We fell in love with Barbados! The Sands Resort.

Lilli Mackay, Erin Orton, ON

The Sands Resort was amazing 5 stars all the way! The staff and management truly cared about us. They where helpful and efficient with our check in offering us rum punch to cool off! Our room was actually a condo! No disappointments! We received a complimentary bottle of champagne to go with our room decorations, to celebrate our Honeymoon. The salt water pool was wonderful. The beach was amazing! All beaches in Barbados are public. With locals selling their goods. The Water Front restaurant is a few steps from the beach! Some days where Al La Cart. And some says Buffett. Offering a good verity of food. The Noir restaurant was a nice elegant dinning experience. The bar accommodates people who
drink, and people who do not. Over all we where very impressed and well taken care of during our entire stay. [Details]

A Great Spot

We really enjoyed our time at The Sands. The location is good, the staff was very friendly, the beach was clean with enough lounge chairs and umbrellas, and the food was good. Our room was spacious, with a large balcony. We had no substantive issues, and we would definitely consider staying there again. [Details]

The weak points

The workout gym was a joke, no refrigerator at the bar. Beach should be clean every day for the price. Beer wasn't cold enough, but other than that it was a great relaxing week.

Sanitary measures

Very good. More strict than Canada
