Sandals St. Lucia travel guide and vacation resources
Grand, indeed! And busy, busy, busy. Couples love Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa&Beach Resort, the biggest and splashiest of the three Sandals resorts on St. Lucia, particularly young honeymooners and those getting married here. Several weddings take place each day, in fact. Perched on the narrow Pigeon Island Causeway at St. Lucia's northern tip, Sandals Grande offers panoramic views of Rodney Bay on one side and the Atlantic on the other. Luxurious rooms, decorated with colorful fabrics and mahogany furniture, all have king-size beds; 24 lagoon-side rooms have swim-up verandas. With a plethora of land and water sports, a European-style full-service spa, five excellent restaurants, nightly entertainment, and romance in the air, there's never a dull moment. A complimentary shuttle connects all three Sandals properties for additional fun with full exchange privileges. 271 rooms, 11 suites. In-room: safe, dial-up. In-hotel: 5 restaurants, room service, bars, tennis courts, pools, gym, spa, beachfront, diving, water sports, laundry service, executive floor, public Internet, airport shuttle, no kids.
