Thank you Sandals Grande St. Lucia for a wonderful 25 year Anniversary trip! And thank you especially to Nell at the front desk who went over and above the call of duty to help me with some very important special requests. She helped make the stay extra special- five star Customer Service. I also want to send a big thank you to the performance staff. All of the performers were so friendly and kind! The breakfast staff every morning was amazing. Love the pools, the bars, the service, the beach, the fantastic snorkel trip to the Pitons Nd the mud bath was so special. We even took the free van over to the other resort and ended up having an evening there and enjoy enjoying it. Can’t wait to go back again!

The hotel was amazing, great service, great staffs, I had a wonderful experience. The view was amazing, the restaurants each had their unique aura about them, they were all beautiful. The pools and pool bar were great, the bartenders there were all hardworking and amazing. I had a wonderful experience meeting a few of the staffs present. I met Nicketta from Tuscaninis restaurant who was amazing, she had an amazing personality and made me feel right at home. She was so welcoming and warm, very hard working and determined to make us feel so welcomed. It was also my pleasure in meeting Cynthia from house keeping, she was very courteous, warm welcoming and kind to us. She made us feel right at home. I also had the pleasure of meeting Jamie who is the retail manager who was so very welcoming to us. He was a breath of fresh air, he pointed out so many things we could partake of and also made us feel so at home. He was gentle and sweet, I loved coming into contact with him, he made our stay more memorable. Denver who is a bell man was wonderful to us, he was kind and very helpful. He was very informative and sweet. CJ at Gordon's restaurant was also very accommodating and very nice, he was helpful and attended to our needs. So was Phillip, great service from these two. The service there was excellent as well. Sasha from Dinors was great,also courteous, helpful and kind. All was amazing and very nice and welcoming. We felt right at home. Everyone we came across was very nice and helpful. A great experience indeed.

My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Sandals Grande from July 7th-July 14th, 2025. From the minute we entered the hotel, we were sang to (LOL) and received the best hospitality service I have ever experienced in my life. The nightly entertainment was excellent. Nelville “the devil” and Deasia went above and beyond as entertainment hosts the week we stayed. Ton of activities to do daily and the staff checked in several times to ask us if everything was going well. It was unlike anything myself or my husband had ever experienced. Great food options-portions were not too big-so you could still drink and not feel full. I would like to come back in the future-it was the ultimate trip. Every person who works at the hotel had nothing but smiles and great attitudes the entire time.
Read full review- It’s set on its own peninsula, offering a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea, Rodney Beach, and majestic volcanic mountains
- It takes pride as the sole resort with over-the-water bungalows on the island
- Home to the Sandals Golf & Country Club at Cap Estate, designed by golf icon Greg Norman
Where Is Sandals Grande St. Lucian
Many vacationers consider it the best Sandals resort in St. Lucia. Sandals Grande St. Lucian is situated on its peninsula along the Pigeon Island Beach stretch. It serenely sits between the Caribbean Sea and Rodney Bay, which is said to have the calmest waters on the island.
What To Expect
Swim or try different watersports on the resort’s mile-long beach. Then, you can take a break by quietly observing yachts or indulging yourself in the resort’s beautiful vistas. The resort also has 12 restaurants to choose from (including an over-the-water one). At the end of the day, you can unwind at an over-the-water bungalow — a feature you can’t find elsewhere in St. Lucia.
Pros and Cons
The Pros
- Postcard-worthy views and tranquil waters
- Vibrant atmosphere
- Close to the Pigeon Island National Landmark
The Cons
- Extra fees for beach cabanas with concierge
- Demands a lot of walking to explore the resort
- Main pool can be too crowded
What Vacation Experiences It Offers
Sandals Grande St. Lucian is a paradise for the beach lover and the honeymooner. Its over-the-water amenities take you closer to calm St. Lucia waters than any other resort on the island. Besides the standard amenities, optional vacation experiences include a candlelight dinner, a Red Lane spa experience, and a land and catamaran cruise tour.

We chose this resort to celebrate our anniversary, and we had a wonderful time. Our butlers were amazing Oneolla, Shervon and Tyler. SAM from the main pool made our week. This was our 15 trip to sandals and there was no one like SAM (Play Maker) at any of the other resorts. Her energy and her personality was like no other. Destiny and Dylan were also amazing. Captain nick (entertainment team manager) great team you have great job. Patrick (duty manager) it was a pleasure talking to him. Jonathan (Bar Manager) great guy. Sharon (Resort Manager) thank you and your wonderful staff. You have an awesome team and a beautiful resort. Can’t wait to come back. Big Tee & Paulette Varvaro.

We went to Halcyon to celebrate a wedding anniversary. First, the negatives. Housekeeping was a bit inconsistent and the Bistro restaurant service was very slow. That said, there were many more positives at Halcyon to enjoy: - The site is very nice, providing a laid back atmosphere without being boring. - The staff overall was very friendly and accommodating. Would like to go and see them again. - Dylan, Captain Neil, and Samali were amazing activities people and very personable. We enjoyed their presences greatly. - Anna was one of our favorite waitresses, a joy to be around. - All the bartenders were very good, but Chris and Shaquille stood out above the rest. They both are very personable, easy to be around. Shaquille worked with us on studying different types of gin. - Nicole made sure we were well served around the pool during the day - Adam (concierge office) went over and above to both acknowledge our anniversary and take care of other needs. - Finally, Shadullah (wedding planner) set up multiple pleasant surprises for us throughout the week, even though we weren't on her radar as a wedding couple.

My husband and I stayed at Sandals Halcyon for our anniversary. All of the staff were beyond amazing!! The entertainment team was so much fun from the pool activities during the day to turning everyone up at night (Dylan’s dance moves, Jay on the DJ). We really enjoyed everyone! Please also find Delores at Bistro, Lashawn (entertainment crew), and Vince (bartender) and you won’t be disappointed.. they are such amazing people! They really made our anniversary trip special. The food and night entertainment was perfect. We also got massages which were exceptional. Thank you Dylan, Jay, Vince, and Lashawn for making this trip memorable!! Also there was one bartender at the night bar that would dance and have such a good time while making drinks (sorry for forgetting your name)! The employees felt like friends and my husband and I were both a little sad to leave. We really enjoyed them! 🫶🏽 #sandalshalcyon #itsavibe #alllove

We had an amazing stay at Sandals Halcyon. The staff was welcoming, the food was amazing and the grounds were beautiful. We stayed in the Rondavel which was very comfortable and well designed. The staff at the pool bars were outstanding and the pizza truck near the lazy river pool was delicious. Our butlers Vito and Sam made our trip even more memorable. We celebrated my husband's birthday during our stay. They decorated our room, our beach area and provided many surprised in the room for us. We truly felt special during our stay. This resort in more low key than other Sandals resorts which we enjoyed. We enjoyed meals at almost every restaurant and they all were great.

We just got back from our honeymoon at sandals halycon beach and we had the best time. This resort is the quiter one out of the 3 in st lucia but it was so romantic and cosy with the fire pits , perfect for a honeymoon! We upgraded our room to an walk out ocean honeymoon suite club level and it was probably the best room weve ever stayed in abroad , was fantastic! Fully stocked bar, hot tub on your terrace over looking the ocean, hummingbirds on a morning, just perfect. Big shout out to Adam in the club concierge, he was amazing from start to finsih, he went bove and beyond to make our stay so special, he was there any time you needed him and so helpful and professional, well done! On the bar we would like to thank Josi, Vince and Ryan, you guys were so attentive and happy, nothing was ever an issue and the cocktail were top tier. The food was excellent, if you do go make sure to go to the other resorts to try their al carte restaurants too. The sushi bar at halycon is just immense!!! Would recommend to them putting more frequent shuttles on to the other hotels, they are put on every 2 hours so its hard to plan your nights, every half hour or every hour would be so much better! Also (if i was being super picky) they put a massive amount of ice in every drink, often waters down the juice and cocktails. But apart from that it was incredible and we will definetly be returning to sandals Megan and tom

- It houses the longest pool in the Caribbean

Where Is Sandals Halcyon Beach
Sandals Halcyon Beach is close to its sister resort, Sandals Regency La Toc. It’s located off one of the busiest roads on the island, the Castries – Gros Islet Highway. Though it’s near such a thoroughfare, the adults-only resort is considered a true Garden Eden — thanks to its verdant scenery.

There’s a certain coziness that comes from this resort’s French-Caribbean-style, low-rise buildings. Surrounded by lush greenery and easy access to a pristine coastline, it’s hard to ignore this Caribbean oasis. Apart from having the Caribbean’s longest pool, it has six gourmet restaurants and seven bars touting distinctive and creative concepts.
Pros and Cons
The Pros
- Beachfront swim-up suites
- Laid-back vibe with French-Caribbean-style buildings
- Plenty of outdoor space for lounging
The Cons
- Near a busy road
- Shuttle buses may arrive late
- There could be stray cats
What Vacation Experiences It Offers
You’re sure to experience halcyon and relaxing days at Sandals Halcyon Beach. This resort is particularly appealing to honeymooners and couples on vacation. Further elevate your holiday with a Red Lane Spa Experience, a private candlelight dinner, or a Soufrière getaway.
