Sandals Grande St. Lucian
Saint Lucia · Gros Islet · 105 min from UVF
Grande St. Lucian is the usual St. Lucia starting point because it has the most dining and the overwater bungalows. The UVF transfer is real; we plan the arrival so you are not stuck in a van after a red-eye if we can help it.
Why people pick it
- · Overwater bungalows and an overwater wedding chapel
- · Largest of the three St. Lucia Sandals
- · Stay at one, play at three
