St Lucia Couples Holidays

Sara Benton

We had an amazing holiday here. The staff were so friendly, cheery and helpful. The room was well thought out, with a hair drier, dressing table with a large mirror and chair, magnifying mirror, ironing board, kettle, safe etc. The hotel was spotless. Food was plentiful and gorgeous. Lovely cocktails and well stocked self serve bar. Nice beech easily accessible with the shuttle bus, sun beds available and a member of staff to keep an eye out. Coffee bar with book exchange. Activities available including a walk / visit to the Lighthouse (free). Gym. All good and whilst we were here it was fairly quiet and relaxed, plenty of beds and sunbeds available 😀.

Coming to the end of a lovely, relaxing stay at Bel Jou. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of sockets, all UK style in the room we were in. Lower pool has a self serve bar with soft drinks, spirits and wines, while the top pool has a cocktail and snack bar. Plenty of sunbeds around both. There are two restaurants, Veranda is the main buffet with great views down over Castries and the sea, while Hummingbird is an air conditioned al la carte. Both served excellent quality food, though sometimes signage wasn’t clear for vegetarians/vegans and choices were sometimes a little limited. The hotel runs a free shuttle bus several times a day (not Sundays and Wednesdays) down to the beach and town, both are well worth a visit. Free sunbeds are provided on the beach and there are vendors selling drinks and snacks. Saturday is market day in the town with many stalls around the centre, there’s also a Massys supermarket/pharmacy for anything extra you might need. Staff have been lovely, special shout out to, Devon, Vionce, Princess, Keshia and Sam who go out their way to make sure you have a wonderful stay!

My partner and I stayed here for 6 days. Everything about this resort is wonderful! The food, drinks, night-time and daytime activities were wonderful! The food is diverse and not your typical continental American-style food which I really appreciated. We were able to get a real taste of Creole food without having to venture far away! The drinks were absolutely slamming. The staff was very polite, very very helpful and very friendly! We arrived way before check-in time and Stasi was kind enough to let us have lunch and hang out until our room was ready. Thank you to the Bel Jou staff - we will definitely be returning!

I had a wonderful stay at the Bel Jou Hotel. The staff was warm and welcoming, the room was cosy and clean, and the location was peaceful yet convenient. Plus, the free shuttle to the beach made getting around so easy. I highly recommend it!

Definitely worth the trip. This hotel is for those looking for a serene getaway, to relax, enjoy nature and views, away from the busy town life. Plenty activities and in-hotel entertainment to enjoy and the staff is the best. Extremely attentive, kind and always willing to assist anyway they can. I would 100% recommend and I still have a couple days left to enjoy while writing this review.

My husband and I just finished our honeymoon at Halcyon beach and have nothing but positive things to say. All the staff is extremely nice and dedicated to making sure you’re having a great time. The facilities are great and not crowded at all. All the food was fabulous. There is something here for every traveler whether you enjoy the beach, pool life or excursions. St Lucia is an amazing place!

My husband and I had the best week at Sandals Halcyon Beach. It is absolutely beautiful, fun, and the staff is amazing. The staff got to know us by name and provided excellent personalized service. Chris at the Iris bar knew our preferred drinks and came to find us on the upper level and brought us more drinks before we went down to order them. Shaquille at the Iris bar also provided top notch service. Everyone at the club Sandals lounge was wonderful. They had fun activities during the wine tasting and martini tasting. Angie was hilarious and made the activities so fun! The resort has activities you can participate in or do your own thing. We really enjoyed all the activities and games. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

Jacob Mahaffey

Our honeymoon at Sandals Halcyon Beach was absolutely amazing! The service was beyond exceptional—everyone went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room was always spotless, the fridge was fully stocked, and the dinners were delicious every night. We especially loved the convenience of room service and not having to worry about anything with the all-inclusive setup. We enjoyed a relaxing couples massage, sailed on the Hobie Cats, and even did a catamaran snorkeling excursion that the staff scheduled for us—it was a blast! Every staff member we met was warm, friendly, and genuinely interested in getting to know us. It made the whole experience feel personal and unforgettable. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

My wife and I spent 8 days here in a swim up butler suite. The resort is a nice small and quiet resort making it easy to move around the resort. Our butlers Gibson, Crystal A, and Crystal C. made the trip very relaxing making sure we had a place at the pool or beach anytime we wanted. They also took great care getting us reservations to all our dinners. This is our 3rd time stay at a Sandals and have never been disappointed. We are both certified divers so we enjoy the easy of diving at Sandals resorts. The diving was about. 10-15 minute drive from the resort and about a 30 min to 1 hour boat ride to the dive sites. There was a lot of different sea life we were able to see including turtles, sea horses, and cuttlefish to name a few. The dive boat was always command the dive staff took good care that everyone had an enjoyable experience. I would definitely go back in the future.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Sandals Halcyon Beach. The resort is a beautiful and intimate garden style with stunning tropical flowers throughout. The staff were all very kind and accommodating. The only two issues we faced were the distance from the airport (long and curvy, mountainous drive) and the roaming beach solicitors. Besides these two inconveniences it was a very pleasant stay.

Julie Gordon

Just back from a wonderful holiday at Anse Chastanet resort and we can't wait to go back! The first thing to know is that it is built on a hillside and very steep so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, although they do offer shuttles around the resort from room to beach etc. The staff are amazing, using and remembering your names, which was impressive. The food is like fine dining every day. Delicious!! The place is absolutely beautiful with a lovely beach. Nice little touches made us feel important to the resort. Highly recommended.

Harry Findlay

My fiance and I had the most wonderful stay here. The location was fantastic with two beaches with more than ample space. The Hotel had a brilliant vibe with out feeling overcrowded at any stage. Our room was spectacular with the most special views of both the sunset and the pitons. Sharmaley ensured our stay was extra special in every way she was so welcoming and attentive through out our stay. Peter the GM was also very charming and exudes enthusiasm which was contagious.

Dan G

We did not stay at the resort directly but rather at an affiliated property with direct access to the resort facilities, and the staff have been the friendliest we have met in St Lucia. the beach, food and drinks are excellent and the facilities + location are overall amazing. A big shout out also to Jonathan for being the most welcoming and helpful host you could wish for. Our stay would not have been the same without him! Many thanks!

Pete

The staff is wonderful esp the shuttle staff Orion and Roger. The location is great. Feels like a private secluded beach with tons of privacy. Some steep walkways and stairs but feels good afterwards to walk off drinks and food. There are some rooms without ac which was mine and I struggled as it was hot. If possible ask for an ac room as they have very few of them. I hate to say this but the food needs some more love.

Anse Chastanet is a beautiful resort with incredible views of the tropical greenery and the Caribbean Sea. The open-air design, where some rooms only have 3 walls and no A/C is meant to help guests reconnect with nature. It’s charming in theory but for longer stays like ours it wasn’t very practical. Even with five ceiling fans and four oscillating fans the nights were hot, sticky and noisy. The staff was one of the highlights of our trip. Most were incredibly pleasant, helpful, cheerful, and engaging – or at least ambivalent but never rude. Special shout-outs to Gifter, who was always there to help with a smile and lovely conversations; Chloe, who was a great fill-in waitress (we wish we’d had her behind the bar too!); Esther, who was consistently thoughtful and kind, and Janelle, Junior, and Sidney, who remembered us at the beach or bar after the first couple of days. And we can’t forget Parker who gave us the best drink tasting we’ve ever experienced – across countless wine, beer, and spirit tastings on three continents. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and the rums and tailored the tasting perfectly to each of our preferences was perfectly entertaining. The Thursday night Jazzy cruise was another highlight, thanks to Dylan’s entertaining saxophone and Lecia’s fantastic bartending both on the boat and at the Beach Bar. The “drive through volcano” excursion was somewhat interesting but really didn’t give much more than one could find online. While the guide was funny and informative, it’s not like you see a dramatic lava pit – more like bubbling mud and steam. Food was hit or miss. The Indian cuisine at the Beach Bar were the best meals we had on the island. However, dinner at Jade Mountain was very disappointing and didn’t justify the steep upcharge. Service was slow, and the “crispy eggplant” was anything but crispy. We found ourselves pouring our own water and lighting our own candle while nearby tables received the attentive service we expected at a place so highly rated. Portions were also noticeably small. Lastly, we were surprised that *All* breakfast options at the Treehouse other than the Petit Piton buffet were $40. Regardless of whether it was just a waffle or a full plate of eggs and bacon. Not a problem when you sign up for the all-inclusive package, but odd to pay VAT and mandatory 10% tip on a $40 plate of bacon and eggs. Overall, there were definite highlights, especially the wonderful staff, the fantastic rum tasting and the natural beauty and architecture of the resort. But the lack of air conditioning, uneven dining experiences and a few underwhelming excursions left us feeling the stay fell a bit short of the price.

Went for our honeymoon and had a fantastic time! Food was great and the service was even better. Everyone at the resort from the front desk, cleaning services, and food staff were friendly and eager to make your stay better. Great excursions available, shout out to Lulu on the Jeep rainforest and volcano tour, she was expectational and made our trip very memorable! My only negative comment was that the rooms did feel a bit dated and only had 2 USA outlets to charge devices.

Jack Rude

This resort for our honeymoon was great and I would recommend it to others. The staff created a welcoming and exciting environment. We especially enjoyed meeting Peter at the pool bar. The Peter special is to die for and he himself is extremely down to earth and wants to take care of all guests. Peter stood out as he went above and beyond to ensure all guests were taken care of. One complaint would be the restaurants service, specifically the Italian. We waited for our food for over an hour after ordering. The service here could use some work to make this experience more enjoyable. The rooms were cleaned and housekeeping was always great. We really enjoyed our stay and will miss it!

Johnathan Gilbert

The views and location of this resort were out of this world! Beautiful beach, mountain views, and plenty of space to sit and relax. The food was tasty, but my favorite was the sushi....I couldn't get enough of it, for sure. If you go, you have to stop by and see Remy at the outside bar by the pool. He'll brighten your day and will make you a delicious drink at the same time. My only "gripe" would be that I traveled quite a distance and there were some of the staff members that treated me like I was a bother to them. MOST of the staff were great, but there were a few that could use some hospitality training. Overall, the trip was great and I would consider going back.

Eric Cole

I can't rate our experience high enough. We came for our 25th anniversary and our trip was amazing. The resort was well taken care of daily. Very clean. The restaurants and food were great. We had fun at the main pool daily with all the activities. The service was also great. The only thing I would say is I found a few of the bar tenders to be a little grumpy but overall great experience. We met some amazing people which we will never forget. We set up a few excursions through the resort which were phenomenal. Again, we just can't say enough. Thank you Sandals Grande St. Lucia for an unforgettable experience!

Julie Cabucio

The staff was so friendly and very helpful. They could not do enough to make sure we were happy and enjoying our stay. The night activities were great. Club Sandal's and Tamara in Loyalty made sure we had everything we needed and treated us like we were the only ones there. Zion in the activities department was also amazing. He made sure he greeted us with a smile and a hug every time we saw him on property. Rachel at the Spa was amazing. My massage and facial were fabulous. Peter at the swim bar took very good care of us!!! The food at every restaurant was delicious. It was our 4th time there and we cannot wait to go back to see our Sandals family! ❤️

Hannah

My husband and I were both recommended to go here by a mutual friend and were blown away. The level of service that is given from the time you get there till the departure was unbelievable. The food was 10/10. The rooms were extremely clean and room service was there multiple times a day to make sure the room was clean. The servers and staff did everything to make sure the time you had was peaceful and helped with any needs. Quade who was our personal butler, did a wonderful job planning the excursions for the week, planning dinner for you and making sure of thinking and putting together any requests we needed. I highly recommend this spot for a honeymoon or just a beach getaway for a perfect vacation!

We stayed at Serenity at Coconut Bay for our ten year wedding anniversary in the premium plunge pool butler suite. A truly wonderful experience! Every staff member ready to go above and beyond with the service to ensure our holiday was unforgettable. Nightly performances were highly entertaining. We had the pleasure of having our butler McGregor take care of us during our stay at Serenity, and we can’t speak highly enough of the service. From the very first moment we arrived, McGregor made sure everything was perfect. He was always there to help, whether it was making a dinner reservation, offering great suggestions for things to do, or just ensuring our room was stocked up with our favourite drinks and snacks. McGregor was always there when we needed him, but never intrusive – just the perfect balance of being helpful and respectful of our privacy. On top of that, McGregor was warm, friendly, and made every interaction feel personal. It wasn’t just about getting the job done – it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our experience memorable. We’re truly grateful for his exceptional service. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’d be thrilled to have the chance to experience it again.

A Honeymoon in Paradise: Our Unforgettable Stay at Serenity at Coconut Bay From the moment we arrived at Serenity at Coconut Bay in Saint Lucia, we were enveloped in luxury and romance. The resort's serene ambiance and attentive staff made our honeymoon truly special.​ Our suite was a haven of comfort, featuring a private plunge pool and a hammock for two. The personalized wet bar and 24-hour room service allowed us to indulge at our leisure, ensuring complete privacy and relaxation.​ The personal butler service exceeded our expectations. Kimberly was absolutely AMAZING. From unpacking our luggage to arranging dinners and excursions, every detail was handled with care. The discreet service box for meal deliveries was a thoughtful touch that enhanced our experience.​ Dining at The Greathouse was a delight, with gourmet meals crafted from local ingredients. The option to dine in our suite or at the resort's various restaurants provided flexibility and variety.​ Serenity at Coconut Bay provided the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and adventure. It's an ideal destination for couples seeking a romantic getaway. We left with hearts full of joy and memories that will last a lifetime.​

Serenity at Coconut Bay is everything you would want in a resort and more!! The staff are always so friendly and attending to your every need! We celebrated our 30th anniversary and it met all our expectations plus more!! McGregor was the best and took great care of us during our stay! We are already looking forward to our next trip at Serenity!

We just returned from an incredible stay at Serenity at Coconut Bay, and we can’t say enough good things about this resort. The experience was peaceful, luxurious, and exactly what we needed—but what truly made it special was the amazing staff who went above and beyond every single day. Our butler, Davidson, was absolutely outstanding. He was there for us daily and never missed a beat. Every afternoon, without fail, he’d run to the Treehouse to get me some of the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had. That kind of personal attention is rare, and Davidson made us feel truly pampered. Kevin, one of the bartenders, took wonderful care of Donna. Anytime she wanted a drink (and sometimes even when she didn’t ask), Kevin made sure something fun and refreshing magically appeared. We appreciated his energy and hospitality—he made us laugh and kept the good vibes going. Ray was our unofficial weatherman and another fantastic bartender. Each day he’d cheerfully update us on the weather. Even when clouds rolled in, Ray would reassure us, “Oh, that’ll pass in two minutes.” And sure enough—he was always right. He kept us smiling and relaxed, rain or shine. This was our first time at Serenity, and thanks to this incredible team, it certainly won’t be our last. The resort is beautiful, the food and drinks are top-notch, and the atmosphere is perfect for unwinding—but it’s the people who make this place truly special. Thank you to Davidson, Kevin, Ray, and the entire Serenity team. We’ll be back!
