Saint Lucia

St. Lucia is beautiful, you'll really enjoy it.

Try and leave the resort if you can - there are some beautiful little towns along the water, and of course hiking the Pitons is a must.

Have a Piton beer for me - the perfect tropical beer.

go outside of one of the three resorts and see the island.

Sandals food sucks except for the breakfast. make sure to tell bartenders how to make a drink or what liquors you want otherwise they will load you up with sugar.

They have changed the names, but is this the one on the hill or the smaller one. I dont think its the one next to the fort.

I believe it is the smaller one. I know it is between Grande & La Toc. Supposed to have just be renovated. Thanks for the heads up about the food & drinks.

you are kind of in the middle of everything, which is good. The resort was the lesser of the 3 though(but this is prior to a reno you talk about) The Grande has the best beach and scenery imo


But again, I stress leave the resort, the island is cool. They like to keep you and your potential money on site.

I did a jungle tour and a boat charter around the island.

We are heading out there at the beginning of March for our honeymoon, staying at cap maison. I know nothing about it, my fiancé did all the research. Hopefully its nice.

Has anyone played the golf course on the island? Is it decent? I'd like to play at least once while I'm out there but want to make sure it's worth it.

Stayed there a few years back. Great place. Very good food. Like others have said, travel off the resort. St Lucia is pretty safe and fun to explore

The rooms there are nice but its very humid. Also, the beach there is not great. The pool seemed to be where it was going on. Lots of honeymooners there as well.

The late night bistro is pretty good. Makes some good Nachos.


And my last piece of advice. Get drunk at the airport before you get in the cab/transport to go to the resort. Its a pretty good drive and its all mountains. You will need to be numb.. Drivers there pretty much do what they want


Have fun... Great place to relax

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

Honestly, the best times we had were just waking up, having breakfast, then swimming up to the pool bar and getting drunk with people we befriended.

This is spot on. We did the excursion one day, the grand one day and just chilled at the resort the rest of the time. Pool bar was the place to be and we had a blast meeting people and getting lit. The bartenders at the main pool were fun. They had music blasting, dancing and making really strong drinks. Not to mention we got upgraded to a cliff-side villa with a private pool. Had a hard time leaving that place.

I wouldn't unless you wanna barf. The winding roads going up and down can make you really car sick.

Glad someone else enjoyed that ride.
