Hi!
I live and work in St. Lucia, and my family runs a small guesthouse
there, Balenbouche Estate. I cannot tell you too much about Sandals,
except that is a very popular hotel for weddings, and I think your
expectations will be met. But the island is really one of the most
diverse, beautiful, natural and fun places in the Caribbean. The north
of the island is fairly developed, but the rest isn't - the views and
landscape are spectacular. St.Lucia may be a little pricey compared to
other islands, but it's worthwhile. You may want to rent a car for a
day or two to explore the island. Mind you, the distances can be quite
large and the roads are not always very good. You can also take one of
many organized tours. You can check out some of St.Lucia's best
attractions at www.heritagetoursstlucia.com
