re: Saint Lucia

wife and I honeymooned at LaToc last September and had an absolute blast. I highly recommend the Soufriere Fountain of Youth Tour. Awesome way to view the island in a day. You take a catamaran from Castries down the coast, tour a botanical garden, bath in natural hot springs, awesome waterfall, tour a coco plantation, snorkel, then get hammered on rum punch on the ride back.

We didn't go to Halycon but we did hit the Grand for a day. It's a much newer place and absolutely beautiful. Beach is really nice there. LaToc has great restaurants, bars and pools. Beach isn't that great. Enjoy your trip; can't go wrong with Sandals
