How did you pick which one to stay at? They all look beautiful and there are too many to choose from. What attracted you to it and how did it meet expectations? Anything interesting to see on the island, too? Need advice cuz we are def. wanting to book with them! TIA

Re: Sandals Question from 08'er
We went to Sandals Regency at St. Lucia. DH & I always wanted to go there, and there are 3 different resorts in St Lucia: The Regency, the Grande, and Halcyon. Halycon is very small. Both the Grande and the Regency are huge, and theyre both beautiful. Our T.A. told us that the Regency was a bit nicer, so we trusted her, and chose to stay there. You can stay at 1, and eat at all 3. Theyre so close to eahcother - from the Regency, Halycon is 15 minuets away, and from Halcyon to The Grande is another 15 minuets. But if u wanted to go to from the Regency to The Grande, it would be 1/2 hour, but theres SO many restaurants you can chose from. The difference between the Grande & The Regency is that the Grande has alot more watersports [i.e: weavrunner, jet skis, snorkerling, a trampoline you can swim up to aboit 15 feet in the water, ect.] The water is calmer and clearer at the Grande as well. The Regency, is alittle bit bigger, and the water tends to get alittle rougg because its technically closer to the rain forest, and the water IS clear, just not as clear as The Grande. You can always stay at the renegcy and to go the Grande [beach] for the day! the transportation is free [obviously] they just like tips! they have select hours, usually they come about once an hour but stop at 11 pm or 12 am. Their both GORGEOUS! We were at Halycon the least amount furing our trrip because its REALLY small! But we ate at all the restaurants and they're all great! [FM me for info on restaurants if u do decide to go there!]
As far as Sandals Antigua, I can let u know in July....we're staying in the all new Mediterrean section which is being completed this month!
Jamaica is supposed to be gorgeous too, I beliee they say Negril is the nicest of them.
Sandals Bahamas is also supposed to be gorgeous!
And whats even great is that if u stay at Sandals once, the next time u go back, they'll take $375 off ur trip price and u will now become a 'signature guest member!'
FM me for more info & questions!

Re: Sandals Question from 08'er
I booked Sandals Antigua for my HM in Oct/Nov. We were going to book St. Lucia, but while flipping thu the book, I saw that this is a smaller resort. I also like that the island is smaller, and there is enough to see off of the resort if we wish to.
Also, the airfare to St. Lucia was about $200 pp more.
Mrs. Brags7706 - can't wait to read your review.

Re: Sandals Question from 08'er
I just came back from Honeymoon on Sunday from Sandals Bahamas and it was amazing!!! I don't think you could go wrong at any of their locations, but we decided quickly b/c we wanted a quick flight, only 2 1/2 hours and only an 8 minute ride from the airport. I heard that some of the Sandals locations are an hour or more from the airport, but alot of people don't mind that.
