Three resorts, one island paradise: Explore how each Sandals in St. Lucia delivers its own signature blend of luxury, leisure, and all-inclusive Caribbean romance.
Written By: Geoff Millar, Owner – Ultimate All Inclusive Travel
Last month we looked at the Beaches Resorts. This month we will begin our tour of the Sandals Resorts. We are going to start with the Sandals Resorts on the Island of St. Lucia. There are 3 of them: Sandals Regency La Toc, Sandals Halcyon Beach, and Sandals Grande St. Lucian. We will start with the Sandals La Toc, the original Sandals on the island of St. Lucia.
Sandals Regency La Toc
Set on a sprawling 220-acre estate of rolling hillside, Sandals Regency La Toc is a stunner. This is a resort that inspires from every angle — whether you’re peering down at the shore from the private pool of your ocean view villa or enjoying a glass of wine on your beachfront patio. Swim up to the bar or dine by the water — and savor all the dining at two nearby Sandals Resorts in Saint Lucia. If you’re into putting around, our nearby Cap Estate Golf & Country Club offers an 18-hole course with breathtaking ocean vistas.
Sandals Regency La Toc is home to 323 stunning rooms and suites that are superbly decorated and offer a selection of views over the ocean or manicured gardens. From secluded villas perched on a bluff to two-story oceanfront suites, Sandals Regency La Toc offers a getaway that’s far from the everyday. Sandals Regency La Toc offers you three different room types: Sandals Luxury (the budget option), Club Sandals (the concierge option), and Butler Elite (the luxurious option with a private butler). All accommodations come with free WIFI, updated amenities and 24 hr. room service.
Dining at Sandals Regency La Toc is a culinary journey with 10 unique restaurants offering everything from Italian to Caribbean to Asian-inspired dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for something elegant or casual, each spot delivers incredible flavors and top-notch service for an unforgettable meal. You can also use the dining options of the other two Sandals Resorts.
In the water or on dry land, there’s something for everyone at Sandals Regency La Toc. You can do as much as you want to do — even PADI® Certified Scuba Diving in spectacular waters — or absolutely nothing at all because it’s all included, all unlimited, all the time. Every water sport imaginable is included along with top-of-the-line equipment and professional instruction. Sandals includes a full range of water sports like:
• Kayaks
• Windsurfing
• Snorkeling
• Hobie Cats
• Paddle Boarding
From the sands to the courts, Sandals includes unlimited land sports so there are no limits to what you can play or when you can play, including:
• Beach Volleyball
• Lawn Chess
• Croquet
• Pool Tables
• Cards
• Golf
• Bocce Ball
• Horseshoes and golf nearby
This resort is Sandals’ original resort on St. Lucia. The beach is small, but you have the use of the other two resorts. The resort is spread out and has several hills to walk, but you can call for a golf cart to transport you around the resort. It is located in a beautiful setting.

Sandals Halcyon Beach
The next Sandals Resort we will look at is the Sandals Halcyon Beach. It is the smallest, most intimate of the three Sandals Resorts. An intimate low-rise resort bordered by tropical gardens and fantastic white-sand beaches, Sandals Halcyon Beach makes it easy to soak up Saint Lucia’s natural wonder. With features like an overwater restaurant and the Caribbean’s longest — and most laid-back — pool, this resort lets you fully sink into island life. Beyond the resort, there’s even more to see and savor. Your stay includes green fees at our Cap Estate Golf & Country Club, an 18-hole course, and access to dining at two nearby Sandals Resorts in Saint Lucia.
Its 169 rooms highlight true Caribbean architecture, all in one- and two-story buildings amidst a kaleidoscope of colors from the secluded and lush gardens. From our signature thatch-roof Rondoval Cottages to Oceanfront Butler Suites, Sandals Halcyon Beach offers a getaway that’s far from the everyday. All accommodations come with free WIFI, updated amenities and 24 hr. room service.
The Caribbean is a treat for your senses, and we make sure it’s a feast for your taste buds, too. Our talented local chefs serve both island favorites and global flavors. With six restaurants and seven bars at Sandals Halcyon Beach, there’s something to satisfy every craving at this all-inclusive resort. At Sandals Halcyon Beach, a talented team of award-winning chefs bring you a variety of delicious dishes from all over the world. Enjoy fresh seafood at Kelly’s Dockside, classic Italian at Mario’s, tasty stir-fry at Kimonos, and sushi at Soy Sushi Bar.
High adventure calls at Sandals Halcyon Beach with every water sport imaginable including PADI®-certified scuba diving, a spa, nightly entertainment and extraordinary dining. Your sense of adventure shifts into overdrive as you try to choose from an endless list of exciting options. Exploration, discovery, and sheer fun fill your days, while dazzling entertainment and distinctive dining conjure up the magic of your nights. From the sands to the courts, Sandals includes unlimited land sports so there are no limits to what you can play, when you can play, including:
• Table Tennis

This resort is smaller, quieter, and more intimate and relaxing than the two Sandals Resorts, but you have full use of the other two Sandals Resorts. It does have a great beach, long and great for walking.

Sandals Grande St. Lucian
The last Sandals Resort on St. Lucia we will look at is the Sandals Grande St. Lucian. This resort was originally the Hyatt Regency Resort. It is the most active of the three Sandals Resorts as far as watersports and beach activities.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian is perched on Rodney Bay, an area known for 360-degree views of both the Atlantic and the Caribbean. No matter where you’re looking, it’s hard to miss the Pitons, two volcanic peaks rising like gentle giants from the sea. Get an even better view from the balcony of the three-story lobby — or just chill in an Overwater Bungalow by the beach. There’s more to explore with dining at two nearby Sandals Resorts in Saint Lucia, plus our Cap Estate Golf & Country Club, an 18-hole course, with green fees on us.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian is home to 311 beautiful rooms and suites that have wonderful sea views or views over the luscious gardens and pools. Sandals room levels are divided into three main categories: Luxury, Club Level, and Butler Elite. The Luxury level offers standard all-inclusive amenities, while Club Level includes additional benefits like room service and access to a dedicated concierge. The top-tier Butler Elite level provides the most personalized experience with a private butler to handle all your needs. They also have the very private Rondoval suites with private pool as well as the over-the-water bungalows. All accommodations come with free WIFI, upgraded amenities, and 24 hr. room service.
Enjoy a world of flavors with cuisine from Italy, England, Jamaica, India, and the Orient. From elegant pier dining to casual beachside meals, every experience is complemented by Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wines and Jamaica Blue Mountain Blend Coffee. The Caribbean is a treat for your senses, and we make sure it’s a feast for your taste buds, too. Our talented local chefs serve both island favorites and global flavors. With 12 restaurants and seven bars at Sandals Grande St. Lucian, there’s something to satisfy every craving at this all-inclusive resort. You also have access to all the dining options of the other two Sandals Resorts. They also provide transportation between resorts.
In the water or on dry land, there’s something for everyone at Sandals Grande St. Lucian. You can do as much as you want to do — even PADI® certified scuba diving in spectacular waters — or absolutely nothing at all because it’s all included, all unlimited, all the time. Every water sport imaginable is included along with top-of-the-line equipment and professional instruction. Sandals includes a full range of water sports like:
• Kayaks
• Waterskiing
• Snorkeling
• Paddle Boarding
• Kneeboarding
• Wakeboarding
• Windsurfing
• Sailboats
From the sands to the courts, Sandals includes unlimited land sports so there are no limits to what you can play, when you can play, including:
• Table Tennis
• Golf
• Beach Volleyball
• Board Games
• Pool Tables
• Croquet
• Day & Night Tennis
This Sandals Resort sits on a great beach on Rodney Bay. It has the best beach and selection of watersports of the three Sandals Resorts on St. Lucia and is the only one with the over-the-water bungalows.
One thing to remember is that Sandals Resorts are couples only. They control this by only having king-sized beds in each accommodation.
