This was our 2nd trip to Sandals Grande St. Lucian, and we are planning another trip next year. We were particularly happy with Lisa, the manager at Toscanini's, who made our stay and meals there a delight.

The resort and beach front, grounds and overall setting was beautiful. Staff members were extremely attentive and helpful. In particular Vincent (Sommelier) at Steakhouse on property and server Gania were fantastic and very client focused. The spa was relaxing and therapeutic. I had a wonderful body wrap by technician Janelle. She was terrific. Music was featured nightly, food at all restaurants was good. Guests of the Grande could visit and dine at LaToc and Halcyon as well. Highly recommended this vacation destination.

Grand St. Lucia. Every expectation met and beyond. Staff and managers will ensure the holiday will be magical. A dream holiday to be cherished. The location is fantastic, food exceptional. It’s worth spending a little more to stay at the Grand as it has far more to offer than nearby Sandal resorts. Simply the best

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.
2. Sandals Halcyon Beach

Ryan William and Angie from the Club Lounge made our stay feel like home! We found that Halcyon was quiet enough for relaxing and recharging, but we could head over to the pool or the bar if we wanted entertainment. We loved being able to visit the other two resorts as well. We can’t thank Ryan enough for treating us like family each time we saw him and to Angie for entertaining us with great music in the club lounge while we were making reservations for the week.

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Sandals Halcyon in March 2025. It is now one of our favorite Sandals resorts. The resort was well maintained and immaculate. Every employee we encountered was very friendly and helpful. Out butlers Princess, Shervon and Viona were super attentive and made our stay wonderful. The servers at the quiet pool were constantly bringing drinks. Our room was incredible (Halcyon Shore House Butler Suite w/Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub). We were lulled to sleep every night by the ocean waves gently crashing just in front of our balcony. We definitely plan to come back again and again.

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.

4.5/5 We just returned from our honeymoon! We had the most amazing time in St. Lucia! We stayed in one of the new Rondoval villas. Absolutely stunning! Modern, private, well equipped. The butler service was incredible. We have Thomas, Christian, and Ange. I cannot express how they made this great trip, AMAZING. They had the most positive attitude, always smiling, they almost anticipated all our needs and were happy to assist us with any of our requests and what they couldn’t do they provided alternative options. I can’t thank them enough for making our experience unforgettable in the most positive way. Our experience was well worth the money! The resort is beautiful. I understand what people say when they say it could use some updates, but don’t let that deter you. The grounds are beautiful, clean, and more traditional, but it’s clear they are making modern changes. I hope they don’t go too modern, just fix wear and tear. The resort feels more authentic, than other modern resorts we’ve been to. The food was very good. My husband and I are Portuguese. We know good food. The sushi was great. Our food at Armando’s & kimonos was good. Buccan is the new family style restaurant by the Rondoval’s- it was PHENOMENAL. It was not like going to eat at a restaurant it was truly an experience, with multiple courses of traditional St. Lucian cuisine. You sit with other resort guest, great way to meet people. It is a MUST to visit! The room service was alright- but very inconsistent.. Honestly, my husband and I are easy to please, especially when we are on a beautiful island. There were some negative reviews I read and part of me thinks that the experience they had was more of a reflection of them not the resort. I would take negative reviews with a grain of salt, some people are hard to please. That being said, I do understand what some reviewers say about some of the wait staff not being friendly or acting like they didn’t want to serve you, but they still did. I think a lot of people are used to the friendly American customer service. it didn’t bother us. We still got served and when we were friendly to them they definitely matched our energy and we put a smile on their face (:
