Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Offshore Island

Staff are top notch and very, very friendly. Room and view were amazing as well. We spent an entire week and visited their private island three of those days. Water was very cool so did t swim much but it was truly amazing. We are definitely making plans to go back.

Held our wedding here in April 2024. The location was beautiful. Our wedding coordinator, Keri, and her team made the night perfect. Johnny, James, Valentino and Peter worked extra hard to help get our location set up. Waynette kept the wedding moving smoothly, and Shavone, Shevonette, and Azure were so attentive throughout. We would not have made any changes! Our DJ did a great job, and our photographer (Alrio) captured beautiful pictures. The weather and food were excellent. Also, servers/bartenders like Star, Chardonnay, and Static were so friendly they definitely helped to make the remainder of our stay memorable. We appreciated the friendly demeanor of nearly everyone we encountered. We have already booked our anniversary trip with Sandals!

From start to finish it was the best holiday so far!!! Shuttle service from the airport in a Rolls Royce, champagne on arrival, fresh champagne with some cheese when we got our room. Our butlers Paula and Junior made our experience even more enjoyable. From having sun beds ready in the morning with a cooler with what ever beverages we wanted for that day, booking our dinner reservations, complimentary photo shoot on the beach, booking our spa trea**ents on the private island . They went out of their way to make sure we had the best trip possible . I have to say our lady butler Paula is special. She really made our stay feel like we were very welcomed and spoiled us from start to finish One down side was the choice of food. I thought the standard of food would have been better as we are big foodies but I will sure be back to this hotel . 5*!!!

My husband and I spent a week at Sandals Royal Bahamian at the end of January and had THE BEST TIME EVER! Everything about our trip was fabulous but one of the reasons why we really loved the experience we had at Sandals was the people who work there were wonderful, really the best. This was our first all-inclusive vacation. He is sixty and I am fifty years-old. The entertainment coordinator Genie was so fun and friendly and was the last person we spoke with before heading on our shuttle to head back to the airport. She gave us hugs like old friends and said sweet kind goodbyes while teaching me some last-minute dance moves. Genie was one of the highlights of our trip, especially for entertainment at the east bay pool and at the honeymoon gathering. Giovanni and James (ketchup and mustard or maybe I have it backwards) managed the nighttime entertainment, were our DJs and organized couples games. Again, very fun and entertaining. We are the kind of people who like to take part and we highly enjoyed the silly couple's games and hanging out with Giovanni and James. Coconut Grove is relaxing with all of the couches and comfy places to sit. We listened to the singer Angel who has a fantastic voice, and while sitting out in the evening with very high cool winds they handed out blankets to everyone. It's little extras like this that stick with people and make an impact. Angel got my (slightly tipsy!) husband Dave to sing "Sweet Caroline" with her and for the rest of the trip people kept coming up to him and saying, "Hey you're Dave!" Food and drink were tasty and abundant. We never waited long for our drinks, and when we did wait the bartenders would chat with us, offer advice, ask us questions and were in general very friendly and sociable. On our first night Chardonay and Andrew were exceptionally friendly and conversational. Part of our trip the days were very windy and somewhat cool, so at times not many people were in the pool and everyone who made our drinks would talk with us. Natalie, Melvin and Noel especially, although everyone we met was very kind. It made us feel special and like we want to come back (soon!) Noel gave me plenty of tips about were to go at Fish Fry and how to get there. We were very blessed that for some reason Sandals upgraded our room to a swim up suite which we loved. It was sheltered from the wind and the water was pretty warm so we were able to hang in the water outside of our room, away from the wind. A big thank you to Sandals for that free upgrade. Our room had towel animals, rose petals, chilled champagne, robes, liquor, beer, wine, mixers and water. Towels, toiletries and fridge was kept well stocked all week. If our privacy was not on we received a room service daily, and a nightly turn down (which I've never experienced before.) We felt very spoiled. Oh, and VERY comfy mattresses, pillows and blankets. The food was great. We are sushi-lovers and Soy nailed it. Our dinner at

Sandals is truly the gold standard. This location is so convenient. Short flight from Toronto, short ride from the airport, right into paradise. All of the restaurants were amazing. The bar service was great. We spent most of our time on the private island relaxing. The silent dance party was surprisingly fun. The Balmoral Club with all of the historical photos of the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson, and of the Beatles staying at the hotel, was cool. The performers in the piano bar were amazing and the bartender in that area was a seasoned pro. We will be back!

This trip was one of my favorites so far. It was my first stay at a Sandals resort and it exceeded my expectations. The views were amazing, the food was good, and the staff was great. Those beautiful blue waters are not exaggerated, fyi. We stayed for 3 days but it was not long enough for me. I also have to make a shoutout to the amazing beautiful Kimberly for her assistance in planning another trip and to the multitalented handsome Giovanni for making the experience so lively. I would love to come back again!

Amazingggggg hotel amazing restaurants amazing staff amazing rooms amazing beach…. This was the most beautiful relaxing romantic holiday I’ve ever had and we will deffinatly be returning…. Beautiful Sandy beaches and crystal clear waters

This hotel is by far the prettiest we have ever been to, all interior is well thought out and the entire resort is extremely pleasing to the eye. The food (once you were finally able to get served) was faultless, all food was absolutely delicious. La Plume does the best breakfast (A La Carte) along with the best evening meal but you would need to book this as soon as you arrive. The service offered from almost all staff was absolutely abysmal. They all look as though the do not want to be there, you are made to feel like an inconvenience and hardly anyone is willing to help (I could go on for hours) The alcohol and general beverage options and availabilities were sub par, considering what you are paying to be there. They were constantly running out of alcohol, or one side of the bar would be telling you something is unavailable and the next minute someone else would be served with the exact thing you requested. It was a mission on our behalf to ensure we had a full room service, 3 times we had our used towels removed from the room but no replacements and then we had to call several times to get fresh ones. The evening entertainment is more suited to a retirement home, nearly everything finished around or before 10pm. When attempting to be seated at one of the walk in restaurants we were often advised that any party larger than 2 was difficult to accommodate. In spite of all my above criticisms there were a few staff which went above and beyond (Kendrika, Static, Micah, Leonardo, and the lady serving drinks on the beach) In conclusion, I will not recommend this hotel to anyone as I did not feel we received value for money.

This was our 4th Sandals trip and second to this resort. Check in 5 stars Food 5 stars Drinks 5 stars. Now for the decline. Housekeeping 2 stars. Our room was not cleaned on several occasions. Staff 3 stars. Most were friendly but a few were not. Bartender at east bay bar was slammed! All by himself with 30 people waiting. Eventually management saw and stepped in but come on, dont leave a guy hanging. Needless to say, he wasn’t happy. Boat ride to private island soliciting tips, no big deal but i didn’t have cash with me as it’s supposed to be all inclusive but got funny looks from crew when I didn’t tip. Overall we are loyal to Sandals, we love the brand.. we liked going to this location for convenience but we are trying Barbados next.
