We traveled to Antigua for our first time in January 2012 for two weeks, however this was our second visit to a Sandals resort( our first was Sandals St Lucia in 2011). Although our flight was an hour late arriiving, we were met at the airport and shuttled to the resort within a hour (only a 15 minute mini bus... More

We just came back from our fantastic honeymoon and loved every second of it! I will start with an overview of the property. The grounds are beautiful. The Carribean side is lush and green and MUCH quieter. The Mediterranean (henceforth known as Med) side is much newer and beautiful, but more like a standard resort. We much preferred the Carrib...

We just returned from Antigua - this was our 8th Sandals vacation and the first to Antigua. A couple of years ago there were some negative reviews about service at the resort etc that kept us away. This has clearly changed, this is one of Sandals' best resorts from a location, ammenities and most important service perspective, The staff was... More

Can't wait to go back. Friendly staff, great food and service. Truly a 5 star resort. Can't wait for next year. If you like hotel style(Cancun) resorts stay in the Mediterranean side. If you like quiet Caribbean secluded rooms/cabins, stay in Caribbean side. I loved the Caribbean side as I really felt like I was in Paradise.

We just returned from a week in Sandals Grande Antigua and had a wonderful time. We were a group of 3 couples and had read many of the reviews prior to our trip. We had a concierge walkout that was poolside on the Caribbean Side. We were nervous about this; however, we found the older Caribbean side to be very... More

We stayed at the Sandals Grande Antigua for 7 nights and the resort was outstanding. This is our 3rd stay at a Sandals in the past 2 years and this was our favorite location so far. The pictures on the website cannot due this resort justice, it was even better than what we thought we were getting. We thought that... More

This was our second time we've been to a Sandals resort and it was great however we can't even compare it to Sandals Emerald Bay (which was amazing!). The grounds and gardens were magnificent and very well kept. We had booked one of the newly renovated concierge hibiscus rooms but were "upgraded" upon arrival to a room that was closer... More

We spent 7 nights at the Sandals resort in Antigua and it was fabulous. We stayed in concierge level suite. The room was beautiful, the people were pleasant and the food was good. The grounds were maintained on a daily basis and the resort is very clean. The pools and pool bars were a lot of fun during the day.... More

We stayed at the resort for 7 days, first week of April. Beautiful entrance and nice attention when we checked in. When we arrived, we were shown to our room on the Carib side. We were not pleased with the building, as it was older, was too near the service entrances for the resort and the bathroom was too small.... More

Stayed during Easter. All you can expect from a Sandals. The beaches in Antigua are public so when laying in front of the hotel be prepared for people selling tourist items, this will happen at any beach in Antigua. Food is excellent but at night there is not alot happening as you would find at another Sandals. The check in... More
