Great time!

Amazing restaurants and beautiful grounds. Lots of pools to hang out in. The beach and sand are gorgeous. We had so much fun hanging out with our friends. Butch's is a fan favourite, and I highly recommend the Hibachi restaurant. Service is a little slow so you have to get on island time and go with the flow.

Beautiful rsirt

Very clean and staff was very accommodating. Food was excellent. Rooms were very clean. The grounds where kept clean. Very relaxing time. Lots of activities to do right at the resort. Beaches were very clean.

Amazing time!

The resort was awesome. We took lots of advantage of the rooftop pool and the food was incredible. Best resort I’ve ever been to, hands down. Staff was also unbelievably friendly - every single person was amazing. I was so impressed with how fun the week was, and how fun the wedding was, that I’m seriously considering doing my wedding as a destination wedding as well.

Fantastic resort

People are very friendly & out there to please you. Very clean resort Nice pools Nice & clean beaches Catamaran were in good shape & feel safe as the seadoo was ready to help you if needed. food & beverage were excellent

Great Resort

This was our third visit to Sandals Barbados .. food was excellent , service was excellent ... weather was fantastic.. and the grounds were great only positive impressions ... can’t wait to go again

Fantastic resort with a few nit-picks

What a beautiful resort overall! Probably one of the nicest places we've been when looking at grounds layout and food. Service was Caribbean-slow and check-in was delayed yet again like our last Sandals experience. Favourite places to eat and hang out were the Paris Cafe for coffee and snacks, Le Parisienne rooftop restaurant for dinner and Soy for fantastic Sushi. It was really nice to have access to everything on the Sandals Royal Barbados side of the resort. The only difference between [... read more] the two resorts are the rooms....everything else is shared. We enjoyed the pool on the Royal-side with the swim-up bar by the entertainment stage area. The beach was beautiful, but red-flags the whole day due to waves. Everyone raves about the Friday-night Oisten fish event in town, but we found it excessively expensive for what you get. Would go back for sure and highly recommend!

One of the best Sandals Resort we visited so far.

Exceeded our expectations. So much to see and do we may have to visit a second time. We really enjoyed walking through the pathways enjoying the view of the different varieties of flowers especially the Hibiscus. The staff members are friendly. The Ambassador in the Horticultural Department is very knowledgeable. We met a few of the Hotel Managers and they were never too busy to stop by and chat with us.

Fantastic Getaway

Hotel grounds, staff, food, weather was unbelievable. I highly recommend Buch's Steak house and seafood restaurant and the Indian restaurant. Great service. It was truly paradise. No complaints at all.

EXCELLENT RESORT

Myself and husband had a fantastic time in Sandals Barbados. Loved all the food especially Bombay and Chi and of course Café de Paris. Highly recommend a tour of the island. Will definitely return!!! Excursions included caves and critters, Carlise Beach, snorkeling with the turtles and all day tour of the island. Just awesome!!

Amazing

We had a fantastic time! Everything was amazing!!the only downside was the beach. We were disappointed with all the seaweed The service and food was great. The hotel was clean and the entertainment was fantastic. We will certainly return

Service Needs Improvement

The resort is beautiful. The food and drinks: perfect. Service was somewhat suspect. We failed to have our room cleaned two different days. The bartenders especially seemed to be so disengaged; none of them were interested in serving you. You pay a lot of money for Sandals, I expect the service to be second to none. This was our third Sandals visit, and most disappointing.

Loved Sandals Barbados!

Sandals Barbados was amazing! We absolutely loved everything about the resort. The food, location, beach, pools and rooms were all fantastic. We spent most of our days at the beach and a couple afternoons by the lagoon pool and the “quiet” pool. The main pool is really fun for activities and socializing but the other pools are where it’s at for relaxing! The grounds are pristine and beautiful vegetation all around the resort. Sandals did not disappoint us. We felt spoiled the entire trip!  [... read more]We also checked out the royals side which just opened recently and has a beautiful roof top pool and view of the resorts and ocean. The restaurant up there is also amazing for dinner! I could go on and on but we had a fantastic time and will definitely be going back some day!

Sandals Barbados - Beautiful slice of paradise

This resort has a lot to offer. The grounds are beautiful and well manacured. There are plenty of places to eat with a total of 17 restaurants on both sides of this cojoined Sandals resort property. The variety was outstanding with Butch's, Bombay, French, Italian and the Merry Monkey being our favorites. The rooms were well appointed with beautiful furnishings. Resort was very very clean and always impeccably presented. Overall, it is not an expansive property but has a lot of amenities  [... read more]the size. Everything is close at hand and has quite an intimate feeling to it. The staff are very friendly and attentive to your desires. Samara and Nicole were two of the servers in the restaurants that stood out to us. These ladies made our dining experiences even more enjoyable. The food and service were of high quality in the restaurants. Nikita in the loyalty lounge was a pleasure to deal with. Such a lovely person. Drinks were of high quality however service at the pool bars was slow and not many servers waiting on patrons in this area unless you had butler service. The beach had beautiful white, powdery sand but is not apt for those who like to take long walks on the beach. It is rather short being less than 1km to go from one end to the other. Unfortunatley during our stay there was a lot of seaweed in the water and on the beach which made normal beach activities less desirable. We were told that this was not the norm but was caused by annual events each year in April. Staff were working to clear it up towards the end of our stay but the ocean surf was relentless bringing more and more seaweed/grass in daily. Overall I would recommend this resort.

Your room key Says "Luxury Vacation" as simple as that!!

Everything about this resort is 6 star. The food quality and preparation is outstanding. The people are so accommodating, so pleasant and kind it is for me what really make the difference in any travel experience. The grounds are pristine and so clean. You couldn't find a cigarette but if you tried. You feel safe anytime of day or night and the security is in high visibility making the beach experience so much better as it is a public beach. (All Barbados beaches are public access beaches) The  [... read more]pools are very well kept and you see the staff constantly checking the water quality. There is a space for everyone whether you are looking for s sunny quiet spot by a pool and a more happening place by the infinity pool. Drinks are premium quality with several choices by brand. I don't think there is a bad room in the place and we stayed in the Crystal Lagoon 5th floor, great view and you can feed the sparrows right out of your hand....so cool. If your looking for clam water this might not be the place for you as it was very rough every day with strong winds but I guess that's just the Barbados climate. Lots of seaweed around but really didn't bother me....it is a beach after all:)

Super Resort

We spent a week at this resort April 15-22nd of 2018. We found the staff very accommodating and eager to help with any request asked of them. We dined at what we considered the best food of any resort we’ve ever stayed in. Every meal was well prepared and served with a friendly smiled and complete professionalism. The rooms were very clean and well taken care of by the house keeping staff and the bar fridge well stocked at all times. We even requested a different beer and wine and it was deliv [... read more]ered to our room within twenty minutes! The resort itself was well manicured and super clean and cared for. The grounds staff greeted all guests with a big hello and a good morning smile. Traveling with our agent Kim Hartlen was also a big plus as she was on the ready for any concerns we might have had. The beach was great but seaweed decided to roll in but we can’t control that. The rooftop lounge was very cool and the view was spectacular! I would highly recommend this wonderful place and plan on returning someday. Just a note, the local people of Barbados are very welcoming and kind to all of our group. Great job Kim, (Terry) and the staff at Sandlas Barbados. See you soon!!😁❤️

Holiday to Remember

Sandals Barbados, was the best holiday we have ever had! Though it was quite expensive, it was well worth the $. The grounds, the food, the pools THE BEACH! Totally amazing! Room 1512 was the best room in the place, and loved the tranquility tub! Recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing beautiful fun-filled vacation! Thx Jarius from Trip Central

Best of both resorts

My wife and I and another couple we traveled with stayed here for seven days. We chose to stay at this one and not the Royal because it was significantly cheaper. To our surprise the Royal is right next door so we could use all the amenities of the Royal too. Best of both resorts at our disposal. Nice. Big shout out to double d (darling Derika) at the front lobby. She’s awesome!!! Treated us like gold. The room was fine. Really how much time do you spend in there anyways? However, it w [... read more]as on the border of the two properties. Building 3. Very convenient to access both. The food was terrific at all the restaurants and buffets for that matter. If you go for any meal at the La Parisienne on the Royal side, be prepared to wait. They don’t have their act together yet. If you are a diver or snorkeler, then be prepared for the 30 minute bus ride to the harbour. Go on the orientation tour as there is a lot to cover over the two properties. Beach is nice. It was quite windy during our stay. We got to sail only once. Unfortunate. Had to speak to a manager about a server at La Paris coffee shop. Some more training in customer service was required. Another surprise was a 4 lane 10 pin bowling alley on the Royal. We tried it. It was fun. The butlers monopolized the better pools. We came at 6am to reserve chairs and most were already taken. There should be a limit on what they can take. There was some form of entertainment every night.

Nice but small

The hotel is nice but small the beach was great but the service was terrible pretty much all around . Had to wait everyda at least 10 to 15 minutes just to get a glass of water or coffee in the morning . Swim up bae is vee small and again 10 to 15 minutes to get a drink . I will not go back to this resort ever

Disappointing Honeymoon with Sandals

The resort was faxed our wedding invitation and acknowledged honeymoon specials we would receive while we were there. Once we got there we confirmed that they knew we were on our honeymoon and they advised there was a note on our room. Each day and night went by and there was zero acknowledgement of this. We did not receive any of the perks they said that we would not even the measly rose petals on our bed. Construction was going on every day at the Sandals Royal Barbados site right next doo [... read more]r which is right beside the main pool. All day you could hear drilling and other noises. There was always a 10 minute wait to get a drink at the pool bar The staff only walked around the pool to pick up empty glasses (and this was barely done) but never took drink orders. The staff did not seem interested in serving anyone, they were not overly friendly. Day time activities were sparse. The only thing they consistently did was pool volleyball. They advertised beach volleyball and texas horseshoes but when we went to go take part, it was never going on. The night time entertainment was terrible. The first night they had performers which were okay but the area they set it up in was very compact and crowded. Every other night they had a few people singing the same songs over and over again. One night it took 15 minutes to get through to room service. When we finally got through and ordered our food never showed up. Our Club Sandals advisors always seemed bothered when we attended to make a reservation or look for information. They advised they would help us book an excursion and when we went to do this, all they did was walk us over to Island Tours and left. One person even made a big deal about having to get change for American money that we used to pay the balance on our room, trying to insist that we just pay with a credit card as it would be easier. The food at each of the restaurants was great but at times, you were sat way past your reservation. The servers at the restaurants were professional. When we checked out of the resort, not one employee asked us our trip was. Overall we are extremely disappointed with our trip. Considering we spent four times the amount of money going to a Club Level Sandals 5 star resort than our last trip to Riu Palace in Mexico we would expect two times the quality and service. Unfortunately this was not the case. We would have been better off going back to Riu for our honeymoon as our experience at that resort was impeccable. I would never recommend this resort to anyone and doubt I would ever spend this kind of money again to attend a Sandals Resort.

Great Value

Many choices for places to eat with great food - mimosa and smoked salmon at breakfast, shrimp and large lobster tails at dinner and the best filet I've ever had! Top notch liquors throughout the resort. Service at Mariners Restaurant was slow and not terribly friendly. Bed was the most comfortable we've had in the Caribbean.
