We picked Antigua. I really wanted St. Lucia until my travel agent said the sand isn't as pure white and the water isn't as crystal clear as it is in Antigua. I've been to Antigua on a cruise and of all the Caribbean islands I've been to, Antigua is the most beautiful. I think either choice would be good. I wasn't interested in the Bahamas resort. I believe it's much older.

Thank you so much for your input!!! Me and my fiance are torn, because online the pics look beautiful...My friend went to Sandals Antigua for her honeymoon and she loved it as well!!! I think we may end up doing Antigua, and plus I heard Antigua has the best weather...

We went with the Grande St. Lucian. We wanted an island that was more than just laying on the beach and St. Lucia fits the bill for the that (rain forest, zip lining, hiking etc.). Also the flights out to Antigua weren't great. When we briefly looked at it I think it was just mondays? We wanted to go for 11 days on our honeymoon so that wouldn't have worked. I dont think you can go wrong with Antigua or St. Lucia though.
ETA: You can get a lot better 'bang for your buck' in Antigua. The rates for that Sandals were MUCH cheaper than the Grande St. Lucian (at least when we were going thru the information with our travel agent).

I think you should go with the Grande St. Lucian since you'll be able to take advantage of the Stay at 1, Play at 3 option.
But, a girlfriend stayed at the Sandals Antigua and LOVED it. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I have been to all 3 places.
Sandals Emerald Bay is STUNNING-This is the newer resort in the Bahamas and all rooms are either Concierge or Butler service. There is also a lot of things to do in Bahamas (locally)
Sandals St. Lucia-Did not like, yes they have ziplines and whatever but so do the other resorts. Also the drive from the airport is a little longer then the rest.
Sandals Antigua-Beautiful! Very safe to walk around locally.
If I had to put it in order I would say Sandals Emerald Bay, Sandals Antigua, and then Sandals St. Lucia.
I went to Sandals Jamaica Royal Caribbean for my Honeymoon and it was the best out of all resorts (we did a lot of local things but we are West Indian so I'm not sure if its so safe for everyone to travel local)

This exactly. We are staying at Sandals Antigua but originally we wanted to stay at the St. Lucian. We wanted the butler package and the room category wasn't available during the time I wanted to go. I could have went with the other 2 St. Lucia resorts but they don't compare to the Antigua resort because of it's perfect beaches. Like all of the other ladies said, either way you prob cant go wrong.
