What to expect: Resembling a colorful seaside village, the hilly, 210-acre resort features a 100-foot coral bluff overlooking the ocean and tropical gardens replete with flowers, doves, and nocturnal singing tree frogs. Ample space exists for tranquil relaxation-especially on pool floats and the uncrowded beach-with group games and activities for those wishing them. Both middle age couples and young honeymooners come here, with the latter group predominating. V
ans shuttle guests up and down the hills around the clock, although many guests choose to stroll through the green grounds.
Amenity highlights: Three free-form pools provide alternatives to the resort's 500-yard beach. A huge main pool sprawls 250 feet along the beachfront and includes a swim-up bar and a semi-circular section containing a rock formation from which waterfalls cascade. Adjacent is a 20-person spa. A second, good-size pool is terraced just above the beach halfway between the main building cluster and the bluff. A large pool with rock waterfall lies within the Sunset Bluff lodging section and includes a swim-up bar. Adjacent to this pool is a 10-person spa on the edge of the bluff looking down to the sea.
Insider tip: As part of Sandals Regency's All-Inclusive Plan, guests are also entitled to dine and use facilities at Sandals' other St. Lucia resorts, Sandals Halcyon (three miles away) and Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa & Beach Resort (six miles). Complimentary shuttle service connects the three resorts.
With nine greens and narrow fairways, the on-site golf course-2,475 yards long-can be a challenge for even experienced golfers. Greens fees are complimentary. (scroll above to see All-Inclusive details).

A tour desk can help arrange excursions, a nurses station is open throughout the day and evening, and an orientation of the premises takes place twice daily.
