This is our 5th stay at this resort and we like the Sandals experience. Being Sandals Select members we assumed we were getting an upgraded (we prefer the Mediterranean Side) but that was not the case, so we complained and was moved on the second day. Staff: Always do what they can to please you ..just ask. Special thanks to... More

Was there June 8th through the 15th. We were met at the entrance at once and offered a cool damp towel and champagne. After a brief overview we were told they were upgrading us to a nicer room, no charge! Are luggage was taken to the room, which was much larger than the one we booked and was just steps... More

Great experience, would recommend for couples! Watch out for airport scam. To start the review, I want to get out of the way what was the only complaint we had on the whole trip, and we will also be sharing this directly with the resort – it mostly had nothing to do with Sandals, but there is a connection, so...

Sandals isn't the cheapest place on the pocket book for many travelers. There are great perks associated with Sandals and many people mention those, I don't need to get into those. However I'd prefer to try another resort before returning to a Sandals. The food isn't 5 star by far, it ranges from cheap dinner to 3.5 star quality. I... More

I know some of these reviews are long. Hopefully this one boils down some of the important stuff into one you can read in just a few minutes. 1. There really is no need to get the bag guys to get your cases at the airport but if you've got a few spares bucks and heavy cases why not. 2.... More

We took this trip a while back in January of 2012 and I don't know why I have waited so long to review. We essentially went for a relaxing week and to play a little tennis and eat well and got all three wishes. The rooms was exactly what our agent had requested, we went for the older and more... More

My new husband and I are world travelers who enjoy making new memories and taking a gamble on new places. We ran across a commercial featuring the Sandals resorts so we decided to take a chance and book a destination WeddingMoon (wedding). We made it to Sandals Grande Antigua June 6, 2013 and were immediately spoiled. Our wedding coordinator Nasasha... More

My husband and I just returned from our Weddingmoon at Sandals Grande Antigua. It was an amazing experience. The wedding day, staff and everything having to do with the wedding was absolutely fabulous. Everyone made sure the day was perfect! I would highly recommend having a wedding at this resort. The resort itself is beautiful and for the most part... More
