He was always walking around and checking on the guests! Made you feel at home!! Maurice (Captain) and his first mate were outstanding during our water adventure! All of the ladies in the ice cream shop were exceptionally nice (especially to me). lol and fun to be around. They took great care to ensure we got what we wanted!! Ms. Stacy was great at breakfast, lunch and dinner, or anytime we saw her! She worked hard to seat us together! Trishawna from the tour desk was super! She even offered to take our group picture! I told the photographer guys you better watch out she may steal their jobs!! Now, Mr. Neco was absolutely the best, he checked on everyone everyday. If you needed something to happen, or if something wasn’t going right, just ask him! Customer service with a smile and love!! I’m sure I missed someone who helped make this a wonderful experience/trip. The ladies that took care of our room were also looking to please and had the room ready everyday! Great service! The ladies in the travel office were great!! Marcia, set the standards, she worked hard to get our next trips setup. Yea, even Andy was good!!! lol So, everything was great!! Thank you Sandals Grande Antigua!! Read less

This was our third time to Sandals Grand Antigua in a year! Yes we love it! The employees make the resort! It starts at the top with David the general manager. He is always around the resort to ensure everything is running smoothly. I even saw him helping to wash glasses at the pool bar when they were a little backed up. That sets the example for all employees. The resort is beautiful, clean, and the landscaping is amazing. The entertainment crew does a fantastic job both during the day and evenings. I would like to acknowledge just a few employees out of many who went out of their way to make this past trip extra special. David the general manager, Junior from entertainment, Je'mel from the concierge desk, Antoria from the OK Corral, and finally Shellon from Loyalty and Travel who booked our next Sandals vacation at Beaches Turks and Caicos.

We toured with Lawrence in Antigua, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The tour was very informative as we drove through the lush tropical rainforest, taking in beautiful scenery and learning about the island along the way. We also had the chance to visit stunning beaches and stopped at OJ’s Beach Bar & Restaurant, where we enjoyed some of the freshest mahi-mahi sandwiches—truly out of this world. After lunch, we relaxed, swam, and soaked up the Caribbean atmosphere right on the beach. This tour was easily a 5 out of 5. I would absolutely recommend Lawrence for anyone looking to experience the beauty, culture, and flavors of Antigua in a fun and personalized way. Read less

What a beautiful resort! We wanted an all inclusive resort and it was perfect! We decided to have butler service and they were spectacular! Sean and Dionne were so personable and helped us so much throughout our week there. They even surprised us with a beautifully decorated room for our 30th anniversary as well as a decorative table for dinner that evening. All of this would not have been possible without Amy from Dream Makers Vacation Services. Even though we decided on this trip, very last minute, she helped us so much by providing as many options as possible for the week we wanted. She gave great descriptions of each resort to help with the decision process. If you are considering Sandals Grande Antigua, reach out to Amy from Dream Makers Vacation Services and she will go above and beyond for you too!! Read less
