We stayed at the resort from May 2nd-9th, 2013 in one of the secondary buildings containing about 10 rooms with Concierge service. Airport - check in for the resort is difficult as they do not have a large staff for the vast number of people checking in. Transport to the resort is good, you get to see a lot of... More

We spent two weeks at Sandals Grande Antigua between 27th April until the 11th of May this year, during which time we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. The resort proved to everything we hoped for, the grounds are beautiful and extensive, the resort is spotlessly clean, the staff we found very friendly, polite and eager to make our holiday one...

My wife and I recently stayed at Sandals Grande Antigua. When we booked, due to our age (retirees), we were slightly concerned that perhaps the resort would cater for more of a younger element; so you can imagine our delight when we arrived to discover that Sandals really does span all age groups. Throughout the holiday we found the staff... More

I was there for my cousins weeding and where a group of about 20. The resorts is really set up for couples and not so much for larger weeding groups. Staff seemed confused at times trying to put 20 seats together let alone 8 for smaller dinners. Understandably this is a couple resort and pretty much has everything set up... More

This was our 5th Sandals trip - we've previously been to Halycon St Lucia, Dunn's River Jamaica and the one that used to be in Varadero Cuba. They're all very different. We spent a lot of time reading through reviews before booking which really helps me so hopefully I can do the same for someone else. Only 20 minute transfer... More

We stayed at the Sandals Grande Antigua from May 9th-16th. Upon arriving at the resort, there was some slight confusion as to where to go to check in as we had to wait for someone to come to us in the lobby. About 15 mins into being there, our butler Julian arrived & gave us a tour of the resort... More

We had our wedding there. The wedding people are great it couldn't have been any better it was perfect. The resort is big. Expect a lot of walking and tired feet. If you like large resorts then you will like it, I prefer a smaller resort. The reviews you read about the horrible food are true. Breakfast is good, lunch... More

We regret to read that your stay was not as great as you would have hoped. Regarding your concerns about the food and dining options, it is surprising to note that some of the food served was not to your expectations. This aspect of our operation is usually considered exceptional and very often received compliments from our guests. We are... More
