I was really excited for my stay at Sandals Royal Bahamian to celebrate my 20 year anniversary. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the experience I feel I should have had based on what I paid. There are pros and cons to this visit. The Pro’s - the employees are very polite and smiling all the time. Food options are good and better than most all inclusives I have been to. Activities at the fun pool were great and a good time. The Sandals island beach was great with a great setup. Cons - when I arrived I asked at the front desk if I was able to upgrade to an ocean view room and that I understand I would have to pay the difference. The room wasn’t available through Travelocity but sandals customer service said there was a room available and I would have to ask for it at check in. The person checking me in said they would let me know about the room and then never called or got back to me. There was a room that must have had a bad plumbing leak that caused the entire hallway area by our door to be soaked. Every time we came and went from our room it smelt and we had to walk in a saturated carpet. We had dinner at LaPlume and when we arrived the dining area was extremely hot. We asked the server and she said yes it is hot and the AC must not have been working. We were assuming that it would come back on soon but I didn’t. So we had to be in formal clothes (long pants for men) and had sweat dripping down our faces while we ate.

We were very disappointed in our stay at Sandals Royal Bahamian resort. 1 of the 2 rooms we booked was awful. The air conditioning was leaking the entire time we were there and the shower was only providing scolding hot water. We asked several times for both to be fixed. It took them two days to fix the water issue and they never fixed the air conditioner leak. The day before we left, the scolding hot water was back. So, technically, they never fixed it. We were not provided to move to other rooms or to be upgraded due to our issues or even money back. Additionally, my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and were supposed to have something special done for us in our room. They screwed that up as well by delivering the surprise to the wrong room. That was never rectified either. Based on this, we will likely never stay at another Sandals resort. The only thing good about the stay was the fabulous beaches and water, and the very nice Bahamian people.

The best thing about Sandals Royal Bahamian was the staff. Mickey at Butch's Chophouse made my birthday dinner INCREDIBLY special (one I will never forget) and brought the whole staff out to sing to me and bring a special cake. Rio was our photographer who was incredibly generous with his time and made us feel very comfortable while he posed and worked with us. His photography skills were amazing too! Finally, Prince served our private candle-lit dinner at the beach. He was so charming and funny. We are so thankful for all of the staff and service members who made our time at Sandals so fun and memorable.

Rain in the Bahamas’s

It rained all day everyday, not that anyone can chang that. The flight home on AA was horrible it was over 1 1/2 hr late. Uncomfortable saets squished like sardines. Very last seat on the back of the plan. Right by the bathroom and well you can guess how that went. lat group to board the plane on each flight. Travelocity is loosing our trust and we’ve used them 5+ yrs.
