After our disastrous stay at LaToc, this was an improvement. The resort was more on brand. The butlers, Kenwin, Amos and Shay were amazing! The server we had at Gordon's Tasia (sp.) was awesome!

The most luxurious and beautiful resort we have stayed at yet. The service was absolutely amazing. The staff were so helpful and kind. Food was excellent and the drinks flowed all day with anything you wanted. We visited all 3 sandals resorts in St. Lucia. They were all so equally amazing and beautiful. They each offer a little different aspect of the island. The pools were heavenly and the spa was beautiful. My massage was so relaxing. My absolute favorite was the catamaran tours. The snorkeling was amazing and I got to see so many fish. We snorkeled in 3 locations and toured the island from the sea. What a beautiful perspective. We ended up booking a second snorkeling trip because we had so much fun. This should definitely be on your list. We also hiked the little park beside the grand. It was very safe and a nice historic throw back. This island should be on your bucket list! Read less

The food is just ok and we had trouble with the air conditioning in one room that never got fixed but the team at the beach made it a wonderful and memorable stay. Read less

My wife and I were there from 12/16-12/23 This was our first trip going to a sandals resort and it was 100% worth it. Let’s start at the beginning. We decided to do the helicopter transfer after arriving and it was amazing. So worth the price alone. We got lucky and there was another couple who was already in the lounge waiting so we were waiting maybe 5-10 minutes before we were whisked away. The views were incredible and we made it to the resort by 4:45pm (about 15 mins in the shuttle to resort). We booked club level for our 7 night stay and made the arrival so special. We were greeted by cold towel and a song haha and brought up to the lounge to relax with champagne and check in. I’d say having club level and being able to book reservations right there was worth it alone with the convenience. Our room was one floor below the lounge and we were given a room tour from someone (I can’t remember but he was good) Now for some quick highlights Golfing: the greens were quick but nothing too bad. We went twice and had a great time both times. No complaints Beach Cabana: we rented one and it was nice to have butler service for a day. A bit pricey but honestly having your own shaded space on the beach was nice. You get it from 9am-5pm and they bring you drinks and food from the restaurants that are open and it was quick! Along with a cooler filled with drinks it made for a relaxing lazy day. Jet-skis/Sailing: they are on the beach next to all the sandals watersports that are included but Jet-skis are not included. Really expensive, they were about $400 for an hour for both of us to rent one. However, my wife had a blast and you can go pretty fast 😅, if you can afford to spend it, it makes for a pretty fun time. We also did the sailboat and after doing a quick training on how to use it we were off. The watersports guy helping us was Alex and he was awesome. So friendly and helpful and patient. We were chatting it up with him while waiting for a boat (it was popular day when we went) JJ’s speedboat: DO IT, I cannot stress this enough. It was so much fun, we had a great group of couples as well on our boat and just made it 100% better. The mud baths and waterfall was amazing and snorkeling was great. The rum punch was so strong we were all drunk singing songs by the time lunch came around. Buffet was excellent, my wife was happy they had two options chicken or fish. (She is allergic to fish). After lunch we all got in the pool and sang more songs (even got them to play colt 45 😅 which everybody loved). My only complainant would be they only played like the first two minutes of each song haha but other than that 10/10 Restaurants: We went to all of them except for soy and each one was excellent in its own way. Our favorite was probably Tuscany’s, Gordon’s and the Pizza place. The steak and lamb at Gordon was one of the best I have had in a while. My wife loved the pizza place. Ferry: We did the ferry leaving the island and they picked us up at 10:35am and our flight was at 2:45pm. Luckily we weren’t checking any bags and we got fast track and didn’t have any stops after picking us up from the resort. Made it to the airport by 1:10pm and at the gate by 1:30pm. I wouldn’t recommend cutting it this close because I was stressing the whole time on the ferry 😅 but we made it. Besides that, the ferry was fun and great sights! The Staff: Remy, Remy, Remy! Did we mention Remy? He was the bartender at the beach bar and he was simply spectacular. On Tuesday we saw him make his signature drink and everyday there on we were there getting it haha. We would come up to the bar and he would already start making it before we even asked. He was so kind and friendly and on our last day he made the drink one last time right when the bar opened and chased us down to hand it to us 😂. This man deserves all the raises and then some 😎. All of the staff was great that we saw. Everytime we passed somebody they were friendly and welcoming. If you choose to get a massage, you won’t have a problem with finding someone haha, they will come up to you everyday asking if you have one booked or if you are interested. I wouldn’t say pushy but be ready to be asked everyday you are there. Read less
