Selecting the best St Lucia Sandals Resort
St Lucia is one of the most popular Caribbean Islands we work with and has long been a top honeymoon/romance destination. In fact on any given flight to St Lucia the majority of the plane will be couples celebrating honeymoons, anniversaries and other milestones together. It makes sense that Sandals Resorts would have 3 resort options on this romantic island since they are the resorts designed for 2 people in love! So how do you select the best St Lucia Sandals resort?
Here are the questions we recommend you answering to help narrow down your Sandals resort options…
- Do you love the beach and ocean water sports? Or do you prefer the pool? Does it not really matter and you like a mix of both?
- Do you prefer a quiet, laid back resort or one that offers extensive entertainment day and night and also offers a bit of nightlife?
- Do you like large resorts or ones with a smaller footprint
- Do you prefer modern contemporary accommodations or do you not spend a lot of time in your room?
- Do you like special accommodation amenities like swim-out rooms or rooms with private pools?
- Are you budget conscious or do you save all year to splurge on a luxury vacation?
Once you answer these questions it is fairly easy to narrow down the best Sandals Resort option for you on St Lucia, but if you are still having a hard time we have the answer for that at the end of this post!
