This resort is not worth the money. The first full day, we went to get breakfast at Spices and birds were all over the place and were landing on tables in the first two rows of the restaurant. The hostess tried to sit my wife and I at one of those tables try to say it’s not a big deal. We had to tell them no so they could sit us in an area the… Read more
This resort is not worth the money. The first full day, we went to get breakfast at Spices and birds were all over the place and were landing on tables in the first two rows of the restaurant. The hostess tried to sit my wife and I at one of those tables try to say it’s not a big deal. We had to tell them no so they could sit us in an area the birds did not go. We stayed gone most of the day, returning to our run around 4:00pm and our room had not been cleaned yet. The second and third days were a little better, but the rooms still were not cleaned until almost the evening. The fourth was the worse day, the fridge in the room was supposed to to be replaced, which did not happen. Found out multiple restaurants were not going to open for service and all the reservation restaurants were fully booked. Went to the English pub, had to wait 20 minutes for a seat, to then be seat in a space that we ended up seeing roaches. When the room was cleaned they did not provide any wash clothes until we talked to management. We were told by so many people to stay at Sandals because it was so wonderful. I totally disagree!!! There are many different all inclusive resorts that are cheaper in price and provide greater services. Read less

Sandals was a very nice resort and overall a very good experience. We just wish that there were more activities going on to do.

Sandals was a very nice resort and overall a very good experience. We just wish that there were more activities going on to do. The activities that they did have were pretty good but there were some times where there was nothing happening and it seemed a little slow. Larkin and Kenny however were fantastic! They made sure that you were well taken care of at the bar and the drink was made exactly how you wanted. Alesia was great at the restaurants and made sure you had everything you needed and if there was anything she could do to make your dining experience better. Read less

Let’s just say this was my first sandals experience and I won’t be my last. It being my honeymoon I already had high expectations but the team at Sandals blew me away. From friendly service and smiling faces to the pristine maintenance and care of the hotel and grounds was amazing. All restaurants did not disappoint. The bartenders ( some of my favorites: Zebe, Shaq, Johnoy, Taniel and Ariela) from both resorts are hard working friendly people. Just be patient and they will get to you. To do it right get a swim up room if you can. It’s soooo worth the money. Merry Monkey pub was a great late night spot. Hope to get back within the next 3 yrs Read less

We stayed at the Sandals Barbados June 26th to July 3rd. We had a great time. The resort is right next to the Sandals Royal Barbados. This means that you have access to the facilities at both resorts. It’s a nice bonus. More options is a good thing to have. We stayed in a Beachfront Honeymoon Club Level Suite. It was nice. The view overlooked one of the pools and the beach. We would choose the same room again. One of the main reasons for us choosing Sandals resorts is that the scuba diving is included. So, they have beautifully maintained grounds, great beach, multiple pools, great selection of restaurants, multiple bars, great premium level cocktails, and great activities (both daytime and in the evenings). Oh, and the Sandals staff are nice people. Pretty much perfect. I highly recommend spending some time at the rooftop pool. It has a great view of the beach and the resort. We dove every day that we could, six out of our seven days. We really enjoyed the diving. The dive team, starting with my favorite, Melissa, were so nice and represented Sandals perfectly. Shout out to Jalissa too! Thanks to the boat Captains, Phillip and Paterson, dive Masters Seth, Robert, Mike, and Torrie. They all made our time under the water and on the boat safe and fun. They did a good at pointing out interesting sea life. As I noted, all the Sandals staff that we encountered are nice people. I do want to recognize some that made our time at Sandals extra special. Jack, the Manager at the Merry Monkey. Is an absolute gem. Alicia (Bartender), Adio (Hobie Cats), Charmaine (Spa), Krystal (Spa), and Melissa (Diving). Yes, I know I mentioned Melissa previously....And, of course, Bruno and Patrick. Read less
