The most watched video on our YouTube channel is not Disney and it is not a cruise ship. It is our honeymoon at Sandals in Saint Lucia, and it has been watched more than everything else we have posted. We think we know why. A honeymoon is the one trip people research the hardest, because it only happens once and everybody wants to get it right.
What made it work for a honeymoon
Saint Lucia is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, with the famous Pitons rising out of the water and green hills everywhere you look. It feels like a honeymoon the minute you arrive.
Sandals made the rest easy. Everything was included, so once we got there we stopped doing math. Meals, drinks, and activities were handled, and the resort was built for couples. No kids, no group chaos, just time together. After the stress of planning a wedding, that kind of easy is worth a lot.
Three resorts, one island
One thing a lot of people do not know is that Sandals has three resorts in Saint Lucia, and guests can spend time at all three during one stay. Each one has its own personality, so where you sleep matters. One is better if you want lively, one is better if you want quiet, and one sits on a long stretch of beach that is hard to beat.
That choice is exactly where a travel advisor earns their keep. The price difference between the three is not huge, but the feel of your honeymoon changes a lot depending on which one you pick, and the brochures will not tell you that honestly.
What we tell every couple now
Give the honeymoon its own planning time, the same way you plan the wedding. Book early, because the best room categories at the best resorts go first, especially in peak season.
Think about what kind of days you actually want. Some couples want excursions and nightlife. Some couples want a beach chair and each other. Saint Lucia can do both, but your resort and your room location decide how easy each one is.
And build in at least one day with nothing on it. The best honeymoon memory is usually the unplanned one.
You can watch our Sandals Saint Lucia honeymoon video on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/@thetravelclarks to see the resort through our eyes.
Adults only is our specialty for a reason
That honeymoon shaped this business. When we say adults only getaways are one of our specialties, it is because we have done the trip ourselves and we know what couples are really asking for. It is not just a nice resort. It is the first trip of a marriage, and it deserves to be planned like it matters.
If you are planning a honeymoon, an anniversary, or just a trip where the only people you have to take care of are each other, send us your dates. We will help you pick the right island, the right resort, and the right room.
