Honeymoon Reviews

03/31/2008   This resort was beautiful! The people were great-you couldn't find anyone nicer! One suggestion-make sure you see a picture of the room you will be staying in because we originally booked a middle of the line room and when we got there it was totally not what we expected and were very disappointed. When we upgraded it was exactly what we wanted and expected and if we would have known that to begin with we would have paid the extra money right off the bat. Our travel agent should have done a better job. I would 100% go back to St. Lucia and stay at a Sandals resort anywhere! Honeymooners from Homer City.

10/29/2007   Sandals regency was definitely a great wedding/honeymoon destination. I highly recommend it.

07/14/2007   Our honeymoon was wonderful!!! From the food to our butlers everthing was perfect.

07/11/2007   We went first class all the way for our resort honeymoon at Sandals Regency in St. Lucia. The resort was beautiful, the staff was friendly and their was food at every turn! Our room was a beautiful two-story suite with a stocked bar, jacuzzi tub and our own private pool overlooking the cliffs and water. It was breath taking to wake up to every morning! We have no complaints about the resort at all but if we could do it again we would have looked into the less expensive rooms. We only used our pool twice and the jacuzzi tub once because their was so much more to do and the pools with the swim up bars and bartenders were much more fun. We were mostly in our room to sleep and shower, we hardly used our living area at all. However, I recommend staying within the level of rooms to atleast have the butler service or the concierge service. Our butlers took care of everything for us - right from our rooms. No lines at check in and they arranged all of our tours for us. Also - it was wonderful to have 24 hour room service. The island tours were AMAZING. We chose a private island tour with just us and a driver instead of taking an island tour with a large group. It was about $20 extra per person and totally worth it. The driver took us places we would not have normally stopped at on a group tour, took our pictures for us and taught us a lot about St. Lucia.

08/07/2006   We were very trepidatious after reading the mixed reviews. We just got back last night from our week-long honeymoon at the Regency. Although the vacation was adequate, we would not consider staying at another Sandals resort. I'll try to remember everything: Food -- Edible/passable is the description I heard from most other guests. There is lots and lots of food to eat and we were surprised when we actually got something really tasty. We're not food snobs -- we like McDonald's and then we like really fine restaurants. Some of the diners who ate with us at Kimono were from the Grande and the Halcyon and said our restaurants were better than both, which is a sad situation. We ate at Armando's, La Toc and Kimono and they were decent. If we went to any of those restaurants here in the States, we wouldn't go back. If you really like filet mignon, avoid any beef selections. The Pavilion was generally decent for breakfast and lunch. There were birds and some flies at Pavilion and Arizona's, but they didn't bother us at all -- I mean, it's outdoors. We ate at TGIFridays in the airport between flights last night and it was better than any meal we had at Sandals. Room -- We booked a concierge-level honeymoon oceanview room -- the aqua blue ones in the picture attached. I've also attached our 'ocean' view pictures, which are mostly buildings and trees. The room looked in no way like the picture on the Web site or in the brochures. The bathroom seemed newly renovated but the rest of the room was a little shabbier, although it was always really cooled off on the sitting room level. The bedroom level had its own A/C unit but stayed hot the whole time. For the ladies: the bathroom and bedroom are very poorly lit and it's hard to do makeup. The blowdryer in the room works but you have to press a button down the entire time you're using it, so I'd bring one with you if that's important to you. We had the in-room fridge and bar so that was nice when we went to the pool or on our tours and trips because we could take bottled drinks with us for the ride. Otherwise, it was kind of a waste. I mistakenly thought room service came with the concierge-level suites but it doesn't. I like to be lazy on vacation sometimes. We could hear every time our neighbors flushed their toilet. Activities -- We went on the Soufriere Adventure Cruise, which is the same as the Land and Sea Tour, but you go to the volcano on a huge catamaran boat instead of by bus. Everyone we talked to who took the bus wished they'd done the cruise instead, because the groups then met up at the volcano (horrifically smelly, like being inside a litterbox) and then ate a pretty bad lunch at a local restaurant that had great views and architecture (see pictures). After the volcano we went to the botanical gardens, which were lovely, and after the lunch we went to a bay for snorkeling. Great trip except for the volcano. We also floated in the Regency main pool, went out on the hobie-cat catamaran, did the floating trike thing and took the free snorkeling trip. That was great -- try to get the earliest booking because there were only about 8 people on ours and the boat captain stopped on the way to the bay because we saw 3 huge pilot whales and we got to look and take pictures. I'd try that first before you book the whale/dolphin watching tour. We went to the staff talent show and played Name That Tune, both of which were enjoyable. Grounds -- There is construction going on at the Regency which you might not know about. We had a couples massage the last day (very nice, but very expensive and I swear they used vegetable oil as their massage oil -- I can still smell it) and I met a woman who got a free massage because construction was right outside her room. The landscaping and trees and all were very pretty, but there is a lot of walking and a LOT of steps involved. Castries, St. Lucia, Soufriere and Sandals were all beautiful and there were lots of photo opportunities. Service -- As a rule, the staff were all very pleasant, helpful and efficient. Nobody was ever rude and they always seemed willing to help. Other stuff -- We missed the shopping tour to the Castries market, but we took a taxi (just ask at the front desk) for $10 to the market and the La Place Carenage duty-free shopping center. We asked our cab driver to come back and he picked us up right on time. The vendors are slightly pushy but just smile and say 'no, thank you' and they'll back off. I've seen it so much worse in Mexico and the Bahamas so I was impressed. We only tipped for the massage and for the taxis and luggage handlers at the airport. We brought 2 cans of bug spray and didn't use them once. Sunglasses, bathing suit cover-ups, comfortable clothes and sunscreen were what we wore all week. The new Coppertone 30 SPF continuous spray sunscreen rocks, but we used almost 2 full bottles of it on my husband alone, so bring extra. One more thing -- My husband doesn't drink and I drank some wine a few nights, but we were thinking maybe the food tastes better if you've been drinking? I sure hope so! We chose the Regency because it sounded like a fun vacation where people go to have fun and meet other people and relax -- I guess like a spring break atmosphere with adults and no kids. It just didn't really feel that way.

07/20/2006   Everything was just o.k. The staff was a little rude,and as there is no tipping,it was hard to improve service. It took a long time to get anything from the concierge.If I had to do it over, I might choose another resort on the island.

07/17/2006   My husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon at Sandals Regency in St. Lucia. It was spectacular! We can't say enough good things about the resort, villa, food and staff. We had the Honeymoon Oceanview One Bedroom Villa. It had a fabulous view of St. Lucia and the ocean. Everyday we had a staff member clean our villa and everynight we had a staff member turn down our bed. We really enjoyed the restaurants. We thought the service and food were excellant at all of the restaurants. The main pool had an awesome swim up bar. You were always able to get a drink quickly. Chairs and towels were always available poolside. There were plenty of activities to keep you busy or you can just relax. Maybe the only downside was the amount of steps we had to walk to our villa. We had to go up a number of stairs, but we had a spectacular view! The piano bar was a lot of fun. Guest were hanging around the piano and singing. The spa was beautiful! The weather was definitely hot in May. I believe it was 90 everyday. We had about 5 minutes of reain the whole week. My husband and I can't wait to go back. We absolutely loved it and it was worth every penny.
