We spent a week at Sandals Antigua in Jan 2012. It was our second Sandals vacation - our first being our honeymoon 16 years ago to Sandals St. Lucia. Our goal in going on this vacation was to do nothing other than relax. We came on the trip well equipped - with several books to read and the expectation that... More

Great resort. Usual complaints about limited seating at main pool but there are many small pools. Many people leave towels on seats for hours. Ask staff and they will remove. Great staff and food. However, be sure to book restaurants early as some close on specific days. If you ask when you get there you won't be disappointed. I have... More

Everything was just what we wanted and expected. A real paradise with great food. Although every resort has people getting up early and reserving chairs with their towels I have never seen it as bad as here. We walked around the pool deck one night and chairs were already reserserved for the next morning. I had accidentally left behind a... More

After spending the week at the antiqua sandals, i am happy to report an excellent experience. Theres no doubt that the price of admission is a bit steep, and theres no way that... More

Having twice stayed at Sandals before we were looking forward to another excellent holiday but sadly this was not the case. We arrived Saturday and things were average until then but on the Tuesday we were invaded by about 100 travel agents (mostly women) who just took over the whole resort. Bearing in mind that Sandals advertise the resort as... More

Both my wife and I are 5 star travellers and I have never felt the need to complain or give advise on a resort before, but one of the major frustrations linked to Sandals Antigua Resort needs to be said for the benefit of future tourists considering this resort. Most people go on holiday expecting a nice resort, great beaches,... More

What a wonderful resort!   Service was better than excellent.  Management was never better.   Very accommodating and makes everyone feel special. My hats off to Matthew Cornall. He is a warm, friendly and wonderful manager. The grounds here are incredible.  It's two fabulous resorts in one.  Caribbean side is older, yet extremely charming.   Very quiet and private areas,...

My wife and I stayed at the Sandals Grande Antigua Resort during Jan 21 to 28. It is an outstanding vacation spot. Our room was located on the fourth floor of the Crystal Tower and provided an excellent view of the main pool area as well as the beach. A large four poster king size bed, a daily fully stocked...

The 7-day vacation to the Sandals Grande Antigua resort (from January 22nd to January 28th) that my wife and I enjoyed was incredible. An amazing beach, an outstanding pool, great food and drink, and spacious accommodations. But, before you go, there are some things to know (not criticisms, just helpful hints to make your stay even better). BACKGROUND: 7-day, 6-night... More
