I spent a lot of money to get here, and let me tell you It was by far the biggest mistake I made. This will be the first and last time I come to antigua. The staff was rude. As for the Wi-Fi. Good luck with that, you won't get any there. It was my first time going to Sandals, I thought I would have been in luxury, not even close. NEVER AGAIN. I can say about a handful were sweet. The food was horrible, And the staff for cleaning the rooms was horrendous. After experiencing this, I'm sticking from traveling to Cancun, Mexico. They are by far the most respectful to the touristsThey are by far the most respectful to the tourists. Visiting their country, visiting their country.

This was the second half of our trip to Antique and 1st time to Sandels. There’s many good and several not so good things. We booked a room in the Caribbean portion of hotel ( There’s 3 different parts on property, all connected) our room, building and walkout pool area was showing its age and wear. Most staff were friendly and welcoming. Beach is spectacular and beautiful. All and all not bad but not 5 star property. The street neighborhood around the properties are very rundown and the island is showing the economic impact of poor leadership.

I rated a 4 because of an experience at Eleanor’s restaurant which sticks in my mind and made us feel really bad when it happened. My husband and I had reservations for Eleanor’s on my birthday evening, we showed up well dressed and excited, the maitre D looked at us and said- we are closed. She looked at our startled and disappointed faces for about 15 to 20 secs before saying she was kidding. The restaurant could have sent over a cupcake with a candle to acknowledge my birthday. Nothing! This interaction leaves a really bad taste towards Sandals. I’m having second thoughts about our plans to book another Sandals for our December trip. This just sticks out for me and I can’t forget how I felt. Other waitresses and restaurants were excellent including the red lane spa.

Property needs updating, it is very worn and old. Bathroom in or room had calk filling scratches and holes in the toilet and tub had worn spots, tile grout was chipped and falling out. Service at restaurants was mediocre. The younger employees seemed to be in a bad mood and not wanting to work or be there. At breakfast I needed to ask for coffee two more times after asking for it when being seated. Waited over 20 minutes after main dish to be asked if we wanted desert. Now the good is the beaches are incredible and most employees were nice and polite. The location is one of the most stunningly beautiful places I have seen. Overall had a great time just needs a little fixing up of the facilities and a little motivation to get younger employees on board. Again overall wonderful

Its a Sandals, so GREAT (actually AMAZING) food. Many restaurant variations. Great pools. Nightly entertainment (some a little hokey, but expected). Staff will kiss your butt (you're paying for it, so enjoy it). Beach is "eh" especially because there are so many gorgeous beaches around Antigua. This is not one of them. Water is dead calm (no waves) so it stays cloudy, lots of seaweed. Only useful for wading out with a drink in your hand. Other than the not useful (for us) beach this place is great.
