I'm truly sorry I didn't pay more attention to these reviews when my husband and I first booked our honeymoon back in January. Our actual trip was from April 7-13, 2012. I'm not going to rehash our almost week long trip because I will essentially be repeating what so many other unsatisfied guests have already mentioned, apparently for years. I... More

We stayed in Sandals Grande Antigua for five nights last month (March 8-12th). The trip was a surprise for my birthday March 10th. We booked the walk out beach front suite in the Caribbean Grove online, but when we arrived at the resort our room changed without authorization. Our room was “upgraded” to room 7029 on the 5th Floor of... More

We went a few months ago on a second honeymoon for a week. From the moment we arrived till we left we were treated well. We had a standard room (not a suite) in the Carribbean Grove. I think this is the old part of the resort and did look a bit tired but nevertheless lovely. If you can afford... More

My husband and I chose this gorgeous resort when deciding on our honeymoon spot. Our travel agent, Lisa Zwissler of Beach Bum Vacations, recommended several resorts, and we decided on Sandals Grande Antigua for its variety of restaurants and pools, amenities and proximity to the airport (about a 15 minute shuttle ride). We were not disappointed! This was our first... More

Just got back from our trip a week and half ago missing it already. This was our second time at Sandals Antigua, both times we stayed on the Mediterranian side with concierge service. Absolutely loved it again. Don't much care for the Carribean side of the resort found staff on the Carribean side not very friendly. However on the Mediterranian... More

Other than the always anticipated mess that is Air Canada, we had a terrific week in Antigua. OMG the ocean is like no other. This was our first Sandals experience and we were very happy with it. If you have complaints about this place you are too picky. The food was delish, most of the staff were nice, the room... More

Wanted to try a newer suite in the tower so booked the monte Carlo suite. Tower rooms way too much like a Hilton not the romantic setting expected at the Grande. Elevator issues one day had to use service elevator or stairs. Much prefer the suites on the older Caribbean side. Service- not enough staff to attend to a full... More

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...
