Sandals Resorts is currently offering up to 65% off packages at thier resorts. For anyone not familiar with Sandals Resorts they are the perfect resort for destination weddings, honeymoons, or just a romantic getaway- they are all-inclusive and couples only.
Sandals has resorts on Jamaica, the Bahamas, Antigua, and St. Lucia. My husband and I spent our honeymoon (3 years ago! wow time flies!) at the Sandals Regency on St. Lucia, one of three Sandals Resorts on the island. We had never been to St. Lucia and never traveled to an all-inclusive resort before so we really didn’t know what to expect. We had heard good reviews but we were still blown away by the beauty of the island and the Sandals service when we arrived.
St Lucia is very mountainous and the airport is long ride from the resort, up to 2 hours. We read a tip online suggesting the most convenient and scenic way to get to the resort is to arrange a helicopter tour. Since we had never taken a helicopter ride before we set it up in advance through Sandals. This was one of the few things we spent money on during our trip since everything else was all-inclusive. The ride was $250 fo the two of us and well worth it. Not only were we to the resort in about 20 minutes, we enjoyed the most breathtaking views of the island. My only regret is that we did not do this again on the way back- it was that beautiful.
Once we arrived at Sandals we were greeted by a hotel staffer with tropical drinks who helped us check-in quickly and escorted us to our room. Our room was just as promised in the pictures we saw online.
We spent the next 6 days enjoying everything the resort had to offer. Having never traveled to an all-inclusive resort we were skeptical about the dining options. We were wrong. There were 8 excellent restuarants to chose from and we had the option of going over to one of the other two Sandals and dining in thier restaurants. The food at every place we dined was outstanding. No complaints from either of us. On our last night in St. Lucia my husband arranged a beach candlelight dinner. This was not included in our package but it is something I would reccomend to anyone visiting Sandals. It was the perfect ending to a perfect honeymoon, dining under the stars right next to the ocean.
Overall our trip was relaxing and laid back. We spent our days lounging by the ocean. We took advantage of most of the hotel ammenities including the spa services which were amazing. Everyone we encountered from the Sandals staff was helpful and friendly. They went out of thier way to be accomodating no matter what the request was.
We felt like we had a very luxurious honeymoon but even with the extras we didn’t feel like we spent a lot of money for the trip.
