Lush & Tropical Saint Lucia

                                                                                                

Post Written By: Robin Wight, WPICC

Certified Wedding Coordinator

As a Sandals Certified Specialist, I love learning about what each resort has to offer! The beauty shown in the brochures does not compare to the experience you have as a Sandals guest.  I recently travelled to the lush, tropical island of St. Lucia with my husband and in-laws to experience Sandals Grande St. Lucian ourselves.  Learning that over half of St. Lucia is covered by rainforest and there is a drive-in volcano on the island, we were intrigued and excited to pick one of the three beautiful Sandals resorts on the island.  Although it was a tough choice, we chose the Grande St. Lucian for the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Suite.  This two bedroom suite offered us the unique experience of shared space to relax with my in-laws as well as the privacy we all sometimes need.   

Sandals certainly lives up to their motto of Luxury Included Vacations!  From the moment we stepped off the plane we felt like royalty. A luxurious white Escalade pulled up at the airport to transport us to the resort.  Kim, our driver, entertained us on the journey sharing the island's rich history with us and stopping along the way for photo ops.  Arriving at the resort we were met by Clynns, one of the two butlers who would be taking care of us during our stay.  Within minutes we were in our suite, sipping champagne and pinching ourselves at the beauty of it all!  Clynns had already made reservations for us each evening at the resort’s various restaurants, booked our complimentary photo shoot and stocked our suite with our preferred beverages.  We were a bit hesitant of booking a butler suite at first, seeing as we're not accustomed to such service.  But Clynns and Giselle, our second butler, showed us such hospitality and warmth that we can’t imagine experiencing it in the future any other way. 

The Grande St. Lucian is located at the tip of the island, meaning every morning we would wake up in our 4 poster King size beds with a view of the Atlantic Ocean and eat our breakfast on our second balcony overlooking the Caribbean Sea.  Steps from the Grande St. Lucian is historic Fort Rodney National Park, where we spent a wonderful morning.  Hiking through the ruins and enjoying breathtaking views was the perfect way to start the day, though most mornings were spent on the gorgeous, silky, white sand beach at The Grande, relaxing on beach chairs reserved for us by Giselle or Clynns.       

                                                                                          

We were really impressed by the selection and variety of food at each resort.  That was the biggest decision we had each day!  Did we feel like burgers on the beach, Mexican buffet, wood-fired pizzas or an Italian feast?  Our absolute favorites were Gordon's, located at the end of the pier, the perfect place for fine dining while watching the sun set and Kimono's at Sandals Regency La Toc.  Kimono's not only offered delicious Japanese cuisine but also thorough entertainment!  Here the chefs cook and carry on with the guests over the teppanyaki grill. 

Our butlers definitely were the extra special touch to our trip. Escorting us each evening to one of the restaurants where our table would be decorated with flowers and making tee times at Sandals Regency La Toc was just the start. Coming back to our rooms scattered with fresh flowers, sweet treats and bubble baths drawn made us feel like absolute royalty.  A lot more than just Luxury was included in this amazing vacation!

 

                                                                                                                                                   


 

Sandals Resorts – Ideal For Romance

                                                                                                                                            

 

Sandals Resorts didn’t invent the all inclusive concept, but over the years we have perfected it. For a decade we have won every award in the industry and we continue to be voted WORLD’S BEST LUXURY INCLUDED RESORTS.  We have raised the bar in the “all inclusive” world and we believe that the loyalty of our guests confirms our commitment to excellence. Many other hotel chains try to imitate us but remember the saying “imitation is the greatest form of flattery”. 

Why would you choose to go anywhere less than perfect? No other resorts in the world are so completely dedicated to couples in love as Sandals Resorts are. Each and every Sandals Resort has been designed to fulfill and exceed every need and wish that two people in love could ever possibly have.

Why are Sandals Resorts ideal for romance?

-All Sandals Resorts are for couples only – no singles or children are permitted on our properties

-Exotic locations and perfect beaches – Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia, Bahamas

-Luxurious Accommodations: Plush King-size beds in all rooms and suites

-Gourmet dining with candlelit tables for two

-Intimate ambiance at all resorts

-Sparkling entertainment under the sun and stars

Every single element of a Sandals vacation caters exclusively to couples in love and this is why our resorts are truly a paradise made for two!!

Cheers,

Gina

Recession Proof

 

Hello Canada,
I was just watching the news and I don’t know why I bother because I get really frustrated. These days all we hear about is the economy.  I believe the media has scared people so much and they have actually hurt the economy more than all the other factors that have put our great country into a recession. To be honest with you I am just as busy as I always am and if I didn’t read the newspapers or watch the news I probably would not even feel this recession.  What are your thoughts? Have you noticed a drop in business? 
I do have some great news to share with you; there is a market out there that has not and will not feel this recession.  This is the year you have to go out and reach what we call the “recession proof market”, HONEYMOONERS.
Here are some facts for you:
- 99% of all married couples take a honeymoon
- Honeymooners spend three times the amount of money on their honeymoon versus a regular vacation
-Honeymooners still rely heavily on industry professional when deciding on a destination
-Sandals Resorts in the number one destination of choice for honeymooners
Get out there and reach these couples and send them to the Caribbean Resorts that were created for two people in love.  Sandals Resorts offer the most lavish suites in the Caribbean and we have a honeymoon program that will be sure the please our newlyweds.
