Overall a really good experience but could definitely improve on a few things.
Overall Sandals never disappoints - we went with two other couples and totally enjoyed our vacation. There are a few things that Sandals could improve on; we had to beat the butlers if we wanted first row pool side seats for six people and that meant getting to the pool by 5:45am. Not fun when you are on vacation. The rooms were tired and definitely needed a refresh--we were in the 7000 room building. They still had a bit of the Tuscan feel.
Staff -we met some really nice and hard working members. Food-breakfast and dinner were great but really would have enjoyed a salad buffet at one of the restaurants. We only could secure two reservations and the wait at the other two were 70 minutes and 20 minutes. Put your names in before you want to eat to make sure that the wait is not long.
Biggest complaint-we signed up for the Catamaran ride through the resort and it was wonderful except for the fact that a small group of the resort guest were smoking marijuana in the back of the boat. I don't care if you smoke, I just don't want to smell it on a boat where I paid 95$ a ticket. I asked the bartender if this was allowed and he said yes. Others complained also and none of the crew seemed to care. Sandals needs to put a no-smoking policy in place on the catamaran.
We went downtown Antigua -don't waste your time unless you are looking to buy Cuban Cigars which my husband bought. Otherwise, stay at the resort and enjoy. - via
