My HM Review: Sandals St. Lucia Regency La Toc

I just got back yesterday from Sandals St. Lucia and it was amazing! I'm so happy we booked Sandals. We even booked our one year anniversary trip for a different sandals (Ocho Rios in Jamaica).

The trip to and from the airport is not fun at all. The roads are very winding and there's no posted speed limits. If you get motion sickness- take something! Its about an hour and a half to the resort.

Our room was very nice. Strong A.C and a fan. We had a beach front walkout room with a gorgeous view. We were right next to the beach and pool. There was a fully stocked frigdge and bar (that was replenished every day). When we got there champagnes and fruit were waiting for us! We also got breakfast in bed for two days! We got a concierge room and the concierge service was great. They were on top of every thing.

The pool was absolutely beautiful. Thats where we spent most of our days. The swim up bar was great. The drinks were very well made and very strong. Try the Rum Punch

All the staff is amazing. Our maid actually folded our clothes and put everything away so nicely!

The resturants are unbelieveable. I dont eat steak and I ended up ordering it on two seperate occassions because it was so good. I even tried escargot at the French Resturant (delicious!!). If you can try not to make any resturant reservations for Friday night. They have a Carribean dinner buffet The Pavillion resturant and its SO good, along with entertainment while you eat. Make sure you make your reservations as soon as you get there. I loved the French Resturant (La Toc) and DH loved Armando's (Italian).

ANother tip: get to the pool VERY early (by 8AM) to put your towels and stuff down on a seat. Any later and you might not get seats by the pool. If you want a raft, you need to get out even earlier.

The fitness center was nice. It was very clean and had a decent amount of equipment. Not too many weight machines (but a good number of free weights). I only lasted about half an hour each time I went though- it was VERY hot in there!

We had a $250 spa credit so we ended up getting a couple's massage. It was amazing!! We also got an exfoliation and then 20 minutes in a bubble bath. I loved it- so relaxing!

You don't need alot of cash though. Just make sure you bring a credit card. Everything you buy there (from the resort) will just be charged to that. . Some people have told me the staff is not allowed to accept tips. The drivers, maid, bellhop all did. However the bartenders and waitstaff did not.

They do complimentary photoshoots on the beach, around the resort and when the sun sets. I loved all the pictures. We ended up spending $300 on pictures because they came out so good.

We did two excursions. The Land and Sea and the Sunset Cruise. TheLand and Sea is great because you really get to see everything on the Island- botanical gardens, waterfall, volcano, mountains- close up.

We had alot of fun on the Sunset Cruise as well. There were drinks, music, but unforunatly no sunset due to the rain.

We ended up going during rainy season. it rained every day. Only 1 or 2 days out the 10 had full on rain all day. The rest of the day it rained for a minute or two then stopped.

I reccomend you bring bug spay! I kept bitten. And also sunscreen and apply it often. I used SPF 100 and still got a little red on some days.

Also, there are quite afew cats walking around. They're friendly cats so dont worry they wont bother you. They're there to keep the rodents away.

Overall, I highly reccomend Sandals Regency!!!

Colleen, thanks for posting!!! LOVE the pictures!!

I'm pretty positive this is where we are going to end up going. Just have to decide on which room to stay in. Was the room you had comfortable for the amount of time you spent there? I am trying to make a decision about a suite or regular room.

I definatly thought we had enough room. We had a loveseat and an armchair, as well as a coffee table. Plus right outside there was a patio with a table and two chairs. I think we were completely fine with the amount of room we had.
