Staying at Sandals in Barbados is getting 2 resorts for the price of one! I loved it! We had a swim up pool looking out to the infinity pool across the way. Every part of both resorts was breathtaking. The staff are slower because they are on island time and I understand that. We went with a group of 4 couples. The staff are nice and always greet you in passing. The island is stunning with so much to do…party all night or stay in your room. The ocean was right near our room. The food was good, my favorite was Chi Asian Fusion. The drinks were flowing and everyone seemed so happy and relaxed.I highly recommend this resort. The only reason I rated the room 4 stars is because of the humidity and damp smell. The locals said they’ve never had this much humidity before.

My husband and I just got back from here Staff are cold, rude and not very nice. They are very slow and trying to get any help is useless. The room decor was nice but the maid service was horrible. Our room was only cleaned twice in 5 days. Begged for towels and tissue repeatedly and it would take hours to receive. No type of entertainment on the resort. Checking in was a nightmare. Luggage was to be taken to our room and it wasn’t there when we finally got to the room. We waited about an our and then went back downstairs to check and as soon as the elevator opened on the first floor our luggage was sitting in the middle of the floor unattended. We were about to get our luggage when the guy walked up and we said this is our luggage why is it in the middle of the hallway. No explanation given. Resort is nice and food was good but slow in getting. Not worth money you pay. Purchaser beware!
