Sandals Grande, St. Lucia

Hello everyone,
This is Jerry and I just came back from staying 7 nights at the Sandals Grande in St Lucia. There are 3 Sandals in St Lucia and when you stay at one you can visit all of them!!
The Grande is the largest of the three with the Sandals La Toc the next and the Halcyon the smallest. If you want to stay at a little more intimate resort you should pick the Halcyon. Sandals has shuttles that run throughout the day so you can go over during the day for the activities or do like I did and just go to one of them for dinner. The Grande is located on a peninsula on Rodney Bay with the Caribbean sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.
The bay is very calm so there is little or no wave action. There are plenty of things to do there from the Hobie cat rides to Kayak to scuba diving to snorkeling. There are also two large peaks where Fort Rodney is located within walking distance that you can hike to, which I did one morning and I recommend you do in the morning because if gets very hot in the afternoon and take plenty of water with you.
The food and service  were great and the atmosphere was very laid back. I loved this resort and I would go back again in a heartbeat!
