Love the atmosphere- relaxing, delicious food, friendly staff, super fine sand. Love being pampered! Been to three sandals and first time all guests in the group finished the yummy hibachi that Jason prepared for us!! Usually Kimonos in other sandals lack seasoning but jason did superbly! He's also very funny and all of us laughed! He deserves promotion! The only bad thing in sandals in antigua is the slow wifi!!

My husband and I just spent a week at the Sandals’s in Antigua celebrating our wedding anniversary. This was our first experience at a Sandals’s resort and we were thrilled with every aspect of the service and our trip! The resort, the lush grounds, and all staff from the moment we arrived could not have been more welcoming and beautiful. We had the butler service in a rondoval room with our own private pool just steps away from the beach! We were so happy, we booked the same room, same week next year! A special shout out to our magnificent butler’s; Kai, Karen and Neil. They could not have been more attentive to assuring every need was anticipated and delivered! I would highly recommend this property!! We can’t wait to return!!

Sandals Grande Antigua has been voted "The Caribbean's Most Romantic Resort" for the past 11 years in a row. It is a large, adults only, all-inclusive resort that sits on 27 beautiful acres. It is only 15 minutes from the airport. There is something for everyone with 21 room categories and a large number of restaurants & bars. They offer daily activities, nightly entertainment, themed nights and weekly events. I gave it a 4 out of 5 review because I really liked the resort but it just wasn't as nice as other Sandals properties I have stayed at based on what I was shown during my site inspection / Travel Agent Fam Trip

Review: We stayed at Sandals Grande Antigua from March 26 to April 2 in one of the butler-level Rondoval suites—our fifth Sandals trip, all in butler room categories. While we’ve enjoyed each resort for different reasons, this one stood out because of the incredible team who took care of us. The Room: I’ll be honest—compared to our stay in St. Lucia, the Rondoval we had in Antigua felt a bit dated. Since the room is a big part of my personal relaxation experience, that was hard to overlook. A renovation would make a world of difference, and when that happens, we’ll absolutely be back. Dining: Sushi was a consistent highlight as it always is at Sandals. Beyond that, though, we found the food fell short of the mark. Fish and chicken dishes were frequently dry or underseasoned, and as someone who knows better than to order steak at Sandals, I skipped that altogether. That said, the service at every restaurant was phenomenal—warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Butler Service: The true stars of this trip were our butlers, Karen and Neil. We were technically down one butler, but you’d never know it—these two didn’t miss a beat. They anticipated our needs, responded instantly to any request, and truly went above and beyond. Their positive energy and kindness made our trip, and we genuinely enjoyed chatting with both of them. Kai also stepped in seamlessly when she could and even checked in on us later—also amazing! Other Standout Staff: Special thanks to Joy and Marie Louise at the quiet pool, who brought such vibrant energy and warmth to our days. Great conversation and friendly faces made our pool time something to look forward to. Beach vs. Pool: The beach is beautiful, but the foot traffic from vendors and cruise ship guests wore on us after a few days. We ended up spending most of our time at the pools, which were peaceful and relaxing. Bottom Line: If you’re booking this resort—book butler service. It absolutely elevated the experience. Once the Rondovals are updated, we’ll be the first to return. Huge thanks again to Karen and Neil—you were hands-down the best we’ve had across five Sandals resorts.

You expect the clear blue water. You expect a nice resort atmosphere, right? Sandals Grande Antigua was so much more. The first person we met was Masadie, at the front desk, and she was over the top. Well she’s at the front desk, she’s the best there is, I’m thinking. Turns out she actually was our favorite, but there were so many more folks that are truly incredible. They remember you, they smile, they speak, and they want you to enjoy their island home. People make a difference, and they did that without question. We were part of a pretty large group of couples, and being from Louisiana, we may have been a handful at times… but these guys did great. This trip was a blast! We all did our research, floats, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. etc. all that helped, but BRING A YETI CUP! Travel to Sandals Antigua without worry folks! Hug Masadie for us! Eat, drink, and enjoy!
