The property was beautiful, and most of the time we were able to access everything.
7-night trip

10/10

This is how all “All inclusive”’s should be!! Not only was everything included, premium spirits as well, but there was so much choice. 20 places to eat at meant in the week we were here we didn’t try all of them. Quiet and Lively areas to suit all tastes. Shame the sea was choppy all of our stay but it didn’t really spoil much. And the staff (all staff!) were just so friendly. Big converts to the Sandals concept.

We loved the swim up rooms! The grounds were beautiful as well!

4/10

Property is nice but service is very hit and miss, rooms are tired and bed was extremely uncomfortable. We raised the bed issue as soon as we checked in and was promised a mattress topper that evening. Despite lots of promised and chasing, it eventually arrived on night 3 and didn't make much of a difference. Rooms are also very noisy from neighbours and outside as the bathrooms have vents you can't close - so enjoy the shows while in bed... We expected much more from a Sandals property and would not return.

The staff was friendly and reliable. I really appreciate Simone, Natasha, Patricia, James, Tunishia, and so many others were very helpful in showing us around and just making sure that we were accommodated during our stay.

Access to both resorts with a number of pools to choose from! Great night entertainment and warm staff like Krischan! I was very disappointed in a big resort having no coconut water readily available to guests in a tropical island. Overall experience was enjoyable

Loved it.
7-night trip

10/10

Our first time at a Sandals resort, and it was fabulous. Plenty of excellent restaurants to choose from for dining, multiple pools with plenty of sunbeds, and a lovely beach area. Jamisha from the wedding team was fantastic and made the whole process of a destination wedding very easy. Highly recommended.
14-night trip

10/10

Staff was amazing. Felt very safe and welcome. If I had a negative, it would be the on site shopping....would of like to of seen more variety of things to buy for children.
7-night trip

10/10

The staff is the most unique thing about this property. Second to them is the variety of amenities, you are never bored. Although the Spa is an additional cost, I recommend you try at least one service with them. We hope to go back some day.
5-night trip

8/10

Hotel is beautiful, staff is friendly (if you don't ask any questions), food is good. Service could be much better for the hotel of that level and price. Bar should have a little more choices.

All around very enjoyable experience, a great place to relax, and pleasant staff. Covid rules a little confusing
6-night trip

8/10

- Airport pick up and Check in went well. - The food was excellent and restaurant staff was exceptional. - staff around the grounds were very pleasant and always said hello with a smile. - Upon arrival had to wait approx 1 hr for luggage to be brought to the room. - Housekeeping was an issue as 2 days clean towels were not provided by housekeeping and one day our room wasn’t cleaned at all and we had to call for someone to come up (6:30pm). - They weren’t enough towels at the pools or beach. Guests had to walk around the grounds to find towels.
5-night trip

8/10

The property was great. The wait staff were polite but some staff appeared somewhat bored and some staff were difficult to understand as they were mumbling. The housekeeping did a good job of cleaning the room but were not always consistent ie one day our room did not get cleaned until evening. Getting towels replaced automatically was an issue but housekeeping were willing to deliver towels upon request.
7-night trip

8/10

Several things didn’t go as planned. The staff was rude a couple of times. The beverages were not always stocked. Had to hunt for outdoor towels almost every day.
5-night trip

10/10

The resort is beautiful, the food is excellent & varied but the jewel in the crown is without a doubt the staff. Everybody is friendly beyond belief, helpful and just plain fun. Special mention needs to go to: Makayla of the donut shop with whom we had a wonderful chat sitting outside during a lull in business. Ryan, Ken and Tory at the dive shack who made my first dives after many years worry free. Maxwell of maintenance who dropped everything he was doing to help us with our room door that locked us out. Rhea of the Cafe de Paris who was a picture of efficiency, making crêpes, dispensing pastries, coffees & ice cream nonstop, always agreeable, never flustered. Thanks to all!
7-night trip

6/10

This was not a luxury experience. Overall, quite poor value for money. Very nice grounds, pools and beach. The food was very mediocre, no great meals. The hotel infrastructure has no spare capacity--restaurants are full and you must reserve and sun chairs are impossible to find after 8am. The only point of the butler service is to help you reserve chairs early in the morning. Otherwise, I found my interactions with them kind of exhausting. The staff were generally nice and helpful, but it is a slower paced Caribbean vibe so be patient. I imagine they have a lot of turnover and have to train new staff every week.
3-night trip

8/10

Sandals Barbados offers just the amount of quiet needed for a relaxing vacation. The room was clean, but not spectacular in terms of pure extravagance (noisy ceiling fan, issues with daily towel replacement, showing a bit of wear) and fell short of what we experienced at the La Toc Sandals in St. Lucia. We loved the quiet of the European pool. Service was okay for the most part but again lacked the energy and attentiveness of a past Sandals trip. That being said, some individuals merit acknowledgement including the shuttle driver Courtney, the young lady who works the bar at the front entrance nightly, and Shamya, our fabulous waitress at the Greenhouse restaurant. Food from Butch's Chophouse, Kimonos, Bombay, Potofino's and The Greenhouse was excellent. The same cannot be said for Neptune's unfortunately, as it was just average. Overall, a fine relaxing vacation, but a bit short of our expectations for a five star resort.
7-night trip

4/10

This is my first time staying at a Sandals resort and visiting Barbados and it was disappointing. I do not think I would go back. I felt like it was a waste of money. The positive side is staff were very friendly except for one of the ladies working at the main pool bar. Overall I feel this was over advertised. They say there’s a lot of restaurants but not really. The good ones is only available for dinner. If you want to make reservations you have to go to the desk, which they leave so early. The breakfast is horrible. We ate once and never tried it again. Lunch there’s not many options open. As far as the liquor it felt like it was cut with water. You can drink all day and never feel drunk. Entertainment completely horrible. There’s barely anything to do. Especially at night. The beds are way too firm. I’ve stayed at lower scale resorts and had a wayyyy better experience. It’s also disappointing because this was the first vacation my boyfriend I took together and we honestly both felt like we wished we picked elsewhere. For my first time staying at a sandals I am really disappointed and don’t think I would be likely to book again.
4-night trip

6/10

This property is designed for an older crowd. 40 age group. The staff was just okay not terrible but not great. Butler service was pointless. Dinners close too early. For an all inclusive resort the room service is only available if you upgrade your room and even if you do the room service stops at 11 unless you have a butler room. God forbid you call and need water since they forgot to fill the complimentary mini fridge the entire stay. Food is a 10 though even though the Sushi place serve us raw chicken in our spring rolls. Bars try to close up hours before their scheduled time and make you feel as if you are disturbing them to ask for a drink. Couples massages were amazing. 1 out of 5 days the DJ at the main pool was on point. There’s not a lot of shows or activities. Like I said it’s designed for those who wake up at 7am on vacation and eat dinner at 5pm. No clubs or parties or entertainment on property. Pools are jacuzzis are 24 hours but they shut off all the lights and shut down all bars to deter you from going including underwater safety lights. Plenty of food options and walk up snack places. Pizza shop was amazing. Not somewhere we would return to but it’s a stamp in the passport.
