These gorgeous Over-the-Water bungalows convey an intimate connection to the Caribbean Sea and deliver complete immersion of the fine turquoise waters and rich marine life below.

Inside, each bungalow is also equipped with a smart TV and a large ceiling fan to stay cool while enjoying fresh Caribbean breezes. The bathrooms are equipped with his and her sinks, a large backlit mirror adorned with mosaic tile, and a walk-in rain shower.

Outside, your private patio is also equipped with an extended sun deck, outdoor shower, sun loungers, and a bistro set for two.

We’ve talked about the food, and we’ve talked about the beach. Now let’s take a look at the grounds of the beautiful Sandals Grand St. Lucian Resort. You’ll find touches of romance everywhere you look and plenty of places to relax and soak up the sun.

Of course, the day I was taking most of these pictures was rainy! Just my luck. But the sun did clear after only about an hour of actual rain, and the next day was bright blue skies. You’ll see a mix of sunny and overcast pictures below!

Let’s start with the little touches of romance and happiness you’ll find throughout the resort.

You’ll find plenty of hammocks to relax, take a nap, read a book, or enjoy the Caribbean breeze.

This was the view from the hammock. I relaxed on it while the rain came through. It was lovely!

The Main Pool was lively and fun, with great bartenders and afternoon activities.

The Main Pool looks so cool at night, and there is often evening entertainment in this area. Check out my Chocolate Martini! I enjoyed it while waiting for that evening’s show, which happened IN the pool. It was so cool!

There are two quiet pools. One is located very close to the Main Pool. You can still hear the fun happening next door but in a more relaxed setting.

The other quiet pool is located farther away and is called the “Lovers Pool”. And look — it’s shaped like a heart.

You can enjoy massages at the end of the pier during the day.

You’ll find lots of fire pits located throughout the resort. They are great places to relax during the day and come to life at night.

We are fans of Sandals resorts for so many reasons.  Luxury included is just one of them.  Recently the Chairman and Founder of Sandals Resorts International, Gordon “Butch” Stewart sadly passed away but leaves a legacy of excellence for all to enjoy.  Butch once said that they look for their properties by selecting the most beautiful beach and locations in the Caribbean.  And this is certainly true!  

St. Lucia will soon open its fourth Sandals property which will make it even more difficult to decide which one to visit.  Well, maybe you will just have to visit all four!  One of our clients’ favorite St. Lucia Sandals is Regency La Toc.  Click here to find out more about this quaint Sandals property.

International travel advisories are constantly changing, but more importantly, the travel restrictions are constantly changing.

I will be heading to St. Lucia in a few weeks (get ready for some great info on Sandals Resorts!), and I’ve had to learn all about the requirements to get into St. Lucia, as well as the requirements to get home. I also needed to fully understand how the timing of my COVID-19 test while in St. Lucia is critical.

Luckily, I’m staying at a Sandals Resort, and they handle all of this at the resort, so you don’t need to leave to get a COVID-19 test.
