Could be so much better

66garyf (Croydon, United Kingdom) on May 18, 2024

We have not stayed at a Sandals Resort for nearly 20 years, the last one was in Jamaica so we thought we would give it a try and wished we hadn’t. We stayed in a Club Suite with a soak bath on the balcony and it had lovely views of the sea and pool. It was all inclusive and the package included Room service with restocked in room bar. The check in was quick and they took us to our room and showed us around the resort and it was nice, it was large and well set out. The resort is huge, it’s two separate hotels that have been joined together to create a very large resort. The location and beach are amazing and there are lots of large pool areas spread across the resort and over 20 restaurants. There are so many things that need to be improved at this resort. It’s far too big and they really need more staff. At the weekend it gets even busier and is full of very loud groups of Americans, they obviously come down for extended weekends. Sandals used to be a couples, five star holiday but it’s not anymore. The main improvement the hotel needs to do is employ more staff or take less guests, we had to wait sometimes nearly an hour for a table for dinner and you also have to queue and wait at breakfast and lunchtime. A lot of the restaurants are lovely and the food good but many are just average. When I questioned why we had to wait so long for a table when there were plenty free we were told they can only handle so many guests. I don’t expect to wait an hour for a table when it’s a five star resort. Even the bars need more staff, many have just one server and there are lots of people waiting, it just seems crazy. We had what was supposed to be premium spirits in our room but they put the cheapest spirits in the room, I didn’t even touch them. The worst thing about the holiday is the fact that in order to get a sun bed on the beach or round the pool you need to be up by 6am every morning. The first morning we got up at 7.30am and when we looked for a sun bed on the beach they had all gone, many reserved by The Butlers for their guests. It was crazy, we saw the Butlers at 6am every morning reserve many of the sun beds. We did manage to get a sun bed but it meant being on the beach before 6am every morning to reserve before the butlers. That does not make for a relaxing holiday. All in all, Barbados is amazing and the resort is great but I would not stay in a Sandals resort again, it seems to have gone downhill and when you pay as much as you do you expect so much more. Many of the things can be fixed by employing more staff and by stop reserving all the sun beds for the butler guest.

Stunning Sandals

Simon J (Swansea, United Kingdom) on May 17, 2024

We had a fantastic holiday at this hotel. We have been fortunate to visit some lovely hotels and this was up there with some of the best! An abundance of restaurants to choose from and the food was excellent wherever we ate. The best was Bombay and Butch’s which Melissa (Guest Relations) went out of her way to get us a reservation on our last night which put the icing on the cake. 95% of the staff were fantastic, but Melissa and Jack (Dubliner) in the Merry Monkey particularly stood out!! Diolch yn fawr! We don’t normally go back to the same place twice, but this is definitely back on our list?? Simon, Swansea
