Upon checking in, we were handed a glass of champagne and refreshing cold towel, and were quickly checked in our deluxe cottage which was located centrally within the resort in lush gardens, opposite the Caribbean pool. The room itself was a little shabby, certainly not deluxe by any means, with a very poor bathroom and shower. I was expecting much... More

Anyone considering this resort BEWARE, this resort is not worth the price we paid. We stayed at sandals grande antigua the week of 3/11/13 and paid $6400.00 for a one week stay for 2 people. I have paid less at other resorts and have had better experiences. Let me start off by saying I am an experienced traveler especially in... More

From the get go things were top notch, the drive from the airport was a mere 15 minutes as compared to the 45 it took from La Toc in St. Lucia. The drivers are still crazy there, but at... More
