Good Points: Exclusive estate - Picturesque scenery
Bad Points: Very small beach - Caribbean service i.e some time tomorrow - shabby decor outside - old and fatigued decor and furniture inside. Noisy in the main area as the "entertainment team" strive very hard to make this a Butlin's experience. Pool never ever cleaned and subsequently a scum of dead flies littered the pool, which the Water Sports Attendants clearly couldn't see through their Oakley's.
General comments: The Sandals St. Lucia Golf Resort & Spa offered so much and delivered so little. We had been given a free upgrade to a Honeymoon suite with Butler service, which was a complete waste of money for those who pay. You do not need a Butler in any way shape or form. Located on the ground floor of the four floor suite block on the Bluff the brochure stated exceptional views of the ocean - not so! Nice views of the villas roof's between our suite and the sea though.
Golf course? Well not as we know them - Mandatory Caddie $5 for 9 holes, but unhappy when given a $5 tip! Still, it only took 1 hour to play 9 holes - gives you some idea of the course.
This resort was 98% full of Americans, and of them 95% were newly weds on their honeymoon, and the whole place was set up for them to whoop and holler their way through the day in response to the highly charged entertainment staff.
5 Star this definitely isn't. It's Butlins with butlers and sun. Spend your money elsewhere!!

We were offered a movr to The Grand and taken there (which was nicer however with only seven days and having already unpacked and repacked we decided to stay as The R ...

We had a fantastic "weddingmoon" at Sandals Regency. We loved the resort and had a fantastic trip. The staff was friendly, the food was good, and the resort was beautiful. We liked the ability to go back and for to the Grande. That place is equally impressive. We felt there was more "day life" at the Grande and more "night life" at the Regency. Going back and forth was like getting the best of both worlds. We can't wait to go back! Stay away from the Halycon, very small and unimpressive.
