    The staff, including Antonio and the female waitress, provided exceptional service, making us feel at home. Our waiter at Elenors was great, and Selena at reception was always helpful. The dive instructor, Urantis, was patient and knowledgeable. The resort had a beautiful beach, clean pools, and excellent water activities. The Japanese restaurant, Kimonos, had delicious food and a friendly chef. the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    I had an amazing time at Sandals Grande Antigua. The location was excellent, with beautiful weather throughout my stay. The Cafe de Bistro and the pizza at the resort were exceptional. I also enjoyed dining at the Barefoot restaurant and the Courtyard Cafe. The big pool and the beach were perfect for relaxing, and the entire area was clean and well-maintained. The Photoshop at the resort was a great convenience for capturing memories. I highly recommend this hotel.

    The location was perfect, with a lovely beach accessible in a short walk. The views were breathtaking and the atmosphere was relaxing. The pool area was beautiful and well-maintained, with plenty of space to lounge.

    The staff seemed to prioritize selling extras and upgrades over providing attentive service.

    Our stay at this hotel was a memorable and luxurious experience. The exclusive amenities offered satisfied our need for relaxation and leisure. The full-body massages and body wraps at the spa & wellness centre were rejuvenating. The outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi provided a breathtaking view of the beachfront. The restaurant served exquisite dishes that catered to our dietary needs. The private facilities, including our own treatment room, made our stay intimate and comfortable. The location advantages offered access to a sun terrace and garden area that provided a serene environment.

    We encountered a minor issue with the service at the bar/lounge area. The staff seemed overworked, and the service was slow.

    Exceptional service by attentive staff, friendly and helpful. Great energy from Antonio and the female waitress. Excellent waiter at Elenors. Selena on reception was exceptional. Hotdog guy Kosie was brilliant. Dive instructor Urantis was patient, knowledgeable, and a great person. Beautiful beach and awesome pools. Good food and comprehensive drink selection. Plenty of activities during the day and nice shows at night. Wonderful singing goodbye.

    Nothing bad to say.

    My partner and I recently stayed at Sandals Grande Antigua and it was an exceptional experience. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home and provided impeccable customer service. One particular waiter, Antonio, stood out with his friendly and energetic attitude. He was always there to help and chat with us, truly a credit to himself and the Sandals group. The other female waitress was also brilliant, displaying the same level of excellence. Our waiter at Elenor's was great, allowing us to try the special and offering excellent recommendations. Selena at reception was always happy to assist and provide local tour advice. Kosie, the hotdog guy, was friendly and always made us feel welcome. Lastly, our dive instructor, Urantis , was patient, knowledgeable. the staff at Sandals Grande Antigua made our stay truly memorable.

    I just want to mention that we had a few minor issues during our stay. The older part of the resort could use some renovations in certain areas.

    I had a wonderful time at Sandals Grande Antigua. The beach was absolutely stunning, with clear turquoise waters and soft white sand. I enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking, which were easy to book and included in my stay. The staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. The Japanese restaurant, Kimonos, stood out with its delicious food and entertaining chef. The resort was not overcrowded, so I had plenty of space to relax by the pool or on the beach. I had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Although the resort was beautiful, I did notice some areas in need of renovation, particularly in the older part of the hotel. Additionally, I did have to wait a while during check-in, and there was no pool service available.

    The breakfast buffet was delicious and had a great variety of options. The location of the hotel was perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach. the pool area was clean and well-maintained, providing a relaxing spot to unwind and soak up the sun.

    Some of the facilities seemed outdated and in need of repair. the staff's level of service was not up to par, as they seemed disinterested and unhelpful at times.

    Just spent New Year in the most amazing place! Loved the delicious complimentary drinks and the amazing beach location, with crystal-clear waters and beautiful views. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting me with a smile. Plus, the live entertainment in the evenings was fantastic!

    Some areas of the hotel were in need of a little attention. The bathroom felt a bit outdated and could use some refurbishment.

    We loved the hotel facilities, including the beautiful pools and the lovely beach located close to the hotel. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which was delicious and had a variety of options. Additionally, the hotel was conveniently located not too far from the airport, making transportation easy.

    Nothing for us.

    During our romantic escape, we had a great time relaxing by the beautiful beach and enjoying the awesome pools. The water activities were easy to book, and we loved trying out snorkeling and kayaking. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making us feel at home. We also enjoyed the tasty breakfast and comprehensive drink options offered.

    Some of the restaurants and items on the menu were not available for us, and constantly being pestered by staff for upgrades was a bit annoying. The wifi was useless unless we paid to upgrade, and the constant interruptions from staff trying to sell us more items ruined the pool's peaceful atmosphere.
