Day Pass at Sandals Antigua or St. Lucia Golf Resort??
 
We(3 couples) are going on a cruise and had planned to spend the day at Sandals Golf Resort in St. Lucia. It now seems that there are tons of wonderful things on that island that we don't want to miss so we were wondering about the Sandals in Antigua. If anyone has been to both, could you please give us some guidance. Is Antigua's as nice? I really don't want more than one day at some place like that. How is snorkeling in Antigua?

I have been to both islands and would definetly do Sandals in Antigua versus St.Lucia - was too much to see there. The Pitons are well worth traveling too.<BR><BR>Sandals Antigua is a great place to spend the day - there is less to see on the island, all your drinks and meals will be paid for and you can snorkle there as well. Plus, the beaches are better in Antigua - much nicer then either of the Sandals in St. Lucia where the sand is very dark. The snorkling is Antiuga is good - water is very clear but coral lost alot of color from all the hurricanes but tons of fish. Beach is nice and long and you can snorkle as much as you want.<BR><BR>

Antigua is our favorite of all the Sandals. It's very, very nice. Snorkeling is good here, the staff takes you to a couple of good spots and the watersports people are great! Plus, the food and bartenders make you feel at home. If you have the opportunity, go for it and have a great time! You will enjoy catching some rays on the beach, too.
