This is a superb little hotel in a good location near to Holetown. The service was by far the best that we have experienced in the Caribbean. The staff always seemed to be one step ahead of you. They learn your habits and anticipate your needs. It really helps you to relax. They are friendly and respectful. Little touches, like... more

Have just come back from a weeks holiday at the Sandpiper and had the most amazing time. The hotel is a perfect size as it is small enough that the staff remember your name and engage you in conversation but not too small that you feel closed in. We could not fault anything about the hotel we loved every minute... more

We stayed for 8 days in mid October, which is the rainy season, but even a few showers didn't spoil our time at this great vacation hotel. We had booked a Garden room but on arrival were upgraded to a Beach Suite - number 21, which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous verandah. Ask for it! You get a... more

My Wife & I stayed at the Sandpiper in October this year. If fact, we arrived the day it opened after the annual 6 week shut down. First Impressions On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who welcomed us to the hotel and within a minute the hotel Manager (Russell) came out to greet us and show... more

My Wife and I planned a one week holiday in the Sandpiper after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, the reviews were spot on. The Hotel was a nice size with very good amenities and well landscaped grounds, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding. There was a relaxed “English” atmosphere about the place, all the guests seemed... more

We chose Barbados as our honey moon locatation and was recommended to stay on the west coast of the island by friends. The Sandpiper was mentioned in the same breath as Sandy Lane as one of the best spots and I can see why. The sandpiper has all the positives of a top quality five star hotel however it also... more

Booked the Sandpiper for our honeymoon late June into July into one of the standard rooms. On arrival, were possibly expecting a bit more of a impactful entrance, but the staff more than made up for it. Were shown to our room by the manger, which was average and after a nights sleep (or no sleep due to the fact... more

We chose this hotel for our honeymoon on the back of the reviews here and can honestly say it lived up to the hype. Some have said this hotel hasn't got the wow factor and that may be true however this is one of the few hotels either of us has been to that we would want to come back... more

We celebrated our 30th Anniversary at The Sandpiper from June 29 thru July 7. We had a wonderful and most relaxing time. We spent most of our time on the beach swimming and reading on the deck. The food was great, our room beautiful(room 39) and the staff just incredible. Our requests were always meet with a smile and taken... more

We have just returned from a one week stay at The Sandpiper. This was our third visit in 19 months. The hotel is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service in our worldwide travels. Upon arrival, we were greated by the owner who walked us to our one-bedroom suite. This was a fantastic touch. All of the staff... more
