The food was good, our room wasn't nice. I thought Sandals upgraded people who've stayed at Sandals before a better room. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The hotub by our pool was not working all week. When I mentioned to the concierge that my boyfriend had a problem with his knees she did nothing to address the situation but just offered an apology. The beach was beautiful but our room was poor. The bathroom was very outdated. The internet was not working well at all. The location was close to the airport and be sure to stand back if you are a smoker you will get run over. There were 9 weddings on Valentine's day. There are 2 nice wedding gazebo's and I believe 3 not so nice ones. They spray at night for mosquitoes and it doesn't smell pretty, but the bugs stay off. We paid too much for a Sandals resort when compared to other resorts we've stayed at. I found the staff not too much caring and slow but it's like that at most resorts. The entertainment guy was great...very outgoing. Seen Oprah's house though! Oh and stay in the Mediterranean building it's new.

Really great resort with great service. Very clean and beautiful rooms. The oceanview suite was amazing. Dining at Mario's was sometimes very difficult due to availability...although if the staff would clean/clear the tables as they empty (which makes sense) there wouldn't be any seating issues. Time management in the restaurants is lacking major. Rubbish a little bit everywhere on the grounds. But it didn't ruin anything. Loved every minute of it.

Hotel had lots of greenery, the beach was beautiful (when the local vendors weren't bothering you to buy something). The food and drinks were awesome. The maid service was good with the exception of the bar fridge being neglected

My wife & I just returned from our second trip to Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa. We spent two weeks at this beautiful resort & it gets better every time. The resort it’s self gets better every year as the gardens grow & the colors are great. As a photographer it’s nonstop shooting great shots around this beautiful property. One of the best highlights of this resort is the people that work there. Managers like Gerald Christ, Matthew Cornall, Nicholas Bersma, Donavan Dobson, (Main pool bar), Althea, Cherise G., Carlos, Teandra, & (Restaurants) Kenelm, Garth, Patrick (Baby Shack) & Kenny. All these people & many more help make your vacation one of the best times of your life.
The food is five star at all restaurants on the property & being a large resort there are many to pick from. Even after sending two weeks you never get tired of trying a new dish.
There are many smaller pools & one very large pool that have many lounge chairs & lots of umbrellas. The pools are very clean & the hot tubs are hot. All the pools are quite with very low soft music paying in the background. Great spot for having a snooze!
The beach is great, white sand & great for long walks with the warm ocean water meeting your feet.
All in all this is the best resort we have found & will keep coming back to enjoy the people, resort & the island.

This is our 2nd vacation at the Grande Antigua and it won't be our last. We had a beautiful room in the Cypress building. We were well taken care of by GM Gerald Christ; Director of Guest Services Donovan Dobson and their Staff. Special mention to Cherise G and Teandra from the Main Pool for their friendly service.

The sandels experience was indeed a cut or two above.

This was our first experience at a Sandals and it was a lovely resort. Antigua itself is very small, friendly and safe. Staff at the hotel were wonderful and helpful. We had the butler service for the first time and although it was good, it is probably not for couples that are pretty self sufficient although it was great to be able to get into the restaurants. We stayed on the Mediterranean side of the complex which I would recommend. Room was to die for on the 6th floor overlooking the grounds and ocean.(don't stay next to the elevator) We are divers and the dives are included...great dive crew and fabulous dives. Did an excursion around the island that is well worth the money. Food was good, lobster fabulous at both the Barefoot restaurant and Eleanor's. I also recommend just having a pizza for lunch...hot and yummy. Overall a great experience, lots of beach and pool area.

Some employees went way above and beyond in making our stay a memorable one and yet there were a few who did not lift a finger, quite inconsistant! Overall it was good stay and we got our R&R that we were looking for.

Great weather, amazing resort and some of the best beaches in the world. The staff were great, the food was amazing with lots of options - and we were upgraded to an amazing room. We can't wait until we are able to go back.

We had a great time at this resort the staff were all friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding everytime...even the buffet. Drinks are plentlyful and freashly made. Our room was a Monte Carlo Honeymoon suite and it was comfortable with a huge flate screen tv and fully stock fridge bar with juices, pops, beer and even wine. The bathroom is large with his/her sinks big walkin shower and soaker tub.
Beach was smaller then I was expecting but it was clean, water was beautiful. We can not wait to go back!!!!

best vacation i've ever been on

Poor service, rude staff, lousy food. Worst Sandals property I have ever been to.
