The hotel is so close to the beach, you can hear the waves when you are in the room or at the balcony which was huge. We were upgraded to a suite and that was just a wonderful surprise. The manager gave us a little tour around the grounds and already before we entered the room it was a fantastic... More

We stayed at The Sandpiper for 3 nights and were glad not to have stayed for longer. The hotel feels cramped and claustrophobic and the road noise is unacceptable. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite which was nice but bathroom a bit small. The area available for sunbathing is a bit of a joke - everyone crammed in like sardines.... More

Back again for the umph time and everything just that little bit better. There was even a great new female vocalist in the restaurant. Full marks to Wayne, Russell, Carlos, Henderson and the whole team. It was a pleasure as usual.

We revisited the restaurant at the Sandpiper after an earlier experience which was not good at all. What a difference. This time, as well as excellent food (a given) the service was immaculate and the atmosphere, helped by a brilliant singer and backing band, was fabulous. Couldn''t fault it at all. Everyone deserves a second chance and they will certainly... More

The sandpiper is a gorgeous small hotel in the best part of the island of Barbados. It is sophisticated, elegant, has an intimate feel and features great food, beach (albeit small) and large spacious rooms. The only two aspects of the sandpiper that deserve attention are the bathrooms and the service.. Which borders with impersonal. The bathrooms need a bit... More

We had 11 nights in the best room in the hotel, beachfront with a fabulous view of the bay and with sunbeds on decking overlooking the beach. We had a large king size bed suite, which was a genuine suite with a seperate 225 sq ft lounge and same size bedroom, plus kitchen, bathroom and seperate shower room. Whilst a... More

Well. I am surprising myself writing this. The Sandpiper - a hidden gem on Barbados. Have been to the island many many times we normally stay at the Sandy Lane last time was in November but sadly unless you are celebrity status you feel overlooked. So a change. Was recommended the Coral Reef Club but was fully booked and the... More

We have just returned from a week staying in a one bedroom suite and are a professional couple in our late 30s with no kids. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we could not fault it. Some of the positives for us: - Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean. Maid service each day and turn... More

This is the loveliest hotel. It is by no means a large hotel but that makes it even nicer. The staff are fantastic, obliging and friendly. The restaurant is extremely good, where BBQ evenings are fantastic and the buffet which happens once a week is very good with a wonderful choice of food. Every evening there is some kind of... More

We stayed for 3 nights at the Sandpiper on the way to Mustique. The rooms and suites are spread around the garden which would be worth a visit in its own right - a wonderful combination of architectural shapes and flowering shrubs and trees. Our suite was very spacious and included a fully equipped galley kitchen - useful for making... More
