You cannot beat the sun and breezes at Sandals Royal Barbados. There were so many pools to choose from, each with a different vibe. My favorite was the main Infinity pool, where the dj was excellent. But I also loved the European pool for its peace and quiet. We stayed in a swim up room. Having our own private oasis was so relaxing. The room came with butler service. Our three butlers were “Jake,” Shameka, and Abigail. They took amazing care of us. Whenever we returned to our room after our pool time, there was a bubble bath drawn in our giant soaking tub, and a variety of snacks from around the resort. They checked in on us often and surprised us every day with fun things and friendly service. It really made the trip extra special. I especially loved that they reserved great spots for us poolside every day and stocked a cooler with our favorite drinks. No waiting in line for food either; they handled everything. When you get here, do not skip the pork belly from Butch’s or the pork and sweet potato from the Jerk Shack. The drinks here are so fire! My favorites have been the Hummingbird, a fruity and creamy tropical delight and the BBC (Bailey’s, banana, and chocolate). This entire stay has been so invigorating. Don’t hesitate to book.
Sandals dissapointed this time

The resort was massive, clean, and has very beautiful gardens. The staff overall were not friendly. It felt like we were bothering them when we asked for service. Food was average and the breakfast options were not great. Portifinos, Chi, and Butchs were the best, Merry Monkey, Lovers Lane, and Sky bar were good hangouts. The entertainment was little to none and not very good. This is unlike Sandals. The beach had awful seaweed and smell from it. They remove the seaweed daily but let it stack up for days before clearing it so the smell is awful. The water was not clear and usually no one in the water. We did like all the available seats at the beach and cover from the trees. Overall disappointed but again unlike Sandals.
Wonderful staff and support Teams.

Amazing experience in Barbados. The country and people are wonderful. The rooms and swim outs could use an upgrade
