St. Lucia

Pros: Some great restaurants
Cons: So-so activities

My wife and I just got back from our 5 day vacation in St. Lucia. (November 17-21, 2000)
Instead of going the all-inclusive route, we decided to stay at a small hotel and explore the island on our own. I think that doing so gave us a better feel...

Pros: Some of the most outgoing people in the Caribbean
Cons: the new phase will turn this into a "mega resort"

Sandals Halcyon in St. Lucia, our first and still our absolute favorite resort in the Caribbean. It's been 5 years since I've been there, I got engaged there, and I will be spending my 5th anniversary there in November 2000. In five years I have been...

Pros: Great relaxing island.
Cons: Not, the place for evening events.

One of my favorite ports of call for Diving and visiting while working as a diver for Norwegian Cruise Line was St. Lucia. In-fact I was reprimanded on more than one occasion for pushing that trip on the customers more than any others. I would say,...

Pros: All Sandals staff are professionally trained
Cons: None

Review Topic:  Practical Information

Hello Folks,

Let me try and convey to you how impressed we were with the Sandals staff. When you first get there its a little disarming, we were not ready for all the warm smiles...

Pros: great service, beautiful
Cons: none

My husband and I visited Sandals Halcyon St. Lucia on our honeymoon. It was the best vacation to date we have had. We have visited Sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica and Sandals Royal Bahamian in the Bahamas. The service at St. Lucia was the best, the...

Pros: Beautiful scenery
Cons: 1 and 1/2 hour drive to airport from hotel

Just returned from the most beautiful place, sunny St. Lucia. What a wonderful, mountainous, laid back island. The people were so friendly! The beaches and the clear blue waters were breathtaking. I have traveled to a lot of different caribbean...

Pros: Well spent $$
Cons: Worrying about negative comment

Review Topic:  Overview

Hello Folks,

My last comment. I can't tell you enough how much my wife and I enjoyed our vacation at Sandals. We have been to other all-inclusive,(Jamaica, Cancun) but never to a Sandals. This...

Pros: Sun, clear blue water, whatever you wanted to do
Cons: by a small airport

We wanted Sun and Fun in February, (which we couldn't get in Missouri), so 6 couples decided the Sun was in St. Lucia at the Rendevous Resort. It was a long plane ride but we were already treated to the areal view of the Grand Pitons and Rum Punch. The...

Pros: Scenic, picturesque, many tours and activities
Cons: Very expensive, underdeveloped

My wife and I spent our honeymoon in St. Lucia at the Jalousie Hilton Resort & Spa. We wanted someplace more quiet and secluded than the all-inclusive "spring-break" atmosphere of the Sandals Resorts and others in the North end of the island. We chose ...

Pros: Service, location of hotel.
Cons: Distance from airport.

We went to St. Lucia for our 25th Anniversary in November. We chose Sandals because it was a couples only resort. There are 3 Sandals in St. Lucia, and after some research, we settled on the Grande because it was the newest and biggest. I am pleased to ...

Pros: Scenery, People, Food,
Cons: Not that I can recall

We have just returned from Rodney Bay after spending Easter. My self and my wife booked last minute for a long weekend, and our travel agent managed to get the last room available at the Candyo Inn, a simple friendly 10 or so room hotel right in the...

Pros: Beautiful island with dramatic and breathtaking views and vistas
Cons: The rainy season is not a good time to travel! Sandal's Resort was deceiving.

My husband and I booked our honeymoon during the month of October at the Sandal's St. Lucia resort and were excited about the all-inclusive benefits, and the beautiful scenery from the brochure. When we arrived on the island after a very long flight we...

Pros: great for kids vacation--only
Cons: liars and thieves, can't trust your confirmation

I have been vacationing in the Carribean and West Indies for 10 years and have had some very nice experiences. I planned a trip to St. Lucia for my wedding. The brochure depicted a private villa with a plunge pool on a cliff overlooking the ocean. I...

Pros: No kids
Cons: service, lack of entertainment on island

I have been to most of the major Caribbean islands several times. I have taken 5 Caribbean cruises, and I have also spent time in Jamaica and the Bahamas in hotels for extended vacations. My wife and I went to Sandals St. Lucia for our honeymoon a few...

Pros: None.
Cons: Terrible quality, poor service, unhygenic hotel.

We were in St. Lucia yesterday and checked into Windjammer. I happened to read the review of the other individual who also stayed at the Windjammer, but just now. I wish I had read it earlier. I could write a quick review of St. Lucia and Pigeon...
