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

This property went beyond our expectations! This was our first stay at any Sandals. We had a five day stay. We decided we needed just to relax. We did just that. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The property and the rooms were kept immaculate. The choice of restaurants were excellent. The pool and beach were beautiful ❤️

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.

Had a great time. Staff everywhere & they all seem to work very hard at keeping Sandals beautiful & a happy experience for guests. I do however prefer smaller quieter resorts. Did not like that every lounge chair pool & beach have towels put on them to reserve them & for hours no people using them
Lots of cats & they apparently take care if them

The resort was excellent and our stay was very enjoyable. However because of the size of the resort, getting around was a challenge for me because I have a back injury. It would have been helpful to have access to a golf cart or a motorized wheelchair to get around.
