Sandals Barbados All Inclusive - Couples Only

We returned home on 04/13 after 12 wonderful days in Barbados and are slowly getting used to cooking for ourselves again, not laying by the pool soaking up the sun, having a libation whenever we want and having an amazing property to explore. As promised before we left here is our review: Having both properties separated by just a service road is fantastic with all kinds of options for places to eat, pools to visit and grounds to roam. We were staying in the Beachfront Penthouse Club Level Suite (code OPT) room 1510 and the view was exactly as described. The room itself was a little dated with a tub/shower combination that IMHO needs to be changed to a walk in shower, but it certainly didn't affect our stay. Favorite restaurants were Greenhouse, Butch's Chophouse, Chi, Kimono's, Cafe de Paris and Heart & Sol. As other's have stated, staffing levels at some times were short, so we had to wait, but we were on vacation and the only appointment we had was with the pool, beach, or bed. Speaking of restaurants, I would like to give a shout out to some of the staff: Regina at La Parisienne, Mark and Tiana at Ch, Suzanne, Donique and Shanique M at Greenhouse, Amanda at Butch's Steak and Seafood, Patrice at Mariners/Dinos in the Calypso bar area and Alicia at the Calypso Bar. The Red Lane Spa set up at this property is fantastic with sauna, steam room and hot and cold plunge pools as well as all of the other amenities. And we had 2 wonderful massages from Shana and Jalisa. Our favorite excursion was the Lover's Rock Sunset Cruise and snorkeling. with beautiful views, great snorkeling and a great captain and crew. Speaking of snorkeling, there is free snorkeling Tuesday, Friday and Sunday if you are club level. Thanks Shanelle in the Club Sandals Lounge for all of your help with that as well as dining reservations. We were able to get chairs with umbrellas at the main oceanfront pool every day and no I didn't get up at 6:00 to save them. We went down about 7:30 for breakfast at Spices and grabbed some chairs, but saw chairs available as late as 10:00 on some days. We had a fantastic time and have been asking ourselves why we never tried this property before. Go and enjoy yourselves.

Truly the best resort! We have been to many all-inclusive hotels and this one takes the cake! The food is amazing, the pools are gorgeous, the beach is white sandy soft beaches, and the bars are great! It’s a huge resort and so many options! Dwayne at photos will also take the best photos of you!

Pros: 95 percent of the staff were lovely and a few maybe need a new job:) We avoided the ones who did... The food was amazing. The locals were friendly. 2 resorts in one but feels like one big resort with lots of options. cons : The restaurant system needs to work out the kinks of seating/reservations. When asking for a reservation they were sold out, but upon walking up they had tons of open seats. The beach is rough/red flag most of the time and couldn't get in past ankle deep. A local said this was typical and a calm sea there is unusual. We took a tour up the northwest side to get a calm beach. We love the water, so this was a huge decision for us to book somewhere else next time.
