We visited last month as a group of 7 couples- the previous year we were 6. The island is gorgeous and one of my favorites in the Caribbean. We were greeted by the General Manager Mike, upon our arrival after having met him on the previous year's trip. He ensured our large group had dinner reservations at Bombay, Kimonos and Gordon's. That is something that was important to us. We had an amazing week with several of us taking advantage of the snorkeling, kayaking and Hobie Cats. Some of the staff members that made our time great include Harish, manager at Bombay, pool bartenders Denson and Jamal always had a smile on their face and were happy to serve! Our Peter specials with champagne did not disappoint! Lisa the manager at Bayside was so friendly and interacted with us whenever she ran into us. Nyah at pool aerobics was so fun, putting up with our champagne version of water aerobics! The lovely ladies in the gift shop Arnisha and Yandy were a delight! I didn't get to note everyone's name but there were many others that made our stay enjoyable ( like our Hibachi chef)! We have stayed at Le Toc in the past and have dined at Halcyon on 2 separate trips- all are great but the Grande is grand! The views are amazing. We hiked Pigeon Island which is right next door for more amazing views. We always do white night, but it seems not a lot do, it's too bad there is not more emphasis on it! While there are always some small hiccups as nothing is perfect , it's an incredible place to be with amazing food, drinks and view! Can't wait for our next trip. We are on to St Vincente next year!

St. Lucia is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever visited. And the Grande St. Lucian was gorgeous. First the cons: We were told this resort was 1.5 hours from the airport. On our arrival day (Thursday), it took us 2 hours and 45 minutes to get there from the airport. Traffic was terrible. Check-in was chaotic and inefficient. They immediately whisked our luggage away, and gave us a wet towel to refresh. But, instead of checking in at a front desk like you would at a hotel, they try to make it an “experience” but it was just confusing and disorganized, and took forever. Also, an ocean view room is…well, not. We had a nice balcony on our 2nd floor room. But outside was a large lawn, parking lot, road….then the ocean, which was a tiny blue strip a long way off in the distance. The elevators in our building were out of service for the entirety of our stay. Now for the pros: The Sandals Grande St Lucia property is absolutely beautiful. Several pool areas depending on if you want action and activities or peace and quiet. Towels and chairs were plentiful. The food was delicious…we tried a different restaurant each night. All were fantastic. Service was excellent, and drinks were yummy. The resort is 5 star and we truly enjoyed our stay. Read less

This resort is amazing. It exceeded my expectations and they were high. The resort itself is gorgeous but the staff were some of the friendliest I've ever met. So willing to talk and answer questions about their culture. We stayed in Category BP, Rondoval, room 7003. The room was more than I imagined. Private pool, whirlpool, hammock,umbrella table with chairs and team of butlers. There were water misters along the roofline that were great when laying out by the pool. The restaurants were all so good but Barefoot by the Sea and Bayside were exceptional! The duck at Bayside was out of this world and Barefoot by the Sea had some excellent calamari as well as blackened snapper. Our butler team consisted of Malaika, Bailey and Trancha. They were superstars! They did so much for us that we didn't ask for. They knew what was needed and wanted before we did! They went over and above what I expected to take great care of us. And if they are reading this...thank you for bringing me Sushi everyday <3 I've been to many Sandals resorts and they are all really amazing but the Grande St. Lucian has it's own special ambiance and vibe. Rodney Bay is beautiful and if you stay at this resort make sure to try out the over water swings...definitely better than the playground!!! Many thanks to all the staff at Sandals Grande St. Lucian!

I don’t believe the resort was worth the value. It was a 2 hour windy drive from the airport. Our first room did not have working AC and took us until the next afternoon to be moved to another room. The service was good but exceptionally slow across the resort, according the room move, which resulted in me missing hours of pool/beach time with friends. The rooms felt dated and therefore not very clean and the food was just ok, nothing super delicious or seasoned. The wedding events were gorgeous! Read less
