Amenity highlights
Three free-form pools provide alternatives to the resort's 500-yard beach. A huge main pool sprawls 250 feet along the beachfront and includes a swim-up bar and a semi-circular section containing a rock formation from which waterfalls cascade. Adjacent is a 20-person spa. A second, good-size pool is terraced just above the beach halfway between the main building cluster and the bluff. A large pool with rock waterfall lies within the Sunset Bluff lodging section and includes a swim-up bar. Adjacent to this pool is a 10-person spa on the edge of the bluff looking down to the sea.
Insider tip: As part of Sandals Regency's All-Inclusive Plan, guests are also entitled to dine and use facilities at Sandals' other St. Lucia resorts, Sandals Halcyon (three miles away) and Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa & Beach Resort (six miles). Complimentary shuttle service connects the three resorts. |
| Carved into the edge of a dramatic bluff directly over the sea, Sunset Bluff is actually a resort within a resort. The spectacular Sunset Bluff suites feature magnificent views so breathtaking they seem to flow into infinity. Some are two-story villas, many with their own private pools, while all include exclusive Butler Service. This private enclave offers every imaginable amenity, from a world-class Italian restaurant, an elegant bar and fitness center to a pool with a cascading waterfall. And 24-hour in-suite dining means that you can hide away from the rest of existence for as long as you wish, enjoying a vacation defined by its elite privilege. |

Recreation
|
At Sandals regency St. Lucia Golf Resort and Spa at La Toc, a round at the sporty 9-hole golf course is a perfect ending to a day at the sea. The course nettles in a picturesque valley surrounded by lush, villa-studded hills, its emerald, undulating terrain punctuated by bursts of crepe myrtle, bougainvillea and other flamboyant blossoms.
Measuring only 3,141 yards, this layout is short but not always sweet. Erratic breezes often make club selection a nail-biting dilemma, and several holes are as tight as tunnels, demanding laser like accuracy of the tee. On the par-3 down hill on the 8th hole, for example, a mere fade or draw could land you in a jungle of white cedars, mango and almond tress and bamboo.
The majority of recreational activities noted below are included in the room rate for this resort. Play is complimentary, but fees are charged for caddies and shoe rental (mandatory). Clubs and carts are available for a fee. Other recreational facilities and equipment are complimentary, including five tennis courts (all lighted), kayaks, windsurfers, sailboats, snorkeling gear, waterskis, and scuba diving gear and trips. Land sports include basketball, croquet, horseshoes, shuffleboard, beach volleyball, and pool. |

My husband and I are celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary at the Sandals Royal Bahamian during Memorial Day Weekend. We booked a concergie room- it it worth it to upgrade to the butler suites?
|
|
|
|
|
| Thanks on your note and congrats on the 1 year anniversary.
1) The upgrade to butler really depends on the difference in cost and what is important to you. The butler rooms at SRB are definitely nicer than the concierge ones, the butler service is always a nice touch, and private rolls/Mercedes transfers are always welcomed. But of course, the upgraded room costs more - so depending on your details, I could better give you a feel for the difference in costs.
2) I assume that you booked thru Sandals directly since you are asking us your questions. If you did, and still haven't made final payment yet, you can still request to switch your existing reservation to our agency (with no changes/costs) and we can work with you to both advise you on room decisions and also send a note to the manager before you arrive, ensuring they know it's both your anniversary and hopefully getting you the best possible upgrade based on availability.
Let us know and we'll be glad to assist.

order)
El Dorado Maroma, El Dorado Seaside, Secrets Maroma,
The Royal Playa del Carmen, Secrets Capri, Royal Hideaway, and Excellence Playa Mujeres.
We'd be glad to discuss the good and bad of each and provide pricing.
Congrats on 30 years.

My husband and I are looking into belated summer (june - aug) beachy honeymoon. We eat out at nice restaurants and cook well. Food and drink are probably the most important to us. Golf is an added plus. Is there an all inclusive that you sould recommend for us foodies?
|
|
|
|
|
| We'd be glad to assist you. Don't know if you have a locations that you are interested in or not....but here are some resorts that come to mind.
1) Riviera Maya Mexico-
El Dorado resorts have the best food in our opinion. No buffets, all cooked to order meals....blows us away every time we go. They have 3 different resorts, each with their own good/bad that we can walk you thru. No golf included, but available nearby.
Other options in the area we'd recommend are:
Iberostar Grand Paraiso - great resort, great food, discounted golf walking distance away
Secrets Maroma - great resort, great food, discounted golf nearby
2) Sandals -
New Sandals just opened in Exuma, Bahamas. Restaurants are all brand new, top notch and the resort sits on a Greg Normal golf course with discounted rates. Bahamas also offering buy 1/get 1 free special on the airfare. All butler property.
Other sandals would work also.
Looking forward to your feedback.

As the largest Sandals property in St. Lucia, this is perfect for couples on both short and long visits to the island. The 9 hole golf course is a nice added feature. Overall, great beach and tons of restaurant choices. Probably our most popular Sandals St. Lucia choice due to the fact that it's usually less expensive than Sandals Grande, offers lots of room choices, and has lots of options in the concierge and butler room catagories.
