compton is the Water Sports Manager and he runs a pretty tight ship in between telling corny Dad Jokes. Marcus, Kerwin and Ken are experienced Dive Instructors who know these waters like the back of their hand. Capt. Fletcher and Capt. Denell got us to and from the dive sites and took excellent care of us during our surface interval. While diving is our main motivation for going to St Lucia, the resort never disappoints. We spend our afternoons at the pool drinking free tequila and watching the games and entertainment. A little nap before supper and off to enjoy a great meal and the evening entertainment. A special shout out to Mary Ann in the gift shop, Lydia at the Italian restaurant, Jessie the world's best pre-dive omelet Chef and Minerva at the spa.

Overall, a great stay at Grande. We have stayed at 4 prior Sandals. From our initial check in where Raquelle was AWESOME, we found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The beach is stunning with calm waters, soft sand, comfy water hammocks to hang out. My husband really enjoyed the included wakeboarding in the bay. Service was great at the swim up and beach bar (Denson, Claudia, Matthew, Imran, and Lucie took very good care of us! And Andre even came to the chairs offering to take orders when he has time!) as well as at Bombay and Soy. The entertainment staff were friendly and engaging but sometimes had a hard time getting participation in activities. My husband lives for beach volleyball and the court/net here were quite poor and only 1 day, could they get 1 other couple to participate so we could have a beach volleyball game. Even pool volleyball was not consistent. Compared to prior Sandals experiences, there were more activities and prizes which maybe would help increase participation? But regardless, Leana, Lemonade, Neville, and Cardius (sp?) were lovely, funny and tried to engage the guests. The beach party with fire dancers was a high point, and the talent of the singers at the Burlesque show was AWESOME. We also enjoyed the piano bar for evening entertainment. The building we stayed in was a bit dated, but clean. We had an ocean view room on the back the building but actually quite enjoyed the ocean view/sounds as opposed to looking at the resort grounds. Last, but not least, Elziko was the wonderful security guard who always remembered our names and took care of us when we walked along the beach and off the resort. All in all, the resort is a bit dated (compared to our last stay in St. Vincent) but still clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and probably the best service I can remember from the bartenders at any Sandals. This is one of my favorite Sandals beaches (maybe 2nd only to Antigua?). A little off topic, but definitely recommend the ferry or helicopter for airport transfers. This resort is FAR from UVF and they are windy roads not for the faint of stomach.
