Arrival and Initial Impressions We arrived at Sandals Barbados on September 16th for a 10-night stay. While the property is beautiful, our initial experience was a bit disappointing. Our rooms (3301-33-35) lacked basic amenities like robes and slippers, which we would expect from a five-star resort. Staff and Service The staff at Sandals Barbados is a mixed bag. Some team members have been incredibly helpful and friendly, while others have seemed disinterested or even ignorant. Unfortunately, service, particularly at the sports bar, has been a significant issue. On multiple occasions, guests have had to serve themselves due to a complete lack of bartenders. Dining and Amenities The resort offers a variety of dining options, though the beer selection could be improved. Stella is available at the Monkey Bar, and there are plenty of choices at the sports bar. However, as mentioned earlier, getting served can be a challenge. Room Conditions While our rooms are generally comfortable, they show signs of wear and tear. Room 3301, in particular, has peeling paint and bubbling wallpaper. The overall condition of the rooms falls short of the standards we expected from a Sandals resort. Entertainment and Other Highlights The entertainment options at Sandals Barbados have been enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed the show by Dale. However, the closure of the Teppanyaki restaurant was a disappointment. Overall Assessment So far, our stay at Sandals Barbados has been mixed. While the property is beautiful and offers a variety of amenities, the service issues and room conditions have been disappointing. We hope that the remaining eight nights will be better and that the resort can address these concerns.
