Sandy Lane Hotel

Went to Sandy Lane for afternoon tea as a treat. We had the classic tea but had pre tea cocktails, great choice and around $49 Barbadian each. Food was delicious - all fresh and beautifully presented. Jackie was our server and she was wonderful, attentive, knowledgeable about teas and the resort. Overall for 2 cocktails and 2 teas we paid $370 Barbadian but worth every penny for our Barbados treat

It lives up to all expectations! I had been staying at the nearby Royal Pavilion, but the hotel was awful, so I moved to Sandy Lane. I wish I had just come here to begin with. From start to finish the booking, checking in, holiday and vacating process was exceptional. They arrange a car to collect you. When you arrive you are greeted with a cocktail, a smile, a meet and greet with the team, including the general manager. Check in takes place in your room, and then you leave your bags and the team unpack for you. I was dubious about this part but they unpacked my rather chaotic suitcase better than I would have done. Everything hung immaculately, in colour order and in formal/casual order. The hotel and grounds are immaculate. Everyone is very friendly and the Manager / Assistant Managers are present walking around speaking to people, it is lovely to see them "on the ball" and with staff and guests. Room. Excellent. A tiny gripe would be the TV does not have many channels and it seemed impossible to stream from my phone/laptop even thought he feature is advertised. Bathroom. Magical Spa. Amazing. Make sure you use the Spa!!!! Pool. Devine. Beach. It is fantastic. Especially the watersports team who have years of experience and very helpful with all the free to use non motorised sports. Drinks. Expensive, as expected. But the best rum punch going! Food. Delicious and plentiful. You will not go hungry! Expensive, but again as expected. Everything was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We are staying at Sandy Lane after 12 wonderful. Nights in Mustique. The first night I tried to turn down the aircon in the room below 23 degrees. Impossible. Woke up sweating most of the night. I flagged this to the front desk the following morning and then when nothing had been fixed after we got ready for dinner I flagged it again … expecting it would be fixed when we returned from dinner. No such luck! Flagged it again the following the morning it was finally fixed. 2 nights out of 3 sleeping in a room that was 23 degrees. First world problems… but not five star service. NOW I am waiting for a maintenance guy at midnight because I can’t close the curtains/drapes because the stupid electronic button doesn’t work. WHY is there not a simple override to close the curtains manually and obviously housekeeping knew because they kept the drapes open at turn down service !! AWFUL !!

Perhaps the best resort hotel in the world. Certainly the best place I’ve ever stayed on a vacation. Why? The setting is spectacular, the service is on point, and the food, golf and activities are all amazing. But, most of all it is the people. The staff and guests (most of whom return year after year) blend into a seamless community that creates a mutual culture of kindness and gratitude. We experienced so many examples of this in our time at Sandy Lane. One example is when we shared a shuttle from the golf course with some other guests. They asked if we were going on the catamaran cruise the next day. We had not booked it but did so based on their recommendation. (The concierge increased the capacity by two to accommodate us.). The day was a true highlight of our trip and we ended up playing a round of golf and sharing lunch with the guest who recommended it the following day. A second example is when I had a small medical issue our last night. The staff drove us to the 24 hour medical clinic and back and filled my prescription for me. The entire ordeal took only one hour and I was feeling fine by morning. On other trips, this type of curveball has diverted us for entire days or nights but the staff at Sandy Lane made it inconsequential. There were so many other moments that show why this place is different. When you pair them with the unparalleled location, Bajan culture and all the attention to detail and amenities, you really end up with something in a class of its own. This place is a Seven Star hotel. We will return.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Sandy Lane, and I can easily say it’s not just one of the best resorts in the Caribbean—it’s world class. . The service, attention to detail, and warmth of the staff stood out from the moment we arrived. I’d love to name everyone who made our stay exceptional, but the list would be just too long — and I wouldn’t want to leave anyone out inadvertently. Every single member of the team was fantastic. A special thank you to the transfer and concierge team who went above and beyond when we cut our departure a little too close. Not only did they get us to the airport on time, but they also ensured our check-in process at the airport was smooth and stress-free. It’s moments like these that truly show the caliber of service Sandy Lane stood out from the rest in the island. Leo, the manager, was a constant and reassuring presence — always around and clearly proud of the incredible team and operation he leads. If you’re considering a stay at Sandy Lane, please don’t hesitate. It’s a place where every detail is cared for, and every guest is made to feel special. We can’t wait to return to the beautiful island and an amazing resort.
