Sandals Concierge Suites....Absolutely Fabulous!

My husband and I just came back from a week at Sandals Grande St. Lucian. It was amazing! We had a swim-up room with concierge service and I just wanted people to know, that if you are considering booking a room with concierge service, DO IT! It was the greatest thing we did and it helped to make our trip SO much better! From the minute we got off the airport shuttle, we were taken directly to the concierge suite for a cocktail while our bags were taken care of and we were being check-in. No standing in line or waiting around. We also got a lot of extras because we were in a concierge level suite, including:
-Use of a cabana on the beach where we were waited on
-24hr room service,
-A mini fridge with drinks that was restocked daily, and bottles of champagne, wine, or mixed drinks delivered to our room anytime we want
-Private cocktail party where prizes were given away
-All dinner reservations, and tours booked for us
-20% off at one of the boutiques at the resort, if you present your weekly planner (you set this up with the concierge when you arrive)
-A hike up one of the mountains followed by a sunset booze cruise! (For free, and this type of tour can be a little pricey)

ALL of these were included. These things are also offered to guests with butler suites. We also got a $250 voucher from the spa which was also totally amazing. I'm not sure if this was because of the concierge level, or if it was a special when we booked our reservations. If you get a concierge room, you should really take advantage of everything they offer, it is SO worth it!! I just thought everyone should know about it. We definitely got more bang for our buck.

  • For 7 days it was around $4800-$4900 (per couple), I can't remember the exact price. Also, the prices will vary by the resort that you choose. I think St. Lucia is one of the more expensive Sandals locations because it is such a big honeymoon spot. That also doesn't include plane tickets...which I would recommend booking asap. We waited a month after we booked sandals and the plane tickets were $150 more expensive than they were the previous month. Our plane tickets were about $1000 each.
  • Did you book through a travel agent or through Sandals directly?
  • We're kicking arond the sandals idea for either antigua or st lucia; I was wondering if you felt it being mostly honeymooners was a positive or negative?  My FI and I weren't sure if we should avoid sandals and try to go with something more typical vacationer style or if it would not be an issue.
