Amazing place - already rebooked!

This is how all “All inclusive”’s should be!! Not only was everything included, premium spirits as well, but there was so much choice. 20 places to eat at meant in the week we were here we didn’t try all of them. Quiet and Lively areas to suit all tastes. Shame the sea was choppy all of our stay but it didn’t really spoil much. And the staff (all staff!) were just so friendly. Big converts to the Sandals concept.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Rooms and service mean we won't return

Property is nice but service is very hit and miss, rooms are tired and bed was extremely uncomfortable. We raised the bed issue as soon as we checked in and was promised a mattress topper that evening. Despite lots of promised and chasing, it eventually arrived on night 3 and didn't make much of a difference. Rooms are also very noisy from neighbours and outside as the bathrooms have vents you can't close - so enjoy the shows while in bed... We expected much more from a Sandals property and would not return.

- Airport pick up and Check in went well. - The food was excellent and restaurant staff was exceptional. - staff around the grounds were very pleasant and always said hello with a smile. - Upon arrival had to wait approx 1 hr for luggage to be brought to the room. - Housekeeping was an issue as 2 days clean towels were not provided by housekeeping and one day our room wasn’t cleaned at all and we had to call for someone to come up (6:30pm). - They weren’t enough towels at the pools or beach. Guests had to walk around the grounds to find towels.

The property was great. The wait staff were polite but some staff appeared somewhat bored and some staff were difficult to understand as they were mumbling. The housekeeping did a good job of cleaning the room but were not always consistent ie one day our room did not get cleaned until evening. Getting towels replaced automatically was an issue but housekeeping were willing to deliver towels upon request.

The resort is beautiful, the food is excellent & varied but the jewel in the crown is without a doubt the staff. Everybody is friendly beyond belief, helpful and just plain fun. Special mention needs to go to: Makayla of the donut shop with whom we had a wonderful chat sitting outside during a lull in business. Ryan, Ken and Tory at the dive shack who made my first dives after many years worry free. Maxwell of maintenance who dropped everything he was doing to help us with our room door that locked us out. Rhea of the Cafe de Paris who was a picture of efficiency, making crêpes, dispensing pastries, coffees & ice cream nonstop, always agreeable, never flustered. Thanks to all!

Liked: Cleanliness

Good beach and pools, but not much else.

This was not a luxury experience. Overall, quite poor value for money. Very nice grounds, pools and beach. The food was very mediocre, no great meals. The hotel infrastructure has no spare capacity--restaurants are full and you must reserve and sun chairs are impossible to find after 8am. The only point of the butler service is to help you reserve chairs early in the morning. Otherwise, I found my interactions with them kind of exhausting. The staff were generally nice and helpful, but it is a slower paced Caribbean vibe so be patient. I imagine they have a lot of turnover and have to train new staff every week.

Sandals Barbados offers just the amount of quiet needed for a relaxing vacation. The room was clean, but not spectacular in terms of pure extravagance (noisy ceiling fan, issues with daily towel replacement, showing a bit of wear) and fell short of what we experienced at the La Toc Sandals in St. Lucia. We loved the quiet of the European pool. Service was okay for the most part but again lacked the energy and attentiveness of a past Sandals trip. That being said, some individuals merit acknowledgement including the shuttle driver Courtney, the young lady who works the bar at the front entrance nightly, and Shamya, our fabulous waitress at the Greenhouse restaurant. Food from Butch's Chophouse, Kimonos, Bombay, Potofino's and The Greenhouse was excellent. The same cannot be said for Neptune's unfortunately, as it was just average. Overall, a fine relaxing vacation, but a bit short of our expectations for a five star resort.
