“Christmas in Antigua”

Jan 03, 2026ClaireandJohn

We spend Christmas in Antigua this year, the resort was tastefully decorated with lots of Christmas trees and lighting, very festive atmosphere. We have visited Antigua many times but not in December, it was quite chilly and the ocean was not warm enough for us to swim in. We always stay in the Villas with Private Pools on the Mediterranean side, this visit the pool was freezing, we did not use our A/C only to freshen the suite a little while we were out, waste of money on this occasion. Our suite was cleaned early and turn down service was done while we were out in the evening which we appreciated. We just could not get supplies to make coffee in our room, even when the Butler managed to leave us some coffee sachets, someone else came in and took them! The resort was very busy due to three Sandals Resorts that are still closed in Jamaica due to hurricane damage, The beach was very crowded with guests, families and cruise passengers which were continually being dropped off by water taxis, very little provision seems to have been made for their shore visit, some were trying to enter the resort. The only restaurant that requires reservation is Eleanors, as Sandals Ambassador guests we have visited all the Sandals resorts many times, for lots of reasons but definitely not for the food. Evening dinner for us is always disappointing, our best option this visit was Marios and the worst were OK Corral and Eleanors. We do not bother with the entertainment or visit the pub so cannot comment. Dining experience was better for us in Grenada, Curacao and Dunn's River. Loyalty staff particularly Andy (manager) and Dillion who did our booking for us were excellent. The Returning Guest Dinner and the V.I.P lunch hosted by our favourite Sandals GM (David Latchimy) were well organised, friendly and enjoyable. Our lovely Butlers were Wendel, Niesha and Vakeshia, a good choice. Our Airline was definitely not a good choice, we booked London to Antigua via Miami with American Airlines. The return flight from Antigua to Miami was very delayed so we missed our London connection. In the overcrowded Antigua and Miami airports we were sitting on hard plastic chairs for a total of 31 hours, even celebrated our wedding anniversary there! UK and European airlines are obliged by law to attend to passenger's welfare commencing after 2+ hours delay, whatever the cause of the delay, offering food & drink, complimentary phone calls, accommodation if overnight. In addition, compensation would also be paid if it were the airlines' fault. American Airlines failed to undertake any responsibility whatsoever and just abandoned us, lesson learned we will never again fly with this airline. Entering Antigua requires documentation, we did not receive any forms on American Airlines. Fortunately, before we left home we went to the 'visit Antigua' site' and completed form online and acquired the necessary QR code for entry and exit. As we do not have cell service at the airports we saved the information/QR code in a screen shot. Thank you to the lovely staff who gave up part of their Christmas to look after us. Happy New Year.

“Not a favorite.”

Jan 02, 2026Michele M

We have stayed at Sandals resorts 11 times. This resort was are most disappointing. The food was marginal as was the service. JohnJay (watersports) and Leroy(lobby area) were very friendly and very helpful. The staff in the dinning areas were not unpleasant but were for a job and not service.

“Sandalls Holiday - Fantastic Experience!”

Jan 01, 2026Martin G

Fantastic experience, service great, all staff very happy and David ( GM for the Site ) should be very proud of his team. Excellent service, very polite well mannered staff at all times no matter what role they participated in. David was very polite and a good leader who was always present talking to guests and his Team. Some stand out members of the Sandalls Team for us as a family during our stay; Kamar and the Watersports / Dive Team; Extremely knowledgeable and very very friendly, Kamar, Urantus, Miguel, Donjay, Stephen and the rest of the team were excellent and very helpful at all times! Dale and the team at The Bayside Restaurant; Dale and his team were extremely welcoming and always gave a fantastic service, the food was great, ALL staff were very helpful especially Stacey. They also catered for allergies well and helped my wife with her Dairy Intolerance. John - OK Coral Restaurant John and the team inc’ the Chef were very very accommodating and the food was very good. Service was also top drawer lead by John and the team. John was a very good waiter towards everyone who visited the OK Coral. The ‘French’ Coffee Shop; All the staff here were extremely helpful and again very friendly and polite at all times. Service was good with everyone who visited very happy! All in all an extremely good stay and fantastic memories. Thanks to the team! Martin, Karen, Amelie and Guillaume
