“WOW ....but $$$$$”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Excellent staff and service...Helpful hints......stay in the oceanfront luxurious rooms, adequate and less pricey than the suites....don't stay in Dolphin wing until owner finishes his new villa around 2014 (construction starts at 8:30 am and goes till 5PM ) 7 days a week. Meal plan is good but make sure you don't pay for a dinner buffet....LAcajou is much better but the menu stays the same....Pool is not an infinity one nor on the beach. Beach chairs work on a rotating basis....after two days you'll probably get front row....make sure you chk. by 11 am or you may lose your chair ( I found this to be fair) If anything is not to your liking the staff will quickly accommodate you. Golf courses are wonderful.....Offsite restaurant to recommend is "TheCliffs"....Will go back after I save up and probably when price breaks in mid-April

Room Tip: Don't stay in Dolphin Wing until 2014

“One of the Worlds Best Hotels”

We have recently returned from our annual stay at Sandy Lane only to find this year to be
the best yet!. The weather was kind with reliable sunshine,the restaurants at the
hotel were excellent and the service good. What a great place to stay especially for the
golfer with some brilliant courses and if you wish to relax, the beach is the place to be with
great service from the warm and hospitable staff.

Room Tip: All rooms are of the highest standard.

“Rude and Arrogant Staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We had guests we invited, come to the property to meet us. We had not arrived yet and they were told they were not welcome as the property is only for registered guests. They had made a Lunch reservation at the patio restaurant, to meet us, which was not honored. They were told not to sit in any of the chairs while they waited for us to arrive.
When we arrived and could not find them, we called their cell and found them sitting on the beach sand down the shore like homeless people.
Never in all the years I have travelled have I ever seen a more anti social and arrogant hotel. Our friends are quite well do and could easily afford to stay in this hotel. After being treated beyond bad we saw what type of hotel this was and cancelled our own reservation.
If you like bad service and arrogant staff, this is your hotel

“A Very Special Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We have just returned from Barbados and another fabulous holiday at Sandy Lane. This must be the best place to go at this time of the year, for a luxurious holiday, with reliable sunshine, great golf courses and a variety of good restaurants. And all one stop from the major UK airports. The Hotel,Spa and Golf Courses are all of the very best quality and the warm welcome from the Caribbean staff makes this a very special place.

Room Tip: All suites are luxurious and extremely well appointed. Sea View rooms are worth the extra supplement...

I have just returned from a stay at The Sandy Lane Hotel and I have to say it was amazing and exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is world class in every way. I would like to mention the rooms are best I have ever experienced both technically and comfortably. Great Beach and service. I can whole heartily recommend this hotel.
