St. Lucia Sandals - Regency vs Grande???

We're not sure which to pick. I know all the differences between the two...but the Regency is quite a bit more 'affordable' and you can get a better room, etc. Is it worth the difference at the Grande?

thanks!

We stayed at the Grande and love it! The only reason that I would say the Grande over the Regency is that at the Regency you have to take shuttle buses everywhere you want to go. At the Grande everything was right there.
I also think that the Grande is much more elegant that the Regency - but this is just my opinion - hopefully some other girls will have more to say.

I preferred the grande. The regency is up on a cliffside and very spread out. Everything felt like such a long walk and the beach felt a little choppy. I think it is the more expensive out of the two. I loved staying at the grande. We took the shuttle buses to the Regency for some restaurants.
They are both gorgeous hotels though.

I didn't see the Regency, but stayed at the Grande and we absolutely loved it! Loved everything about it, bars, beach, restuarants.
Wish I could be there.

I personally haven't been to either. But from the people I spoke with, the Grande charges you a lot more than Regency for basically the same things. I mean, the rooms are nicer and location is a little more convenient, but when it comes to penny's I'd go with the Regency.
