We had the amazing opportunity to have our photos taken by the incredible Delmore during our stay at Sandals. Not only did he make us feel welcomed and comfortable during our photoshoot, but he went above and beyond his call of duty to make us happy. Whether this was writing our names and drawing in the sand for an amazing pic, taking extra photos of us when he saw us on at the resort, walking us to lunch, or simply connecting us with the watersports company when we had questions. Our stay at this resort was beyond amazing, and everyone was very kind and welcoming, but Delmore made us want to come back even more. When other photographers made it seem like they "needed" to take photos of us for their benefit, Delmore always made it about us and our benefit. Read less

any good organization starts with caring and involved leadership. leighton leads an amazing team. from our attentive housekeeper, sherry to ladonna in grounds to janet,jolecia and zeuroy at barefoot and around the pool. casheika who made us omelets and lateshia who is the absolute best in helping us plan all of our future sandals trips. our team concierge superstars included daron, deshawn, jowan and seanana. and the nature tour...extraordinary and people were so jealous of the bouquets we got. overall antigua is our favorite sandals (4 times so far and going back in 2028). the team in antigua lives the sandals values every day and we are grateful for each and every member of the team.
