Sandals Antigua or Sandals St. Lucia

Hi,
I had considered going to St. Lucia in August, I put down a deposit and now I am having second thoughts. I heard that it rains alot in St. Lucia. I was on an Antigua chat room and they said such great things about Antigua including the weather. Does anyone have any experiences with anyone of the islands? My travel agent said it is not a problem to switch but it is according to what is available. So I need some info fast! Your opinions will be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Never went to Antigua, but I have gone to St. Lucia (not Sandals) and I wasn't crazy about. I felt it was dirty and yes it rained ALOT

I went to Antigua

Thanks everyone for your take on this matter. I am still deciding on which one to choose. The travel agent informed me that it will cost about 300.00 more for the same room I was getting in St. Lucia at Antigua. I may just stay with St. Lucia

Thanks again

We are considering St. Lucia for our honeymoon. What do you mean by 'dirty'. Where did you stay? I read alot of good things about it. It interests us becuase it seems that there is alot to do besides lay on the beach, such as tour the rainforest and dormant volcanos.

Samantha,

We stayed at Club Med. What I didn't like was that there were cows and horses roaming on the beach. In some sections there were also piles of garbage on the streets and pigs rummaging through it. Call me spoiled but this was not something I really wanted to see. Maybe it has changed
