I just returned from the Sandals in Bahamas. I arrived on Wednesday evening 12/11 and left Monday morning 12/16. Despite the Expedia and Trip Advisor reviews, I still decided to take a chance on this resort, as I’ve always wanted to stay at a Sandals. First off, the private island was the main reason I booked this hotel and it was closed the entire time. This was extremely disheartening. The smell on the 5th floor hallway in the East Bay building was gut wrenching. I took the stairs a few times and saw several (15 to 20) room service plates/trays stacked. This could be causing the cockroach issue. Yes - I saw cockroaches in the Queens Pearl Bar/Restaurant. In addition, pools and jacuzzis were cold and game room was super hot. Overall, my first Sandals experience was disappointing and not what I anticipated to say the least.

The property is close to the airport and the beach and property itself was nice. The major con of this resort is how it is managed and the customer service. We were only there for 3 nights and could not get reservations at the restaurants The check in process was extremely slow. Service at the restaurants and in general was sub par. As a small example, the water in our room was not restocked and I had to call 4 times before someone brought water. The best run operation at the resort was the food trucks. They were fast, friendly and offered great customer service. Other than the food trucks, service was extremely slow and the staff seemed extremely unhappy.

I am usually not one to write a review, but I felt it necessary to take the time in this case. I am well traveled and have been to dozens of all inclusive in a variety of countries. While this resort was clean, the transportation to the resort was seamless, the "service" was terrible. I can understand "island time" and I was never in a rush whatsoever, but when it takes 30-45 min for someone to acknowledge and seat you in a half empty restaurant there is a problem. This happened 2 of 3 evenings, and 2 of 3 lunch times. When you ask the concierge face to face for a bottle of white wine for the room and they say not a problem every single time and it never shows up ever, there is an issue. The Beach = was full of seaweed The Entertainment = Was the worst I've ever experienced at a resort. The Service: Was worst I ever experienced at a resort. The Drinks: Were good, and not watered down. So that was a positive. For roughly $1200.00 CAN / Night I expected more from this resort that's for sure. I am glad we were only stuck there for 3 nights and not a week.

We did enjoy the deep pools, poolside cocktails, beach swimming, spa, seafood and steak, the view, transfer to/from airport and the staff members were friendly, sometimes crossing the line. The property felt like it needed updating. Hot tubs differed in temperatures, the quiet pool was cold and not enough side tables for drinks. Elevator electrical panels were open (West Side), some walls in restaurants needed cleaning, and there was chipped table wear including milk jugs etc. and we got a cracked poolside table. Our room needed a proper clean. Considerable hair on the floor, bathrobe and in the bedding (the bedding was clean). One of the towels had a hole in it. Stains on the kitchen walls and floor. Broken kettle. We had a young cockroach visit the bathroom. Another visit from an insect in a restaurant cooking space. At one restaurant we had to move tables because I was being dripped on and we discovered a large hole in the extractor fan. Other issues included being locked out of my room for 10 minutes because the batteries had failed and identifying a safety issue (raised with management and then immediately delegated) which the staff member failed to rectify so I removed the safety issue from the outside shower. The Butler Service was disappointing. It was rare to get exactly what we ordered without an issue. The pre arrival survey was mostly ignored. Offered a free night with the condition of an NDA and not to post a review. We declined.

My husband and I spent 3 nights here in celebration of my 40th birthday. The grounds were lovely, as was our room. We had a wonderful view of the ocean! I also liked that everything on the resort was easily accessible. The AC unit was great and kept the room cool and comfortable. The mini bar included wine, soda, juice, water and tea/coffee. The bed was spacious and very comfortable. Upon entering our room, we noticed that we were only given 1 washcloth. We made multiple requests to the front desk but didn't receive additional washcloths until the following day. We encountered a few issues with the water in the room.It would shut off during our showers, especially during the morning hours. We also experienced some Wi-Fi connectivity issues which the staff was able to resolve in a day. I also had a small issue securing lounge chairs with umbrellas on the beach. It seemed as though all of the lounges with umbrellas were reserved for the guests with butler service. There should be more lounge chairs with umbrellas available for all guests. One of my favorite features was the food trucks, one of which had fresh cookies daily. I loved the oatmeal raisin ones! Overall, the staff was friendly, the food and drinks were good and we enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay here! My only complaint is that there aren’t enough seats around the pool area and if you do want chairs, you need to wake up very early to snag them before others start to save them for themselves for later. Everyone was super friendly, the food was delicious and very convenient. Beautiful place to stay with a lot of options!

Overall, the property was nice, and the rooms were excellent accommodations. However, the staff was really hit and miss. Some were fantastic, and some were terrible. The bartenders at the pool bars often ignored guest and you could wait for minutes to get any service at all. We were with a group and one afternoon went to an outdoor lunch spot....we moved a couple of tables together and they were extremely rude telling us to leave. The piano bar was fun.

Although it is an all inclusive resort make your reservations for dinner before arrival. We couldnt get into the best places upon arrival due to being booked solid. Room service was non existent for our room even though we was suppose to have it daily. We had to ask staff for towels daily. In a 4 night stay they never came in to even empty our garbage. Also if your not in a butler room get to the pool early because most chairs are reserved for butler room or higher guests. I can say the staff was helpful with directions etc during our stay. Had to call in room dining several times to get them to finally answer the phone and take our orders, then missed dinner items every time. Over all a less than grand adventure that we saved all year to enjoy.
