    What are your thoughts on Sandals Grande in Rodney Bay?

    • @SwankGuide
      @SwankGuide  Год назад +2

      We try to avoid chains like Sandals as we are focused on more boutique experiences - so we didnt have that on our list. We did stay at Cap Maison - and we have a video about that - that's in Rodney Bay. If you want something a bit lower cost and that has an all-inclusive option - then there's Tu Kaiye - we have a video about that too. Enjoy St Lucia

      @@SwankGuide It was a Very Large Holiday Inn Resort. Last I heard, it got purchased by Sandals, with the title "Regency" but still with the name "La Toc", which is also still the name of the Road leading to it. There was another Holiday Inn north of the Airport, and it Also got purchased by Sandals. It's now named Halcyon Beach.

    It seems to me that older folks wouldn't feel all that comfortable on islands that are very hilly not close to amenities like we see in St. Lucia. Even Jamaica isn't for us older folks trying to avoid noisy crowds, ships, and looking for a quieter atmosphere with amenities. We could be left with only Barbados.

      Fair enough... I was there in Januray and Jade Mountian runs $2,500 a night... I dont think it's worth it but can't say for sure.

    Jade is the best

    • @SwankGuide
      @SwankGuide  Год назад +2

      Do you think it's worth $2000, and often $3000 or $4,000 a night? Yes the architecture and view are great - but at that price point the plastic outdoor chairs and chain hotel furniture give me pause. Would love to know what you love about it though. Thanks

      ​@SwankGuide wondering the same!! Could it really be worth that much? Especially with some of the points you mentioned. The views do look top-notch, though....
