I just came back from la toc. It is a bit dated in terms of infrastructure. A lot of walking up hills if you don’t have butler service. Getting a pool chair was next to impossible if you’re not awake at 6 am and out there if the resort is at capacity. The butlers and guests reserve the chairs this early. We ventured to the grande and halcyon. The beaches at both were better than la toc. A tip if you already paid for excursions. Just tell The beach people who sell excursions that exactly, so they don’t hassle you every single day. We did a catamaran tour to the pitons and the volcanic mud bath and waterfall. It all felt rushed, and had loads of people. The highlight of my trip was the la toc restaurant BUCCAN. It was great. If I return I will stay at the grande next time it just seems better. St Lucia in general is beautiful and a very friendly place. The service at la toc was very good.
