TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

We had the most amazing time at Sandals Royal Bahamian. So amazing that we were quite confused by some of the reviews we saw on tripadvisor before arriving. The staff were the absolute best thing about the resort. All were friendly, warm, welcoming and took care of anything we needed. We had fabulous butlers Cece, Tim and Eric who went above and beyond to accommodate us. We would definitely recommend them. We had a beautiful room in the Island Village with a pool and outdoor tub. The room was clean and well stocked with our requested items. We celebrated an anniversary which was honoured with decorations in our room. We highly recommend the Island Village if you prefer a quieter spot away from the main pool areas. With butler level, we had no problem getting pool or beach chairs and had food brought to us. The 'fun' pool was great, with good music and entertainment through the day. Derek, Keemo and team kept us entertained. The food was great particularly at Butch's and Kimonos, plus the food trucks were a nice touch. We also enjoyed the buffet breakfast at Kanoo. All in all, we would happily return and would definitely utilise the butler service again.

This is a beautiful resort and lot's of amenities. We had a room with a pool and butler service. Our butlers took extremely good care of us. The staff all around the resort was friendly, helpful and just wonderful to be around. This was our fifth time at a Sandals. We look forward to returning.

We had such a wonderful stay at Sandals Bahamas and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our trip. The all-inclusive experience was brilliant and made the whole holiday feel completely stress-free. From cocktails and snacks throughout the day to the variety of restaurants and dining options in the evening, there was always something delicious to enjoy. The resort itself is beautiful, with a lovely beach and relaxing atmosphere. We especially enjoyed spending time by the water and taking part in some of the excursions, which really added to the experience and allowed us to explore more of the island. The spa was another highlight of our stay — so peaceful and relaxing, and the perfect way to unwind while on holiday. We also really loved the evening entertainment. There was always something going on, creating such a fun atmosphere at night whilst still feeling relaxed and luxurious. One slight disappointment for us was that we were celebrating my husband’s 40th birthday during our stay and, despite this being noted, there was no special acknowledgment at all throughout the trip. We are sandals returning guests so would have expected a bit more. Considering the amount we spent, we did feel this was a little disappointing, as many luxury resorts tend to make small gestures for milestone celebrations. That said, it didn’t ruin our experience and we still had a lovely time overall, I should note this doesn’t fee like a luxury hotel, good standards but having travelled around the world this hotel wouldn’t fit into luxury hotels, but a good five star. Overall, the service, facilities, food, drinks, and atmosphere were all fantastic. Sandals really does make it easy to switch off, relax, and enjoy yourself from start to finish. We left feeling refreshed, happy!

Quite a small resort with limited food choices if like me you don’t eat fish or shellfish. As with all Sandals resorts there is a shortage of pool floats and the majority “held” by a few selfish guests who don’t like it when you borrow it. The butlers are up at the crack of dawn taking the loungers nearest the pool. On the up side, a lively resort, dive crew are great and very friendly and helpful.

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here, and had an amazing time. We stayed in the West Bay ocean view swimup butler suite. Our butlers were Johnny and Dominique. They made our time here so special. Our room was decorated several times throughout our week. We spent most days at the beach. They reserved our chairs and stocked our cooler with whatever we wanted. They brought us drinks throughout the day and lunch on the beach. There was always a snack and bottle of sparkling wine in the room when we came in for the afternoon. You will not go hungry here. All the food here was delicious. The resort is beautiful and the people here are so friendly. We enjoyed two days at the private island. It's a really cool bonus to the resort, and beautiful as well. I was nervous since our room was close to the West Bay "party pool" but the noise was never a problem. It was fun to be able to enjoy the pool entertainment from our swim up. We had room 1101 on the end closest to the beach. The best room number for this category in my opinion. All in all a wonderful experience. This is our third Sandals, and first time in the Bahamas. Would definitely recommend, and hope to come back.
