We had our honeymoon at sandals Barbados in 2021. Which we paid a lot of money for and have to confirm that even back then service was appalling and staff were of low moral and inefficient. Room service was well below that expected of a 4/5 star resort. We stumbled on your video when checking if things had improved and so glad you have made it public how bad it was. Just like you, we did complain and we gave up when they ignored us. So all potential holiday makes beware., Sandals should have fixed the issues over the last 3 years. It is the only holiday where we have had to make such complaints. We have loved all of our holidays over the years but this stuck out as being dissapointing.
@ Thank you for watching and adding your experience here. I am sure other viewers will find it useful to hear that it’s not just me who had found a poor experience at this resort.
We're planning a first-time Sandals holiday and couldn't decide between Royal Bahamian or Royals Barbados. But we picked up from various reviews that the staff at Barbados were less than friendly so, after seeing your Royal Bahamian video, opted for the Bahamas. The lack of watersports at Barbados would have ruined our holiday. Thank you such an honest review.
Thank you so much for watching! It sounds like you’ve done your homework, and I’m so glad my review could help you make an informed decision. The Royal Bahamian really stands out for its friendly staff and the variety of activities, so I wish you an amazing time there.
Hi Ken, I hope you get a chance to come back to Barbados and stay with another hotel. Sandals is overrated, and has been awful to the residents in their community. We in Barbados are experiencing high sea swells, especially on the West Coast, but its definitely affecting the South Coast too. I really do hope you can come back and have another stay.
these high seas swells, are they just in the winter months? We are looking at coming in July or August 2025???? can you tell me, if you know, what the weather, seas conditions are during the summer months???? I know the risk of hurricanes and will always travel with insurance, just in case......thank you so much, Rick
@Rick-ur7fe I think supposedly the seas should be calmest during the winter months, but you never know. According to people on Facebook group, they were still experiencing high sea swells, and on a relatively calmer day, the rescue boat was out of action, so there was still no water activities.
Is it going to be like with no water sports from the beach in July or August???? These are the months we are looking at AND only staying at the Barbados one, not the Royal, because of the cost....
Sandals Barbados is right next to Royal. Royal is just the newer side and they share the same beach. Honestly, having no water sports was the most disappointing aspect of our stay there.

If Jamaica is a possibility for you I would highly recommend Sandals Dunns River. I recently returned from there and had an amazing time !
Hi Ken. Thanks for the video. ❤
Thanks Pauline. Nice to hear from you.
Agree that cruises offer a better value. Thanks for today’s video.
Thanks for watching! Always great to hear from the channel viewers!

@@meliciapilgrim5802 Thank you for your suggestion, Melicia. If we get the chance to visit Barbados, we’ll make sure to select a different resort. 🙏
