My husband and I felt spoiled by the Sandals staff the moment we stepped onto resort property. From start to finish we felt treated like royalty. The quality, variety and deliciousness of food was wonderful. Sandals Grande provided many options which we were satisfied with, but enjoyed the option to bus over to another resort if desired. The drinks were always great made by fun bartenders. The gorgeous pool was very clean, and we always found a spot to land for the day. Our top level room with a beach view was everything we dreamed of. Perfect for watching sunsets. We really enjoyed our honeymoon candlelight dinner. Our sweet waitress made us feel so special. I wish I could remember her name because she was wonderful. Sandals Grande St. Lucia was truly the perfect honeymoon spot. My husband and I say it was the best week 2nd to our wedding, of course.

First and foremost, every waitperson was wonderful! They were always friendly and smiling and helpful. Having said that, this resort was extremely understaffed. A 45 minute wait for a sit down breakfast! Not because it was crowded but because there was no staff! Each person had multiple roles at multiple locations around the resort and were spread very thin. Sandals can do better. We paid extra for an ocean view… the view is a parking lot, a street, a fence and then if you look through the trees, you may get a glimpse of the ocean. We were told we should’ve requested “beach view”. So beware. It was deceptive and bogus. We are loyalty members and the loyalty staff was absolutely no help whatsoever. We had to continually ask for our water to be replenished. No beer. No white wine. Had to continually ask for those, as well. Our air conditioning never worked properly. We will not return to this resort. Read less

Beautiful resort! We stayed for 7 days! We had the butler suite that had a private pool & hot tub! Our butlers were phenomenal! Shout out to Clynns, Giselle & Mel! They made our stay so comfortable. We will definitely be back & requesting our butlers again ❤️

We have stayed at many of the Sandals, and 2 of 3 Beaches. This resort was definitely on the upper end of them. A few of the employees stood out.

We have stayed at many of the Sandals, and 2 of 3 Beaches. This resort was definitely on the upper end of them. A few of the employees stood out. Antonius (one of the Butlers) was very kind and helpful. I ran into him a few times out and about, and he always took the time to give information, and one of the times walked me to the area I was looking for. He remembered my name and I only introduced myself the first time we met. He was great, very nice! Randy the Bar tender was also great. He was very observant! He would tend to the guests in the order they arrived at the bar, and remembered people's preferences. His accurate recollection of people's drinks wowed quite a few guests, myself included. These two great people, made us guests feel like individuals and seen. Not "just another guest"! Read less

I’m not one to let perfect be the enemy of good and just want to leave an honest review. The staff is fantastically pleasant and it doesn’t feel “put on” in any way. The employees don’t just interact with guests and “deal” with each other, they seem to honestly like each other as well. There is always friendly banter and gentle ribbing going on… Read more
I’m not one to let perfect be the enemy of good and just want to leave an honest review. The staff is fantastically pleasant and it doesn’t feel “put on” in any way. The employees don’t just interact with guests and “deal” with each other, they seem to honestly like each other as well. There is always friendly banter and gentle ribbing going on between them and that leads to a more at home feeling for me. They went out of their way to ensure that my groups’ Sunday football game away from home was very enjoyable. We asked them to bring us extra bottled beer to the room and they certainly did… the found the only broken topped igloo cooler on the resort, stuffed it with 36 bottles of beer and ice, and surprised us by also bringing a ton of typical American “football” foods (enough for 20!) along with the beer! It was a great touch! We were club level so not sure if non-club level would receive that but I doubt they would deny anyone if it meant they were making you happy. The areas that could use improvement are all in the “little details”. For instance, we utilized the room service many times and if we asked for something like a condiment on the side it often wouldn’t show up. Sometimes actual food items themselves just wouldn’t be present. Show stopper? Heck no, just happened more often than not. Our friends room wasn’t cleaned on two of our seven days even after requesting it when they realized it wasn’t going to happen on its own on those days. Also their sliding glass door needed to be repaired.. it wouldn’t budge without two fighting it from each side. They told them about the problem and also that we wouldn’t be on premises for the next two days so having someone in the room for an extended period of time wouldn’t be a problem and the door was never addressed. Again, not a show stopper but that was fairly annoying for them to deal with the whole week. While Sandals isn’t the “Top of the Line” resort they are more expensive than many other resort chains and so some of those issues wouldn’t be expected. All in all a great experience! Read less
