The Sands Barbados

Am a repeat guest of the hotel. So that should show you they are consistent. Location is amazing. My room was great but I have seen that some rooms require some updating. I have ready different reviews of service here. I have to say that I am personally treated great. But I think you get what you give in these situations. If you go in expecting the worst or getting frustrated just speak up. If you don’t like your dinner table, ask to move. If you want a refill, ask. The beach and pool are well maintained, and I would recommend this hotel. The value for the price is right on point.

We were there October 5-12 From checking in all the way to checking out was topnotch .This place is a small resort. They have one bar and one buffet/ à la carte restaurant.That being said it was ample enough for us. As we spend our 53rs anniversary and they didn't disappoint. I only wish more people would tip for the service's.

My Honest Review of The Sands Hotel, Barbados First off, I’ll preface this by saying The Sands was not our original hotel of choice, we had a lot of issues with our travel agency prior to arrival. Once we realized we had no choice in the matter anymore, we were promised upgrades which we never got. Do not use air canada vacations ever! That said, here’s our true experience once we got here: Location & Atmosphere The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to get to St. Lawrence Cap, where you’ll find plenty of nightlife. On-site, they offer nightly entertainment which adds a nice touch. The pool is clean, the facilities are well maintained, and while the rooms are a bit dated, they’re still comfortable enough and clean! Food & Dining There is only one main restaurant on the resort, which alternates between buffet and à la carte service. To our surprise, the food was actually very good for an all-inclusive, we really have no complaints about the buffet. The resort also has a “fine dining” restaurant called Noir, but guests are only allowed one visit per week. Honestly, the food there was underwhelming. If the buffet had been average, we might have appreciated Noir more, but because the buffet was already so good, Noir felt like the same dishes simply plated differently. Service This is where we found the main drawback: service is slow. They do offer beach and poolside drink service, but it’s inconsistent, you can sometimes wait up to an hour before seeing a server, which often means you have to serve yourself. That being said, the staff themselves were always friendly, and several really stood out during our stay. Special thanks to Coefei (manager), Junior (supervisor), Adgio and Mario (bartenders), Amari, Davida, and Onisha (servers), Michael ( animator ) and Natasha and Aneisha (hostesses). Each of them went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their professionalism and kindness made a big difference in our experience. Overall The Sands is clean, well-located, has better-than-expected food, and a team of staff who truly care. The main issue is the slow service, but otherwise, it’s been a positive stay.

I had a great time at the sands celebrating an anniversary with my partner. We didn't stay too long, but the hotel and beach view were amazing. If you're looking for a relaxed vacation stay, I absolutely recommend this resort. It was our first resort stay and we'd definitely come back!
