Hey guys, awesome video. I think we have watched it no less than 20 times. We are headed here in 3 days! So excited and your video is what helped us make the decision. We appreciate all of your help. My wife and Janet have exchanged many emails. Everything has been extremely helpful. Anyone reading this comment, we highly recommend Penyak Travel for making travel a lot easier!
Hey Brad! Thank you so much for the kind words! We hope you guys have a wonderful time on your trip! ☺️ If there’s anything we can do let us know!
And the jet skiing!!!
When is the rainy season
Daughter has been there for a week now. She is loving it! A bit far from California though.
It’s worth the trip! Amazing resort! Hope she had a wonderful stay and safe travels!!
Thanks for the video, my fiancé and I are looking into going for our honeymoon. Listening to the pod cast you did on the resort now!
Thanks for checking out the channel and we hope you find the podcast informative!! ☺️
How much is the helicopter ride and how do you book please.
What is the helicopter company you guys used?
Hey! We used www.stluciahelicopters.com/airport-transferes/
Thanks!!
Going to Sandals next month and we're absolutely getting the helicopter.
Have fun!! Safe travels and enjoy the helicopter ride!! ☺️
@@PenyakTravel Thanks man. Called the resort yesterday, they connected me to the company. They sent the email, I paid, and we're set!
aDo they have american products there..IE Energy drinks, American Beer?
Hi how did you book the fast track at the airport? We go in a few weeks. Did you feel it was worth it?
Yes! We always use it to avoid the lines. St Lucia Fast Track
Ok we are asking which resort Sandals on St Lucia is the best we booked at Grand but have read overwhelmingly bad reviews ?
Great video. Liked the "I thought we were gonna die from going out on the jet ski! Lol! Looked like you two had so much fun. How did you book the helicopter ride? and what was the cost? Thanks again for posting this.
Hi!! Thanks for watching!! The cost is $175 per person and the company is called St. Lucia Helicopters! Well worth it!!
@@PenyakTravel Thanks for the reply. How about luggage on the helicopter? How much can they handle?
@@timothycrump599 you’ll only take a small carry on with you on the helicopter, your larger luggage will be transferred to the resort by one of their transfer shuttles. They will tag it for you before you leave the airport.
Hi! Awesome video and heading over to check out your podcast now! My husband and I are looking to book a few days here next July for our 10th anniversary. The jet ski looks AWESOME. You had to get that from someone off resort, right? How did that process work? Thanks!
Hi!! Yes, the Jet Ski rental was not part of Sandals but the beach vendor was pretty much onsite, so it was quick and easy (and super fun!!). I think we paid $40 for 30 minutes (something around those figures). Totally fun and worth it!! If you want to work with Janet on a quote or ask her any questions directly feel free to email her janet@penyaktravel.com ☺️ Thank you for checking out our channel and podcast!
Hey, I enjoy the video. Quick question-how much you pay per person for the helicopter ride?Thanks
Hi Lina! It’s currently $190 per person each way. The price has gone up over the last 12 months or so. Thanks for tuning into the channel!
Hi! What company did you use for the helicopter ride? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for checking out our channel! The company is called St. Lucia Helicopters ☺️
Which French restaurant did you go to and at which resort? It was hard to hear on the video. Thank you
Hi!! Thanks for watching! The Bayside restaurant will do French at night, we didn’t eat there but we did eat at the Italian one night and it was really good! This video is all from our stay at the Grande St Lucian.
Hi! How would you compare Sandals Grande St Lucia and Emerald Bay for a honeymoon? Which do you prefer overall? Thank you!!
Hi! Enjoy your honeymoon! We’ve been to both and those are two great resorts! Much of it would depend on your travel style and what you enjoy doing while on vacation. All things equal we give Exuma the slight edge. Exuma is a special place with some of the bluest water in the world and a ton of great marine life to enjoy. Feel free to email Janet if you’d like as well janet@penyaktravel.com. Thanks for watching! ☺️
How do you request the helicopter transit? We just booked our stay for Oct. 2022 and would love to do that!
Hi! Thanks for checking out our channel! You can book the helicopter transfer with Sr Lucia Helicopters www.stluciahelicopters.com
Curious on your thoughts of halcyon?
Thanks for checking out the channel! We were impressed with the new room categories they added, and it is a very cozy resort. It’s one of their smallest resorts but we still enjoyed it. We did a full review of our recent trip on a recent podcast episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/know-before-you-go-travel-show/id1407378924?i=1000526954844
Hi! Great video. I'm traveling here in January for my honeymoon - would you say the helicopter is 100% worth it? I'm a nervous flyer, but getting that time back when we arrive seems like the best bet. Thanks!
Hi! Totally get it, Janet isn’t the best flyer either. That said we do feel it’s worth it, not only do you save a ton of time sitting in a van and getting to the resort faster the ride is normally beautiful and gives you a very unique perspective of the island. We do it every time we visit St.Lucia. Congrats and we hope you have an amazing trip! We honeymooned at La Toc and have stayed at all the Sandals in St. Lucia, it’s a special place! ☺️
@@PenyakTravel OK, this topic is specifically why I came to check the comments section. My fiancé and I are deciding between Sandals Emerald Bay, and Grand St. Lucian for our honeymoon (requesting a quote coming shortly after this comment), and this helicopter transfer may impact our decision. I have not yet flown with her (Denver in May), but she gets carsick very easily. I visited Jamaica with my parents when I was younger and I remember our first taxi ride from Montego Bay to Negril in a car with no A/C, and I have a feeling, something like that might sideline my fiancé for longer than we'd like for our honeymoon. Is the ride smooth, or a bit choppy and turbulent? Would you see any issues if I travelled with golf clubs?
Thanks!
@@briantuttle8608 Thanks for submitting a quote request! Both are great resorts! When it comes to the helicopter ride it will probably depend on the weather that day. We’ve been when the weather is clear and it’s a very smooth ride, we’ve done it in the rain and there’s a few bumps. The golf clubs would be transferred to the resort via a van along with your larger luggage, only a small carry on bag is allowed on the helicopter. Your larger bags will arrive at your door within a few hours. Janet can definitely assist with the details on deciding between both resorts, we love both of those resorts!! Thanks again Brian!
What happens to your bags if you ride the chopper?
Hi! Thanks for checking out our channel! They transport them separately, but you are allowed a carry on bag up to 20 lbs.
What type of excursions do they offer? And where do u go to sign up for the excursions?
Hi Briana!! If you booked with a travel agent your agent should be able to book those in advance for you. If you booked directly with the resort, there is a tour desk on property called Island Routes, and they can book those for you. You can also call Island Routes in advance of your trip to book them as well. Hope this helps! ☺️
How much is the helicopter ride?
Hi! Thanks for watching! The helicopter transfer is $175 per person each way (to and from the airport).
Hey Me and my Fiancé are planning to take a trip here for a our honeymoon for that helicopter ride is it a round trip or you have to pay for both getting there and coming back?
Hey Luis! It’s not round trip, you’ll have to pay each way. It’s super convenient and a beautiful ride. We recommend it!
We go in November. Does everyone helicopter in or is that extra? Also what restaurants do you recommend making reservations at?
Hi! Thanks for watching! The helicopter transfer is an extra $175 per person, but it saves you a 90+ minute transfer by car, and it’s a beautiful ride! Soy is one of my personal favorite restaurants, we also enjoyed the Italian and the overwater restaurant!
@@PenyakTravel is the helicopter $175 per person each way or round trip?
@@jmhunt68 per person, each way.
Was the helicopter ride free?
Hi Valerie!! No, it’s a separate transfer that can be booked. It’s $190/person but well worth it for the time it saves and the beautiful views of the island during the ride! Thanks for checking out our channel!! ☺️
what was the cost for the Heli ride to the resort
Hi! Thanks for tuning in! It’s $190 per person also a very fun experience!
I thought all excursions were included? Y’all had to pay to hike??
Hi Taya! Thanks for tuning into the channel! Some activities are included at the resort, as well as non-motorized water sports. Any off property excursions are at an additional cost. Hope this helps! ☺️
Excursions are not included in any all inclusive. Sometimes you get a mini snorkeling trip or cruise included
How did you enjoy your stay in my beautiful Island??🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨
It was amazing!! We love St. Lucia, it’s a very special and unique place! ❤️🏝
@@PenyakTravel your next visit you try out my workplace. Sandals Regency La Toc
@@amysebastien7756 we’ve been there a few times and love that resort! We actually honeymooned there too!!
@@PenyakTravel oh wow that's awesome. Glad you enjoyed your stay.. you should visit next time now that am an employee there 🤗🤗💯💯
@@amysebastien7756 we will be on the look out for you next time we are there!!
How strict are they with the masks? I am heading there Saturday.
Enjoy your trip!! They request that you wear them indoors when walking through an area with other or walking to your table at meals. It wasn’t very intrusive at all to us. Safe travels and thanks for watching our channel!!
@@PenyakTravel thanks for the info.
