We’ve stayed at many all-inclusive resorts, and Sandals Royal Bahamian was a mixed experience. The included airport transportation was convenient and stress-free. Upon arrival, we checked in early and were encouraged to explore the grounds while waiting for our room, which was nice. However, the beach lounger situation was extremely frustrating. We were told loungers were "first come, first serve," but when we woke up at 6 AM to reserve one, they were already taken. We later discovered the “butler elite” guests had their butlers place old books down the night before, later replacing them with coolers. Despite complaining to concierge, nothing changed. This felt incredibly unfair and unlike any other resort we’ve visited. As for the food, the food trucks were good, and I enjoyed the chicken pesto panini at Calico and the eggs Benedict at the French restaurant. The French fries were consistently good, but most of the food was dry and underwhelming. The beach itself was also smaller than expected, so don’t let the photos fool you. While the staff was friendly, the overall experience did not match the luxury Sandals brand we were promised. For the price, we expected much more, especially in terms of fairness and food quality.

I just returned from the Sandals in Bahamas. I arrived on Wednesday evening 12/11 and left Monday morning 12/16. Despite the Expedia and Trip Advisor reviews, I still decided to take a chance on this resort, as I’ve always wanted to stay at a Sandals. First off, the private island was the main reason I booked this hotel and it was closed the entire time. This was extremely disheartening. The smell on the 5th floor hallway in the East Bay building was gut wrenching. I took the stairs a few times and saw several (15 to 20) room service plates/trays stacked. This could be causing the cockroach issue. Yes - I saw cockroaches in the Queens Pearl Bar/Restaurant. In addition, pools and jacuzzis were cold and game room was super hot. Overall, my first Sandals experience was disappointing and not what I anticipated to say the least.

The property is close to the airport and the beach and property itself was nice. The major con of this resort is how it is managed and the customer service. We were only there for 3 nights and could not get reservations at the restaurants The check in process was extremely slow. Service at the restaurants and in general was sub par. As a small example, the water in our room was not restocked and I had to call 4 times before someone brought water. The best run operation at the resort was the food trucks. They were fast, friendly and offered great customer service. Other than the food trucks, service was extremely slow and the staff seemed extremely unhappy.

I am usually not one to write a review, but I felt it necessary to take the time in this case. I am well traveled and have been to dozens of all inclusive in a variety of countries. While this resort was clean, the transportation to the resort was seamless, the "service" was terrible. I can understand "island time" and I was never in a rush whatsoever, but when it takes 30-45 min for someone to acknowledge and seat you in a half empty restaurant there is a problem. This happened 2 of 3 evenings, and 2 of 3 lunch times. When you ask the concierge face to face for a bottle of white wine for the room and they say not a problem every single time and it never shows up ever, there is an issue. The Beach = was full of seaweed The Entertainment = Was the worst I've ever experienced at a resort. The Service: Was worst I ever experienced at a resort. The Drinks: Were good, and not watered down. So that was a positive. For roughly $1200.00 CAN / Night I expected more from this resort that's for sure. I am glad we were only stuck there for 3 nights and not a week.

We did enjoy the deep pools, poolside cocktails, beach swimming, spa, seafood and steak, the view, transfer to/from airport and the staff members were friendly, sometimes crossing the line. The property felt like it needed updating. Hot tubs differed in temperatures, the quiet pool was cold and not enough side tables for drinks. Elevator electrical panels were open (West Side), some walls in restaurants needed cleaning, and there was chipped table wear including milk jugs etc. and we got a cracked poolside table. Our room needed a proper clean. Considerable hair on the floor, bathrobe and in the bedding (the bedding was clean). One of the towels had a hole in it. Stains on the kitchen walls and floor. Broken kettle. We had a young cockroach visit the bathroom. Another visit from an insect in a restaurant cooking space. At one restaurant we had to move tables because I was being dripped on and we discovered a large hole in the extractor fan. Other issues included being locked out of my room for 10 minutes because the batteries had failed and identifying a safety issue (raised with management and then immediately delegated) which the staff member failed to rectify so I removed the safety issue from the outside shower. The Butler Service was disappointing. It was rare to get exactly what we ordered without an issue. The pre arrival survey was mostly ignored. Offered a free night with the condition of an NDA and not to post a review. We declined.
