St Lucia

Anyone going there and have anything they can recommend??

I have heard a mixture of reviews (not all good though) about Grande Sandels in St Lucia.........is anyone going there (St Lucia) but not staying in sandels??

I'm going to St. Lucia and staying at the Grande. I've only heard great things about Sandals. Plus there are 3 resorts so you can enjoy all of them. I'm very excited to go! It was highly recommened from my travel agent!!!!!

We thought about going to Sandals in St. Lucia, We changed our minds in December. We had spent a lot of time on Trip Advisor, and there were just too many negative reviews.

In my opinion Sandals is one of the more expensive all inclusives, and I did not want to spend so much, just to be dissappointed.

I haven't been but when the morning show from Z100 went last week they stayed at the Coco Palm and said it was beautiful. They said it's one of the lesser known hotels on the island but they treat you like royalty. http://coco-resorts.com/palm.htm

I went to St Lucia for my honeymoon in November and stayed at the Jalousie Plantation which was once owned by Hilton. It's located in the most tropical part of the island, the rain forest. Although it rains off and on throughout the day it was truly AMAZING and aboslutely GORGEOUS!! It's located right in between the Grande Piton and the Petit Piton and sits on a BEAUTIFUL beach.

Feel free to FM if you have any questions.

We just got back from staying at the Sandals Grande for 10 days. We also visited the other two locations. We had a WONDERFUL experience. I was nervous because I had read bad reviews also, but honestly everything was so clean, the food was good, the staff was amazing, the property was beautiful, I never felt it was crowded. We definitely feel like we got our money's worth. We are used to eating out a lot in NYC, so we were nervous that the food might not live up to what we are used to-but almost all of it we would rate as good to very good.

We did a tour of the Island and I would not want to stay at a hotel on St. Lucia that wasn't all- inclusive. The villages are small and there didn't seem to be to many local places to eat. It is a beautiful place and I am sure whatever you end up doing you will have a great time. FM me if you have any questions.
