Getting Ready for the Greek Village at Sandals Grande St. Lucian

I can’t tell you how excited I am about the plans we have in store for Sandals Grande St. Lucian. After trying for quite a while, we were finally able to acquire the gorgeous plot of land directly adjacent to the resort, right on the shores of magnificent Rodney Bay. We intend to make this lot into the Greek Village at Sandals Grande St. Lucian—slated to open in 2011.

With proposed features, such as sumptuous Swim-Up River Suites; palatial Rondoval Suites; and our 22 totally breathtaking (and unprecedented for the Caribbean) Over the Water Suites, 1300 square-feet, elevated accommodations which will extend right out over the aquamarine sea; plus countless other one-of-a-kind luxuries and innovations, the Greek Village would represent the greatest and most elaborate expansion in our entire 28-year history!

We’re not wasting any time either. We just cleared the land and we’re getting ready to break ground. It’s going to be really electrifying to see this awesome village built from the ground up. I’m so thrilled about this project, in fact, that I actually took time away from all the buzz and preparations leading up to the Grand Opening of the Italian Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos this week and flew down to St. Lucia to go over the construction layouts and examine the site. I can only tell you that it is going to be absolutely over-the-top. So stay tuned and I’ll keep you updated as the buildings start to go up and the Greek Village begins to take shape. As always with Sandals and Beaches, great things lie ahead!

Here I am with Mark Harding, Senior Regional Project Manager for the Eastern Caribbean, and one of my right-hand men, Wayne Cummings, Director of Business Processes and Administration, as we look over the building plans. You can see the red roofs and rondoval cones of Sandals Grande St. Lucian in the background.

We have a lot to discuss, as I check out some of the incredible features of the proposed Greek Village with Mark Harding and Director of Projects, Eleanor Miller.

Wayne Cummings and I listen in as Mark Harding tells us about yet another unbelievable aspect of the building plans.
