We booked what was supposed to be a special candlelight dinner for three people, only to be told we had to pay for four. That alone raised eyebrows, but we decided to proceed, expecting a premium experience. Unfortunately, what followed was nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. From the start, the service was subpar. There was only one server assigned to four tables, and she clearly had no assistance or sense of urgency. We waited over 2.5 hours for our main course, which at that point felt like an afterthought. We ultimately decided to leave and had to request that our desserts be packed to go—so much for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. To make matters worse, the entire area was infested with sand fleas, which made it impossible to sit comfortably. The staff seemed indifferent to our discomfort, and no proactive solutions were offered. Throughout our stay, the bartenders and hosts showed attitude and lacked basic courtesy. There was no warmth or hospitality, which you'd expect at a dinner advertised as a premium experience. A particularly unacceptable moment came from a photographer who called us “lame” simply because we declined—after being asked multiple times—to have our photo taken. That level of disrespect was not only uncalled for but extremely unprofessional. The final blow came days later when we discovered that the exact same meal we paid over $400 for was actually included at one of the all-inclusive restaurants on the property.

We loved the dining options, many choices and the food was incredible! Accommodations were great and the hotel staff were very friendly and willing to go the extra mile. We were very disappointed with all the solicitation on and off the beach. It was persistent and frankly annoying. Spa employees constantly tried to get us to go to the spa, which is not included in the “all-inclusive” and is very expensive. Solicitors on the beach try to sell everything and anything from clothing and hot sauce to excursions not sponsored by Sandals.

This property was amazing! Great beach with some vendors but the vendors left you alone if you were not interested. Beautiful grounds that were in the process of being renovated during the daytime hours. The noise was not excessive and did not bother us. If you are looking for an intimate space with fantastic food, staff, and entertainment…this place is for you. Everyone went above and beyond!

This was the first time to stay at Sandals resort but it was simply great holiday. Our room was in Caribbean pool side Delux room but unfortunately we were annoyed with the noise from generators. A lady in the reception kindly sorted out and re arranged to a seaside cottage room which was quieter and easy access to the beach. Beach was fantastic with clear and calm water. I enjoyed snorkelling every day so special thanks to water sports department guys. There were a lot of dining options and we enjoyed most of meal. Overall good hospitality especially thanks to Andrei at the reception and Sheneke of Eleanor’s restaurant.

First time staying at a Sandals resort. We stayed at Club level so we had a concierge. Helped A LOT. It was a nice resort however badly in need of renovations. Be prepared to walk. No golf carts driving you around. There was a mix of ages but when we went a lot of seniors. Prefer that to drunk college kids. The wi-fi was absolutely the worst I’ve ever encountered, barely worked. Now for the pros. The staff was all so kind and attentive. Really made sure you were happy. They have a nice courtyard type vibe. The main pool is big and most lively. There are other pools that are quiet. Pool and hot tubs are open 24/7 so that was a big plus. Food was good. I’ve seen bad reviews but I don’t know why. Better food than any other resorts I’ve been to. The dining I loved. It wasn’t packed and crazy EVER. Most restaurants you don’t need dinner reservations. You don’t need towel card. Take as you need. They don’t have a lot of beach chairs and butlers save seats for their guests which was annoying because it never seemed like the people used them. Beach was beautiful though. Water was nice. No seaweed. There are people that sell souvenirs on the beach but wasn’t too annoying. There is night entertainment as well. Bring bug spray mosquitoes at night will eat you alive. If you’re looking to relax this was perfect. Other than WiFi and the needed updates it was really nice. I would go again.

Antigua is undoubtedly a beautiful destination, but unfortunately, our experience at Sandals fell far short of expectations. Despite being marketed as a 5-star resort, it felt more like a 3-star experience from start to finish. The check-in process set the tone for our stay, and it was chaotic. Initially, we were given a room in a category we didn’t book. After raising the issue, we were moved to the correct category, but the room was extremely noisy, situated behind a restaurant. Only after two days of complaints were we moved to a quieter room with a sea view, which they claimed was an “upgrade.” However, this wasn’t an upgrade we requested; we simply wanted a quiet room in the category we had already paid for at $750 per night. Dining was another disappointment. On our first night at the Bayside restaurant, we waited 45 minutes to be seated and an additional 1 hour and 45 minutes for our main courses. Despite addressing our concerns with the Food & Beverage Manager and the General Manager, we never received an apology or any effort to rectify the situation. The food quality overall was incredibly poor, especially when compared to the amazing local cuisine we enjoyed at Antigua’s restaurants and even ingredients from local supermarkets. Sandals’ food was the worst we encountered during our trip, and on our final evening, we opted to dine outside the resort.
