Make sure you make reservations for Kimonos, Eleanors, and OK Corral when you arrive since all three book up quickly. Eleanors (Caribbean) was the best restaurant, but we didn't have a bad meal the entire week were there.

Less than perfect honeymoon

Newlywed Mar 3, 2009

We were on our honeymoon. When our luggage was lost by the airline, the hotel reassured us all week that they would help to ... recover it. However, every time we asked about the status, we got a different answer, and our luggage never arrived. We were extremly dissappointed with the food quality and selection. We felt our food choices were limited and the quality was poor every time we ate. Had we not been on our honeymoon, this trip would have been miserable. We had no luggage, no camera, and no books. The poor quality of the food made us never want to return to another Sandals resort again.

Great Honeymoon Spot

Susana Aug 23, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa was amazing. Everything from the food to the pool and the beach. Top notch and anyone ... having a negative experience at this amazing place would purely have it due to something they have done and not because of the quality of this hotel. Both my husband and I loved the food, the daily and nightly activities, the asthetic beauty of the island and particularly Sandals. We would love to come back here and will be telling all of our friends about our great experience for years to come.

Donna Apr 12, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

This was a very nice hotel. Great pools and amenities. However, making reservations was pain staking. We only got to eat ... at one of the reservation oriented resaraunts because they were booked up every night. Other than that the food was good. Service was average but not great like I had been told and expected. With all being said I would go back again but, reservation methods need to change.
