Perfect resort to celebrate special occasions! ??

Adventure48896844214 (Charlotte, North Carolina) on Dec 20, 2025

After spending a lovely honeymoon at Sandals Grande St. Lucian in June 2019, my husband and I decided to try Sandals again and booked Royal Barbados for my 60th Milestone Birthday celebration. On 12/3/25, we arrived and were greeted by Ackhil, who is one of the most warm, caring, and professional representatives we’ve ever met from Sandals. ?? There was some liquid sunshine falling so Ackhil drove us to our room so we wouldn’t have to walk in the rain. On our way, Ackhil spotted a resort monkey which we appreciated him pointing out since the sighting was a fun and neat way to begin our Caribbean vacation. Ackhil’s title is Butler but based on how well he treated us, we consider Ackhil a Dear Friend, that we will one day visit with again! ?? Ackhil had already read the Butler preferences, included wishing me a Happy Birthday, knew what excursions we had planned, and outlined our dinner reservations with the times and restaurants we had requested. Ackhil provided us with a tour of our room, provided information about the Royal and adjoining Barbados resort, provided us with the Butler phone, popped the champagne and our vacation began with us knowing that everything was in place for an awesome birthday vacation. ???? If there’s a mentoring program that shows Butlers how to provide excellent customer service with a high level of professionalism, Ackhil would be amazing in that role!! Through the resort, we booked the Garrison Historical Sightseeing Tour for 12/4/25 and as a history buff, my husband enjoyed it immensely. On the ride there with James, he provided us with a wealth of information along with Peter being an extremely informative historian and guide during the actual tour. It was wonderful to understand the connection of George Washington to Barbados that we never learned in US history and to visit the George Washington House and grounds, along with seeing sites associated with the British military, seeing cannons at forts and the National Armory, and walking through the Garrison Tunnels. We’re keeping our eye out for Peter’s historical novel which will be amazing! Returning to the resort, we met and worked with Shae and she was very professional and met all our needs. And on the date of my birthday, because of Shae’s warm personality, she really made my special day fun! ?? We requested and Shae provided a front row spot on the beach and provided us with food and drinks, as requested. A special surprise was when she was joined by her ‘Beyonces’ and they sang Happy Birthday to me…that was so very sweet!??And, an even bigger surprise was waiting for us, returning to our room to Happy Birthday bed art and a drawn bath, which was a perfect relaxing transition from the beach birthday celebration…Nice Touch!! We also had the opportunity to work with Rashied who was very professional during our interactions and went above and beyond to ensure all of our needs were met. After returning from the 7-hour 4x4 Best of Barbados Jeep Experience, which was another amazing excursion that we booked through the resort, it was a lovely surprise to return to additional bed and towel art created by Rashied and Ackhil, along with a drawn bath…it really made us feel special!! ?? On our last resort day before heading out, we got to work with Rahyeme who was so very nice and professional. We requested and Rahyeme provided a front row spot on the beach and provided us cocktails. Rahyeme was so attentive and anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask, which was so very much appreciated! We stayed in Room 7106 Royal Seaside Crystal Lagoon Swim-up Room and each day, beverages and ice were always stocked. And I meant to note the name of the housekeeping staff listed being responsible for the room and I believe her name was listed as Octavia but I do apologize if I’m incorrect. Regardless, our room was expertly cleaned each day which was very much appreciated. The food was delicious at each restaurant and provided an enjoyable dining experience. We especially enjoyed beginning our morning at the American Tavern when Tony was there making the best made to order omelets, with so much happiness and a smile! And the ladies working the tables were so friendly and attentive which started your day on a happy note! All in all, we had an incredible vacation experience and enjoyed the resort entertainment…The Beach Party was our favorite!! It was really hard having to leave on 12/10/25 but having Shae say her goodbyes on our way to the lobby and having Ackhil and Rahyeme give us goodbye hugs on the bus before our departure, made it somewhat easier since we know we will see each of them again, when we return to Sandals Royal Barbados. THANKS AGAIN to our Top Notch Butler Team including Ackhil, Shae, Rashied, and Rahyeme, for making my 60th Milestone Birthday week, very memorable, amazing, and fun, for me and my husband!!! Until next time!!!?? If you have a special celebration in your life, I would highly recommend celebrating at Sandals Royal Barbados! ????

Wedding Experience Review: Sandals Royal Barbados (12/11–12/16) We stayed at Sandals Royal Barbados for our destination wedding with 13 guests. While individual staff members and the food were excellent, the overall experience was negatively impacted by repeated communication and coordination failures—especially concerning arrivals, transportation, and billing. Arrival & Transportation: Despite Sandals collecting all flight and room details months in advance—and managing both for our group—our entire party waited over an hour at the airport for resort transportation. One couple had their Friday flight canceled by Delta and moved to Thursday, yet Sandals never notified them. They only discovered the change when calling four days before arrival to confirm transportation. Sandals then informed them an additional $1,000 would be required for the unexpected extra night. We had to independently secure a hotel room at the Hilton to resolve this issue. A guest with butler service waited over an hour at the airport and another 1.5 hours in the lobby, missing the welcome cocktail and Oistins Street Festival we had booked. Another guest arriving the same day also missed the event due to excessive waiting. Additionally, we were over an hour late to Oistins because we were incorrectly told we had a private shuttle, when it was actually a shared, on-demand service. Wedding Day Coordination: Bridal and maid-of-honor makeup were scheduled at the same time with only one artist, causing unnecessary delays before our 3 PM ceremony—an avoidable planning failure. Military Discount Billing: Multiple guests booked using Sandals’ required ID.me military verification. The day before departure, we were unexpectedly charged $485, claiming military ID was not shown at check-in—despite no one requesting it. Even after providing verification through VA.gov, staff were reluctant to honor the discount, resulting in 1.5 hours spent at checkout resolving errors. Had our group been larger, this experience would have been unmanageable. Positives: Exceptional staff and consistently excellent food. Special recognition to Danica, Sade, Jamisha, Mikala, Kashira, Samantha, and Jack. Conclusion: Sandals Royal Barbados has strong frontline staff, but serious improvements are needed in corporate communication, group travel coordination, and wedding logistics. For a resort marketed as a luxury destination wedding venue, these failures were unacceptable.
