Barabdos is lovely and will definitely go back. Overall a lovely holiday, staff amazing most of the time, compared to other hotels we have stayed in the Sandals Barbados probably needs a little bit of TLC around the pool area, Sandals Barabdos probably only 4 stars now. Do take a walk into St Lawrence gap only 10 mins from the hotel, again everyone very friendly. We also enjoyed the jeep safari around the island, but booked through trip advisor and got it cheaper with same company Sandals use. I would recommend the silent disco, it was really good and the first time we had done one. The restaurants are all really good, like other reviews, sometimes not the quickest but you are on holiday, and not in any rush, so doesn't really matter. The service wasn't always exceptional, which is understandable everyone has off days, most of the time if you make an effort to speak with the staff they are really helpful and friendly. The pool was only cleaned once in 10 days and not very well, often sugar and rubbish left around the tables from the previous day and the swim up bar had large pieces of concrete missing. The pool area let down a full star feedback. We stayed in Sandals Barabdos side not the Royal.
