Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Hope Land

Sending so much love from the states. Thank you to our butlers Sean, Bonita, and miss Kristal! They were so sweet and attentive. Thank you staff for making a great Christmas. The swim up rooms were so amazing. And the food as always is great. See you next time

This was my second time staying at Sandals Royal Barbados, and it was just as amazing. My friends and I had a wonderful experience, the resort itself is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. We stayed in the butler category rooms with swim-up pools, which added the perfect touch of luxury to our trip. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. I highly recommend this resort to anyone planning a visit.

My wife and I were there celebrating our 27th Anniversary and we had an amazing time. Our suite was beautiful (swim up), very spacious and comfortable. It included butler service (Melissa, Rachel and Aquila), and they were fantastic. We were waited on hand and foot and did not have to want for anything no matter where we were on the resort. The restaurants we chose to have meals were great (you definitely have to try Bombay and Soy). I could go on and on about our stay there. Our only disappointment was, because of all the seaweed, we could not enjoy the beach.

We are currently at Sandals Royal and it’s gorgeous walking around on a night the smell of the beautiful gardens is heavenly. This is our first visit to a sandals resort and it won’t be our last, we have a swim up room and the guys keep the area immaculate. The food is lovely although a little slow sometimes and a couple of the restaurants have been closed, ( the monkey pub due to loosing the A/C) I’d advise booking early for the restaurants you fancy like well in advance as they get booked up very quickly. Most of the staff have been super friendly and couple of grumpy bar tenders but no one can be happy all the time right ? My only complaint is we are here to celebrate our 20 anniversary and we didn’t get any acknowledgement for it no happy anniversary on the bed ect despite booking the romantic package of a spa day and meal on the beach, I did however get a beautiful ruby and diamond upgrade engagement ring from the on site shop at a great price . The entertainment is lacking here but that suits us both really we like to just chill. We have met a few couples who had done lots of sandals resorts and all claim this is the worst one they have stayed at, one couple asked to upgrade to a swim up room x3 and 6 days later still no response 🤷‍♀️ However our stay has been wonderful and we shall deff do another. Sad to be leaving tomorrow Thanks sandals 😊

Just come back from this fantastic resort. It’s two resorts in one which gives you the double the fun with the amount of pools and restaurants. I unfortunately broke my ankle 3 weeks before we arrived, and the staff could not be more helpful and welcoming. Our butlers Shaquille, Latoya and Mya really couldn’t do any more. We had a Rondoval room which was fantastic and the management had made Ramps for me to get in and out with a wheel chair. Thanks to Jon Patrick (resort manger) and Bruno (general manger) for your kind hospitality. Nikita in loyalty and travel is fantastic too. You may need orientation if you haven’t been here before as both Barbados and Royal Barbados mingle in to one. Booking Butches chop house is a must and there is another butches in Barbados as well. The roof top pool is great for views and the Parisienne restaurant up there is great too. Best breakfast is in Green house by the quiet oasis pool. There are several pools from quiet,swim up bar and noisy, so take your pick. Definitely our fav resort, and we will be going back. Thanks to all the staff for a fantastic holiday.

This hotel was clean, comfortable, the stuff were professional, they said breakfast, Hal access to computers and a TV room, there was a public swimming swimming pool, access to clean linen and there was also a fridge and small coffee maker in the room

In summary, I’ve been to Barbados several times in a few months this year. Every single time, I’ve had horrible service from staff and the experience of the hotels, (other marriotts included) were borderline unwelcoming. THIS Marriott, on the other hand.. from the moment I arrived. The front desk staff were so welcoming and wonderful. At breakfast, Debrah, she single handedly made my experience the best. I looked forward to waking up just to meet her at breakfast. The staff were so polite, welcoming, and customer service oriented. The bar staff at lunch were wonderful, the cleaning staff were kind, and the general stay was beyond expectations for Barbados. They really upheld the Marriott international standard. Whoever the manager is for this hotel, understands the requirements of Marriott and they control their team the RIGHT way. The hotel was clean, AC worked well, room was comfortable, location was excellent, pool closes at 11pm for the late night swimmers. I would recommend this Marriott over the majority of hotels in Barbados simply due to their efficiency and consistency of service during my stay.

Following a diverted flight due to fly to London, but went back to Barbados, we had nowhere to stay and were exhausted. We made this last minute booking and the staff were exceptional. They managed to turn the room around 4 hours before it was due to allow us to sleep. They allowed us to grab a pass to the pool so we could try and nap on the sunbeds before the room was ready, they helped get us a taxi to the airport. Ultimately they showed an immense duty of care - we will be forever grateful to them for this!

I liked that it was near to places of interest in the neighborhood, it was modern, the food was great, the staff were helpful and pleasant. Can't wait to stay there again. The gym was also an added bonus with a beautiful view of the pool.

Great hotel, staff, food, pool and amenities. Live to go again.
