We're Sandals Select Platinum members and stayed at the Sandals Grande Antigua from December 5 to 16, 2011. Due to room upgrade, we stayed in both the Caribbean and Mediterranean sections. In the Caribbean Section, we had an ocean view room in a second floor; however, the view was obstructed by palm trees placed in front of the balcony. In... More

From the time we walked through the door at Sandals Grande Antigua we were impressed. The staff was very warm and accomodating. We stayed in the Caribbean village which I def would recommend to stay in if you are not on your honeymoon. Otherwise the Mediterranean part is nicer. We wanted a waterview room which I thought we booked but... More

Absolutely beautiful all inclusive resort set on Dickenson Bay Beach, rated one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The resort was immaculate with clean, up to date decor in the rooms and huge tile and granite bathrooms. The grounds were beautifully landscaped with flowers, palms and manicured lawns everywhere you looked. Although a huge resort, there were many... More

As a Sandals Select Platinum member with over 70 nights at Sandals resorts behind me I have to say that the Sandals Grande Antigua has a problem. The resort itself is ok, there are good facilities throughout but there is something missing at this resort that other Sandals have. The food is average at best and is certaintly not 4*... More

We spent our 2nd week on Antigua at Sandals in early November. Very dissappointed after the less expensive but much more quality resort the 1st week. So shop around and read my review of that resort! Back to Sandals, we were pressured to upgrade to concierge level and told we would not be able to get ANY dinner reservations if... More

Just a warning, for those who like long reviews, you are in luck! If not, why are you here? Who we are: We are a married couple in our early 40s and are all-inclusive junkies. Say what you will about not being "real" travelers, we love the relaxation that all-inclusives provide. We've been to several AIs in Jamaica, Mexico and... More

My wife and I are seniors, celebrating my wife's retirement from 45 years at our TV station. We checked out 2 other upscale resorts in Antigua which were both stunningly beautiful, but all-round, none could compare to Sandals. We are seasoned travelers and have learned not to sweat the small stuff. The only disappointment we (I) had was their requirement... More

I will start off by saying that my husband and I spent the second week of our honeymoon in Sandals Grande Antigua and we are so glad that it was saved for last! Rooms: we upgraded a few weeks before we left to the honeymoon suite on the 7th floor - roman themed. The room was spacious and had a... More

Excelent hotel with two distinct themes. On e classed as the Mediaterraenean that was very modern with high rise rooms as well as smaller clusers set within grassed areas with concrete walkways. The other theme was very Caribbean. Small clusters of apartments set amongst shrubs, trees and flower beds with select small pools with 1 or 2 story apartments surrounding.... More
