The chicken we had for our main course was our favourite dish over our 10 night stay on the island - cooked in a different way to bring out the flavours and it was awesome. Also a extensive wine list with over 2000 wines to choose from (although the chap that served us the wine was slightly annoying with his... More

A wonderful fine dining experience, but lacking in Bajan charm. The food and service, as you would expect are excellent and the decor tasteful and elegant, but with out the gentle leaping of the ocean outside you could be in any great restaurant around the world. Would probably return but perhaps for lunch as opposed to dinner.

My boyfriend and I would like to thank four special staff members at L'Acajou for making our experience so extraordinary. Kieren, Shawn, Jac, and Karen were wonderful! We saved L'Acajou for last after dining at the coast's best restaurants all week. We had high expectation, but were not let down one bit! Kieren, our main waiter was friendly, cheerful and... More

In the Sandy Lane resort. Great view over the beach, clever array of traditional and Caribbean drinks with fine bar tending, good menu which does not change much night to night, for better or worse.

As most visitors to the Island we enjoyed the hospitality of most of the famous restuarants. I didn't have high expectations for Sandy Lane and was expecting the typical staid Hotel experience you can often get. Instead, we got an excellent meal that was in a great location and a really fun evening with drinks and live music to follow.... More

My fiance and I were fortunate enough to dine here on the eve of our wedding. It was a beautiful evening in Barbados as we were driven up the long winding road to security check in at Sandy Lane. The gates opened and we were led into an opulent oasis of beauty. We were greeted warmly and escorted to the... More

I booked some time ago for my husband's 50th birthday wanting to ensure we had a special night out - we were not disappointed. Greeted at the security gate with a 'Happy Birthday' was a good start. The food was exquisite, and the staff so friendly and helpful. I only asked for a 'nice table' and mentioned why and they... More
