Sandals Grande St Lucia Spa and Beach Resort
St Lucia, Caribbean
Rodney Bay
Built in the style of a British palace, this fantastic hotel offers splendid views of the mountains and quick access to the island's spectacular beach. Sun loungers and parasols welcome guests to the white sands and the sea, but those vacationers who prefer freshwater can choose between 5 outdoor swimming pools within the complex. Whether they like a more active or a more leisurely wellness routing, guests are sure to appreciate the state-of-the-art gym and SPA centre. A refreshing drink at the hotel's bar, or a pleasant walk in search of the best place for dinner will prove the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Foodie + Beach
My wife and I are foodies we stayed for 11 nights
Breakfast at Toscanini was just average but always piping hot
Jerk Shack & Mariners for lunch is bomb everything and I mean everything. Get the mahi
Gordons we went twice first time the lamb chops were burnt and the filet mignon was like a NY strip as far as tenderness went it was trash. We went again and just got lamb chops and they were good but not great like Dunns River where my wife cried because they tasted identical to her moms before she passed
Tosconni for dinner was good, eat inside if you don’t like cats
Bombay 🔥🔥🔥 must have for sure get the signature dish and every appetizer
Kimonos was good it’s a lot of food and well seasoned
Soy was fresh very fresh all around we would hit it for appetizer then go to dinner
Crepes were amazing the apple one and blueberry just wow
Pizza was meh just average I wouldn’t waste a meal on it on a short trip.
The pub had a decent fish and chips for that late night snack but absolutely stay away from their desserts they all suck!
Room service nachos, cheese & meat plate were ok not great out of this world but ok enough when hungry. Chocolate cake was decent the others were mehhh
They need a coffee place and they are getting one soon. The coffee from the machines is straight trash if you want something sweet.
Get hand blended pina coladas not out of the machine it taste 10x better and ask for Appleton 12 don’t take the house rum we pay $1000 a night for a reason 😂
Beach is plush sand to the left of the pier like literal pillow sand you can see your feet shoulders deep. No seaweed No Sargassum no rocks until it’s probably 10 ft deep. To the right of the pier it is a little rocky.
Staff is very friendly EVERYONE and I mean everyone greets you in passing
Chocolate making class was a lot of work but very fun and free saved us from doing the overpriced chocolate making tour
At Regency La Toc we went to La Toc got the filet and it was the best filet of the entire trip. and kimonos as well which again a lot of food. Armando’s for lunch was out of this world good.
Highly recommend getting a cabana (if you book you next trip with island insider they give you $100 resort credit, ask them to get approval to apply towards cabana, they can and will) the cabana is $130 plus tip and worth EVERY PENNY. We did it twice because it was just peaceful, comfortable and convenient ask for Heather to be your server and when she serves you tell her Mr Champion said hello. 🙏🏻
Hope this helps you enjoy your stay
JJ’s speed boat is the only excision I would do if I was going for only 4 days, you’re back by 3 to enjoy the rest of the day on the beach and have a late dinner. You see the pitons and snorkel at the legit best snorkel spot I’ve been to in my life, it’s how Negril used to be before all the hurricanes over the last decade. They pick you up right from The doc and drop you off and includes lunch
SGSL Leadership Inaction
Taking to TripAdvisor now as my numerous attempts to reach SGSL leadership have been unsuccessful. Hoping someone will contact me as requested to resolve the issues we faced during our 25th Anniversary trip in July. I don’t need to share all the details and failures with the world but I do require someone of authority to contact me to attempt to address it appropriately. No need to tell me I should have done that at the time. I tried. Even the paultry goodwill gesture was never even honored. This is not a 5 Star experience.

Excellent Honeymoon Destination
We went to Sandals Grande St Lucian as part of our honeymoon and we were very impressed! The resort is situated very nicely on the beach, which was our favorite part of the resort! The food and drinks were great, and Laurin and Lance both provided excellent service. It was also great to sample the local cuisine at breakfast, and we enjoyed the Caribbean entertainment at night.
Lacking in some areas.
Came here on a presidents club trip. The staff are fantastic and can do everything for you.
The resort itself is lovely but it is feeling a bit dated tbh. It probably needs a revamp in some areas. The food is great and the restaurants on the beach and the pier are great. The beach is unbelievable.
The swim up pool is great but the service at this bar was slow.
We played golf on the included resort and this was a fine course to play. If it’s busy you can ask to start on 10 which helped as we were just a 2 ball.
The evening entertainment wasn’t great except the one night that had a beach party. There is an English bar inside that opens late but it needs updating. It looks far too old and lacks atmosphere.
Overall a good trip. But could improve to get better ratings.

Excellent service at Sandals Grande St Lucian
We highly recommend staying at the Sandals Resort Grande Lucian in St. Lucia. From the start of our trip till the end, we had impeccable service in all aspects. We were welcomed when we arrived with a beverage and cool towel. Our bags were taken to our room, they have a variety of accommodations from rooms with views of the gardens, pools or even overwater bungalows.
You’re in room mini fridge is stocked with a variety of beverages to your liking. It is refilled daily. Housekeeping definitely is attention to detail with plenty of towels, shampoo, soap, etc. They also tidy your room while you are at dinner or out listening to a variety of entertainment provided. As a frequent traveler, we were definitely impressed with the quality of food the morning buffet as well as Toscanini provided. Both allowed you to take in the beautiful ocean views while dining. The resort also has multiple options for swimming, with three pools (one with a swim up bar) one quiet pool or if you prefer being on the beach with umbrellas or clam shell sun tents are available to use. This trip to the Sandals Grande was an absolute delight and we’ll definitely be returning.
