Sandals Grande St. Lucian

We Had a GREAT Time!
Hi Penny!
We returned home early Thursday morning (got
home at 1:15 a.m.) from St. Lucia. It was one of the best vacations
ever! Even though we had only been to the Sandals in Jamaica before,
we got a room upgrade to Penthouse Concierge Oceanfront (from
Honeymoon Deluxe Oceanfront), so we got room service, some alcohol in
the room, etc. The General Manager is a wonderful guy -- Winston even
gave us an invitation for dinner at Gordon's, and it was the best
dinner of any night we were there. We also won a raffle at the
Managers' Cocktail Reception and received an exfoliation scrub for two
at the Spa.
We enjoyed snorkeling, sailing, hiking and went on
one excursion. We enjoyed the Simon Say's trip on a high-speed boat
from our north side to the south side. It was great seeing homes owned
by Mick Jagger, George Foreman, Oprah, etc. and seeing the Sandals
Regency from the water. The drive-in volcano, mud bath and waterfall
areas were all great, and we enjoyed the chicken Creole lunch, etc. We
had great weather. The food and drinks were very good there, and now
we're back to bologna sandwiches (ha!).
We hope to have some
photos to e-mail you soon. In the meantime, thanks again for your
assistance! I may have a client for you in the near future.
All the best!

Penny,
We had a
wonderful time! Thank you so much for arranging the trip of our lives.
Your recommendations were spot-on! The resort was incredible and we
were treated like royalty by everyone on the island.
Attached
are a few of our photos for you.
Take care and we’ll do business again!

Penny,
I am sorry for
taking so long to thank you for arranging our 25th anniversary trip to
the Sandals Grande in St Lucia. It was a perfect vacation!! We loved
the island, the hotel, and the people.Our Wedding vow renewal ceremony
was very special and something we will always remember. The Grande St
Lucian was awesome- the food, pools, beach, ocean and especially the
service. I highly recommend this resort. We did do a few excursions
including zip lining which was a blast. Also the sea and land tour was
a great way to see lots of the island. We were there just a few weeks
after hurricane Tomas hit. It was tragic to see all of the damage to
the island, roads and peoples homes. Even with this disaster, the St
Lucian people were wonderful and worked hard to ensure the tourists
had a great time. I attached a picture from our renewal and one of Amy
at the top of Pigeon Island with the Sandals Grande in the background.
On another note- since we had such a good time on our first
Sandals visit, we are thinking of taking our daughter (currently 10)
to a Beaches resort in 2012. Looks like the one in Turks and Caicos is
very nice but what would you recommend? Thanks again for helping us
make our anniversary trip one that we will never forget!!!

Penny,
We want to thank you so much for the PERFECT honeymoon!
We had heard many wonderful things about Sandals and about St. Lucia
before we left; and every one of our expectations was exceeded during
our stay. From the moment we arrived at the airport, to our
surprise at having our room upgraded (thanks to you), we couldn't have
asked for more! The resort was so
beautiful and so relaxing. We had such a great time snorkeling, relaxing
by the pool, enjoying the great food, and Nicki's favorite -- going to
the spa. Our Rondoval room was AMAZING, and the butler service was top
notch. It was like having our own private getaway, and our every wish
was simply a phone call away.
We will certainly be making another trip to a Sandals
resort, and we can't wait to work with you again. Thanks for
making our honeymoon everything we wanted it to be!

Hi Penny,
What a wonderful way to spend our 40th anniversary! We had such a good
time enjoying and loving each other while we ate lots of good food,
relaxed in the water, talked and laughed on the beach, danced in the
club, snorkeled and kayaked, and met some wonderful people.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian is great, but the people who work there are
incredible! The service was the best we've ever experienced, and we
can't wait to go back.
Many blessings to you, Penny, for putting together a
trip to remember.
Bo and Alyce Reeves, married 40 years and still loving it!

Hello Penny,
Thank you so much for your help with our trip to St. Lucia. We had
absolutely the best week of our lives! Our wedding at Sandals Grande St.
Lucian was so beautiful and romantic. The staff took awesome care of us
and
really worked to make it a very special day.
Thanks to you we did not have any surprises and
everything was exactly as you told
us it would be. You were such a help when were trying to decide which
Sandals to have our
wedding at and we were not disappointed. It is not often when a vacation
goes so well. Thank you again for your help and we look forward to our
next
Sandals trip booked with Penny Sheldon Travel!

Penny,
Arrived home late last night from a great vacation!
We have traveled a lot and we have never been treated as well as we were
at the Grande. Every employee treated us very well, where ever we
encountered an employee we were greeted with a Hello Good morning, How
are you, is there something I can help you with, are you enjoying your
stay Which made us feel very welcomed indeed. They all had a smile for
us. Michelle at the front gets our vote for employee of the year. From
day one she addressed us by name each and every time we passed the front
desk and quickly satisfied any request we made.
Food quality was good except for Beef and Duck dishes (tough) I had beef
dishes three times with same result each time, duck twice same result. I
am a slow learner.
Everything at the Grande was so great that the above would not deter us
from returning to the Grande some time in the future. We appreciate your
guiding us in the correct direction.

Penny,
We had such a fabulous time at the Sandals Grande in St. Lucia on our
honeymoon. The resort was beautiful and the people were so friendly.
Hands down the most relaxing vacation we've ever had. We will definitely
go back there!

Hi,
We loved our trip! We had the best time and we very relaxed when we
returned. Everything at the resort was great. There were so many things
for us to do. We needed to stay longer. We definitely would consider a
Sandals in the future. Thanks for all your help. St Lucia was so
beautiful here is a picture of us at the resort.
Thanks,
