Sandals Grande Antigua was by far the best trip that my wife and I have been on and we both speak from a well-traveled background. We chose this destination for our honeymoon, and definitely could not have picked a better resort! From the moment we ...Read more

This is why I felt the need to write this. I am very happy we ignored the many negative responses. Sandals Antigua was the best vacation my husband and I have ever been on. Let me be more specific. Upon arrival we were given a cold face cloth to freshen up and a glass of champagne to sip on while we checked in. We, like many other couples we spoke with, were upgrade to a beachfront room on the Caribbean side. We heard in other reviews that some of the rooms on the Caribbean side were out dated. This is somewhat true, but they were very clean and we could see the ocean from our bed. What more could you ask for? The majority of our days we spent poolside or at the beach. The pool was a great spot to lounge quietly, or mingle with the many friendly people around the huge pool bar. Although the pool was a bit chilly, it was very refreshing after sitting in the hot sun. We also read in some of the reviews that the locals on the beach were pushy and aggressive in trying to hawk their goods. This couldn?t be more false! For all the times we were at the beach my husband and I were approached a handful of times. Each time a simple ?no thank you? was returned with ?have a nice day?. The weather was in the mid 80s everyday and didn?t see a drop of rain. The food and the nightlife were very satisfying as well. Our favorite restaurant was Kimono?s. This is now the only restaurant you need reservations for now. We also enjoyed our lunch and dinners at Mario?s, Cricketer?s, and Barefoot by the Sea. The most romantic dinner we found to be Barefoot by the Sea with the white linen table cloths and candles flickering in the breeze while kicking your shoes off under the table and burying your feet in the sand while eating. It was great! Kimono?s was also great fun while eating in a group around a hibachi grill. The cooks were very entertaining. The two restaurants that offered breakfast were buffet style. They were also very good. In closing, our overall experience was great. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the food was great, and the beer and liquor were plentiful and of good quality. There were many excursion choices if you wanted to leave the resort. We found the resort to be very relaxing but also had plenty of activities to do also if we wished. The worst part of our trip, like any good vacation, was having to go home. No worries though we booked for next year before we left! Close
