This was our first Sandals and it won't be our last! We had an amazing time! We got engaged and the memories at Sandals Royal Barbados will stay with us forever. Hidie and Oishin at the swim up pool bar were so sweet. Hidie reached out to Kimono's on Tues, 1.21.2025, and asked them to send us over a congratulatory dessert due to our engagement. It was so kind and thoughtful of her. She was so pleasant to conversate with and we enjoyed her service and company. The grounds were beautifully manicured, everyone at the resort were so friendly and kind, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely on this trip. Thank Sandals Royal Barbados!

The suite was excellent. However, the pool outside of our swim-up suite was not the same as the photos. I highly believe the pool hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. We had a butler. He was helpful. The butler was just for experience, but we will not consider it again. The steakhouse restaurant was excellent from the service to the Surf & Turf. Unpleasant experience at the Asian Fusion restaurant. We were there at 8 pm, but we didn’t get to have our dinner until 9:45 pm! Of course, I notified the management! The beach was warm. It rained a little bit on our first day. My expectations were too high. We will be checking another Sandals location in the near future.

The place has some beautiful landscaping and a lot of walking. For the money it’s over priced. The diving not just bad (very ruff and/or low visibility) and over crowded. Equipment is poor quality. Other excursion was fun, but drive to and from the caves was 90 plus minutes.. The room was clean but always smelled strongly of disinfectant. The pool was fantastic; right out our back door. The food was good not great. Presentation was totally uninteresting. We had to send everything back one dinner. Be prepared for over cooked fish! Wait staff and concierge where excellent. Very helpful.

The facility was spotless. The staff was friendly and helpful. The airport is close. The beach is beautiful. It is wide and allows for a nice walk (which we did several times per day). There are many restaurants. We really enjoyed the French restaurant, the Italian and Japanese restaurants. The creperie was quite good. There are so many restaurants that we were unable to sample them all. There are free range chickens, cats and green monkeys wandering the resort. I love the cats. There are 2 spas on the property. The one we used was small but provided an excellent massage. The gym is roomy. It has a sufficient variety of machines and free weights to allow a good workout. Overall, this is my favorite Sandals resort so far.this was our second visit to this resort. We have been to 5 others.

This trip was our first to a sandals and probably the best vacation we’ve ever had. The beach was the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen. The staff at the resort were so friendly! The bartenders even shared a drink or two with us! The amount of pools was almost dizzying. They also had the largest hot tub I’ve ever seen. The property was always being maintained by groundskeepers every morning when we awoke. Food was abundant and delicious!
