Sandals Grande Antigua
John R (Queens, New York) on Jul 19, 2024
This was our first visit to Sandals. We stayed in a Caribbean Honeymoon Seaside Butler Suite and accidentally booked the Garden View. We didn't realize it until we got to the room, which felt dark and gloomy. Be careful of the room description versus the picture of the room when booking; the website can be a bit misleading. The room bar was well stocked with our favorite liquors, and ice was refreshed daily. The Butlers added some very nice, romantic set-ups each evening in our rooms. However, some basic amenities needed to be added to the room, such as suitcase racks, towel racks, wet bathing suit racks, and umbrellas. The room's lack of amenities and gloomyness made it feel more like a bargain all-inclusive resort than a Sandals. The beach was beautiful, with clear water and plenty of watersport activities right on the beach, including excursion pickups. The beach vendors can be a bit much but are very polite and will engage in conversation or leave you alone, depending on your engagement with them. The food in the different restaurants was excellent and better than any other all-inclusive we've stayed in. The vibe and decor were beautiful, with many beachfront dining options. The restaurant hostesses and staff could have been more engaging and seemed uninterested, and often didn't look up or make eye contact with us when greeting or taking orders, which was a bit surprising. When resort staff did randomly engage us, we were delighted, only to realize later in the conversation that they were trying to sell us something like a spa experience or a photography session, which felt a little disappointing. The Butlers were the saving grace for getting a feel for Antiguan hospitality and easily saved our opinion of the experience. Without them, we'd not know how wonderful the people of the island are. The nightly entertainment was fun and relaxing, and the karaoke at The Drunken Duck Pub was a lot of fun, with staff interaction. Overall, we had a nice, romantic, relaxing trip and enjoyed our Sandals experience enough to book another at a different location next year. We gave our recommendation rating an "eight" because, while we would recommend staying here to our friends, we would have to provide them with a few "buts."
Don't waste your money on the Butler service here, it's a joke.

My wife and I were on our Honeymoon and decided to upgrade the last half of our trip to the Butler service in the Mediterranean hotel on the resort. We stayed in the Caribbean side, which is very outdated and needs to be updated badly. To be fair, our Caribbean room was in an awesome location, right near a pool and spa. We honestly had a great time up until the room shift (beach and water were beautiful). Our new room was also beautiful (and relatively updated), with a great view, but from the beginning it felt as if we had to make extra steps to work with our butler, not vice versa. IMO we spent more hours than we wanted, to make the room shift and we weren't able to meet with the Butler until mid-afternoon. When we finally met the Butler, we were immediately shut down on most of our requests or stated "we can't do that". For example- "we don't have reservations tonight, any chance to get us in at Eleanor's?" or "we'd like to stay in the pool as long as we can, any chance to bring us sushi from Soy as a snack prior to dinner? We know exactly what we want." Only help was from Tanya-Lee who went above and beyond. She was able to save our chair poolside with a cooler and bring us lunch but everything else we could have done ourselves via room service and didn't need the service. It seemed like a hassle to have the WhatsApp phone, especially because they don't answer texts. Everything revolving dinner during our Butler service was a disaster. Soy wait time was ridiculous both nights. Our butler never walked us to dinner to make sure we were set, nor did they ask for our first drinks as what we heard they did from other guests. I have seen this before at other locations (Jamaica South Coast) and even saw other Butler's do this at Grande Antigua. This is clearly not a consistent approach with training by Sandals nor from the Grande Antigua staff. At the resort, they have 3 locations that requires a reservation for dinners. We only were able to get into one. (Another reason as to WHY do the butlers exist if they can't get you into places or help you out) Our last night, we told our Butler what our plans were as we did the night before. We were really excited for our Kimono Restaurant reservation which was one of the 3 that you had to have a reservation. Our reservation was at 8pm. At 8:05 we still weren't seated, and all of a sudden the power went out. We were told after 15 minutes sitting in the dark that there was nothing they can do but to turn back on the power and that we will need to find another source for food that night. We raced to Mario's just to get in and get something to eat before everything shut down. Once again, we were on our own to try to make a wrong, right. There was no check-in by our butler, there was no assistance, no help, again what is the use of a butler if they aren't there to help. It's just a way for Sandals to make more money. Needless to say we were highly disappointed to end our stay this way. Before writing this, I wrote an email over to Sandals Customer Support with the hope of nothing else but acknowledgement to a service that needs to be fixed. I waited for a response in a reasonable time, all I got were marketing emails for our next stay. For a company that prides itself on hospitality this was far from a 5-star stay or 5 Star hotel. This is expensive and you promise a lot, do better.
