Rating8.6Adults OnlySandals Grande St. Lucian includes PADI-certified scuba diving at no extra charge, plus complimentary golf transfers to an 18-hole course nearby. Motorized water sports — waterskiing, wakeboarding — are included, which is unusual for Caribbean all-inclusives. The 'Stay at 1, Play at 3' program adds access to two additional Sandals resorts in Castries.
The resort's primary pool — large, zero-entry, and the most active during the day. Often hosts organized events and live entertainment. Lounge chairs fill early in peak season.
A designated calm pool away from the main activity area. For guests who want a pool without the noise.
A romantic lagoon-style pool. Swim-up suite rooms have direct terrace access. More intimate than the main pool.
Dedicated pool for PADI training and certification. Not for casual swimming — specifically for structured dive training.
A fifth pool providing additional capacity beyond the main and specialty areas.
A private mile-long beach on the peninsula's sheltered Rodney Bay side. The calm, clear Caribbean water is consistently one of the resort's most praised features — genuinely good swimming conditions year-round. The sand is soft white. The sheltered location means the water is calmer than beaches on the exposed Atlantic side of St. Lucia. Beach bar and waiter service are available. This beach is the main reason to choose Grande St. Lucian over other St. Lucia resorts.
Fully included — equipment, boat, and dive masters for certified divers. Pool instruction for beginners. The most significant activity differentiator versus competitors.
Equipment included from Pigeon Island Beach. Calm, clear waters give good visibility.
Complimentary self-guided kayaking from the beach.
Stand-up paddleboarding included from the beach.
Complimentary Hobie Cat sailing. The peninsula location gives reliable wind access.
Equipment and instruction included. One of the few all-inclusives where windsurfing is a practical activity.
Motorized water sports included at no extra charge — uncommon in the all-inclusive market.
