Fantastic holiday. The staff were extremely helpful. I left my charger at home, reception kindly charged my phone every day. My husband is a coeliac, a meeting was arranged with head chef, who ensured everything was in place for my husband to eat safely. At the buffet there was a table with gluten free foods including a separate toaster. Special thanks to Abijhit, Garth and the wonderful Michael. Thank you too Stephanie who booked the restaurants so the chefs were aware wed coming. The weather was glorious. The journey from the airport was long, but contrary to my belief was not too arduous. Our room was very basic, but very clean, no noise was heard in our room. We felt very a Brit to have a kettle in our room so we could have a cup of tea! The only thing I would have liked was to have had a balcony.
I do not enjoy writing negative reviews, but I believe in being honest about our experiences, especially when we spend hard-earned money on a vacation that promises a premium experience.
I had hoped to give Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia high marks, especially after celebrating our 25th wedding vow renewal at Sandals in Barbados in 2018. Unfortunately, this birthday trip left me disappointed.
Saint Lucia was beautiful, the staff were kind, and we met wonderful people. However, the location and scenery could not make up for the conditions we experienced or justify the amount of money we spent.
The dining areas were a major concern. Flies around the food and bird droppings on chairs made it difficult to relax and enjoy our meals. Birds and cats in the dining areas added to my concerns about cleanliness. Sandals should consider enclosing or screening these spaces so guests can enjoy their food comfortably.
We also dined at Kelly’s on Friday, October 16 and our reservation was at 6:00pm , the experience was disappointing. Our waitress appeared to forget about us. A kind bartender noticed that we had not received the drinks we ordered and personally brought them to our table. We appreciated his attentiveness.
Our appetizers were then overlooked, and our main courses arrived first. When we pointed this out, our main courses were taken away, but when the main courses returned, the food did not seem freshly served. It was as though they held it in a warmer instead of making us fresh plates. Rather than send my meal back or argue, I chose not to eat it and was just wondering what kind of birthday trip was this and hoping the honoree could find a little joy in the experience.
Our room also fell short. The air conditioner was dripping water, and housekeeping was subpar, with some items left uncleaned. These are basic maintenance and cleanliness issues that should be addressed at a resort charging these prices.
I understand that weather and certain circumstances are beyond anyone’s control. However, the cleanliness, maintenance, and dining conditions I described are within the resort’s control. These concerns should not be overlooked.
I had planned and already reserved another Sandals birthday trip for next year, but after this experience and reading reviews describing similar concerns at that property I chose, I plan to cancel immediately. We have also decided that we would not return to Saint Lucia for another extended stay, despite its beauty.
To Sandals leadership: Please take these concerns seriously. Improve housekeeping, address room maintenance, ensure attentive restaurant service, and protect dining spaces from birds, cats, and flies. If the current management team cannot maintain the standards Sandals promises its guests, then leadership should consider a change in management.
Guests deserve clean surroundings, enjoyable meals, and an experience that reflects the price they pay. Beautiful scenery alone is not enough. Please do better.
BUYER PLEASE BEWARE-Those that are giving this 5 stars must not eat in the main areas, I'm just saying.....
We just returned from a week at Sandals Regency La Toc. It could not have been a better week. It was our first time staying at a Sandals, we feel in love with Sandals. The resort sells it self. I had read so many reviews and was so worried as some said the rooms are run down this couldn’t be further from the truth. We had an oceanfront room in the main building. Our room was beautiful. It was modern, updated and very clean. The bathroom is smaller than normal but is more NYC style. Sleek and has everything you need. The room was updated, our view was amazing. The staff was FANTASTIC! All the time ,every time.
The food was good. Our favorite was Soy. We ate there 3 times. The chef, Peter is simply phenomenal. We went one night and they weren’t too busy and he made us something special. Shout out to the best bartender ever, Bedeana, wait staff Kaylor, Renete and June. I apologize if I put anyone in the wrong work category but the staff at Soy was phenomenal. We didn’t care for the Kimonos, it’s a typical Japanese steakhouse. Smokey and food was just okay. We loved Armando’s its delicious for lunch, dinner and breakfast. Beautiful views, wonderful food and service. A special thank you to Stacy, hostess. She always had a smile and went above and beyond to take care of you. La Toc was good the service was nice. We had our fist night meal at Neptune’s , it was okay. The Pavilion was nice for a quick breakfast. Bella Napoli Pizzeria was a great way to get pizza for lunch. They are so accommodating. They let you take it to the pool. We didn’t try Buccan, because the menu didn’t appeal to us.
We didn’t have butler service but we noticed all the butler’s by the pool bringing coolers to their guests. It looks like a fun benefit that we will probably try next time.
We did a very quick visit to the Sandals Grand. The beach area was amazing and their restaurant on the water looked inviting. If you like the beach and beach activities definitely select this hotel. We were completely satisfied with the beach at Regency La Toc. Yes it was typical a yellow flag day and the water activities were not permitted but I was able to paddle board one afternoon.
The daytime pool activities are laid back but fun. Night time entertainment was nice.
We found all the bars to be superb! Friendly, efficient, timely and super helpful.
We didn’t have trouble getting dining reservations and we found the shuttle service to be very timely. One night we were waiting and a staff member at the hotel thought it was too long and summoned a driver for us.
We booked a few of our excursions before we arrived and the remaining ones at the desk at the resort. So easy to book and everything picks you up right at the hotel. We went on a scooter excursion and were the only couple. It was so nice they didn’t cancel it due to us being the only one. I would highly recommend doing a few excursions. It’s a nice way to see the island.
Another much deserved shout out to Geovane, he drives one of the shuttle vans he was the best. Knew our names, offered suggestions, so kind and helpful.
Sandals sells itself, we will definitely try Sandals again and we will definitely be back to Sandals Regency La Toc. Thank you for a week of a lifetime!
The best serve/cook ever 10/10 recommend would def come back
The food was good; however, the service was extremely poor throughout our stay. St Lucia is a very special destination for my wife and me, and, as we have stayed at Sandals resorts on several occasions, we chose Sandals Regency La Toc to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. Despite booking butler service, we were made to feel like second-class guests. On several occasions, we waited hours for a butler to respond—if anyone responded at all. Although we completed online check-in and submitted our requests a month in advance, we waited 45 minutes to access our room. When we were eventually taken there, we were simply dropped off with no introduction to the resort, no explanation of the facilities, and no welcome or orientation. Our stated preferences for the in-room cooler were not accommodated, and it took three days of repeated chasing before anything was done. More seriously, belongings left on our chair were stolen while we were away from the room, and the resort took no meaningful action in response. I escalated the matter to the Director of Guest Relations and Butlers, but the response was equally disappointing. She initially came to our room unannounced, introducing herself by saying, “You wanted to speak to a manager.” When I met her the following day in a more appropriate setting, she committed to providing either a refund or loyalty points. As we will not be returning to a Sandals resort, I requested a refund. However, no action was taken, and I was instead told to send an email. On our final day, I developed an ear infection and attended the resort doctor, for which I paid. I was told I would receive my medical report within three days. Three weeks later, despite repeated follow-ups, I have still not received it. I contacted Sandals La Toc again, but once again received no assistance. This was the worst holiday experience we have ever had. As a result, I have escalated the matter to ABTA, as Sandals has failed to resolve multiple serious issues. I would strongly recommend visiting St Lucia, which is beautiful, but I would advise against staying at this particular Sandals resort.
