I highly suggest you at least stay 4 or 5 nights. The flight is a 2 stop flight and then the bus ride is 1 hour to the resort. Saint Lucia has plenty to do and plenty to see. Make it worth it. Soak up as much as possible. :)
300 days prior to the trip
I have done plenty of research. I highly suggest staying on the "Beach view" side.
Sandals will provide a bus for our party since I'm sure there will be plenty on 1 flight ( 1-1.5 hour travel time). However; there is a private helicopter transportation as well. (15 min travel time). I have read that there is also a ferry departing from the hotel to the airport. Great feedback for that.
We will have a gathering on Thursday the 23rd for those that want to join us. More details to come as I plan more with the Sandals Wedding Coordinator.
I believe it is $400 to hold 1 room for 2 people. Bambi can confirm.
I believe the trip is to be paid in full by March or April of 2022.... Again why I wanted to give family and friends plenty of time to plan and make payments. AGAIN... we would need to confirm with Bambi.
We opted NOT to have one. We booked a Club Level Room. We figured we would not be in our room that often to use a butler. Many reviews I read from past guest said it is a personal preference. You are assigned 2 butlers a day and they are at your beck & call. Sounds nice... but yet, that would get old. There are lots of perks, yet I do believe you have to tip them as well.
