Just returned from st lucia

[canadian traveler]

Well it was a great trip,however there are a few things not so great.

The tours and excursions were good,some better than others,snorkeling was good,nothing compared too cozumel tho.We stayed at the sandals regency for 7 days.Food was great,service at the restaurants were fantastic,service for your room left a lot too be desired tho.Cleaning staff did a great job but it seems there everyone has a job. One day you may get more coffee packets,the next not,sugar a hit and miss thing,we had a room that comes with stocked bar to be restocked every morning,You drink a bottle of wine,they replace it the next morning with the ones you didn't drink.Guess they think you won't drink the ones you don't like.

Here's one i bet no one ever thought of at a sandals resort.Afew of us sitting around the pool in the evening watching RATS run 10 feet behind us inbetween us and the room doors.Yup we saw lots of rats all over sandals property. Some cock roaches and some other big beetles. Eventually we had hoped too see the cockroaches take on the rats for a turf war..ha ha..that was a joke..yuk..sandals leaves a lot to be desired about for running a smooth operation.. Warning..always keep your luggage in sight. God i wish i had there attitude..NO PROBLEM NO PREASURE..That is fine when you have your luggage and something to wear.Yes people the roads are rough but really not all that bad..Go too saskatchewan Canada..kinda the same just not as curvy..ha ha..Had a tour with nash from 2X it was ok but he does his same routine with everyone and does not offer any extra tips about going to different places along the way. We hired other taxi's and they turned out very well,but remember to ask about other things along the way out of the regular tourist trap.

But all in all our st lucia trip was very good,you just have too overlook a few things,avoid stepping on or being bit by a rat and if you have problems or lost luggage take the iniative to look after it your self other wise the st lucian rule kicks in..NO PREASURE,NO PROBLEM,NO HURRY
