Sandals Royal - Paradise Barbados - First Class

WorcesterJohn (WorcesterJohn) on Sep 22, 2024

I cannot wait to return! This hotel, its wonderful staff and facilities are just first class, I had reservations at first following some poor reviews, but I was blown away with this hotel. We were greeted at the airport, helped through passport control and luggage reclaim, then into our Rolls Rolls Royce to the hotel. We were greeted with a drink, and then taken by our butler to our room, The room was an MB1 suite and was perfect. We were looked after during our stay by three wonderful butlers, Melisa, Rachel & Aquila, and this team looked after all of our extra needs, reservations etc. We ate at various restaurants, including The Green House, La Parisienne, Schooners, Portofino's, Chi and Butch's Chop House, and could not find fault in any, but we did enjoy the Sunday roast in the British style pub, The Merry Monkey - definitely worth a visit. During the day we ate donuts or pastries and excellent coffee around the site. We used a cabana most days, which again was reserved by a butler, plus they came to us with a cooler box full of cold drinks and ice. There were plenty of sun beds and plentiful supply of fresh towels at each of the pools and some by the beach. I love the fact you can use all of the facilities of the two Sandals hotels next to each other. Please do try the excursions, The Rum tour were so interesting. We also had a fantastic massage at The Red Lane Spa, Thank you Mr Kahlon, Charles and all of the team at Sandals Royal Barbados, we cannot wait to return as you and the team made this one of the holidays of a life time.

Disappointing compared to other Sandals

Caleb H on Sep 21, 2024

My husband and I stayed at the Sandals Grande St Lucian for our honeymoon 8 years ago. We were so excited to stay at the Sandals Royal Barbados to celebrate our anniversary.  While the resort is beautiful, at this time, we won’t be planning a return trip. The issues that we experienced during our stay were really not up to the standard of “luxury-included” Sandals.  First, was our experience with our transfer from the airport and checking in. We stood in line standing outside for quite some time at the airport before being able to board our transfer. There wasn’t much communication about our luggage, but it was taken on a different vehicle to the resort. Once we got to the resort, we were taken to a nice area with lots of other people to be checked in. We waited and waited. Someone came around and took our name, but they didn’t seem very organized. We watched as they took lots of other couples to their rooms - even taking one couple to the wrong room and having to bring them back. After waiting about an hour, we checked with someone and they said they were still working on getting everyone’s rooms. Then, a while later, they started taking couples to their rooms that had gotten there much later than us (on the next bus). I had to talk to the leader 2 more times before someone finally, begrudgingly, took us to our room.  We asked where to eat. She told us a restaurant, but not where it was. We were really hungry from traveling and waiting. We walked all across the resort and finally found the restaurant.  It was closed for another hour. It was frustrating that she had told us somewhere that was closed. We finally found some food ourselves at the jerk chicken place.  Then, we went to find our luggage because it hadn’t been brought to our room. We were surprised, because at this point it had been a LONG time waiting to be checked in, etc. So we went up to the lobby and found our luggage sitting up there. We just took it to the room ourselves. I don’t know if it ever would’ve made it to us.  The whole check in process just started our stay on the wrong foot. So much different than the way we were treated at the Grande St. Lucian.  More restaurants than not did not have functional air conditioning. The hibachi restaurant was almost intolerable it was so hot and we ate at 8pm after dark. Another issue we had was concerning a taxi. We had booked a taxi to and from the fish fry in town through the excursions desk, as advised by the Sandals staff. The taxi was reserved for the wrong time and we had to call ourselves. Several other guests had this same issue and were very frustrated.  But as much as check in was an issue, check out was the straw that broke the camel’s back. We went to the lobby to check out and take our transfer back to the airport. She informed us of our charges to the room and the amount was incorrect. As she was listing out the room charges, there was a charge for over $400 from the spa. We never went to the spa, booked anything at the spa or contacted the spa in any way during our time at the resort or before our trip. I informed her of this and she called the spa. The spa insisted that we had booked an appt and no-showed. They repeated said we’d been “made aware of the policy.” The whole thing was just entirely untrue - we’d never booked anything. She had the manager come over and she called the spa. They just kept insisting that we were charged for a no show that was our fault. At this point, I was very frustrated and upset about these accusations. Finally, the manager took the charge off our account which was appreciated, but the whole ordeal was stressful. So we started our trip with stress and ended it that way too. It certainly didn’t feel like other 5 star resorts we’ve been to and at this time we would not recommend traveling there as for the price, there are other places with better service.
