Went there for my baby moon. My wife and I loved Bombay Club, amazing food options there. Out attendent Harish really took care of us. I would definitely recommend Toscana and Bombay Club. In particular toscana for breakfast indoors. So sweet Fay was awesome. The downside is that they offer a complimentary photoshoot, but the pictures are way to pricey. Some of the photographers are passive aggressive in their comments

My husband and I recently celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary from July 3–6, 2026, at the one and only Sandals Grande St. Lucian—and once again, it completely exceeded our expectations. This was our second time staying at this breathtaking resort, as we also celebrated our anniversary here in 2021. And let me just say: it felt like coming home to paradise. We stayed in a Swim-Up Club Level Suite, and it was absolute perfection. Toscanini’s became our morning tradition—and we’re seriously missing their Crunchy Banana French Toast with warm rum syrup. It was the kind of breakfast that makes you pause and savor every bite. So, so delicious! We are beyond thankful to several amazing Sandals team members who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special: ✨ Rhea Charles, you and your entire team—including Vinette & Judy—are true gems. Your warmth and hospitality didn’t go unnoticed. ✨ Gordon’s on the Pier continues to be our favorite dining spot, and we were so well taken care of by Phillip, who was incredibly kind and attentive. A special shoutout to Hannah, the gracious host at Gordon’s—your friendly energy set the tone for a beautiful evening. ✨ It was a pleasure meeting Mrs. Elisha, who has been with Sandals since this resort opened in 2002—her pride and love for the property is evident in every interaction. ✨ Brittany at the Jerk Shack is a ray of sunshine! Her genuine, warm personality made each visit feel like chatting with an old friend. ✨ And last but not least, Larry, the evening duty manager, checked on us regularly with his bubbly and upbeat personality, making sure we were having the best time possible. Sandals Grande St. Lucian is a place that holds a very special place in our hearts. From the stunning views and incredible food to the staff who make you feel like family—this resort has become our go-to for celebrating love, relaxation, and luxury. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Until then, we’ll be dreaming of breakfast at Toscanini’s and sunsets on the pier.

Toscaninis was the best restaurant I have been too on this trip. From the hostess to the wait staff every minute feels personal. The woman who take orders remember everything you like to order from the last time you came which makes this feel like a friendship! They had my wine basically on the table the second I walked in the door. I love it here. Some of the amazing ladies are , Sierra, Nertashe, Kendra, Julita, tasha, dione and latoya

  • 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 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

I would like to say a big thank you to Sandals Halcyon Beach for an amazing experience. It was our first time in the Caribbean and a Sandals resort. We had a wonderful time and we would like to send special thanks to Dylan, Vanessa, Juju and all the staff for taking the time to get to know us and making sure we were always having a great time. We would also like to say that we liked that you can visit the other 2 Sandals resort and use their facilities for free and with a free shuttle. We were particularly happy that we were staying at the Halcyon Beach because it is the smaller resort out of the 3 in Saint Lucia and therefore felt more intimate and quaint. We loved it and very glad we picked Sandals to celebrate our honeymoon.

This review is our 101st night at Sandals and our third stay at Halcyon. I absolutely love this resort. It is small enough to be intimate yet large enough to give you good entertainment value. I always feel that your vacation is what you make of it, and I always try to get to know the staff because they are what make my vacation. I want to shout out to some great people, in no particular order. Lashaun and the playmakers make the trip! Jay is always there to make you laugh and have a great time, and if you do the water aerobics with him, he is a hoot. My girl Boozie! She has a beautiful spirit and is a great conversationalist, sweet as can be and helps you out wherever needed. Patrick is always there with a smile, fist bump and maybe a song, always so friendly. Then there is Adam. Adam is such a fun, entertaining young man. I always looked forward to seeing him. Not only do they work hard during the day to entertain, they are also there in the evening, dancing, singing engaging the guests. Chris, Kareem and Vince are your guys at the bar! Nathalie at Bayside always has a beautiful smile along with Maya and Francis. Veronica has been there for years making your omelets and my favorite the eggs benedict. Michelle at the loyalty desk was able to take care of finding us the next right booking. Needless to say, I really have enjoyed our stays at Halcyon. It feels like home. Cannot wait to return.

We had a trip of a life time at the Halcyon Sandals Resort in St. Lucia last week. Our wedding moon trip was beyond expectations thanks in part to Techla, Shundulla, and the rest of their wedding team. The resort itself was breathtaking and soooo relaxing. The pool picture was the view from just outside our first room before we were surprised with a room upgrade (see other pictures). We were constantly pampered and felt so taken care of and loved. We are profoundly grateful for this wonderful experience!

  • 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.

We went to Sandals Regency La Too for my husband's birthday and also our three year wedding anniversary. Let me first start with the very brief negative, for us, our room was not cleaned every day and it was quite out dated. I should have done a better job with researching the rooms, but we were sold on selecting a pool/beach walkout room. That was our low-light of the trip; besides that, our experience was exceptional! we had such a great time we booked another visit to La Toc for the same week in July 2027. The food at the restaurants was delicious and well prepared. 99.9% of the staff were friendly and engaging. We met the most special employee during our time, Share ( we called her Share bear). She was attentive, thoughtful and just over all top notch in customer service. We informed Erin, the manager of our positive experience with Share. She made my husband's birthday and our anniversary a really special one. Please ask for Share when you visit. Germain at the lobby bar was also excellent, remember our drinks of choice by day two. Mikege at the pool was friendly and her favorite response was always "noooo problem" with a beautiful smile on her face. Travis, also ensured to check in on how our experience was going and was open to feedback. During the night... make your way up to Cricketers on a Karaoke night and watch Nigel take it away with his enthusiasm for dancing and singing, he's the best. Lastly, Jamal went above and beyond in the travel and loyalty suite to help us book our 2027 vacation. Sandals Regency La Toc did not disappoint. For 2027 we booked the Honeymoon Hideaway Butler Suite with a private pool...We already can't wait to go back! Thank you again to: Share!!!! Germain Nigel Mikege Travis Jamal Erin and all other staff that made our stay a pleasant one!

My boyfriend and I just got back from staying at La Toc and I cannot give them enough stars to justify the service we received on our stay! A special shoutout to Travis for being so welcoming and taking care of anything we needed without hesitation! (He’s pictured in the photo-guy with the bow tie) This was our first time staying at a Sandals resort and we’ve both said that we will only stay at a Sandals from here on! Not to mention, the food is great! St. Lucia is an absolutely must. Such a beautiful island.
