You do get ripped off on the rooms. A beachfront honeymoon suite would be set so far back from the beach you'd need a pair of binoculars to see it and the sand isn't as white as as it looks in the brochures.
Look for a Sensatori instead, would be my advice.

I've not stayed but have read many reviews and have been to the beach where the Antigua one is (Sandals Grande). It seems to depend on what you want - quite noisy, very crowded, lots of organised entertainment, you need to book everything from meals to sunbeds. Plus the beach it's on is packed and heavily frequented by vendors. However if you like that buzz you may love it. Alternatively I'd look at an adults only boutique hotel if you really just want to chill.
pleased you are getting hitched Barmaid
people I know liked St Lucia
but the americans pay a premium for security ( so you dont get shot and you know you arent gonna get splatted ) which you may not feel that endangered
in which case you may be able to get the same luggzury at less cost.... ( speaking to an anguillan who had a condo )

I too went to the one in The Bahamas (1997) and found it quite Americanised, and largely empty in the evening, as they all went to the casino a few doors down. That being said, I really enjoyed it, lovely food and surroundings. My friends went to the one on St Lucia last year, and thought it wasn’t anywhere near worth the money that they paid for it.
