Sandals Royal Bahamian

My friends/ Family and I had an AWESOME TIME at Sandals! The staff were so friendly from the moment we arrived. However the boat ride with I think his name was Bullet and the crew ( can’t remember all of their names) they made that little boat ride SO FUN! But the best part was at Sandals cay boy we had a time with the staff on the cay starting off with TASHA she was excellent with a bubbly personality she called me “cousin” all day lol and she made sure we were good. The bartender Kelson we called him “Spider Man” because how fast he made our drinks and Terran who we call t-pain because he love music and was singing all day I think it’s because sandals cay don’t have any music I think that would be nice if you add music over there, however he was also good with those drinks. If you want a good drink make sure ask for them! Sandals keep your crew they are GREAT they made our stay Wonderful! Claudine, Vernon, shakers, Esther, Amanda, tiram, Jamie, kayvari, Maria, baby k. I hope I list everyone on the sandals cay who made it great for us because of them we will Definitely be back!

Relaxing stay and Amazing private island. Check in was sloooow! Wouldn’t let us book restaurants there and then. Rooms are good/ok, clean and of good size. The private island was the highlight for me. Do get there early to beat the queues for the first boat! The hotel grounds and beach were lovely and well maintained. Breakfast was great. Good selection of hot and cold food and able to eat outside in one of the restaurants. Lunch was fresh/amazing, again great selection and yummy food. Food truck also great for cookies, crepes ,pastries, snacks, ice cream and more. Evening restaurants and meals were a struggle and disappointing. Ate at the Italian and the starters were great, anti pasta, bread, soup etc but main courses were loaded with garlick to the point it was inedible. Unless you order meat, Unfortunately, the food (pasta,gnocchi) served in the evening was often cold. French restaurant ok, but not very French. Being from the UK, the pub was again ok at best. Like the sunbeds, it Seems they block book many of the restaurant reservations for people with butlers service and don’t release them if not being used, so restaurants often very quiet despite being full!!! We stayed 5 nights and couldn’t get in two of the three restaurants you had to reserve!!! Other restaurants very busy after 6.30! Staff are mainly great, some a little slooooow! Pianist was amazing, other entertainment ok. Be ready to get up early for sun loungers! Despite Sandals being very proud of their wine selection/partner, If you drink rose wine, this isn’t included in the price. A few tweaks re restaurant reservations and quality of food and availability of sun loungers, would be 5star. A great time had by all, many thanks

The views are spectacular. The private island is nice. Swim up pool at our room was really nice. Staff are hit or miss. Some speak to you and inquire about your stay. Others are downright rude. One heavy set lady bartender at the coconut grove bar was so nasty it was unbelievable. She never gave eye contact when we tried to order nor did she ever smile. The butlers are mid. I honestly didn’t see the real value in them other than restocking our bottled water and escorting us to a supposedly reserved dinner in which we would tip them and then proceed to wait to be seated for long period of time while watching others go ahead of us. The only reservation we got right in was La Plume and it was delicious. Butch’s was the worst and I do not recommend. We waited 30 minutes to be seated after being escorted by butler then waited an hour in the freezing restaurant and still no dinner at 10:00 pm! At that point we were exhausted and asked our waiter Edwin to please wrap up our meals and we’d eat in our room. The meals then magically appeared once we asked for it to go. Terrible experience. Butch’s is definitely overrated and not worth the trouble at all. The food at the other restaurants were okay. Nothing to write home about. I think the fish tacos at the food truck was the highlight lol. Overall I enjoyed the beach and our swim up but Sandals Montego Bay is way better and staff much more friendlier. We will probably never return to Sandals Bahamas location.

This was our first Sandals resort. And we did get a butler quote which was definitely different for us. So we were not that familiar with all that they do. We had a 3 person team. Vadis, Darrion and Walden. Vadis was who we first met and he is so friendly and talkative. Gave us a great tour. And then helped us figure out how to go to downtown Nassau for our bites and sites tour. Darrion was so great at keeping our room stocked with my fiancé’s choice of Michelob Ultra. Which he seriously appreciates the fact they did that instead of requiring you to have Kalik or Sands. And for always setting us up for a cabana or spot by the pool. Walden we saw the least as he was our evening guy. And so sorry, we’re not used to having someone walk us to dinner. So we did take off a few times. But we appreciate the before dinner snacks. And for having something set up for after our engagement. It was very sweet. The food was good. Everyone has their own taste. I do recommend the servers at each restaurant to double check on their guests if they want dessert after dinner because most of the time we never saw the server again and we just had to ask whatever worker was walking by. Because for the price, I’m definitely taking advantage of an appetizer, entree and dessert. Personally, I was so happy with the bartenders at coconut grove and the one inside la plume. I can’t remember er her name at the coconut grove, but she is the life of the party. Dancing and having fun while making drinks. For making be the best Mocktails (im sure im one of the few who do ask for them) I am allergic to alcohol so I am absolutely thrilled they made me bomb mocktails. Most places just give you some sparkling water and a smidge of some flavor. And these had so much flavor. During our stay we had a lot of strong winds so we unfortunately weren’t able to visit the private island until our last day after our excursion on paradise island. So we only got a couple hours worth. But it is so serene. Thank you to the server at Aralia for still taking a to-go order for us even though they were closed already. And man, that chicken quesadilla was so delicious. And then we had a good time watching T-baby and some of the guest interact. So fun. Also shoutout to our drivers Markham and Ricardo! Both were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for telling us more about the island. The resort itself was so beautiful. Very clean. And overall all the workers seemed friendly and helpful. I love that they all just acknowledge you as you walk by and telling you good morning or whatever it is. We also had a great photo session with Kurt. It was pretty windy, but he still did his thing. And thankful he was able to catch our surprise engagement. Especially since my man didn’t tell him ahead of time. Thank you for taking the time to take a few more pictures for us. Which we did purchase! Overall, we loved our stay. And would definitely come back. Thank you again to everyone there.

The grounds were very beautiful and well kept. The food was pretty good in most of the restaurants. The alcohol was NOT top shelf. Most of it was either watered down or was low quality. We discovered that if you wanted any type of room service (a pot of coffee in the morning) and you didn't have butler service you either went without or you upgraded. The cost to upgrade was ridiculous. For our stay of 9 nights it would cost us an additional $2,000.00. I would discourage anyone from staying there without knowing everything about this resort. It's expensive and you don't get very much for it. Pretty disappointed.
