Pros:
-FREE upgrade from the cheapest room to the rondoval with private pool and 24 hour room service!
-Most beautiful place I've ever seen
-Snorkeling was fantastic
-Kayaking was lots of fun and there was never a wait
-Swimming in the ocean as it was never crowded
-Excellent deals at the gift shop and SnapShots

Cons:
-Food wasn't great
-LOTS of solicitors on the beach
-Lounge chairs were always full
-Reservations were tough to get, though we did eventually get to do everything we wanted to

My husband and I came to Sandals Antigua for our second anniversary (got married at Sandals Royal Bahamian) and we had a GREAT time and feel like the trip was well worth the money we paid for it. HOWEVER, I think we'd feel very differently if not for the free upgrade.

On April 12 2008 I and my husband went to sandals Antigua. We had booked to stay in the beachfront rondavols. When we arrived our butler greeted d us with champagne and told us that we had an upgede to the Mediterranean village honeymoon suite. We were disappointed because it wasn ' t the room we booked. As our butler walked us in our room we absolutely were thankful for r the upgrade the room was beautiful and huge and had our own balcony. We checked out what we did have booked (the rondavols) ...

Me and my partner went to Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa for 2 weeks in april 2008.
The first room we got was terrible there was a gap under the door about 3 inch! anything could of crawled in!
The bath was half the size of a normal bath and had all what seemed like mould around it. The wardrobe was a hole in the wall! The air conditioning system had dark coloured water running down the wall and this was supposed to be 5 star luxury! We complained straight away. After a couple of days of this, w ...

Visited this resort on a work trip and was extremely disappointed. I had read several reviews and many of them were true....

The ONE redeeming quality the resort had was the butler service in the Mediterranean Village...they were OUTSTANDING!!!

Other than that, the food was definitely lacking, most of the employees were cordial but did not have answers to any questions.

A large handful of them were very rude and unhelpful.

A small handful were above and beyond pleasant and helpful.

I would stay away from Sandals Antigua, especially if romance is in your plan. One of the couples we met there ware planning their wedding and nearly called the whole thing off because of the miserable conditions/environment and the poor service. They waited until the last minute to pull through, fortunately they went forward with the wedding because they make a really nice couple! Leave Sandals to the miserable staff that run it, we sure won't miss them!

The Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa is definitely somewhere worth going. I don't know about the other rooms, but ours was breathtaking. They fill your bar every day and it's all included. The grounds are beautiful, and there is always something to do if you want. I definitely recommend the extreme circumnavigation - it's worth it!

Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa is nice, but I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. Although the area was nice, the hotel was awful. The worst quality, and the worst place I've ever stayed, and I have travelled the world, so I know a lot of places!

This is my personal opinion of how I perceived my holiday/honeymoon at the Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa;
If you are expecting an all shiny, new, perfect resort like the adverts you'll be a bit disappointed. Unfortunately because I'd fantasized it would be like the brochure & video, I felt let-down. We ended up deciding we were not going to ruin our honeymoon by sulking, as it's not all bad. After a couple of days we worked out where the quiet pool was, (NOT the pool bar, as it's full of intoxic ...
