St. James, The Sandpiper

When we arrived at The Sandpiper in Barbados we felt straight at home. The Staff try their best to accommodate your needs and do so with pleasure. The beach is one of the best around, with activities such as swimming with the turtles. Overall, the Sandpiper Barbados is the best resort I've ever stayed in, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking of going there.

We arrived at The Sandpiper, to find a damp musty room awaited us. We complained, and were kindly moved to a suite, and were told to make up the difference, a BIG difference pound wise. After lengthy negotiations the management agreed to us staying in this room for no extra charge.

We found the staff, coping with a large party, gradually lost interest over the two weeks. We waited and waited and waited for orders to be taken, some evening meals taking 3 hours.

Disappointing.

We took advantage of reciprocal meals arrangement in other hotels, which made our visit more interesting.

Otherwise the hotel was spot on. Would go back.
