This blog article brings us back to my true love…Saint Lucia! If you’ve been following along with my previous articles, I shared my love affair with this lush island located in the Southern Caribbean filled with history, beauty, and romance. If you missed my previous articles no worries! You can still check out my overview of Saint Lucia and review of Royalton Saint Lucia.
Today we will be discussing resort options, in particular adults-only, Sandals Resorts located in Saint Lucia. Many of you are likely familiar with this luxury included resort brand specifically designed for couples in love. Sandals Resorts take all-inclusive to the next level by offering all guests 5-star global gourmet dining, top shelf beverages, airport transfers, even golf, land, and water sports…all included!
Sandal Resorts are the leading in the industry for destination weddings, honeymoons, and anniversary trips, so coupled with the romantic backdrop offered by the Saint Lucia landscape you can’t go wrong with a Sandals Saint Lucia vacation! Plus, all Sandals Resorts have luxury, club level, and butler accommodations available, so there is something for every budget and vacation style.
There are three Sandals Resorts on the island of Saint Lucia, each with its own vibe. I visited each of the resorts on my last trip and I loved all of them, but they each have their own distinct personality. How do you know which Sandals Resort to choose for your perfect vacation? Let me help with that. Keep reading!
