Just returned from another great trip to the Sandals Grande St. Lucian. I am an Emerald level member with the Sandals Select program and this is the fourth visit to the resort. We had booked the Swim Up Lover's Lagoon Club Level (HR) category. The resort and that room type, along with many other categories on one side of the resort were under total renovation. The rooms were stripped down to the walls so they'll be totally new rooms. As a result, we were upgraded to a butler category, the Rondoval Villa and a wonderful surprise. A big shout out to a number of staff members, starting with our lovely Butler's, Malaika and Michelle. Also, the playmakers pool entertainment staff were great as they do an awesome job keeping people engaged and entertained during the day while hanging out at the pool. Big shout out to Neville, Cassis and Leana. The bartenders that we had the most engagement were awesome which includes Remy at the pool side bar and Denson at the lobby bar. We didn't get to see Peter this trip as he wasn't working the days we were there but he's a legend. A final shout out to Nicholas, who is a very pleasant breakfast staff member at Toscanini's, the Italian restaurant at night and sit down menu order breakfast option. We look forward to going back to and experiencing the newly renovated rooms in the near future!

We are visiting for our honeymoon and had dinner at Toscanis for some Italian. Julieta was our server and was absolutely amazing with her service, making sure we got to taste everything we wanted. The risotto was our favorite and the arancini was a close second. We couldn’t choose between the entrees so she brought us multiple which was awesome, and all of them were delicious! 10/10 recommend!

Our stay at Sandals Saint Lucia Grande was beautiful. The left beach is beautiful with perfect sand. The captains for the daily snorkeling, water skiing, and wake boarding were amazing especially Captain Derrick who took us out on a night snorkeling excursion! So cool! We were a bit disappointed that the resort was under construction (which we were unaware of) and was much less busy than expected. There were not a ton of bars available in the evenings after dinner, but other than that everything was great. Looking for a killer drink go see Orion in the pub most nights. Need a fun frozen pool drink? Go see Remy for a StripClub Sandwich or Matthew for a or a BBC! Want to laugh your face off? Go to Kimono’s and ask for Chef Ruben. The most adult Hibachi experience we’ve ever had! This is our 2nd Sandals trip and we have Antigua booked for 2027!

While the staff was GREAT and very professional!! There were a few things that made this stay not so great. First, in the middle of the day they decided to change locks on all the rooms without first informing guest. We were there for a wedding and were in the middle of preparing to attend a gathering for all the wedding guests (that started at a particular time) when the locksmith showed up while I was in the shower to change the lock (and therefore, kept my room door open while I was forced to hide in a corner to get dressed with a stranger in the room and door open.. OR miss the wedding event. Second, later in the week an article of clothing belonging to my wife went missing and was never found. My wife got her clothes out for a cruise we were doing later in the evening and after we returned to our room.. her shirt was missing.. and never found (despite security cameras being positioned right outside our room) **Sandals is apparently still investigating this, although we are no longer at the resort and have returned home. this was very inconvenient and the minimal compensation ($40 room credit) did not match the disruption to our vacation and personal invasion of privacy we felt. We had other family and friends that stayed at the other sandals resorts on the island and even though we tried to do several events together, sandals final shuttle back to the other resorts ends at 10PM.. despite the fact that activities on the resort go beyond that time.. meaning if you are on a different resort you really can't participate after your "shuttle curfew" Sandals should really consider their own shuttle service...at least for after hours and not force customer to pay the whopping $40 per person (or more) to catch a taxi There are also not enough events to fully entertain.. yes there is one or two poolside activities during the day.. but maybe throw in a couple daytime shows or add a movie theater or something else.. by the end of the week we kind of got bored. Again.. the staff is great and very attentive but the resort was not so great and I would not stay again
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.

Excellent 7 days spent at the Sandals Halcyon resort in St Lucia. Excellent accommodation, location, food and very friendly staff. Special mention to Destiny who chatted to us poolside, Celine who gave me a fantastic massage, Leshaun with his daily information on entertainment and finally the General Manager and Hotel Manager who sat on our table for supper ,on the special evening we were invited to as returning guests. We also liked the option to visit the other 2 Sandals resorts with the curtesy transportation provided. We eat one evening at the La toc and another night at the Grande.

We stayed at the Halycon for 10 days at the start of August and to describe how amazing our stay was could be difficult. From arriving at the airport to a seamless transfer the whole holiday was perfect Special shout outs to Le Shaun, Dylan, Jay, Sam and Destiny on the entertainment team all amazing. Bar staff were also amazing especially Aaliyah, Chris, Vince and kershawn Restaurants are amazing I particularly loved Soy great lads in there and the food is spectacular. We would like to say a massive thank you to every single person at the resort for making our holiday incredible !!! Before I finish though I have to mention Kennedy from Julian's boat tours who you will 100% meet on the beach, if you do nothing else on your holiday trust this guy he's amazing and the trip he runs is the best we have ever been on (it really is his momma's food)

Incredible Honeymoon with a Shoutout to the Water Sports Team!

My husband and I just returned from a 10-day honeymoon at Sandals Halcyon Bay and while we don't usually write reviews, we had to share our fantastic experience. The water sports team truly made our trip unforgettable. As certified divers, we were excited to use the resort's facilities. On our first morning, we had a refresher with Shalaura, who went over safety and equipment in the dive pool. This was a huge help and made us feel confident and ready for our first boat dive the next day to the Pitons—what an incredible experience! The entire dive team was amazing throughout our four separate trips. They were all friendly, professional and so happy. A special thanks to Martin for being so supportive on my first dive. He really helped calm my nerves and guided our group so well. On our final dive day, we were lucky enough to have Shalaura guide our group. She was a fantastic instructor, helping us spot ten turtles across two different dive sites. We are so grateful to her for creating such incredible memories. Our final shoutout goes to Quami at the water sports center. We saw him every day of our trip and he was always so welcoming and friendly. He learned our names immediately and greeted us by name every time we saw him. With Quami and his team, I even learned to waterski for the first time! They were incredibly patient and I was up and standing on the skis after just a few attempts. Quami is a real credit to the Halcyon team. We can't recommend the entire water sports staff enough for their kindness and enthusiasm. If you're looking for an active vacation, you'll be in great and safe hands with this team. They were the highlight of our trip! While the water sports team was our standout, we want to note that all the staff across the three Sandals resorts in St. Lucia were incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for us.
Read full review- A quintessentially Caribbean resort with palm tree-laced, white sand beaches (some of the best beaches in St. Lucia)
- It houses the longest pool in the Caribbean
- Its roster of restaurants includes the over-the-water Kelly’s Dockside
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.
What To Expect
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.

Our trip was absolutely amazing! Travis was wonderful (the guy in the bow tie.) Not only did he booked our dinner reservations, he moved our chairs around the pool, ordered our lunch, brought us drinks (AND WATER!!!☺️) Upon arrival, we were greeted with cold lemon scented towels, shown around, and if you’re a club member, you get to hang out in the Sandals Club Lounge. Our room was filled with drinks and so clean! We highly recommend Saint Lucia Regency La Toc.

My husband and I stayed at Sandals La Toc for our honeymoon 2 - 8 June 2023. We celebrated our honeymoon , my birthday on 6/6 and our new life together. The club sandals team Tasha, Lisa, Sylana, Sameera, Ciera, Zion, Esther deserve standing ovations, the sandals employees truly put you the guests before themselves. We were met with a beautifully decorated room celebrating our wedding, they next redecorated on 6th for my birthday at my husband's request. The staff operate so seamlessly achieving these unforgettable moments and memories while you step out. From airport pickup, check in , the stay , every aspect is efficiently coordinated. Staffing top class, but they aren't permitted to accept gratuities (although you'd like to give 🙂 Food and Drink also top class Entertainment all day Hotel AMAZING Gift Shop sublime Although it is over 2 years late we wish to sincerely thank this resort. If the staff are no longer there they were wonderful and we will never forget our experience. Gregory and Gina West
