      Thank you for watching and commenting. I will say that some people had great reviews, but it was not good to my standards and on the hotel review page I found 3 other reviews that stated they got food poisoning during the same time I was there. I believe there are better hotel options. I hope you find a great place and have an amazing time!

    • @jcharnele
      @jcharnele  5 місяців тому +1

      Hello! It was a perk just from my Marriott status, but honestly it wasn't anything over the top. There was a building that we had access to where they had free snacks (finger foods) and drinks and a pool area that was only for the Diamond Club members. Other than that I didn't see any other benefits.

    Great detailed review. I think everyone has different expectations for resorts so I can see why this missed the mark on somethings for you. I've been to St. Lucia and it is a great country and i had a great time, but I was at a different resort.

    How come you didn't go to Sandles in St. Lucia? I ask because Ive been researching like crazy and the Sandles seems sooooo dated....the whole property, rooms, layout of the property seemed sooo large and choppy. Maybe Im wrong.

    • @jcharnele

      I personally would not say there again. I would probably try a Sandals Resort. However, we had a good time, but I've experienced better at other places and that's what I'm basing my review on and the price.

    Went in April, we loved it. I guess it's what you put into it. Why room service when there are so many choices in the restaurants. I went for a vacation not to stay in the room. We were Diamond Club our butlers Olivia and Marlon were the the best. Loved the people! Loved the excursions, we didn't jump off the boat they had drop down stairs. We were well taken care of but are not very needy (Canadians) Hope this helps.

    • @jcharnele
      @jcharnele  6 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching. I wasn't looking for help, I was giving MY review/experience. Why room service? Because on vacation sometimes want to relax and instead of going out, we would rather stay in the room abs have the food brought to us as this is a n options. I like to take advantage of the things that are offered and paid for (Americans). Im glad you had a better experience than we did!

    Hi,
    we are planning to go to the same hotel and just curious what's the difference between "adults only" and the other section with kids. Is it worthy to pay some extra $$$ for "adults only" and also do both share same beach or they are separated ?

    • @jcharnele
      @jcharnele  Рік тому

      I'm not entirely sure about the rooms, but the resorts are literally right next to each other. There was a sign next to one of the pools that states its only for the adult side of the resort. I honestly don't think we went to the beach at the hotel...sorry, its been months and we go to different places and I tend to get them mixed up. 🤣
