St Lucia

Sandals Regency La Toc, St Lucia: A romantic clifftop hideaway on a moon-shaped bay!

Andrea Lovatt on 20 May 2024

Cradled by lush green hillsides and looking out over a sweeping, crescent-shaped beach, Sandals Regency La Toc is one of Saint Lucia’s most dramatic and romantic adults only escapes. Just a short drive from the island’s capital, Castries, this 5* all inclusive resort combines a glamorous clifftop setting with a long golden beach. What truly sets a stay here apart is that it is not just one resort. With Sandals’ “Stay at 1, Play at 3” exchange privileges in Saint Lucia, your holiday at La Toc unlocks the facilities, restaurants, bars and entertainment at the two sister properties on the island as well.

Sandals Regency La Toc

The vibe at Sandals Regency La Toc: Sandals Regency La Toc wraps classic Caribbean romance in a refined, grown‑up atmosphere. Towering palms, manicured gardens and sweeping sea views are the backdrop to days that can be as laid‑back or as active as you want them to be. This resort is perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries and “just because” escapes. Some areas feel secluded and exclusive, while the long stretch of sand below is perfect for barefoot walks and watersports.

I stayed at Sandals Regency La Toc for 7 nights in an Emerald Oceanview Walkout Suite, right next to the main pool, bars and beach. This was perfect for us as we like to be closer to everything but there are lots of other room types and areas of this resort to stay in ….

Our room

Suites with a view: from hillside retreats to beachfront favourites: Accommodation at Sandals Regency La Toc is designed around romance and views where you can choose between clifftop privacy and beach‑level convenience.

Hillside suites with private pools: Perched high above the bay, the most sought‑after suites combine panoramic ocean views with private plunge pools or pools shared between just a few suites. These hideaways are ideal if you love the idea of spending time alone together, lingering over room‑service breakfast and slipping into your own pool as the sun sets.

Beachfront and poolside rooms: If you prefer being closer to the action, there are stylish rooms and suites near the main pools and beach. These tend to be popular with couples who like to alternate between the sand, the bar and the water sports centre without ever being too far from their room.

Butler‑level options: For an added layer of indulgence, butler‑serviced categories come with personalised attention, from reserving your pool loungers and arranging in‑suite dinners to coordinating your golf tee times or restaurant bookings across all three Sandals resorts.

Dining: a world of flavours on your doorstep: Food is a big part of the experience at Sandals Regency La Toc. Within the resort you will find a generous selection of restaurants and bars, so you can dine somewhere different each night. These include classic Caribbean grill and beachside favourites for relaxed lunches with your toes in the sand, Pan‑Asian and teppanyaki‑style venues where chefs cook right in front of you, Italian and French‑inspired restaurants, casual snack spots including a pizzeria and pool bars and they even the English Cricketer's Pub!

Because this is Sandals, premium drinks, speciality coffees and a good range of wines are all part of the all‑inclusive package and, of course, the real magic comes when you add in the restaurants at the other two Sandals resorts in Saint Lucia as well, giving you a huge combined choice of cuisines and atmospheres across the island!

Pools, beach and activities: as chilled or as active as you like: At Sandals Regency La Toc you can enjoy: Beautiful outdoor pools with swim‑up bars and plenty of sunloungers and parasols, A wide sandy beach ideal for sunbathing, swimming or simply strolling hand in hand, water sports included such as hobie cats, paddleboarding, waterskiing and snorkelling, usually with equipment and tuition available. Scuba diving for certified divers, which at Sandals is typically part of the all‑inclusive experience, a well‑equipped gym, golf closeby and daytime entertainment and activities from pool games to low‑key competitions and classes. In the evenings, the mood shifts to live music, themed nights and shows, or simply sipping a nightcap at one of the resort’s atmospheric bars.

Watersports

During our stay we did a catamaran daytrip which passed by fishing villages and to the majestic ‘Pitons’ (St Lucia’s two mountainous volcanos), stopped for a trip to the Sulfur Springs in a drive-in volcano and a dip at the Totaille Waterfalls and then, after lunch back onboard, we snorkelled over a protected reef.

Stay at 1, Play at 3: unlocking the best of Sandals in Saint Lucia: One of the biggest benefits of choosing Sandals Regency La Toc is that you can enjoy the “Stay at 1, Play at 3” concept. While La Toc is your base, you can head out and make full use of the facilities at the other two Sandals resorts on the island, Grande St.Lucian and Halcyon Beach, with transfers typically provided between them. This means you have more beaches to discover, more pools to relax around, more restaurants and bars to experience and more evening entertainment to dip into when you fancy a change of scene. So your all‑inclusive stay becomes an island‑wide experience, with three distinct atmospheres and settings to enjoy.

Who this resort is perfect for?: Sandals Regency La Toc is ideal for couples and honeymooners who want a romantic, adults‑only Caribbean escape, golf‑loving pairs with a golf course close by, guests who enjoy variety, thanks to the Stay at 1, Play at 3 concept across all three Sandals resorts in Saint Lucia and those who like a mix of activity and relaxation, with plenty to do on site yet lots of quiet spots to unwind.

Pool

Sandals have a dedicated lounge for your arrival at St Lucia. This is lovely as you wait for your transfer with arrival drinks and snacks. The transfer by road took around an hour but you can also book a ferry or helicopter transfer if you prefer. 

We absolutely loved St Lucia and would love to return to stay at one of the other two Sandals resorts on the island.

Sandals also have resorts in Antigua (1), Bahamas (2), Barbados (2), Curacao (1), Grenada (1) or Jamaica (7) or one of their newest resorts in Saint Vincent (1).
