As the title suggests, this must be one of the best hotels in the world. I only have positive things to say. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. No request was too much. The staff are amazing. The beach is stunning. The food was outstanding. The gym was large and clean and have all the equipment we needed. The spa was world class with amazing treatments. It wasnt cheap, but getting something at this level never will be. We will absolutely be back!

After a slightly less positive experience in 2024, 2025 was absolutely fabulous!! It was so lovely to see many familiar faces from the Sandy Lane team and everywhere across the hotel seemed well supported this year. We were met at the airport in style, had wonderful food and friendly service throughout our stay, and the manager’s drinks evening was a generous highlight. Our room couldn’t have been more perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed Dawn swims, friendly fellow guests, and the welcoming atmosphere of the team - thank you!

Sandy Lane offers a delightful afternoon tea experience which i’d recommend to anyone who enjoys a relaxed experience in a wonderful setting. The cakes are an elegant take on traditional choices. All members of staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming.

We came for Sunday lunch and had an amazing meal as always. Service and food excellent. The buffet had a wide selection, great variety and quality offering. The music was lovely to arrive to and the views beautiful. Perfect! Thank you for a wonderful day!

Been coming to Sandy for over 20 years ,it remains an outstanding luxurious Expensive Hotel ,everything is the best. Ensconced in their dolphin suite with its large balcony overlooking the sea it is difficult not to feel good , the lovely sandy beach ,the blue sea,breakfast immaculately served there every morning the bathroom and the wardrobes are the stuff of legend ,the lovely lounge , Every last item in the room is perfect and perfectly maintained . The friendly staff ,led by the manager and indeed the ever smiling Alpha Add to the enjoyment The a la carte dining in bajan blue was good as was the monkey restaurant Sans of course the pianist replaced bizarrely by a sort of disc jockey but thankfully playing fairly harmonious music. The bar before the restaurant feels exclusive Last year when we came at the same time the beach looked quite eroded but this year magically it’s back to where it was years ago . Our days we’d mainly spend by the amazing pool area ,where as I have said before they serve the best food in the hotel - or does it taste that bit better Eating outside in the shade ? You could take this place for granted ,but everything that has been good about this hotel from the start continues ,high standards maintained ,the staff a credit to the hotel. Well done Sandy !
