Beautiful hotel and staff
ELRowlands (Hinckley, United Kingdom) on Feb 16, 2025
The perfect January escape of UK weather We stayed in a Mediterranean club level walkout room the room was large with a great size bathroom and jacuzzi tub, extremely comfy bed (in love with the pillows) and everything you could need in a hotel room. The hotel grounds were immaculate and beautiful in any direction you looked. The food in the restaurants was lovely, Mario’s being one of our faves. The staff we encountered were all lovely and helpful, 2 that stood out for us was Oliver on the pool bar and Ted from the photography team he made an effort to have a conversation with us make suggestions and spoke to us about the local areas, he even remembered our names a few days later which we thought was a lovely touch. The entertainment team work hard and put on some great shows. The band they had in LDC? Were amazing. The beach is beautiful and plenty of chairs and parasols, the main pool area was also lovely and we never had an issue getting chairs. Overall an amazing week in a beautiful part of the world.

Jason was simply amazing and made the dinner quite enjoyable. We got to meet his future wife!!! The food was amazing and Jason's skills on the flattop were amazing. He had the table laughing and enjoying their meal. If we come back we will definitely ask to be seated in his section!!
Great Trip!!

This was my first Sandals vacation and is was absolutely the best. First, once we arrived at the airport and got our luggage, we headed to the Sandals desk to check-in, which was an easy process. The representative there was friendly, and we waited a few minutes before we got on the shuttle to head to the resort. Once at the resort, the front desk personnel was great. We were welcomed with a drink and while our room was getting ready since we arrived early, we to grab some lunch at one of the restaurants (very good I might add). After that, we came back and our room was ready. We stayed at Club Sandals, and the room was nice and clean. She gave us a tour of everything in the room, and made sure we had everything. I wish I remembered her name, but she was very pleasant. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the shower had a nice rainfall showerhead. The resort itself was beautiful and well maintained. The pool was relaxing and the staff at the swim-up bar was very attentive. There were activities at the pool, and music was played throughout. The beach was nice too. They do have vendors on the beach selling items, but everyone was friendly. The water was clear and relaxing, although there was alot of seaweed. But, that didn't stop anything. There is room on the resort to relax and hang-out or just sit on the balcony/patio in your room. We went to most of the restaurants except for a few, and all the food the great. The breakfast buffet at Bayside was excellent, and we had dinner there. Mario's, which serves Italian, was very good and was recommended a bottle of wine; Barefoot by the Sea had great food and atmosphere near the beach; and Bella Napoli had some great pizza. Staying at Club Sandals, you get to enjoy snacks and drinks anytime. The entertainment was great as well especially the all-white party and silent disco. Everyone had a great time and the DJs played some good music. The fire dancers were also excellent. They kept everyone engaged, and a few in the crowd got to participate. They also have photographers taking picture, where you can purchase in the photo shop. One of the photographers (I know his name starts with Sha...sorry for the rest), was very friendly and personable. Hope to see him next time I'm there. Overall, this was a fantastic trip to Sandals Antigua. The people here were amazing and made sure we had what we needed. Next time, I'll remember some names because they truly made this trip very relaxing and enjoyable. I will definitely return soon!
Fantastic stay at Sandals Antigua

The Island is absolutely gorgeous and it is a close stay to the airport. The rooms were a little dated compared to others sandals but the landscape and beach make up for it. 95% of the staff was amazing at all the restaurants and spa. The Bayside staff was not the most friendly or welcoming at first the night we arrived from our flight but as the week went on it did improve. However, the staff at Eleanor’s was above and beyond kind and accommodating. They made my Birthday extra special. Cathy, Cheressa, and Violet were the absolute joy of our stay. Chad our server at Kimonos was awesome and fun. Oliver, Kimroy, and She Diamond were the best bartenders ever. Latisha also went above and beyond helping us book our next stay and also had a staff team bring me a birthday dessert treat at lunchtime and sand to me. Andrea did my 90 minute massage and was truly one of the best massages I ever had in my life. She was awesome. Last but not least, the snap shotz photographers are full of talent. Although sometimes a little too pushy trying to get pictures when we want to relax, the photos that they did take were fantastic. Delmore was our absolute favorite and most talented photographer and Omega also did a fantastic job with our sunset pictures. We were very pleased. Jose and Ted were also fun to talk to from snap shots. Highly recommend staying in gorgeous Sandals Antigua. Deserves a 4.5 Star rating but wouldn’t let me do that. We would come again.
Perfect for an anniversary celebration

We chose Sandals Antigua for our delayed 40th Wedding Anniversary, it could not have been better, our butlers Neil, Karen and on occasion Marvin went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable, even making sure our restaurants were booked and sun beds ready for our arrival on the beach, also Wettney in the Italian restaurant was so wonderful when we ate here. We had a romantic beach dinner on our last day, which was the icing on the cake. The housekeeping staff ensured our room was beautifully clean with plenty of fresh towels provided. Many thanks to everyone at Sandals Antigua, we loved it.
