Sandals Grande Antigua Visited on August 2021

Oh my Goodness! Our Butlers Shante, Charmaine, and Darin WERE THE BEST IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! The hardest thing we had to do was to relax. They did everything to make sure our vacation was truly memorable, relaxing, and fun. Shante, Charmaine, and Darin should receive a pay increase and all new butlers should definitely train with them. They are a terrific trio. Also, they knew what we needed before we asked. You can't get any better than that. Shante. Charmaine, and Darin we miss you all!

Sandals Grande Antigua Visited on July 2021

Our honeymoon to Sandals Grande Antigua was fantastic!! We have been home for a few days now and already want to go back! What makes Sandals stand out compared to other resorts is the quality of staff members. Staff in all locations are always checking in, saying hello, asking if you need anything, etc. Not once did we encounter an unfriendly staff member who didn't want to make our experience better. The all-inclusive nature of Sandals makes relaxing even easier - no need to carry around a wallet! The variety of excursions provided has something for everyone. Our favorite excursion was the Xtreme Circumnavigation boat tour in which we saw all 360 degrees of the island! We also enjoyed our couples' massage at the Red Lane Spa. You feel at ease right upon walking in. I cannot speak highly enough of this resort overall. There is no better place!

Sandals Grande Antigua Visited on July 2021

My wife and I came for our Honeymoon and it was a great experience. We enjoyed every minute of it. Our favorite part of the trip was the staff. We wanted to give a shout out to 3 people on staff that made our experience very memorable. First off Shonell, she was the best. She treated us like family and always talked to us. She always greeted us with a smile and a great attitude. She always looked for us and made sure we had a great time. Next was Big John I, he was amazing. He was another member of the staff that always looked out for us and made us feel very special. He went above and beyond and made us feel like more than guests. Finally another person was a member of the wait staff, Kia. She always met us with a bubbly smile and made us feel special. All around this trip was great, the weather was greats the resort was great and the staff was amazing. Thank you Sandals.

Sandals Antigua did not disappoint. A dream vacation to be sure! The staff are very attentive and the grounds are kept beautifully. The food at the restaurants was a bit more americanized than I expected so we went into St John for local flavor. Rooms are very clean, kept fully stocked and the beach is very clean. We will be going to another Sandals soon.

"What sets the new Sandals South Coast resort apart from the rest of the couples-only, all inclusive Caribbean mega resorts is the feeling that you are removed from the rest of the world.
