So FH and i have been thinking about going to Anguilla for our honeymoon, but today someone recommended the diff Sandals resorts in St. Luccia.....We have researched them and they seem to be too good to be true!!
Have any of you been to any Sandals Resorts, or either of the ones in St. Lucia?! Do you have any advice for us? are they really as good as they sound? We wanna book within the next week!!!!!
TIA!

Same here on hurricane season-- but we're taking a chance anyway since it's towards the end... we booked Sandals Negril-- the Romeo and Juliet suite (has a private outdoor pool, jacuzzi, and grotto shower). With that room, we get the concierge service and a private butler!!
It really wasn't as expensive as you'd think... so if you're not going w/ sandals b/c of price, check their website first... the sale going on right now is amazing!!
We booked our hm about 2 months ago at $6800 (not incl air) and I checked the website on Wednesday (just out of curiosity after seeing a commercial) and the price went down to $6200!!! I called them that night and they adjusted the price with no arguing.
I have heard nothing but amazing things about sandals so I am so happy i got a great price for the room we're staying in!!
I'm doing the 'Test Drive Your Honeymoon' promotion on January 28th... it's a surprise b-day present for FH, and we will fly down to Jamaica for the day to see and use the resort-- so I'll let you all know what it's like!!!
You have FM
i thin k this sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!!! i want to do it!

. So I totally took ur advice and called sandals, but they are all booked up :( they put us on a wait list. If u hear of anyone not being able to go that r supposed to let me know!!! Ooo and it is fine if we r looking at St Lucia! I asked about if they have more than just this one, but they don't yet. I hope someone cancels so we can come! At least we r on the wait list!

I have heard nothing but good things about the Sandals Resorts in St. Lucia. I have several friends who went there and LOVED it. If we weren't going on our honeymoon during hurricane season we would be going there.
Aww - ditto on the hurricane season issue... we're thinking of the Occidental Hotel in Aruba. What about you?
Were going to Hawaii. My dad gave us miles and some Marriot points to help us out though. But it doesn't have that wonderful all-inclusive stuff.

. That would be awesome! We r looking at St. Lucia and anguilla not antigua though. Too bad! If either r close maybe we will run into each other on a tour or excursion!

Oh no!! Well I'll let you know if I hear anything, I'm not going with anyone I know, but they should be sending me the plane tickets this week and if I don't get them I'll be calling them!!!

Re: Need Honeymoon Advice: Sandals - good/bad?
wait - st. lucia sandals is booked?? or the room you want is booked - we just got back from teh travel agent and i was all for st. lucia - now looking at antigua - it looks actually nicer!!!! but i feel the island has less to see, st lucia has a rainforest, waterfall, ziplining - but antigua sandals has a sushi bar!!!! this is a hard choice!
