Sandals Royal Barbados

We had a lovely time at Sandals. The rooms are nice - though there was noise during our stay of construction right outside our room every morning. Our balcony and tub were very nice. Shower was amazing. The property is large but easy to navigate. The pools were nice. Hot tubs close a little early, but the rooftop one stays warm. Eating is a bit of a challenge. We never managed to get a reservation at any higher end restaurants. We would go to other restaurants and the wait was always over an hour. That part was exhausting. We stuck with the lesser food due to time and waiting. We did get a couples massage out in the garden which was nice as well, but the beeping of trucks coming and going was very loud. While we had a great time (Valentine's Day Weekend), we will not return as the challenges made the price seem not worth it.

We had the most amazing time! Stayed in a sky pool suite with an insanely gorgeous beach view. Sipping coffee at dawn, wading in our private pool was heaven. Our butlers were fantastic - shout out to De’Angelo, Bernard, and Shannakay. Everyone we encountered was very friendly with a smile and a hello. Good food and we loved trips to Saltys for Americanos & donuts! Though we like to try new places, it’s so tempting to just come back here and do it again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Went on honeymoon and our experience was more than we could imagine. Our every need was met, the food was incredible and it was a great base to explore the island. We just want to go back. Have dinner in the beach- what an experience! The room was clean always and the swim up pool was worth the money. We’re glad we didn’t have butler service as we felt it gave us a bit more freedom. But get to sunbeds quickly if you plan on getting a prime spot.

Enjoyed our 4th stay at Sandals Royal Barbados. Main problem for us, just too short. 7 Nights isn't enough. The St Lawrence building is a great location but until the renovation has some AC issues, the rooms though are gorgeous and we love the location by the pool, Heart & Soul for yogurt and a protein shake in the morning. Portofino's still does an incredible steak and it's always busy, no reservations but put your name in and relax at the bar. The reviews are mixed and I have no idea why. There's incredible options from bowling to diving and lots of different spots at the resort to enjoy yourselves. Chairs and towels.. at the pool, no idea why you would pay thousands to hit the Caribbean and not sit in the gardens or on the beach. The main pool is loud, busy and if you want to sit there it could be a challenge. Otherwise, there's lots of room and spots to enjoy.

Beautiful Resort with Minor Issues - First Visit to Sandals Royal Barbados My husband and I recently stayed at Sandals Royal Barbados for our first Sandals experience, and overall, we had a wonderful time. From the moment we checked in until departure, the service was excellent and the resort itself is absolutely stunning. The property is beautifully maintained with gorgeous grounds, excellent amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout our stay, which really enhanced our experience. However, there were a couple of issues worth noting. The phone in our room was not working for our entire stay, which made it difficult to contact the front desk or have means to communication (especially if we had an emergency) without leaving the room. For a resort of this caliber, having functioning in-room communication is important. Additionally, we were disappointed with the photography package. For the cost of the photos, we expected at least some basic editing, but the images we received appeared to have zero edits or retouching applied, which didn't seem to justify the price point. Despite these concerns, we still had a great experience overall. The beauty of the resort and the quality of service in most areas made for a memorable first visit to Sandals. With a few improvements in these areas, it would be absolutely perfect. Would we return? Yes, but we'd hope these issues are addressed for future guests.
