Sandals Grande St. Lucian

At Top Notch resort. Beautiful, pristine beach, crystal clear water, amazing rooms, fine dining at restaurants and the staff who made it all come together beautifully.

We and 6 friends are just home from a wonderful vacation at the Sandals Grande St. Lucia. We spent 2 weeks, friends a week/10 days. The setting, food, rooms, staff, views, entertainment, etc. etc. were spectacular. We were pleased to find 4 new pickleball courts which we all used often. We appreciated the pickleball pro, Norman who made it that much more fun. Our first week was in a swim out room, loved it. The 2nd was the rondoval with butlers. We are giving a shout out to our 3 amazing butlers - Clyns, Bailey and Shanne. Thanks to them for their attentive and very friendly service.

We've been to several Sandals resorts, yet St. Lucia Grand stood out mainly because of the kind, caring and compassionate workers. So many did an outstanding job and I hope we have remembered all of them: Cijay (server at Gordons on Tuesday 3/10 and 3/17) – professional, courteous, made you want to return and request him as a waiter Nataliea (French restaurant manager Thursday 3/12 )– courteous, made sure our needs were taken care of, friendly, fun Kate (Club Sandals St. Lucia) – on day 8 of our trip, Kate recalled us from the first day, provided great service ( we needed a few things in our room), another friendly face from ST., Lucia Sharlene (manager at Kelly’s Dockside Wednesday 3/11) – Formerly from Grand now at Halycon, said to say hi to her friends at The Grand, made us feel welcome and valued Kermit and crew – best snorkel trip from Sandals ever! They showed their concern for our safety, provided crew in the water to show interesting marine life, were genuinely fun and enjoyable Troyane (3/14 Pizza man) – we asked for a special pizza and Troyane not only made the pizza perfectly, but he hand delivered to us with an extremely positive attitude! Fay (3/5-3/19) – a sweet delight every time we saw her delivering beverages by the pool in the afternoon or morning coffee at Toscanini’s, the Italian breakfast spot Lydia (3/18) – a competent, no-nonsense manager of Toscanini’s, the Italian restaurant for breakfast. Lydia has a team that works together to provide a pleasant and friendly breakfast for guest. Absolutely delightful! Victuy Arthis(?), chef of the ‘Barefoot’ restaurant so delightful. He shared a recipe with me and gave me a few cooking tips as well. This was my favorite restaurant at St. Lucia (and actually of all the restaurants we’ve been to at Sandals). The food was delicious and spiced perfectly and of course you can’t beat the scenery! Denzel of Loyalty and Travel – Denzel was competent and friendly. He provided the information we needed t make our decision and even tried to assist with any technical questions we encountered _ There was one person that stood out from all the rest (but not in a pleasant way but exactly the opposite): The female employee from Loyalty and Travel – she was curt and actually unfriendly, not provide a friendly environment (definitely doesn’t incent one to re-up for another vacation at Sandals). Rather we made sure to return when another, much friendlier employee could help us

We visited the last week of Feb 2026, for our 23rd Wedding anniversary. The weather was good, not too cold, but the water was a challenge to get into, but tolerable. Service was excellent, and they catered to our every need. ie: sitting in preferred seating and making unique drinks of choice. Note that St Lucia is not flat like any other Caribbean island. It takes about 2 hrs to get to/from the Airport. We went ahead and paid for the private conveyance. Well worth it, as its a luxury car/SUV and personal conveyance with the driver to tell us about the island. Some folks to take note of while at this resort: Bartender: Randy. He is AWSOME, always has a smile on his face and genuinely loves bartending. Photographers: Neah, Shaquan, Delon, & Lenny The Photograph attendant was phenomenal: Amanda!! She was able to see things in our photos that we didn't notice; and she helped us select the best photo's for our album. With regards to the Spa. We didn't know the steam room and dry sauna are free for use, and found out the day before we departed. You have to check them out while you are there. We did opt for a massage each. We got Wanda and Kaydine. Kadine has hands of an angel and will make you feel like you are floating out of your body. All in all it was a pleasure to visit here. Please check out the excursion (on Thursday's) called Sandals Foundation "Reading Road Trip". It's an initiative that helps improve literacy skills while offering a meaningful way to give back during your vacation.

My husband, William, and I stayed at Sandals Grande in St. Lucia from March 11-19, 2026. This was our second visit to this particular resort, and our third visit to a Sandals. Overall, this resort is absolutely beautiful. However, the real treat there is how the people who work there make you feel. Everyone, and I mean everyone, bends over backwards to help out, accommodate, show care and compassion, and fulfill the every whim, or need, of the clientele. Of course, there are too many to name specifically, but here are some that really deserve praise and accolades: Generally, the water sports crew were extremely friendly and helpful. Jonas and Temesha cleaned the pool outside of our swim up accommodations. It's not easy to keep up with all the things that can land in a pool, but they did an amazing job. The housekeepers who took care of our room were Anna and Cecelia. Not only did they make sure the porch was kept clean, but they added special touches to the room by creating "sculptures" out of the towels + flower petals to decorate the bed. Dina and Lisa, (in culinary), & Larry and Raul (managers) bent over backwards to help me with my specific dietary needs on a daily basis. They went above and beyond. Yasmine (hostess at Gordon's), Avernel Altenor (waitress at Gordon's) were both very helpful and made sure that I had food that jived with my dietary needs. Finally, Toscannini's was our favorite restaurant. Everyone there was as sweet as could be: Fey has a wonderful attitude! Delia made sure that we had the exact table that would make us happy and even checked on us after we were seated. Julita handled the front desk with precision and expediency. Lydia was always on hand to make sure that things were going smoothly and that we had everything we could possibly want or need. Dione (mgr) outdid herself in making sure that my dietary needs were met. Last, but not least, I have to mention Kenya. From the very beginning of our vacation, it seems as though she had adopted us. A sweeter, more accommodating person cannot be found at Sandals. On our last day, when we came for breakfast, and to say good bye, Kenya hugged us both. One would have thought that we were family. She is just so special!!! I am not sure if people who work in the jewelry store or who drive the cars to the airport are in the Sandals purview, but I would like to add Kira Lee and Dania Alphonse in the jewelry store who were both professional, friendly, and sweet. Also, Albert Clovis who drove us from the airport on day 1 and then back at the end of our stay. He wonderfully tried to reduce the side effects of the winding roads to and from the airport.
