I had the butler service, and all three butlers were amazing! I had a Rondoval room that was awesome. It was a little quiet for me, and everything seemed to close down by 10 p.m., but I still had a great time. Neptune's and Dino's are the go-to spots for a quick bite. The rooftop pool is a great place to go and relax in the evening. Watching the sunset from there was really nice. I would recommend going to this resort.

My husband and I stayed 7 days here. The staff members were very nice, and the entertainment was amazing. Each night, there was a theme, and there were so many places to eat. There were lots of pools to choose from, and the view of the ocean from the beach was phenomenal. You have access to both resorts here; Royal Barbados and Barbados. Most places are about a 5-6 minute walk if you're going from one side to the other, so not bad at all.
There were four restaurants that you needed reservations for, so I recommend you make those the same day you check in. Of all the restaurants (we ate at about 10 of them and there are about 15), I had the best experience at Kimonos. Definitely try that place out!
The shuttle from the airport is only about 15-20 minutes long, so not as far as most other Sandals resorts.
If you're looking to enjoy sitting next to a pool that's not very crowded, go up to Sky Terrace. It's very relaxing up there, and there's an amazing view. You also don't need to wait forever at the bar since most people are at the other pools.

I like Sandals properties however I feel the service here could be better. We happen to arrive here during Hurricane season and it was a rough two days. The communication was poor, it started off good but fell off along the way. The workers were not nice or friendly and didn't offer much information probably because they didn't know. The upside I had a great sales associate that was very helpful to me and my group. (See photos) I love that the resort is adults only, the variety of restaurants, bars and activities are great. Since it was a stormy week, we didn't see any of the nightly shows. I forgot to mention the bowling alley was fun. However there was only two working lanes and one kept breaking down while we bowled. So basically they only have one working lane. They need a bowling alley special technician.
Overall it was a good experience.3.5 stars
The room shown is a private villa!

This is my 4th time at Sandals. Currently, this Sandals is the most boring, unclean, unfriendly, attitude-filled, resort I’ve ever been to. Nearly every event that is scheduled at the pools are not conducted. There is no music at the pools on Royal side. There is only music at Barbados side for around 2 hours daily. Bartenders on Barbados side will not come to the pool-level bar. Reservations booked by butlers are apparently fake and the restaurants are refusing to seat us. This resort is clearly understaffed and had serious downgrades in recent years. There is no reason for a wait over an hour at restaurants that are less than half capacity. We’ve been notified by a multitude of other unsatisfied guests that they have received downgraded rooms from what they paid for and were only accommodated with spa credit. They were not notified until arriving at the resort. We were also notified of 200+ employees being “laid off” shortly before our arrival. As a result, many other customers who have been here previously are now stating this resort WAS a good resort prior.

My new wife and I spent our honeymoon in a South Seas Walkout Crystal Lagoon Club Level Junior Palm Suite with Patio Tranquility Soaking Tub in the Cassia building and it was perfect. The room was well appointed and the staff always promptly refilled the bar and we even got turndown service. Contrary to other reviews, there were no issues with towels- we found plenty for the pool/beach, and the in-room bath towels were replenished by housekeeping. The lagoon pool outside our room was clean and peaceful. The ocean swimming was the best I’ve experienced at any Sandals resort. There was some seaweed but not enough to make a difference. Local merchants on the beach offered various services but were not bothersome. All of the dining was excellent and featured many vegan/vegetarian options. Most importantly, the staff were all very helpful and friendly. We will definitely consider returning to Sandals Royal Barbados!
