Just returning from an amazing week at Sandals Barbados. The property is absolutely beautiful and the food was fantastic at all of the restaurants. Jack at the Merry Monkey was fun and really makes sure his guests are taken care of! He sings pretty great too. Adrian in the loyalty office made sure we got the best deals on our next trip. Ty made the pool games fun! We came across many great people I just didn’t get a lot of names. My only negative would be I wish there was more entertainment. However I know this week was the Crop-Over festival and may have stolen the show. Now outside of Sandals I feel I need to share that we chose to go on Captain Larry’s excursion. After reading all the great reviews we thought it would be fun. I feel I need to let others know that the reviews were very misleading. We did not enjoy the day. We were told that we would have a private tour for our group. We were picked up in a van, we saw monkeys for about 15 minutes, we spent about 30-40 minutes total on a boat that went about 500 ft from shore to snorkel and see turtles that were fed. The rest of the 7 hours was spent riding in the van and seeing sites from the window. It was mind numbingly boring! And I hope this review will serve to warn people of the true nature of the tour before spending $350. This didn’t stop us from having the best time on the resort! It is even greater that the both resorts are so close and offer a wide variety of things to do! Highly recommend visiting! Read less

My wife and I had a blast at Sandals Barbados. Got to meet some new friends, ate some awesome food, celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. So many special parts of our trip. We booked Captain Larry for two days. We explored the entire island with OG. We went to the oldest synogogue in the western hemisphere, then to a Mount Gay Rum tour, then to St. Nicholas Abbey Heritage Great House, Rum Distillery and train ride around the plantation, and finally OG drove us to the Flower Forest just before they closed. We learned a ton of history over the two days. Day 1 we did his regular tour and fed the monkeys. The highlight was snorkeling with the turtles. The water was so clear at Carlise Bay. We also experienced the last day of the Crop Over festival. Big party, lots of costumes and music. As far as the resort, It was very green and beautiful. We were on the Club level. We ate at almost every restaurant. They were all great. We had ice cream every night at Cafe de Paris. Yummy! We relaxed at the beach and pool. I enjoyed my Bob Marley and Blue Hawaiian frozen drinks. I even asked the bartenders to make me other drinks based on my preferences. They all were talented mixologists. The water wasn’t the best but we understand that it’s not the resort’s fault. The resort felt more relaxed than our previous trips to St. Lucia. This includes the entertainment. I really enjoyed Peach Bless’ performances. Bowling at Lovers Lane was fun. Also their table arcade games. We were told that Sandals Barbados was at 60% capacity. We went to our first loyalty dinner, ate Surf and Turf with the GM and mingled with other travellers. There were so many employees that truly made a difference. From Amanda our housekeeper to Ramona our photographer to every wait staff that ensured we enjoyed our meal, along with just passing employees as we walked the resort, each person greeted us with a smile and asked about our day! We even enjoyed our time with the artist Robert Babb and are taking home a part of the island with us. When Sandals Barbados says, “Welcome Home”, they truly mean It!! Read less

Standards dropped completely. Service and cleanliness. Plates and trays were left in the hall for hours/overnight and no one picked them up. Not surprised that there were roaches in the rooms. Someone even said there were frogs on the plates in the morning when they opened their door since it was never cleaned. Plates/glasses in common areas… Read more
Standards dropped completely. Service and cleanliness. Plates and trays were left in the hall for hours/overnight and no one picked them up. Not surprised that there were roaches in the rooms. Someone even said there were frogs on the plates in the morning when they opened their door since it was never cleaned. Plates/glasses in common areas were not cleaned for hours. Staff would walk past and not even attempt to clean it up. Staff were either rude or didn’t know what they were doing. When they mixed up our reservation somehow it was our fault. Mixing up orders at dinner. The rooms..sigh..we had to call to get the room cleaned and even when it was, the faucets and shower was still dirty. The entire experience when it came to customer service was terrible. The only good thing was the food at Bombay and Butch. Unless they improve their customer service, I would not recommend going.
