Great location, perfect vacation and chill enviroment

May 20, 2025 Jessica D New Durham, New Hampshire

I would like to take moment to thank the entire staff here in Barbados. The resort is huge, especially since you can use both Sandals resorts there. There are so many options, it almost feels overwhelming. But it was such a great place to visit, to disconnect and reconnect. When we landed, our room wasn't ready, which was fine! We decided to have lunch at Neptune's and Rashawn was our waiter. He was so pleasant, engaging and made sure to keep our drinks (and plates!) full. Once we were checked in and went back to make our dinner reservations, we worked with Scott. We laughed and joked together, and he took the time to make sure all our questions were answered. Dale at the infinity pool is so much fun! Her playful manner and constant smile is enjoyed by everyone. She takes the time to stop and chat with everyone, making them feel just a little extra special. Meryl was a new bartender, as an intern and she was rocking it! I can't believe how much her confidence soared in a week. Annette was our waitress at Butch's on the Barbados side. She explained it was her first night there (she normally works at The Greenhouse) and asked that we forgive her for any errors. Let's just say she nailed it! Way to go Annette! We worked with Adrian in your sales department. Even after closing the sale with us (because of course we booked another vacation!) he still would come chat with us. He wasn't pushy at all, helping us and our friends at the swim up bar lock in a fantastic deal, and showed me how to apply my military discount. He laughed and joked with us. We talked about other vacations we have all taken, and it really felt like I was having a conversation with a friend, not just another sales person. It's honestly the first time I haven't felt pressured into booking anything right then and there. We had an amazing time with Dwayne for our photo shoot. We laughed a bunch and he took some great photos of us. He allowed our sense of humor shine in the photos and as my father said "this really sums up your relationship/marriage in one photo". I worked with Jalisa to close out the purchase of our photo package and she was great! She made the process simple and lowkey. She even made sure I know how to save the photos to my phone, and she saved me some money too, and who doesn't love that?! I also had the pleasure of having Danica at the spa provide a hair treatment for me. The moment I met her, I just felt at ease. I had a really emotional day and she helped ease my hurting heart by just being her radiant self. My soul felt peace being around her and soon we were laughing and chatting about life. We talked about families, friends, knitting, pets, and our same way of dealing with people. I know it was just a hair treatment, but it really felt my heart received a treatment as well. The only downsides are the nighttime entertainment & the small details that are overlooked, but speak volumes. I wish the nighttime entertainment started earlier and went longer. But when the shows start at 9PM, that's a long time to wait with nothing to do if you eat dinner around 6PM. It would be so nice to have something start at 7 and maybe have things starting every hour or so after. Also, little things like handles in the elevators being broken, bathroom stall doors not locking, the pool edges not being cleaned just left a bad taste in my mouth. Sandals has such high standards and seeing these little things is just a disappointment and eye sore. The only complaint I have on the food was Kimonos. We had an 830 reservation and the chef didn't start cooking until 915. And he didn't seem very happy about it. I know 4 people were missing from the table, but to be honest, we almost left too as it was 45 minutes late. Overall, everyone was incredibly welcoming and their love for their job certainly shows.

Our first and very last stay at Sandals.

May 20, 2025 Mike-N-Mississippi Mississippi

My wife and I, along with two other couples booked this trip to enjoy this together. We all spoke to Sandals reservations on speakerphone together. We told them that we needed to be where we were close to the beach and amenities were. All the reservations agent was interested in was getting a credit card and getting us off the phone. Well, we spent just short of $10,000 per couple. When we arrived, we were as far away from everything as we could be. Three of our group are suffering physical challenges and it has become almost impossible to get what we wanted. The internet didn’t work and the room phone didn’t either. They eventually fixed it. After complaints to management, they have tried to help but without success. The property is acceptable but somewhat tired. The food is mediocre at best. I ordered grilled fish and got fish jerky. There were cats roaming through the open air restaurant, so I gave the fish to the cats. The resort is on the windward side of the island so it is almost impossible to get in the water but of course, at an additional fee they will take you to a bay to swim. No thanks, you have already ripped me off for $10,000, so we will all sit in our rooms, order room service and watch TV. This isn’t a bad, dumpy place, but you can find much better elsewhere for the money. Read less

Second time didn’t disappoint

May 19, 2025 LesleyDavidson1 Redcar, United Kingdom

Our second visit to this lovely resort only 20 mins from the airport. we stayed in a south seas crystal lagoon club level SSLB room 9212 on the Royal side this time. i was a bit concerned as a lot of poor reviews recently and did look at changing at one time however we were flying in with caribbean airlines after a week in st vincent and as all small flights were already booked we would have lost money and i’m so glad that we couldn’t change now. if you do not like the smell of smoke though then request not to be in this room as it is on the end of the building and there is a smoking area right next to it. we did request to be moved but there weren’t any other rooms available. we also asked to pay and upgrade but apparently no other rooms. we were told that they would move the smokers chairs away a bit but that never happened so we basically didn’t use the balcony all week. A shame really as we always have breakfast on the balcony on our last day at every sandals resort we’ve visited so this broke our tradition. (this is the only reason i have given it 4 instead of 5 stars). The rooms seemed a bit dated but we had just done a week in sandals st vincent which is all new . we did have a fantastic week, all the restaurants (especially bombay) were all great. the chilli dog lady was outside every day too. the piano bar was as lively as ever with the fab bar staff too all of the staff at this resort are so friendly and helpful hubby only went diving once at this resort mainly due to the fact that you have to get a bus to get on the boat whereas most other sandals resorts you go from the beach. Though he did love the diving having been here before, he didn’t feel the longer days were worth doing it again. this is a big resort with lots to do. lots of restaurants bowling and entertainment. piano bar and merry monkey pub. talking of monkeys the wild monkeys come and visit most days at various spots around the resort. Also a couple of hens live here and had just had their chicks hatch. we did have a fabulous week but in future wherever we go we would put in special requests to not have a room near designated smoking areas.

Somewhat disappointing

May 15, 2025 John S Warminster,Pa

The positives: The resort including the infinity pool, was kept very clean. Our room was nice and clean. Many of the employees around the resort were pleasant. The food for the most part was good, especially at Neptunes and the Italian restaurant. The negatives: We were a little disappointed with the lack of ocean view from our room. The staff at the welcome room somewhat ignored us when we got there. We didn’t have use of our phone for 3 days to try to make dinner reservations. They messed up our dinner reservation for Monday night. They could be a little more customer friendly. The bartenders could be a little more pleasant. **The exception was the guy at the lobby piano bar at the Barbados resort. He was great, very personable and funny. In addition the bars were not well stocked. One of their featured drinks at the pool bar was a blue drink but they couldn’t make it because they didn’t have Blue Curaçao. To do snorkeling or scuba it was about a 30 minute ride to the docks. **The beach had a lot of seaweed and was not cleaned the entire week we were there. *** we were told that any towels on beach or pool chairs before 7am would be removed. I went down a number of times around 6:30 to try to get chairs and many had towels and butler signs on them. On the last day I went down at 6am to find employees ( not butlers) putting towels and butler signs on chairs. Was VERY AGGRAVATED with that!! Read less

Great holiday, great service and a great experience all round

May 15, 2025 Rob I Crowborough, United Kingdom

The whole experience with Sandals was brilliant. This was our first holiday with Sandals and the first time in the Caribbean. We booked a South Seas Rondoval Suite with a private pool, a couples massage and a candlelit dinner on the beach. Arrival in Barbados was really easy, a Sandals team member met us at the airport and helped us through arrivals and straight to our waiting car. The chauffer was fantastic and gave us some great tips for places to see in Bridgetown. The resort is two hotels combined so a tour with Daquain (one of our team of butlers) was really useful, it is a fairly big resort with plenty of options. The grounds are well looked after and well maintained. Our Rondoval was a really good choice with its private pool in a quiet location on the resort. The rooms were clean and included everything we needed. One nice touch for UK travellers is the room had both the local plug sockets but also UK plug sockets and USB charging points. The only thing I would change about the rooms is adding some plants to the private areas to add a bit more colour. Dinner reservations were all made via the butler team and there are plenty of options. By far the best meal we had was at Kimonos offering far eastern food prepared in teppanyaki style. The chef was first class and so was the meal. Wasn't too sure what to expect but it turned out to be one of the highlights of any of our holidays. The Merry Monkey is also worth a shout if you are after engligh food, especially the burger. We also went to La Parissienne and the french cafe for breakfasts. Butchs Chop House was also another great meal. In general the food was really good across both hotels restaurants with plenty of options for every taste. The evening entertainment was a little sparce at times with a couple of last minute cancellations however the Sunday evening show was fantastic. Although, if the entertainment is cancelled there are plenty of bars including the Sky Bar which is worth a visit in the evening, especially for the view and the bowling alley (although that can get busy if its wet outside). Special shout outs to our team of Butlers (Shaakira, Daquain Donald and the intern) and Shanelle (from the Spa), they were so friendly and really looked after us both. It's not an easy job and they deserve so much respect and thanks for what they do. Read less
