Read the reviews/ratings and expected so much more.
I travel a lot and have stayed in 5-star resorts all over the world including in the Caribbean. This was one of the most expensive ones I’ve stayed in by far.
To start, once the room was booked, most places send a welcome greeting & ask about transportation from the airport..I received nothing.
When we did arrive, they took us right to the room. With this being a VIP access hotel, I’m used to the hotel offering an upgrade or explanation of the perks. Nothing. I asked the butler if I would get an upgrade and she said she would get back to me. She never did. I went to the front desk twice and they said they would get back to me. No one did. The perk is only given if there is availability but the fact that no one got back to me says a lot.
The room was nice but no wow factor. The breakfast was not that good. And probably the biggest takeaway of my time here is everything is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. From the cab ride, to room service, to lunch, spa, dinner, drinks…it makes no sense why everything is so high. The saving grace to this place is the scenery is beautiful, the staff is nice, shuttle service is a great perk, and the food is good.
But the hype isn’t valid. I’ve wanted to go to St Lucia for yrs. I heard good things about it, but not sure I would come back. Well if I did I would try a different resort. Been to the islands a lot and for the price & experience at Viceroy Sugar Beach, it gets a 4/5 from me.
