Sandals Resorts’ big Caribbean enhancement push is continuing.

The latest upgrade? The new Beachfront Crystal Lagoon Suites at the Sandals Halcyon Beach resort in St. Lucia.

The new suites (see photo at the top of the page), which officially debuted on Aug. 29, are just a step away from the beach, with comfortable swim-up access from the property’s Crystal Lagoon pool.

The new rooms have both views of the Caribbean Sea and the lush tropical landscape around the property.

Each patio also includes a tranquility soaking tub that includes privacy curtains for what Sandals calls “maximum romance.”

Inside the rooms, which are Butler Elite-level units, guests have master bedrooms with modern hardwood furnishings, a king-sized bed and large HD smart TV.

Bathrooms include a soaking tub, oversized walk-in showers, dual backlit mirrors, his and hers sinks and mosaic tile accents.

You may never want to swim away.
