After breakfast we went to the quiet pool and chatted with a couple from Ontario.  They told us that Sandals in St Lucia, is a lovely resort. Allan and I had a wonderful time at Beaches (until we didn’t with Covid), so I’d be interested in investigating Sandals, which is the adult version of Beaches, for next year. 

We met Marco, the general manager, on our way to meet Sharon and Dick for lunch at Rasta beach grill, and we told him that we thought the restaurants needed a bit of revamping. He said he was totally aware and he was going to be implementing major changes. He has only been here for four months, and he is definitely trying his best. 

He asked if I wanted more basil but told him we were leaving tomorrow. He asked what our cottage number was and told us he was sending a bottle of wine to us for dinner tonight. Allan shook his hand and I leaned in to kiss his cheek and he made me kiss his other cheek as well saying “I’m Italian!!”  

We had a lovely lunch at Rasta Grill and said farewell to Theo, our favorite waiter. 

We lounged on the beach for a while and then went back to pack. 

We met Sharon and Dick for a pre-dinner cocktail and then made our way over to Sails and Tales. (Apparently, I’ve been spelling “Tales” wrong all these days…spelling it “Tails”…rather than what it actually is…”Tales”. But I think “Tails” works better…lobster tails, fish tails…but what do I know!)

We had our pictures taken before dinner and we were then seated. All of the staff seemed to keep checking on us all throughout dinner, mainly because Marco, true to his word, sent a bottle of wine to our table. I guess the waitstaff figured we knew Marco and so they did their best to make us feel special. 

It was a lovely Valentine’s Day and we are sad to know our vacay has come to an end. Tomorrow, we fly home.
