Not worth the money!

Oct 18, 2025 kspence2024 Newton Abbot, United Kingdom

My husband and I stayed at the Sandals Royal Barbados in January of this year and were expecting an amazing holiday. We paid more for this trip than any other holiday, but as we struggle to find time for holidays we felt we deserved a treat! When we told people we were going on a Sandals holiday, everyone raved and said we would have the best time and feel so spoilt and looked after - we came home feeling like it was a complete waste of money. Room - the room was fine and spacious and a great selection of alcohol. Housekeeping was fine apart from one day they forgot to leave clean towels. We only realised when we were about to shower for dinner so had to call down and wait for towels to be delivered. We did use room service a couple of times and this was probably one of the better parts of the experience. Pools - we struggled to get sun loungers every day as the butlers reserve them at stupid o'clock for those who have paid for that service. We didn't manage to get loungers by the main pool at all in the 10 days we were there. One day there were no clean towels by the pool and my husband had to go and ask at reception for them to refill them. You don't get a card to swap for a pool towel like usual all-inclusives so you can take as many as you want (people were taking 6 for 2 people)! Beach - again it was impossible to get loungers on the beach, mainly because of the butler service. We did manage to get them on one day because I had complained and the manager organised it for us. Restaurants - you need to book as soon as you arrive (unless you have the butler service). We went to the Italian one night and they asked us to wait in the bar as there were no tables empty, after 45 mins we went back in and they had forgotten about us. The restaurant was half empty! The choice of food during the day was fine but not a huge choice between restaurants and some days we had quite a wait to be seated. Entertainment - there wasn't anything other than a singer on the evening we arrived which only lasted 45 mins, and a singer later on in the week. There was nothing to tell you what was going on in the hotel. We were there for New Years Eve but there was nothing to tell you what the theme was until the day. Staff - some of the staff were lovely and bubbly, but most were quite indifferent. Overall, we won't be rushing to book another Sandals holiday as we have had much better experiences for a lot less money with other companies. Communication is pretty much non-existent around the resort, even finding the toilets was a chore! Read less

Mediocre at Best

Oct 17, 2025 Davdenn Houston, Texas

This was our second trip to a Sandals resort. The first was Sandals Ochi in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Largely due to our experience at Sandals Ochi, we decided to try another Sandals resort. We opted to accept the offer Sandals presented just before we left Ocho Rios. The offer was for seven days at Sandals Royal Barbados with butler elite service. We were quite excited about this trip, but it turned out to be somewhat disappointing. First, the room. The room was quite nice. It was a swim up room, although not a suite, a nice pool was right outside the patio doors, all you had to do was step out into the pool. The pool was shared by the first-floor rooms in this one building (about 10 of them), but most of the time we had the entire pool to ourselves. My only complaint about the room is that it was quite a large room with only one very uncomfortable erect two-seater couch and a small round table. The room could have used some comfortable seating. In all fairness, there were two chairs and a table on the patio, only marginally more comfortable than what was inside the room. Second, this is a butler suite, which is more expensive than their other rooms. We had three butlers assigned to us as we were there for seven days. Butler 1 was mediocre, butler 2 was excellent, and butler 3 was useless. In hindsight, I did not need any of them as I planned all our excursions myself. The only thing they did that I could not do was reserved a table at the French Restaurant within the resort. Butler 1 also reserved an umbrella and lounge chairs on the beach for us, but there were always empty lounge chairs on the beach. Third, the room telephone. The room telephone is what you use to order room service, one of the nice perks of the resort. Our telephone stopped working after the second night. We informed the butlers, but nothing happened. After a day or two, we went to the desk and complained. They told us that it was the butlers who deal with those types of problems, so no help there. They also told us that we could use the phone at the front desk to call room service. Well, that was about a 10-minute walk one way; it was not a practical solution. We were also told that the butlers can place any room service orders for you. Well, that only works from 7am to 10pm. The butlers do not work 10pm -7am, and Room service is 24 hours. We did attempt that with butler 3 once, and we did not receive any room service that night. So, we went four days without a room phone and without room service, a service that we paid for. On the fifth morning, finally someone from IT shows up and the phone is fixed within 15 minutes. This made me angrier. It was an easy fix, but they did not care enough to fix it in a timely manner. Finally, this is the most important issue. The day before we were to leave, we went out for a snorkeling excursion. The night before we were informed in writing that the AC would be off from 10am to 2pm the following day, the same day and about the same time frame that we would be out snorkeling. Great, we would be out for most of the AC repair. Well, 24 hours later as we were checking out of the room, the AC was still not working. At 4pm the day of the AC repair, I informed the butler that the AC was still not working. I was told that they were working on it. Who knows if they were working on it or not, but I highly doubt it, given the attitude that I was confronted with when reporting problems. At about 6pm, I texted the butler. I asked if it was common practice to leave customers in a room that the AC did not work. I got no response. In fact, I did not receive any more communication from any of the butlers from the time of that text onward. Neither of the three butlers contacted me again in any way. I did not see any of them prior to checking out or while we waited for our shuttle to the airport. If none of these things happened, we would have had an excellent trip. However, the complete indifference from the Butlers and the Resort has me questioning if I will return to Sandals again. The resort did not even offer any sort of credit, future discount, or apology. They did offer me a week at Sandals Montego Bay with the standard discounts, and that was all, which is what they do as you are leaving anyway, so nothing special there. There are other resorts that are less expensive in the Caribbean…….. Read less

Nothing amazing

Oct 17, 2025 mirglip Rockingham, United Kingdom

The hotel is very nice .Shame Unless u have either a butler I would not want one you have to be up at stupid o’clock to get a sun bed . We stayed for three nights so 4 days we could not get To our room untill 3 pm so were left wondering around with out our luggage from our arrival at 9.30 till three. Every day aqua fit was advertised in the affinity pool at 11 am was keen to take part along with a number of others it did not happen once . House keeping rooms Were cleaned but twice had to phone down for towels as they were not replaced .Food breakfast was amazing and from there it went down hill.Apart from pizza and jerk chicken every other establishment at lunch had the same menu. Dinner if u are there for a few weeks and not days as we were trying to get a booking on one of the to book for restaurants is more or less impossible and to be honest the food is ok but that is it nothing special . By the way don’t look at the dirt under the toilet rim would not like to say when that was last given a good clean .we have done sandals a few times but feel this will probably be our last and will be looking going forward for other options Read less

Amazing trip to Sandals Royal Barbados

Oct 14, 2025 Jonathan S

Always have a great time at Sandals. This trip was by far one of our favorites. Our Butlers Krystle, Kemal and Annaleah were top shelf in making sure our every need was met and making us feel so relaxed.

Lovers weekend!
