Review of Sandals St. Lucia Golf Resort ...

We ve just got back from our wonderful weddingmoon...

We ve just got back from our wonderful weddingmoon at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian and to say it was beyond our expectations is an understatement! From the moment we arrived on the resort we were greeted with a glass of champagne which was lovely, especially after such a long journey. Our luggage was taken off our hands to be delivered to our rooms once we d checked in so all in all we couldn t of asked for a better welcome. Our room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea and on arrival the room was nicely decorated to welcome us for our wedding there. We couldn t of asked for a better on-site wedding planner as Monica made sure everything was as we wanted for our wedding day. She made sure the ceremony and the reception went better than we anticipated and for that we ll always be grateful as Monica ensured our wedding day truly was the best day of our lives. The guys working at our wedding reception were exceptional. Gasius, Tad & Jevon were attentive, fun, precise and most certainly went beyond the means of their jobs. Our wedding photographer, Gemma also couldn t of done a better job. He made us feel totally at ease with his quick wit and professionalism, not to mention the photos he took were incredible! We can t remember our wedding videographer s name but he definitely deserves a mention as our wedding video brings tears to our eyes every time we watch it and the same goes for all our family and friends who ve watched it. For our wedding my wife had her hair/make up done at the Red Lane Spa and she was over the moon with the job they done. Aside from our wedding day we also feel a number of other people deserve a special mention for making us feel important and helping any way they could during our stay. Eggon, who works on reception was a delight to talk to and he always made sure he helped us as efficiently as possible if we had any queries. As with any wedding there were a few stressful moments and things we needed help with and the general manager, Philius did everything he could to put our minds at ease. The food on the resort was exquisite and the staff were always attentive and polite. We went to Gordon s twice and both times Quristal and Benjamin were brilliant. And to top everything off the entertainment team always made sure something was going on to keep a smile on your face. Our favourite shows in the night were- Newly Wed not so Newly Wed (which we won) was hilarious, the St. Lucian rum we won will go down lovely. The resort staff talent night was immense! Reggae night was a very good night and the beach BBQ night was incredible! This was our first time at a Sandals resort and we ll be returning to the Grande St. Lucian to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary because it was genuine paradise for us!
