My wife and I had saved for this trip for nearly five years in hope that we could have the honey moon we never had. When we finally arrived at our room we noticed that there was a large construction project being performed less than 10 feet from our room. Men were working directly beneath are back balcony. We tried... More

I recently stayed at Sandals Antigua for my wedding moon. Our suite was nice although not always private since house keeping, bar service, pool maintenance and other staff always seemed to be there. Overall we found the staff very pleasant and the grounds were well maintained. There were some exceptions, but that is to be expected. The staff associated with... More

My husband and I just returned from 2 weeks at Sandals Antigua (4/4-4/19). So I will start at the top! This is going to be a long one. Airport: long lines at immigration, but otherwise it flowed nicely. We got our luggage and easily found the Sandals booth where we waited about 30 minutes to get a bus to the... More

Myself and my wife stayed at Sandals Antigua for a week and like many others were a bit sceptical due to the reviews we read. However, my fears were soon laid to rest when we arrived, as check in was first class. We were sat down, given cold flannels and a glass of sparkling wine each (They call it champagne... More

This is the third Sandals resort my husband & I have stayed in (After Jamaica & St Lucia) and we found that despite the building work at the far end of the resort and bad reviews read prior to our trip everything was fine. Yes, we got a room upgrade - no problem with that. (We were in the 600... More

Just come back from a brilliant holiday at Sandals reading previous reviews we were quite worried as to what we would find. I really don't know how anyone can complain about food there is so much choice and different restaurants to choose from and of good quality. I can see why people would have complained about noise from building work... More

We travelled to the Sandals resort in Antigua the week of 4/1/06. Upon pulling up to the resort by the dirty mini-bus that is provided we were already disappointed. Our greeting at the airport consisted of "you going to Sandals"? Get in line at the curb. Great, already friendliness is out the window. We checked in quickly and were upgraded... More

Just returned from a long weekend (5 days) at sandals in Antigua. My boyfriend and I greatly lowered our expectations due to all of the negative reviews on this site. Turns out there was no need to do so. The resort grounds, activites and services were all outstanding. The food wasn't the best but wasn't the worst and there are... More

Overall we had a good time at the resort, the hotel is spread over a lot of acreage and each of the main blocks has its own pool which meant that particularly in the morning you had the pool to yourself as most guests gravitated to the beach or the main pool area. Evening entertainment was good we liked the... More
