The Sands Barbados All Inclusive

Our visit to the sands was for for 1wk after a cruise, our room was spacious with separate sitting area lounge/kitchen area all comfortable and clean , all toiletries provided and bath robes the beach was great with plenty of of sunbeds and the pool too. U had to queue for meals and provided times for lunch and dinner at breakfast time , sometime buffet or alacarte , also bbq most days , the noir restaurant was pre booked for 1 visit per wk all nice food and drinks provided , entertainment most nights outside only down side if it rained nowhere to shelter during meal times , we had lovely holiday and would recommend a visit

This was our first time staying in Barbados after our first week cruising. This hotel was exactly what we needed and the All inc was very good, quality food and good selection of drinks. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. Special mentions to Michael who worked tirelessly and always with a smile on his face 👌🏻 Bar staff too Antonio 🇧🇧 very helpful and fun. Another mention to Jacqueline who went out of her way to purchase me some IPAs 👌🏻🇧🇧 Beach not massive and had some seaweed but that can happen anywhere 🤔 Great base for anyone wanting to visit the south coast and St Lawrence Gap.

Fantastic stay ! The location, pool, beach access and staff have been fabulous. The only negative we had is that there is only one bar and quite a busy hotel. A lobby bar would have been perfect.

The location was perfect, not far from Bridgetown and St Lawrence Gap. Our stay was made even better by the staff. Kemar, Michael, Cyrelene, Antonio and David are just a few of the people who created a warm atmosphere. We loved our rooms and had a great night sleep. The food was lovely, there was something new every day. Overall, we had the best experience and will be coming back soon.

The hotel looks stunning and is in a beautiful setting. The beach is quite small so only a certain number of beds can be utilised. The rooms are large and comfortable but could do with a lick of paint. They have a sunbed policy unfortunately it is NOT enforced so it’s a free for all with people putting towels on beds at 6.30am and then sometimes being left for 5 hours before using them!! Others were reserving sun beds on the beach AND by the pool, so selfish!! The hotel should either enforce its policy or ensure there are enough beds & umbrellas for the number of guests staying. They also have a dining dress code but this again is not enforced so the main restaurant felt more like a cafeteria and not a fine dining experience, the food was also a bit hit & miss. The staff however are all really nice, polite & friendly. Kiara on reception was especially helpful and Onesha from the bar was a breath of fresh air so upbeat & happy. The rooftop Noir restaurant offers a more intimate and service focused experience. We would have dined there again (and paid) but no one could tell us when the menu changed or how much it would cost, very unfortunate as this could be another revenue stream. The sister hotel Mango Bay which is also a 4 star lived up to our expectations, with a better dining experience and a nice professional bar area.
