| Originally we booked our Honeymoon at the Sandals Halcyon on St. Lucia, and after reading a million reviews, we decided to switch to the Grande. What a great decision. The place is beautiful - the beach has almost white sand - the water is clear blue - the stafee is so freindly - everything was perfect.

| The hotel was amazing and the staff was friendly. The activities office always had plenty of things to do and we found that we never had to leave the property. The food was good but not spectacular. The best restaruant is the barefoot by the sea. I would go back in a heart beat.

| We highly recommend this resort and the island of St. Lucia. The people are very friendly and welcoming. We had a splendid vacation. We are planning to return next year for our anniversary. We found lots of diversity at the resort. There were people vacationing from other countries; and there was a range of ages as well.

| The hotel was gorgeous, impressive from the moment you walked into the open air lobby. As you dropped your bags off, an attendent sat you down in the lobby, immediately took a drink order, and hurried off to check you into your room while you sat in the lobby overlooking Rodney Bay. This set the tone for the type of service that the resort had to offer - everyone who worked there was extremely friendly, and eager to cater to your needs. Food and drink were abundant. The food was good, but not excellent. There was so much of it, and a great variety, so I was satisfied anyways. The resort was my first visit to a Sandals all-inclusive hotel, and it probably won't be my last.

| We really enjoyed our stay here. However, I would recommend getting the concierge room. Otherwise, you cannot order any room service other than breakfast! Also, try and fly into the Castries airport or else you will have a 1 1/2 hour drive from the airport to your hotel.
