Me and my husband went to the Sandals Grande for our honeymoon. We had the absolute best time! Our room was nice and had an amazing view of the main pool and ocean. We enjoyed the nightly entertainment, the Burlesque show was my favorite. My absolute favorite part of the trip was the activities in the main pool everyday. I had a blast playing trivia and charades! I also want to give honorable mentions to Fenella, Neville, Tamika, Diva, Zion, and most definitely Peter at the pool bar! Peter is incredible and all of his “Peter Special” drinks were so good. I would 10/10 recommend this resort and island. We had a great time on the island tours excursion seeing the waterfall and the Pitons and the mud baths. The only downside is the drive to and from the resort to the airport, but I took dramamine on the ride back to the airport and I did fine. Read less

We had an amazing honeymoon at the Grande! Beach: absolutely unmatched! I’ve never been to a more idyllic beach, we truly could’ve spent all day on the beach and in the water.

We had an amazing honeymoon at the Grande! Beach: absolutely unmatched! I’ve never been to a more idyllic beach, we truly could’ve spent all day on the beach and in the water. Food: we were a little disappointed with some of the food options - nothing was bad per se, but a lot of the options were very average. Our favorite BY FAR was Bombay, the Indian restaurant. The service was by far the best we experienced and the food was phenomenal! We ended up forgoing our reservation on the last night of our trip to go back. Overall I would say the sushi restaurant (soy), hibachi (kimonos) and Bombay - which are all located in the same area - were the best experience from a dining perspective. The rest of the meal options seemed to be from most of the same kitchen and the options got a bit redundant (you’d get chocolate cake at one restaurant that was the exact same with a different garnish at the next.) Room/Butler: our butler team went above and beyond!! They made the butler suite worth it for us. They took care of grabbing us spots on the beach, made our reservations, brought us food and drink throughout the day and even decorated our room several nights for our honeymoon. I will say that the Tranquility Soaking tub that we got with our room went relatively unused because we generally were warm during the day / would’ve preferred the hot tub in the evenings. When filled it had a yellow color, which was just the color of the tub I believe, but it just looked a little suspect and wasn’t exciting us. Activities: we would recommend JJs speedboat tours!! Queen B and her team were so much fun and it was a great way to see the island. We also had a great time renting a jet ski right on the beach at sandals. The massage I received from Cynthia was amazing!! I definitely recommend spa treatments. Entertainment on the resort property was so much fun, we saw two different performances: the water and fire show and the fire dancers. Overall I would definitely recommend sandals st Lucia for your honeymoon! Grande is the best resort in my opinion due to the beach, since we are such huge beach people. We booked a week and it was the perfect length stay. Read less

We got a bungalow over the water. We also opted for the white-glove butler service. I highly recommend you try it. The only thing is, now that we have experienced it, it will be hard to go back to self service. They sent a private car (Lexus) to pick us up from the airport.

We got a bungalow over the water. We also opted for the white-glove butler service. I highly recommend you try it. The only thing is, now that we have experienced it, it will be hard to go back to self service. They sent a private car (Lexus) to pick us up from the airport. The driver was also really knowledgeable about the island (my husband likes to ask a lot of questions). When we arrived, they met us at the car, got our luggage out of the car and brought the luggage to our bungalow. They would even unpack it for us if we wanted. We had 3 personal butlers that worked different shifts (Bernard, Lana & Tamara). They all worked together to do special, personalized things that made our trip special. We also had a private butler phone that we could text with excursion, spa or restaurant ideas & they would make it happen. If we had a spa appointment at 11:00am, they would text a reminder & come to the bungalow at 10:50am to walk us to the spa. We could order breakfast, lunch or dinner served in our room or on our private deck. Our room also has a see-through section of floor at the foot of the bed so you can watch the fish. We came back to the bungalow one night and they had decorated our room for my birthday. They are always leaving snacks or desserts for us during the day and before bedtime. They also do a turndown service. The spa is wonderful, Yolanda is amazing! This island is gorgeous. Highly recommend you give it a try!! Read less

They constantly checked on us and had great recommendations for drinks and food from the different restaurants. The food was excellent and the rooms were cleaned every day for us! We couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon experience! We cant wait to come back and visit y'all again! Read less

We are long time visitors to Sandals before and after Covid, and this was one of my favorite trips. Probably because the St. Lucia Grande location is sooooo beautiful!!!! But also, we found that the hospitality staff was very friendly, and took care of us at almost every level on this trip. We stayed in a Beachfront Walkout room, Club level, and had the room on the end closest to the middle of the resort. Great view! But not quiet. You hear the footsteps above and the carts in the hall. They do try to keep it down until after 7am. Loved the view of the beach and sunset. Close to everything and the elevators (which was wonderful for me, in recovery from surgery. Right up to the lobby and activities.) The bar, restaurant, and entertainment staff was the highlight. The playmakers did their jobs! (Ignore spellings.) Thank you to Finella, Diva, Tamika, Cassius, Mocha and Leanna (and one more I can call "Rush Hour" - sorry!) worked from sunup to sundown to entertain us. But the most special was NEVILLE. He was always there to check on me and ensure that I was included. Thank you!! Also, a should out to Susanne in Toscannini's for getting a special dinner expedited, Remy at the Beach bar, Johnice at all the bars and all of the other bar staffs for working harder than anywhere else I have been in the past several years. Best service for sure. As for a few other things. Was the resort perfect? No. We had some issues with the fridge, but we called and they fixed them asap. We didn't get towels every day. They would take them, but not replace them. Lots of people said it! And we didn't always get sodas or wine or champagne in the fridge. We had to GO and get it many days. That mattered to us. And no blue floaties. All of them were sitting at the swim ups, NOT BEING USED, ever! There were 40 of them just sitting still. So sad. :( We earned our free week while there this week. I went to Loyalty and Travel severl times and confirmed it before the big dinner or we would not have gone and wasted a night on the resort in a conference room. But when we got there, they did not call our names for the award. I asked the GM Mike about it, and he just said, "I don't know about those things." I was completely upset. A woman came to the table with a paper and ANNOUNCED I was wrong and we did not qualify. I was embarassed! So, I had to go back the next day and spend more time getting this corrected. Sandals had deleted one of my trips before the dinner. It had been there, but was removed. Doesn't make any sense, other than to avoid giving out the free week? Like I wouldn't know? Anyway, it got resolved and I got it, but I did not really get an apology, or recognition. It took 25 years to get it. Not sure it will happen again. I will not be booking through Loyalty and Travel again. The food was just... Meh. We are not foodies, but the menus were not interesting, and the food was not the best, or not good sometimes. I got tired of getting most meals served with mashed potatos and one carrot piece and one asparagus. Weird. We ate plenty, but please get a chef to come and revamp the menus!! It's time for an upgrade. I did ask for lobster at Gordons, in advance, and it was served. Yay! We scheduled the helicopter trasport to the resort as we got in before 1pm. It was awesome. We used the Ferry to return to the airport as the time worked for us, and that was an amazing trip as well. I recommend using one each way to extend the trip and consider them excursions. So worth it. We also hiked the park next to the resort one day and that was a great day too. Took about 90 minutes. I have a foot injury and was able to do it in serious shoes. Bring water, and $10 cash/pp. We are going to return to Sandals, and might return here. The location was AMAZING, and the people were great. Management needs to step it up a bit to match the energy of the staff that we met, and then it will be perfect. Read less
