I traveled alone and found Sandy Bay my home away from home. The staff and guests were so nice. I had no problems. The beach is beautiful. Met some people from Oklahoma and we had a driver take us on a tour of Barbados. I also met a lot of people from England and they were so much fun. Enjoyed... more

Our group of 18 ages from 5-75 stayed at this resort from June 7th to the 14th. Barbados is a wonderful island and definitely worth visiting. It is also more expensive than some of the other destinations and when I found a great price I jumped on it. The biggest problem with the resort are all the silly rules. I... more

We stayed at the Sandy Bay for 8 nights in the beginning of May. We read all the reviews and were very prepared on arrival. We arrived and got into our room, small, and need to be updated, but still nice. But we weren't planning on spending much of our vacation in the room. The air condition worked great, that... more

We had not been expecting 5 star luxury nor dreadful badly run resort! We really found it to be a 'poor resort'. Dirty, unmaintained & really miserable staff! They need a good manager, lots of staff never doing anything. We felt neglected and often ignored.... The food was our main complaint. If you want too eat burgers, fries, hot dogs... more

Having read a mixed bag on this resort I went with an open mind. The virgin flight was good, all OK there. However, on arrival you hand in an imigration card, one per person, NOT one per family as told by cabin staff! And don't forget to keep the retun bit you tear off at the bottom. The transfer to... more

We recently visited Sandy Bay at the end of May 2008. Overall, a great vacation spot for the money! We read the reviews on this site before going, so we were prepared. Many of the negatives we read about were really not a problem at all. I suppose some people are more sensitive than others. The rooms are adequate, but... more

First of all, thanks to everyone who reviewed this hotel! Having read all the reviews before my trip, they gave me a good idea of what to expect and I agree with most of them. Hopefully mine will be helpful too. I'm glad my boyfriend and I booked this vacation and it was worth the money. When I say that,... more

We've just returned from a week's stay at Sandy Bay and had a wonderful holiday. The hotel was adequate but left a few things to be desired - we got such a great deal with Virgin though our expectations weren't too high. The good points were as follows: The location was fantastic - the beach and lagoon was amazing and... more

My wife and I stayed here at the beginning of May for 11 nights. After reading some of the reviews on this site we were a bit apprehensive to the extent that I managed to get us a free upgrade through the company we booked with into a garden view apartment room. From speaking to people we met whilst we... more
