Sandals Barbados

My wife and I just returned from Sandals Barbados. The resort was very nice and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly for the most part and like I said food was excellent and servers great. The pools and areas were clean and well maintained and staff were always mantaining the areas. That being said our room was not to expectations. This is our fifth stay at a Sandals resort and this one did not live up to the standards of the other 4 resorts. The furniture, 2 chairs, were dirty and had water staines, as if they were left outside. The batheroom had mold around the tub where it was caulked and the spout for the tub was falling off. The lamps showed rust on them and the cabinet was broken on the end. We did issue a concern about the conditions and they fixed the tub spout but nothing else. We also had issues with the A/C, which they did fix, the TV would not always turn on. and to boot we found a cockroach in a coffee mug one morning! The sad part is no one came to talk to us about the room after we submitted the concerns, which is dissapointing. For a resort who prides themselves on luxury, our room was far from luxurious. We will probably go to another Sandals in the future but we will not tolerate those conditions again and will check the room upon entry more closely.

We stayed here for one week & had the best time. The island is beautiful & the weather great. The staff are helpful & friendly. The choice & quality of the food & drink is excellent. The resort & its amenities are clean & looked after. Looking forward to going back!

The vacation was fantastic. The location of the hotel was ideal. The beach was unfortunately a bit short for walking, but it was perfectly clean, white and fantastic for swimming. You can walk straight out of the hotel to the left towards the city center, where there are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. We chose the Beachfront Club Level Suite with Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub room. 4th floor with sea view and bathtub on the balcony. It was the right decision. The room was spacious, clean and the mattress was very good and the air conditioning really adjustable to our needs. The minibar was more like a maxibar with full facilities. We would like to mention Juwon, who made us feel very welcome and always had our favorite white wine in the fridge. The room cleaning was super good, towels and care products were always replaced reliably. And we were on the right side with Sandals Barbados. It was quiet there both on the beach and by the pools. The entertainment was more on the Sandals Royal side. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The hotel offers excursions - we booked a best of Barbados sightseeing tour (4 hours) where we were driven all over the island by a driver (just the two of us). He explained a lot and it was really nice. The gastronomy was absolutely unique. It was our first hotel where there was no buffet restaurant in the evening. The 11 restaurants at Sandals Barbados would have been a perfect choice, but as you can also use the 10 restaurants at the sister hotel Royal Barbados, it was really overwhelming. Fish restaurant, steak, Indian, French, Italian, Japanese, a British pub - it was fantastic. And delicious everywhere! We always found an ideal 3-course menu for us. Some of the restaurants are outdoors, others are indoors and air-conditioned. Of these, however, only the “Greenhouse” was actually a little too chilled for our liking. The dress code was wonderful for a vacation. Gentlemen could also go to dinner in shorts (but with closed shoes, which is not a problem). There was no big drama around Christmas or New Year's Eve (and therefore fortunately no dress code again), you could also go out to eat wherever you wanted on these days. Also worth mentioning are the pool bar and the bar in the Royal House of Sandals Barbados. High-quality spirits are used here. And Dwayne and Alicia mixed us really perfect cocktails in a super nice and competent way. No touristy standard mash, but at an international bartender level. Many thanks for that! What was also really great: there is a shelf with beach towels at every pool and on the beach. You can get as many as you need at any time and throw the used ones into the laundry boxes. Changing towels has never been so uncomplicated. The only problem was of course that the sun loungers were occupied from 6 a.m. and people didn't bother to get their towels back, even when it was raining. The bottom line was that we always found a lounger, but this permanent occupation was unpleasant. (And here we have to make a direct comparison with our last vacation in Cuba - there you were obliged to give up your sun lounger as soon as you planned to stay away from the beach or pool for a longer period of time. This meant that there were always plenty of sun loungers available at the pool and beach and you could find one anywhere, even if you got up late at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m.). The pools were always clean and there were various options, including really hot whirlpools.

Everyone and everything was absolutely amazing we went for our wedding test run( 4 days) stayed club level we were treated like royalty! We had an entire team of people who waited on us hand and foot! We were upgraded to room with swim out private pool! Beautiful rooms! Amazing staff , food and service! We have never stayed at a Sandals before ( and we travel ALOT) and said why have we never done this before! Can’t say enough about how amazing this resort is! Can’t wait to go back in 5 months! I will definitely choose Sandals over any other resort if given the choice! Very hospitable anything you can think of the were eager to offer you! Love love love this resort and our stay! I suggest the photo shoot amazing pix we bought all 45 of them!Staff treat us like family and everyone employed there goes out of their way to welcome you and greet you every time they see you! Very very appreciative of us for staying their! I have told everyone I know to stay at Sandals resorts! And posted it all over my social media accounts! Thank you for an amazing 4 days!

This was a vacation from hell. I’ve been to sandals resorts previously & always enjoyed myself. This sandals is different. We waited an entire hour to get our shuttle to the hotel which was 15 minutes away. After arriving we waited till almost 3 hours for our room to be ready. The room was ready almost 2 hours after check in time. The room we received was mediocre which I didn’t really care about at first because the resort looked beautiful. We left our stuff at the room and began to explore. The 5 days 4 nights I spent there were horrible. We had roaches all over room and ants in our bathroom. We lived with the bugs and just tried to enjoy ourselves. We didn’t receive one hot meal and the food was very unsanitary. My chicken was rare twice with lots of blood and my sister found fish skin in her Cesar salad. The staff is extremely rude and it’s very hard to get good service. I promise you save your money. I’ve had better experiences for a quarter of the price. Always not safe for LGBTQ. Find me on IG thats_angel_ I’ll tell you everything you need to know.
