Sandals Royal Bahamian

My wife and I stayed at Sandals Royal Bahamian from July 31–Aug 4, 2025, for our honeymoon and our friends 20-year anniversary. We expected luxury, but instead we faced: – Room not stocked daily; had to call for towels and basics. – Old, uncomfortable bed with springs poking through. – “24-hour” room service actually ended at 10pm. – No butler service and unaccommodating staff. This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, but Sandals left us with regret instead of cherished memories.

We had an amazing stay at Sandals Royal Bahamian and can’t say enough good things about it! From the moment we arrived, Marcus, our driver from the airport, was so friendly and informative—he really set the tone for a wonderful trip. Our butlers, Andrae and Donard, were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond every day to make our stay relaxing, fun, and worry-free. We felt so taken care of the entire time. The food was fantastic! We loved Butch’s, Kimonos, and Tesoro, and the baby back ribs at Calico Café were great. When it was time to leave (and we truly didn’t want to!), Oswaldo was our driver back to the airport. He was so kind, thoughtful, and genuine—it was the perfect way to end our trip. We had such a great time that we’ve already booked our next trip back. Highly recommend Sandals Royal Bahamian for anyone looking for beautiful surroundings, good food, and incredible staff.

We had a couple of slight hiccups upon arrival, which were soon rectified by Tayana and Darrion our butler, who did not rest until we were 100% satisfied, they went over and above to make sure our stay was completely perfect. We wanted for nothing, from the perfectly positioned sun loungers every day, to the perfectly mixed never ending supply of drinks and cocktails all the staff were very friendly and obliging, the food was very good, especially Butch’s steakhouse, where we had some of the best steaks we have ever eaten. All in all an excellent holiday, right down to the trip to and from the airport in the beautiful Rolls Royce.

We chose Sandals Royal Bahamian as our honeymoon destination and had a wonderful experience thanks to the beautiful Bahamian scenery and the kindness of Sandals staff. We selected the butler level which was a great service for first timers at this resort as we didn’t have to lift a finger when it came to booking reservations or planning activities for the day and they helped us to take advantage of all amenities at the resort that we may not have known about otherwise. The highlight of our trip was the private island and we spent a lot of time bouncing between the party pool and resort beach. We highly recommend this resort for a fun and relaxing getaway. We also encountered many kind, friendly, and helpful staff members throughout our stay. Our butlers Eric, Tim, and Ashard did a wonderful job making our trip feel luxurious. Tim was an extraordinary butler, he went out of his way to greet us multiple times throughout his shift not only asking what we needed but brining us drinks and snacks without asking and always stocking our cooler with corona. He made suggestions on how to take full advantage of butler services and resort amenities like helping us to book excursions, navigate scheduling conflicts, and decorating our room to make the honeymoon feel special. Any time Tim saw us walking by he stopped by to chat, grabbed whatever we were carrying and completed our orders at the bar. Ashard was also so friendly and eager to help even when we decided to change our plans for the day last minute he was flexible and promptly rearranged our scheduled services. We enjoyed Ashards friendly and upbeat personality, he instantly brightened our days. As for the entertainment team, James was a great front man and always brought the fun at the party pool and evening shows. Kevin was full of life and always got the crowd dancing, Gio and Jamie were lots of fun was well. The couples game show and Junkanoo band were highlights of our stay along with the live band on Bahamian culture explosion day. One young gentleman at the aqua center took us out on a lovely private sail and taught us a lot about Bahamian lifestyle and culture. We greatly enjoyed working with Kirk throughout our stay for all our photography needs. We had lots of fun during our private photo session on the beach getting a mix of fun poses in the sand and more traditional poses with a beautiful backdrop. We ran into Kirk multiple times throughout our stay and he got a great variety of photos on the pool, on the beach, and around the resort. We also the had the pleasure of meeting Gary the bartended on the island who went out of his way to check in on us at our cabana and delivered his delicious signature cocktail, sky juice. Finally right down to our car ride back to the airport, our driver Oswaldo gave us a wonderful sendoff as he was kind, courteous, and a great driver. All around we encountered many great people that we will carry with us in our memories of the trip!

I attended sandals Royal Bahamian to celebrate my 35th Birthday, and I must say it was an amazing experience. I was greeted with such a warm welcome, a cocktail, and a birthday song. My room was spacious and very clean. The resort had everything I was looking for from top tire food, pools with swim up bars, live entertainment, and a gorgeous beach. But what stood out to me the most was the staff, in particular a young man named Kendrick! he was my Bellman at the resort. Not only did he assist with my bags he was so polite and enthusiastic. He answered all the questions I had about the resort and about the Bahamas in general. He was so kind and informative he made me feel at home. I've been to several other sandals and by far Sandals Royal Bahamian is the best because of their beautiful beach and their amazing staff like Kendrick.
