I have read on this forum that in the Sandals resorts, it's okay to book the lowest price room because the difference between room categories is not that significant (but costs a lot more.) Has anyone stayed at the Sandals Grande in St. Lucia? How were the lowest catgeory rooms? Is it worth the extra $ to get a "better" room?

Yes - I would be quite happy to book one of the lowest catagory room at Sandals Grande St Lucian. All the rooms are nice - you just get less of a view!
In fact I wouldn't choose one of the more expensive rooms with the plunge pool even if it was the same price. They have no view and the pool seemed to be a magnet for the mosquitos!
Go ahead - how much time will you spend in your room anyway? You get the same bar, beach, food, entertainment, sun, sea etc. as the person who has paid 3 times as much to stay in the most expensive room.

Hi,
I was there when it was still the hyatt.
I wouldnt spend the extra $ on the plunge pool rooms, you have no view and are the furthest from the ocean.

This is a great hotel!

I wouldn't spend the extra money for a plunge pool or a suite either. However, the view of Rodney Bay from the beachfront side is spectacular and something worth paying for, for us. I'd rather have a great view and an OK room

Thank you for all your information! I figured just as you all said, that you are not spending much time in your room anyway. But what are the rooms/bathrooms in the lowest cateogry like at the Sandals Grande St. Lucia?

To the best of my knowledge all the rooms are basically the same. The views and levels of service (concierge, suites etc.) are where the price difference comes in.
