This was our 7th visit to Sandals Barbados and it only gets better. I cannot understand any of the negative reviews of this fabulous resort. All the negative reviews about staff being unresponsive and rude can only in my view caused by the people being rude to them in the 1st place as we found them extremely friendly and caring. Sandals layer off neigh on 250 people in 2024 many of our friends included in them unfortunately, but still we had a fabulous 2 weeks there with having a special mention to friends we were reconnected with, these are Shanique from the Heart & Sol( although very briefly has she went on leave), Claire from her new job in banqueting, the bar staff in the courtyard bar, Jack in the merry monkey, Marlon who has gone from barman to supervisor, Eugine in Butches chop house bar. But our most thanks go to Gilbert & Elso the Sushi chefs in the Soy, they made the most delightful meals for us and the tasted divine. But our favourite has to be Sherwin the matre de of the Soy & Kamonoes, he has been our friend for many years and sadly is leaving this great resort and will be very sadly missed. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours and will be keeping in touch.
