Sandals Grande St. Lucian was nothing short of incredible! The staff there is AMAZING! We have so many people that we encountered that made an impact on us. Our favorite bartenders were Novon & Remy. They each went above and beyond to make sure we had great service! Anisa at the emerald shop was very kind & helpful when my husband was purchasing a watch. Mary Ann at the gift shop was so great!! I enjoyed talking to her several times during our stay - she always made sure we felt at home when shopping! Yannick was a WONDERFUL photographer and made our session so fun and unforgettable. Our two butlers, Gemma and Nyhim were incredible. I don’t have enough kind words to say about either of them. The butler service they proved went above and beyond any Sandals expectation I had going in! Neville and Abby were great and so fun around the pool each day. They are a part of the entertainment crew & made sure everyone was having a great time. Food: There was not a single meal my husband and I didn’t love. He has celiac and every single person made sure he was taken care of. My favorite meal was from Toscanini’s! Drinks: AHH. The best part. The drinks are never ending & always so good. My husband enjoyed trying different whiskeys while I enjoyed trying an array of drinks. My favorite drink was the dirty banana. I also enjoyed the specials at the restaurants each evening. Entertainment: The entertainment team is wonderful!! We loved loved loved the burlesque show. Music at night was always a hit! We also enjoyed the games each day by the pool. Excursions: JJ’s was the highlight of the trip! The entire experience was great. Lunch was ehhhh, but I’m picky. Other than that, I would highly recommend it. We also enjoyed the aqua center stuff at the resort. The hobie cat was awesome. Kayaking and snorkeling were just as fun! We also hiked Pigeon Island. The views were incredible! Our bungalow was incredible! If you can splurge to stay in this room, I highly recommend it. With that being said, that was a once in a lifetime thing for us & nothing we would do again. It was great, but money could be spent elsewhere. Having a private area & lily pad in the ocean was great. We even had a kayak delivered to our bungalow for the day! We chose not to book again. I’m sure we will in the future, but for now we plan to explore other areas of the United States before venturing back out to the Caribbean. The discount was 10%, 11% or 12% based on the room category when you book there. They can combine it with the military discount if that’s something you qualify for! Overall we are highly satisfied & would come back…but not before crossing some other things off of our travel bucket list! 😜 Read less

The lounge in the airport was welcoming! Due to the long ride that took 2 hrs. the only suggestion I would make would be to provide some fruits and sandwiches to their guest. On arrival to the resort the staff greeted us with smiles and a song! The concierge Kavel came over to us with our room key and provided us with information about the resort as we walked over to our room. We were truly taken back with all the attention from the following staff at this beautiful resort. First I will start with Milagro, the grounds manager for keeping her word on providing us with a special food request through the culinary staff Chef Renee! That evening we visited the Barefoot Restaurant and had the pleasure of being served by Laurin. Her hospitality went above and beyond. Security Officer Curtis was of the most friendliest and took his job serious. We met "Nat" unfortunately we don't know his full name but he worked in different capacities on the grounds! He also went above and beyond for us! Christi, for her professionalism and smiles during checkout! Sharlane for continued care and ability to remember both my husband's name and I everyday showed that she cared and loved her job! Eddie thank you for supplying the towels! There are many more hospitable staff that we can't specifically name. All in all we felt important, pampered and welcomed by all! Sandals Grande St. Lucian should be honored to have such attentive staff! We will definitely return and recommend to others to visit! Read less

I came as a tag along for my wife's 25th high school reunion. One of the management staff took notice of the t-shirts and asked if our group would set aside one night and let them do something for us. We were not expecting much other than a private table for dinner. When we arrived the staff researched the school colors and decorated the room in those colors. They aslo got pictures online from yearbook, printed them out and posted them on the tables. They were able to see there signatures from high school and many of there pictures. Lastly, they baked a cake and decorated it with the school mascot. This was all done at no fee. We could not say thank you enough. The water sport amenities were amazing. Water skiing instructors are patient. The sail boat instructors were great as well as the kayaking. Food was amazing and all the staff was very welcoming. I could not recomment Grande St. Lucia Sandals enough. They were the best. Read less

This resort was an amazing experience. The beach was beautiful and the service was top notch! I highly recommend the raindrop massage! It was one of the best massages I’ve ever had and Alaysia and Minerva were amazing. Also, treating a cabana is a must do
