The Sands Barbados

Returned home Saturday 15/6/2024 late evening from The Sands Resort Barbados, Room #64.

Doing laundry Sunday morning at home, 16/6/2024, I realized that several items of clothing were missing/stolen/taken by the employee who was assigned to take care of our room.

So....while at work employees see it fit to help themselves to property which is not their's.
Shameful dishonest employee!
Who ever you are, you must have desperately needed my items.

Beach is erroded, small, pictures are deceptive. Palm trees toppled over into the water.

Gastronomy highly satisfactory.
Drinks not top shelf liquor; local quality barely adequate tasting.

Bedroom in the Standard Room Category is upstairs, stairs are impractical and steep. Living area, kitchen, sliding door to pool/patio on the ground level. Access from the back #64, no A/C at main floor-humidity is thick; A/C upstairs bedroom is noisy and runs on...without disengaging when preset temperature is set...runs on, and impacts sleep.

Management requires greater readiness to assist, real lack compassion, and no empathy either. Check - in was self completed, staff were unhelpful and distracted with all matters personal & could care less to do their jobs!

Lovely, respectful, attentive, courteous staff. Excellent location, clean and well equipped room. [Details]

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]

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]

Great time at the Sands in Barbados. Weather was great and the people and staff were awesome. Great service, staff always went above and beyond to make you happy. [Details]
