Sandals Grande Antigua has steadily maintained its title as the Caribbean’s most romantic resort. The enchanting Rondovals with private plunge pools, the all-suite Oceanview Villages, and the ease of butler-included vacations make this resort the perfect getaway for honeymooners. Intimate accommodations paired with savory dining options, from the fiery island dishes of Eleanor’s and the stir-fry drama of Kimonos to the heartwarming Italian cuisine of Mario’s—all of this sets the tone for your vacation. Then there’s the views. From the bright and tropical main pool with a swim-up bar, to the alluring Dickenson Bay. Here, relaxation and exploration are the theme of your stay. On any given night, dine at one of the 11 restaurants or socialize at the bars and enjoy themed events. By day, dive into water sports, try exciting land sports, or go off-property to explore the best of Antigua.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This is our third trip to a Sandals resort and the only disappointing trip with Sandals.
The location is excellent and Dickenson Bay is very pretty with calm water and white sand. Facilities on the beach are very good and the local hawkers not in the least bit aggressive with Sandals guests. It’s very laid back.
The Caribbean side of the resort is very well landscaped and does not feel like a large resort at all. The Mediterranean side where the premium suites are is very built up and a different feel completely.
Restaurants at this Sandals are generally average or sometimes poor. Barefoot is not too bad and OK Coral very good, but the rest are not up to Sandals quality. Evening food at the ‘French’ Bayside restaurant is a pastiche of 70s French food and either badly cooked or just cheap ingredients. Mario’s is by far the worst meal we have eaten at Sandals where steak comes bland cooked to how the chef fancies it (always well done) and Italian favourites are nothing of the sort.
Bar drinks are mostly better than we have had at Sandals and with the exception of a Manhattan, all our cocktails were well done and close enough to us what we would expect. Pool drinks are low on alcohol but then most guests spend the day at the bar so hardly a surprise.
Scuba quality is OK for the Caribbean and like many Sandals does suffer from a large number of novice divers, so expect short dives because somebody in the group is low on air or cancelled dives as divers get freaked by even 4-6ft swell. I did see some monster lobster and an impressively enormous turtle. Dive leaders look after the group, they have great boats and rental equipment is decent quality if you need it. Dives are only booked 2 days in advance and COVID-19 has reduced boat capacity. They did put on extra boats some days and I only missed one dive due to capacity. 2 days were lost to a storm advisory, plus one due to a diver freaking out at the (actually pretty average) swell.
Communication of staff is often poor and they badly mismanaged a room swap due to broken AC. Stuff breaks so that was not the problem, but they botched the communication when we were tired from our flight. The manager offered us late checkout but then when the checkout letter arrived, they had forgotten.

We stayed in the Caribbean side with a walkout room near a pool and not far from the Caribbean pool. After a day or two of finding our way around, we realized that this location was central to most restaurants and activities. The weather was not cooperative and it rained a few times most days, but not to worry since we were either poolside or walking with our complimentary golf umbrella. Our room was always clean and amenities were replaced as needed. We had to call one night for some coffee packs for morning and they arrived amazingly fast. The refrigerator was always stocked with water, juice, soda and the local beers Wadadli and Carib. The activity staff at this resort were great, especially Shenika, always encouraging the guests to participate and making the games and activities fun. Our afternoon water volleyball games were something we looked forward to each day. Althea at the Caribbean swim up bar knew our favorites and was a pleasure to speak to each day.
We traveled with two other couples and getting a table for six at dinner was never a problem. We had good surf and turf at Barefoot on the Beach, and an excellent meal at Kimonos with our chef Jayson and servers Charlika and Erica. Breakfast at Marios and Bayside were both very good with plenty offered, we enjoyed fresh cooked omelets and eggs most days.
The grounds keepers were always out and busy trimming and cleaning up the property. The one downside was the smell from the daily fogging of the property, but we didn't have bug bites!!
We enjoyed a visit to the Red Lane spa and had nice massages, the facility was clean and the staff very welcoming.
Hats off to General Manager Matthew who we met at the returning guests dinner and saw him several times through the week around the property. There are a lot of good people working at Sandals Antigua.

This was our fourth visit to a Sandals resort together and the first to Antigua. The resort and the surrounding areas are beautiful and the island has to be one of the cleanest we have ever been to. There was only a short ride from the airport to the resort and check-in was quick and easy. Room was a typical Sandals room with a balcony looking out to the ocean. After settling in to our room, we noticed that the exhaust fans in both the bathroom and shower were not working. Waited several days and made two calls and a visit to the desk before they were repaired three days later. On our fourth evening at the resort, one of the bathroom sinks stopped draining. Called the front desk (who assured me that engineering would repair it) and we went to dinner and the nightly entertainment. Returned four hours later and the sink was still full of water. After another trip to the front desk, the sink was repaired. The room was well cleaned daily except that either you had lots of towels and washcloths but no hand towels or no hand towels or wash rags at all. The refrigerator was well stocked when we arrived, but after that, either we happened to see the staff with the beverage cart to get refills or we got them ourselves ( and I mean just water due to not being able to drink the tap water). There was liquor in the room, but the bottles were already opened when we arrived and had pouring spouts, so we did not drink any of it. We had an ant problem in the bathroom that the maid attempted to remedy, but her spray did not work (they were there when we left). We found that most of the bartenders and water sports staff were very friendly, but other staff would not engage in conversation or in several cases were just rude. Food was very good overall, but if the restaurant required a reservation, there were few to be had unless you wanted a 9pm spot. When we asked about this we were told that tables were kept open for couples with butler service and they were released if the couples did not show up 15 minutes after the reservation time. This was not the case as we found out multiple times when there were seven empty tables at the restaurant. The beach area was nice with multiple chairs and umbrellas there, but it is a public beach where you are constantly hounded by vendors trying to sell excursions, jewelry or clothing. At times the beach was very crowded due to the cruise ships bringing folks to the beaches. The main pool was clean and seemed well maintained, but spa personnel were constantly trying to sell massages. Entertainment was mostly non-existent even though the daily flyer listed activities all day. There were entertainment staff, who danced to music near a big speaker but all we saw at the main pool during an entire week was trivia one afternoon and water aerobics (15 minutes long). Nightly entertainment was usually a band and opportunities for dancing. Beach party was good with lots of food. Overall, we had a good time, but for us, this was a one and done resort.

- [ ] So, here we are on day 3 with no housekeeping service. Normally, this wouldn’t bother me, but we are now out of towels, because we’ve had to use the ones we have to keep the water from seeping through the doorway, (there was a tremendous rain storm), our room has sand on the floor, the pool is now an ugly shade of brown, and the hotel phone system is down. We booked a butler level room, and the butler isn’t answering the phone, there is no way to order food or ask where we can go to get food. When we did get ahold of the butler, he said he’d bring menus, towels, and coffee; the coffee arrived, but no towels or menus, and he didn’t speak to us.
I get that things are difficult during this rain storm, I really do, but i just expected more for $12000 per week, especially considering we were told they were at full staff with only 50% capacity. I really tried to do our part by ordering spa services, tipping over $100 when they had to deliver in the rain, buying things from the gift store instead of from outside vendors, and not asking for things I could do myself. We even had one of the butlers tells us, “oh, you’re going to be one of the easy guests”
This was not the experience we were hoping for, and we would definitely not recommend this property to anyone who is looking for good (not even great )service. What we experienced at their St Lucia property was 1000 times better than this, and we only had concierge level during that trip 8 weeks ago. Save your money, don’t go to Sandals Grand Antigua!
If you do choose to go, save yourself $223 and don’t get a massage! I purchased a deep tissue massage and it started out as a lotion rubbing session. When I asked for a little more pressure, she used her elbow directly on the top of my shoulder, held it there, then repeated the process 4 more times, each with more pressure until I said stop, then she moved to my arm, applied lotion, then went back to my shoulder with her elbow. From there she went to my calf, then my foot, then my hand, then back to my shoulder, spending about 60-90 seconds in each location. Needless to say, the bruise I ended up with on my right shoulder, was not what I had hoped for when I booked it.
Update: towels were just delivered in a garbage bag by a guy in a Lakers jersey, no mask, who said, “here’s your towels” and left. Nice...but hey, at least I can take a shower tomorrow and not have to dry off with a washcloth!
I do want to give kudos to Jason and Dillon. They did what they could to provide a meal to us after we waited 3 hours from the time we ordered to the time it arrived.
Update #2: housekeeping did arrive at 9pm to apologize for not servicing our room for 3 days and let us know they would be coming tomorrow (the day before we leave) to clean. They showed up at 8am on the last full day of our vacation, so we couldn’t sleep in, but our room is clean! We also received coffee packets for the coffee maker; however, they were too big and caused coffee to leak all over the floor. Thank goodness we had towels in the garbage bag so we could clean it up!

We had a great 2 week holiday from 30th December 2019 to 13th January 2020 at Sandals Grand Antigua. We stayed in a Sunset Bluff Honeymoon Club Room, which was clean and modern with a massive 4 poster bed and a fantastic walk in shower. The linens and towels were high quality and changed regularly, we had nightly turn down service and the used towels were changed again then as well as after the day clean. Our fridge and bar were topped up daily, as were the bathroom products. The little pool and hot tub just outside these rooms were great and we would use them in the afternoon after being at the beach all day. The beach was clean and there were lots of sunbeds and parasols, although the hotel was busy we still managed to get a bed without getting up at the crack of dawn. There are beach sellers but they are all polite and go past when you say no thanks. The food was really good and of a high quality and plentiful. We ate in all the restaurants with no problems. Drinks are top brands and plentiful with 95% of the staff being friendly and helpful, there were a couple of grumpy ones but hey that happens everywhere. We often had drinks at the Mediterranean pool bar in the afternoon which was great with the music and everyone having a good time. If you are looking for 5 star London hotel luxury this is not for you, but if you want sun, sea and relaxation in a fab atmosphere with quality food and drink then you won't be disappointed,

Some of the rooms are slightly rundown and need refurbishing, but the overall site and gardens are nice. The Caribbean end is quieter so if you prefer a more lively area go for the Mediterranean end There is a no Tipping policy which is good but does effect some of the staff and their attitudes. Some are friendly and can not do enough but with others it feels like everything is too much. There are 11 restaurants which are supposed to serve 5 star global food and they most definitely do not apart from Soy which serves Sushi and Nix and the Chefs George and Jessica are fantastic, we ate there every other night as the other restaurants served mediocre food at the best. The menus sound good but the food and presentation leaves a lot to be desired, plates and food cold and service tended to be very slow and rarely accompanied by a smile. The only other one we enjoyed and not for the food but for the experience was Kimonos though yet again the waitress was unfriendly and very slow to give us our drinks. Drinks at the bar are plentiful and good quality and James one of the bar staff was a definite asset. We were there for over a week before someone rang to ask if everything was alright, a little late I think. The room was cleaned daily but usually not till after 4pm and then the turn down service came at 6, hardly worth it! We had decided never to return to a Sandals but were visited by Sandy who appeared genuinely interested in our opinions and persuaded us to try Grenada so here we go.

We stayed 27th January to 10th February. Visited with my husband, 88 year old Dad (who had had a stroke at Christmas) & his wife. They stayed on 5th Floor Mediterranean side, we stayed In Caribbean side, room 502. This is NOT a 5 star resort! For the duration of our holiday, & long before by looking at previous reviews, there was only one lift working in my Dads block. for one day there was NO lift! Please see photo for remaining lift! The Manager, Matthew, assured my Dad someone was on their way from St Lucia to do repairs, what was his mode of transport? Never arrived. At night it is dark walking in the grounds as majority of lights have bulbs out - not great when someone is unsteady. Food was not mediocre. We had 3 meals at Eleanors and food was always barely warm. Some staff were lovely, some could barely smile. Furniture in rooms was worn & our rug was dirty. We had to be up by 6:30am to get sun-beds otherwise there was nothing left. Often rooms not made up until after 4pm & on occasion we had to beg for towels. We are Emerald guests. We were not even acknowledged as Returners. Loyalty blamed our travel agent for not attaching our Sandals reference number, they had! They then said they’d left a letter in our room on arrival stating that they thought we were Returners and to contact them - there was no letter. The hotel from the beach looks dilapidated, curtains tied up?! If I was the couple getting married on the beach on 10th February I would be devastated, pergola erected no more than 6 feet from the Beach Party being set up! Our daughter was married last January at Beaches Negril & it was heavenly. We are not complainers but this resort is very poor. Having read other reviews the response is just a standard reply. We have stayed at other Sandals/Beaches resorts, this is the only one we wouldn’t return to!

We are so glad we visited antigua for the second time this february. fantastic grounds. beautifully lush and workers are keeping it up each day. we love having a butler to book our dinners and saving our spot at the pool. after a couple of high energy days at the main pool we took in our last few days at the smaller pool. joy was our favorite bartender. everyone was friendly. we loved all our meals! no complaints. we enjoyed room service since the buffets weren’t at full capacity and you get a couple of different choices. I used my own sanitizer since they want you to use it when you enter any eating area and shops. going into town was a waste of time since it’s like a ghost town without cruise ships. we took advantage of the deal you get when you book your next sandals trip, so looking forward to grenada next year.

Sandals is know for an all inclusive but I would like to take a second to recognize that despite all the odds they remain open and still strive for excellence. @marco as the head of your food and service team you should recognize your top 10%. Kimonos and Soy are your two best restaurants. We had the pleasure of visiting Kimonos multiple times and both times we had Carrol as our server. She was fantastic! Before my wife’s drink was empty it was replaced. She explained the menu and chain of events throughly and was an absolute pleasure to be in her presence. Dipak was our first chief and his steak and finesse on the stove was fantastic. The last time we visited we had Jayson and he did a fantastic job with the chicken. Mario’s was also another surprise. Raquel was our server and she was extremely thoughtful and asked questions about what types of foods we enjoy and was able to make changes to allow for a better experience. Barefoot was also an enjoyable experience with Ken running the show. He was extremely pleasant and easy to work with. Elanaors has a food ceviche the only wish would be to have less fillers. Bayside has a great rotating daily menu and is always a surprise. Every night ends with the drunken duck where you have Mario, Andy, James and the team. These bartenders are fantastic they really do everything they can do to make customers happy. The entertainment team starts working a 12 hour shift every day from going from the pools to the wee hours in the morning trying to energize they resort. This team makes the vacation experience come to reality. The grounds are maintained meticulously in main areas and are a pleasure to walk during the days and evenings. For the travelers that are worried about the cleanliness of the resort I would say this. They truly live by their platinum cleaning procedures. Every restaurant and rooms follow their strict protocols. Antibacterial lotion is used on ever guest when you enter a restaurant.
Areas for improvement (non butler service) The in room bar should really have an order form. A lot of assumptions are made how to stock the fridge and it’s near impossible to get a replacement bottle of wine. Room service can take over an hour for a simple breakfast to come. For any traveler coming to this resort know that this beach is breathtaking. It also is a public beach. You will find plenty of vendors trying to make a living daily. If you are trying to make purchase make sure you bring cash with you prior to travel as their is no ATM on the property.

We are currently on holiday at the sandals all inclusive couples only Grande Antigua and it is just amazing in every way. We did have a couple of reservations after reading a couple of negative not so good reviews however it has definitely exceeded our expectations in every way please do yourself a favour and come here. I'll mention just a few points The staff are all so lovely - cant do enough for you and all acknowledge you when they see you we even had a phone call half way through our holiday just to check everything was ok and we also got asked on the beach to! And they bring you drinks to the beach which is an added bonus. The restaurants are all top class with again excellent service and they have a no tipping policy. The entertainment is very good with live bands etc bought in. The grounds are all lovely and very well kept. The beach is just perfect with a lovely see breeze with calm waters Were staying in the sunset bluff rooms of which are a lovely size with a good size balcony overlooking a pool and then the sea. Oh and the beach vendors are not a problem at all they are all very friendly and politely leave you alone if you dont want any man made hats or bracelets ...
The sun beds which have been mentioned in previous reviews really are not a problem, we did jot get up early at all and had no trouble getting a lounger with an umbrella on the beach or by the main pool.
We did a boat trip snorkelling with mystic cruises on the Caribbean side and it was amazing and a fun day and not too expensive, this can be booked either through sandals or o the beach with one of the reps based outside the hotel.
We also booked a taxi to take us up to shirley heights on sunday where they have a party with live music bands and overlooking nelson/(English) dockyard thsi had 5he most amazing view and incredible sunset, well worth the trip.
I could go on and on but I'll be here all day do we are very impressed and will definetely be recommending sandals and visiting other resorts in the future.

Sorry to be so late getting back to you! Yes, there were people running on the straighter paths, those closest to the water. Hope that helps, and again, sorry for the late response!
Yes. They have lots of amazing photographers there. Just speak to them and they will organise your own photographer and videographer. We saw a few weddings while we were there.
If you want really good traditional photography, I would recommend Delmore or Chevere. More fun, spontaneous and candid pictures I would suggest Ted or Jose. They have others but I have not met them to talk to.
To purchase the photos are $20 each but you can also buy packages which offer much better value for money. In reality, it likely still works out cheaper than a wedding photographer.
I hope this helps somewhat?

They run on 110 current which is typical US plugs so you’ll need an adapter if you’re heading from the UK. We didn’t watch tv really at all so I can’t comment but did make friends with some British folks who wanted to watch the rugby finals and weren’t able to…
