Sandals RegenCy La Toc
Hi all, |
Oh my gosh! What a great week! Yes, Callie and I loved our suite. Even more so after a few days and talking to some of the other people we met, we came to the conclusion that we had the best located room! |
Hello!
Sorry for the late reply. The trip was amazing! We had a wonderful time! The Butler service is a must have! Our favorite butler was Delia. She was so professional, so kind and VERY organized. Even though we didn't use it like we could have we still got out of it what we needed to. The on site wedding staff was very welcoming. We had an idea of what to expect but to see it all in action was very impressive. The ceremony was amazing the weather was great (a little bit warm) and the pictures were great! I don't think Macee was thrilled with her hair but it looked great in our photos in my opinion. The whole ceremony process was amazing and they made us feel special throughout the entire process. The helicopter ride was really cool! I loved it but I think Macee was a little nervous because she was on the outside and the pilot kept saying how easy it was to open the door with you leg so I think Macee was more concentrated on not opening the door than looking at the view.
The excursions were all really great! And the snorkling was fantastic! Neither Macee or I have ever done it before and found it to be very tranquil and relaxing. We will be snorkling whenever we travel. I hiked the Gros Piton! I was the first out of 5 groups to make it to the summit. The guide, myself and a British couple just took off and all the other groups just moved to the side and let us pass. We made it to the top in record time. And on the way back we didn't take a break and made it back more than an hour ahead of the rest of our group and any other group. Overall it was a great trip and we've already planned our next 3 sandals excursions! Anyone we spoke to about how we got married all said "We should have done it that way". It made us feel really good about our decision to get married the way we did. Thanks again for all of your help getting everything set up.
Kind Regards,
Eric and Macee
Hey Dave!
We ended up only doing ONE excursion, Joe Knows, which I would HIGHLY recommend for bang-for-buck. We did this excursion on our first full day at the resort and met a handful of friends that we spent a good amount of time with throughout the week! After having such a great experience with the Joe Knows tour we decided no other excursion was going to meet our expectations with price considerations.
We loved our couples massages. Thought about doing that twice.... HAHA! We didn't consider ourselves fancy drinkers as we stuck to Mojitos and some of the basics - all of which were very well mixed with no complaints. As for food, we did almost every breakfast at Armando's up the hill (would recommend to others), Neptunes & Bella Napoli for lunches, and Soy sushi for evening snacks. The snails at La Toc were awesome, steak & shrimp platter at Pitons was awesome, and the experience and food at Kimonos was awesome.
Thanks again - we will definitely be in contact with Love to Travel in the future!
Thanks,
Connor & Baylee

Hi guys! |
Dave,
Thank you. We really enjoyed our trip. The resort, room, and butler service was great. The Mutiny Explorer excursion was great. It was nice because once we got to Soufriere, we had our own private driver so we can do our own stuff at our own time. We also went deep sea fishing, which was also through the island routes. Both activities were great and would recommend both. Favorite restaurant on the La Toc was Pitons. But we did really enjoy the food at the beach party that takes place on Wednesday nights. Would really recommend going to that.
Thank you so much! Love to Travel helped us out tremendously.
Thanks,
St. Lucia was AMAZING. The weather was perfectly 80 and sunny every single day with the daily “wet time” where it would rain for about 10 minutes and then the clouds cleared and there was almost always a rainbow to follow. Just beautiful. We had two butlers and we were so spoiled we didn’t even know it. We ran into several couples who were asking us how to set up dinner reservations or spa appointments and we realized that we never had to even think about it! During our first full day at the resort our butler gave us a full tour and as we toured each area we were able to say what we were interested in doing. Without even waiting for us to ask, our butler was talking to the people at the counter of the spa and the aquatic center and the restaurant hosts setting up reservations for us. He knew our schedules so that we didn’t have to worry about it! Before each reservation he would come pick us up in our room and escort us to wherever we needed to be. We never had to worry about where we were supposed to be or how long it would take to walk there, everything was taken care of for us! |

Hi Kim!
We had the absolute BEST time in St. Lucia. It was without a doubt the best vacation either of us have ever been on. We fell in love with the St. Lucian culture, the people, everything! I've been to quite a few Caribbean countries and I was really surprised by how clean St. Lucia was for the most part. And it was nice not really having a language barrier (although Jeff was happy when he got to use some of the few French words he knows!).
Sandals was amazing. I don't know if we could ever NOT go to a Sandals again because they take such great care of you. When we first walked into our room, we were pretty shocked that we had a stunning view of the mountainside and ocean. On a clear day we could see Martinique (I think that was the island). I know we got the most basic room available but we felt so spoiled by that view. I had a massage which was worth every penny (the day after we hiked the Pitons which was perfect, I think I groaned during the whole massage!). We loved the pool bar and being able to eat at any of the restaurants at any time. We were definitely happy with our resort.
The Pitons hike was absolutely breathtaking. I will say we were terribly unprepared though. The entire trip we kept hearing that the hike was no big deal and that as long as you bring a water bottle you'll be fine. We had a couple bites of toast and fruit that morning and each brought a 16 oz. water bottle. Jeff and I consider ourselves to be fairly in shape and cut out for hiking and things like that but we were unprepared to the point that at one point Jeff had to stop the whole group because he almost fell from being so dizzy. There were a couple spots during the hike where you physically had to the climb up using mostly your upper body. This is not a hike for beginners or moderate intermediate hikers. It was pretty extreme. The views were great but we were so dehydrated I think all we really cared about was making it back down alive. I think it would be a nice excursion again knowing what we know now. There were several folk in others groups going up who we passed who had to abandon the hike mid-way. Overall, we're glad we did it but we were sore for literally a week after.
Two days before we hiked the Pitons (I realize this could be long-winded, sorry...) we took a Jeep excursion that was set up at the Sandals desk. It was basically just like a tour around the area for probably 3-4 hours. I think we actually enjoyed this more than the Pitons because we got to see more of the countryside and the locals. We went to a waterfall that was absolutely stunning and ate some local fruit from a vendor on the side of a mountain road. Our tour guide was amazing (I wish I could remember his name! It was something different like Monty or something). We felt completely safe with him and he was entertaining and knowledgable. Pretty much every question we had, he answered. We probably would've done that excursion every day if money was no object! It was so much fun.
It was truly the best week ever and Jeff and I made the perfect choice. Thank you SO much for facilitating everything and for making it such a smooth trip for us!
