Upon arrival the check-in was extremely slow. Since we booked through Expedia we were not treated as regular guest who book directly thru Sandals and yet we paid alot for our stay at Sandals Royal. We were not given the room I paid for. Which was a hideaway lagoon room away from pool view at the Royals side. Some of the restaurants the food was not what is expected from Sandals. The beach was very rough and not safe. We couldn’t do any of the water activities that were included. Overall not a great all inclusive experience. I will never stay at Sandals again anywhere else. Our experience at the Sandals in Jamaica was much better. Spend ur money somewhere else!!!

We had a wonderful time at Royal Sandals. The staff were friendly and so accommodating. The rooms were clean and on the club level the rooms are updated. The food was ok there is room for improvement in some of the restaurants. The pizza was good just wish they would have that station reopen for late night snacks. The resort grounds were beautifully managed, the only downside was they didn’t clean the beach area. It was full of sargassum. But other then that it is a beautiful resort

This was my first and last experience with Sandals. I've been to a few all inclusives and this one does not compare, unfortunately. It was not immersive to the culture. We could've stayed anywhere and not know we were in Barbados. Music on the property was country music. I can get that at home. Hours are limited, such as room service whereas all inclusives are usually 24/7 service. Service was also very very slooooow. Food was of good quality, but drinks were not well made and though they were friendly, you can tell the staff was unwilling and again, very slow. We knew once we sat down, it would be an hour before we got our food. There was no going the extra mile. Pastries were also very stale and not good. Property needs updating and for paying so much, inclusions should be more readily available. Seemed like a waste of money. Also, property is nothing like the pictures at all.

The accommodations were fantastic. Very clean, comfortable large size rooms. Staff were great everywhere throughout the resort. Loved the variety of restaurants and the food was so good. There was an unique signature cocktail at each restaurant at night which was very good too. Nightly entertainment gave us something to do to end the day. The onsite bowling lanes were fun too. Very happy we chose Royal Barbados.

We were put in quarintine for the first 3 days.Only because my husband decided not to have his body injected with a test cure for covid. We were not put in the room that we paid for. We were to have ocean/ pool view. We had a view of a hut. That's it. We had to order all food in and on most part it showed up very cold or very dried up. One day it was 9 hours before food even showed up. It was like we were being punshied for spending thousands of our hard earned money. What hurt most was have tracking devices put on us. We felt like criminals. We finally got moved to a ocean/ pool view on the night before we had to leave only because our air conditioner burn up in our room. They were going to charge us for that until I said I did'nt break the air conditioner. All in all we were very unsatified with the whole ordeal. The couples we brought with us weren't to happy about this either. This was our second trip to this resort. We bragged it up pretty good before we got there.
