Sandals Grande Antigua

The resort was beautiful and lush. The ocean was AMAZING! Bluest water, clear, warm, and the sand was so soft and white. We had the BEST bartenders!!! Joy at the smaller swim up bar was fantastic, friendly, fun, & knowledgeable about things to do both on property and during carnival. She was sweet & always smiling. Sadona was fun and constantly running at the main swim up bar. She had great drink suggestions & was always happy. James at the Drunken Duck was great to talk too, always laughing and made the perfect drinks, even when we weren't sure what we wanted after a fun filled day. Hailey was our intern concierge and we loved her. She helped make reservations and was so sweet. However, our room left me unhappy overall. I went to the front desk twice to let them know there were issues, but nothing was done...we were just told "sorry". We were there for our friends wedding and our 20th wedding anniversary. The outlet in the bathroom did not work, so I could not dry or curl my hair in the bathroom where the only mirror was!! I had to use the outlet in the hallway. There was no full length mirror, only the bathroom vanity mirror which was high up...I'm 5'3". I was extremely upset, trying to get ready for the wedding...all while unable to fix my hair correctly or see what I looked like before the ceremony. The telephone didn't work, so we had to trek to the front desk anytime we needed something. Nothing was done to try to remedy or accommodate for the inconvenience. We paid A LOT of money for this trip and I would expect better! Also, we were asked if we were celebrating anything special both at online checkin and when we checked-in in person. We told them we were celebrating our 20 year anniversary and nothing special was done to acknowledge it. I would have thought for the money we paid...SOMETHING would have been done.

Our trip has been amazing for diving. Today I received a 90 min massage with Lisa and she was amazing! 10 stars if I can! Thank you Lisa. Our butlers Alex, Nkozi and Charmaine are the best butlers around. Made everything easy 10 stars!!! It’s been amazing here in sad to leave here.

The pictures and descriptions do not do this resort justice. Visiting during the “off season” may also have added to the experience. The dining options were diverse and the food was amazing. I may be biased but Soy was the star of the dining experience for both the atmosphere and the food. Be sure to ask about drink specials at each restaurant. On that note, the drink variety was on point, staff was friendly and accommodating and the rooms were well taken care of and attended to. This trip exceeded expectations and was worth every penny.

We spent our honeymoon at Sandals Antigua and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The resort itself is stunning! It has beautiful beaches, lush grounds, and a relaxing vibe that made it easy to unwind and enjoy every moment. A huge part of what made our stay so special was our incredible butler team: June, Corri, and Hunter. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and stress-free the entire trip. From setting up private beach spots to arranging dinner reservations and surprises in our suite, they truly made us feel like royalty. The food was also amazing! So many delicious options and something new to try every day. Whether it was breakfast by the beach or dinner at one of the many restaurants, everything was fresh and flavorful. We had the perfect mix of fun and relaxation such as snorkeling, lounging by the pool, sunset walks on the beach. Everything about our honeymoon at Sandals Antigua exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend! The Powers
