Thank you for sharing this video! My wife and I are going to this resort in November to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! Great job! We really do appreciate you both! 😎
Hi Roland! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! That’s awesome! We hope you have a fantastic time! :) Happy Travels!
Always enjoy your vlogs. Your attitude is so infectious(is it to soon to use that positively in a sentence? 😂). Thank you for making my Friday afternoon.
Hi Todd! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, it’s always appreciated! Haha, that’s great! We hope you have a great weekend! :) Happy Travels!
You guys are crazzzzzzzy fun. Thanks for taking us with you to my home away from home La Toc. Missing the place so much. Had to push back a year because of covid and now Air Canada cancelled our flight for this July so it looks like we have to push back another year. Keep up the fun. Safe travels from Quebec Canada.
Hi Diane! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, we greatly appreciate it! We’re glad we could bring you some fun while you wait for your own trip, and we hope you get to travel again soon! :) Happy Travels!
We stayed at Sandals Grande St Lucian 5 years ago for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We went over to the Sandals Regency La Toc for the day. It is a beautiful property but too hilly for my husband Andy and myself. St. Lucia is our favorite island in the Caribbean. We absolutely love Sandals as a brand. Enjoy your stay at Regency La Toc. Will you be going over to Sandals Halcyon Beach and Sandals Grande St Lucian? Each property is so different. They each have their own vibe. Happy Travels to you both.
Hi Anne-Marie! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! We actually did this trip at the beginning of March. Unfortunately, we couldn’t travel to Halcyon Beach or Grande St. Lucian because of COVID protocol (resort exchange privileges are currently suspended). However, we definitely plan on staying at GSL in the future and visiting HB during the day! :) Happy Travels!
@@HoffmanHappyTravels It is a great excuse to return to St Lucia and see the other 2 resorts. It is a bummer that you were not allow to go to the other two Sandals properties. I certainly understand why though. I am sure the both of you and your clients can't wait to get back to normal and to be able to travel without restrictions. Dur to heath issues for the both of us, it is not worth the risk for us to travel. We sure do love your travel videos. It is the next best thing to traveling ourselves. Keep up the great videos of your world travels, we certainly appreciate it. I close my eyes and listen to your descriptions and just dream of being there again. Safe and Happy Travels to you both.
I have been to St Lucia several times. Only once at Sandals Grande St Lucian. We have many family members that travel there (pre-pandemic) every year. We have never heard of any of our family members having that issue. Maybe it is Covid-19 related. I don't know if the St Lucia Government gave the workers in the travel industry any help. My guess that they are just trying to survive. It is not excuse for them to treat guests that are coming to their country though. I would send and email to Sandals Corporate office and let them know. They may be able to address that issue that you and your travel partner, as well as Matt & Chelsy experienced. I do not think that they want their guests to be harassed. It is not the way to start a vacation. That does not reflect well on the island of St Lucia, especially if it is your first time on the island . If Sandals gets enough complaints, then my guess they will address it with the Airport Authority. It is one of the reasons why my husband Andy and I like the Sandals/Beaches brand everything is included and we don't want to be bothered with any of that nonsense. I really dislike pushy people, they turn me off and I just want to get way for them. It is the reason that we have not returned to Jamaica. We were harassed after leaving Dunn's River Falls. You have to pass through a market when exiting the falls area. A man came up to me and smiled and asked me my name and I said it. He then carved my name in the wood piece. When I said that I did not want it, they just would not leave us alone. Finally one of the men ran up behind me and grabbed me and yelled at me to by his merchandise. It really scared me, and turned me off on Jamaica. I am sorry that happened to you. By the way, I love your name (Annelise), it is a beautiful name.
Beautiful!! Maybe our next vacay could be to a Sandals resort! You’ve definitely got us thinking. After 2 theme park vacays, my husband will be ready for a relaxed vacation.
Hi Robyn! We definitely recommend it! If you’re looking to relax, Sandals is the perfect choice! If you would like to look at it more and would like help with booking, we are travel agents and we would be happy to assist you! Here is our email if you would like to look at some options: Matt.Hoffman@CruisePlanners.com 🤗Happy Travels!🤗
Hi! I don't remember the exact amount of time but I don't remember it being too bad. Unfortunately there's no service that we are aware of in St. Lucia similar to Club Mobay. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝
So is there a Sandals lounge at all the airports that service their resorts or just certain ones. Loving all the cats place looks awesome just like it did in your other video
Hi AC! Thanks for watching! We would recommend Barbados. Having two resorts for the price of one is hard to beat! It’s also nice to have unique features like the bowling alley and rooftop pool/bar. Here’s our full Barbados playlist, including full tours of both resorts: czcams.com/play/PLCyraoOfmP27zDB8inWiYyh1zAf-1Gigv.html We would love to assist you with booking your honeymoon trip, and our services are completely free to you! Feel free to shoot an email to Matt.Hoffman@CruisePlanners.com if you want to discuss specifics. 😁 Happy Travels!
Love St. Lucia but I HATE the drive especially to Sandals Grande St Lucia. Close to 2 hours of windy, twisty and narrow roads. I didn’t think we would ever get there. I’ve been to 2 sandals resorts since and my number 1 question is how long is the drive from the airport.
How much space and privacy do you get at sandals? Compared to a theme park or cruise vacation. Also what are the age restrictions at sandals, is it 18 or 21 since there is alcohol?
Hi Andy! Thanks for watching! We love our animals! It really depends on what the cruise is and what the all-inclusive is. There are so many variables with both that it’s difficult to give a straight comparison. If you’re ever interested in booking, please reach out to us! It’s completely free to you, and we’d love to assist! :) Happy Travels!
I see that Sandals requires a credit card upon check in. Do you know if Discover credit cards are accepted for this? Or if we are able to use a debit card as a credit card? Thanks!
Hi Erin! Thanks for watching! Honestly, we’re not sure. Everyone in our group said they were fine, so it wasn’t discussed further. The drivers are taxi drivers that are used by Sandals, but not actual Sandals employees, so there may not be a standard protocol. We would guess maybe trying to take the curves a little easier, or having you sit towards the front of the vehicle. We definitely recommend preparing yourself with medication or other means that will help you. We hope you have a great trip! :) Happy Travels!
Hi Molly! Thanks for watching! That’s great! Did you book within the past two weeks? If so, your booking is eligible to be transferred to us! Also, Sandals has a very forgiving cancelation policy, so another option could be to cancel your existing reservation and re-book through us. If you’d like to discuss this further, feel free to shoot me an email at Matt.Hoffman@CruisePlanners.com - :) Happy Travels!
As long as you don’t have any delays, you should be fine. Our biggest recommendations would be to study the airport map ahead of time, don’t be afraid to ask for help, and utilize the train to get from terminal to terminal (if necessary). :)
Arrived at Regency La Toc 2 days ago....thats how long it took to get out and transfer somewhere else. The room was disgusting...the place is in complete need of a face lift. I could go on and on....the only nice thing is the staff. 😫😫
Hi Tom! Thanks for watching! We understand where you’re coming from! They probably don’t want to open a can of worms of having to individually price things. They’re all-inclusive, and they love it! 😁 Happy Travels!
At Disney world , universal Orlando , Busch gardens Tampa - Sea world Orlando / California parks - Masks needs to wear all times ( except for eating and drinking at table , also inside your resort rooms - hotel rooms) 😊
I can’t wait to see again of your regular cruise trips vlogs.

How long did it take you to get through Immigration/customs? Is the VIP service like Club Mobay?
Hi! I don't remember the exact amount of time but I don't remember it being too bad. Unfortunately there's no service that we are aware of in St. Lucia similar to Club Mobay. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝
Haven't watched all the series yet, but just wondering if there is a place to get ice cream etc throughout the day? Thanks.
Hi Alicia! Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately, there is not. 😁
Happy Travels!
So is there a Sandals lounge at all the airports that service their resorts or just certain ones. Loving all the cats place looks awesome just like it did in your other video
Hi Dawn! Thanks for watching!
Not all of the airports have lounges, but the ones that do are nice! 😻
Happy Travels!
Question. Where did you get your pre-travel Covid PCR test done, and how long did it take for the results?
We loved Sandals La Toc! I dream of the next time we go back!!! Are you all not allowed to drink on travel agent trips or do you not drink at all?
Hi Debbie! It is so beautiful! We're so glad you had a great time! We just don't drink at all. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🩴
Which did y'all like better? La Toc or Royal Barbados?
Trying to decide for our honeymoon.
Hi AC! Thanks for watching!
We would recommend Barbados. Having two resorts for the price of one is hard to beat! It’s also nice to have unique features like the bowling alley and rooftop pool/bar. Here’s our full Barbados playlist, including full tours of both resorts: czcams.com/play/PLCyraoOfmP27zDB8inWiYyh1zAf-1Gigv.html

I think it is fantastic that you name every animal you run into!
What does a vacation like this cost compared to a Royal cruise?
Hi Andy! Thanks for watching!
We love our animals!
It really depends on what the cruise is and what the all-inclusive is. There are so many variables with both that it’s difficult to give a straight comparison. If you’re ever interested in booking, please reach out to us! It’s completely free to you, and we’d love to assist! :)

Is this the Sunset Bluff Oceanview One Bedroom Butler Suite w/ Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub - RP1? Or is it the penthouse version of that room?
Hi Macarena B! Thanks for watching!
This was the RP1! :)
Happy Travels!
@@HoffmanHappyTravels Thank you!
@@HoffmanHappyTravels Thanks! Can't wait to see the rest!
I get extremely car sick. Our trip is planned December 27-December 31; what would the driver do/offer if you get car sick?

So I’m going to sandals st Lucia in September... can you travel between resorts, I wish I would have booked through you guys
I also only have a 55 min layover in Atlanta I’m scared that won’t be enough time.. what do you think
Hi Molly! Thanks for watching!
