We have stayed in some luxury hotels and found the staff to be fawning and insincere and the punters to be haughty and standoffish. This great little hotel suffers from neither affliction. Everything is geared up to make you feel comfortable and pampered (rather than for show). The result is a great atmosphere and a great holiday. The only downside... More

We have just finished our first trip to Barbados and the Sandpiper. We have been very impressed. We were upgraded to a suite which was a lovely surprise. The room was quiet. It was kept very clean throughout the week. The Sandpiper isn't glitzy and impersonal like some of the big 5* hotels. It has a very friendly feel to... More

From the moment we arrived we were treated so unbelievably well by the staff and the management. The hotel is intimate and an oasis on the west coast and we really enjoyed that aspect. The Beach and water (though was considered rough for our stay) was beautiful and the swimming was really nice. The food and the table service is... More

Welcome back, said the duty manager as he showed us to our room. Blink. It's ten years since our last visit to the Sandpiper but they hadn't forgotten us, which is one of the things that just keeps people coming back time and again. Personal, informal, friendly, private and everyone treated like royalty. We've stayed in the lovely suites on... More

The hotel is so close to the beach, you can hear the waves when you are in the room or at the balcony which was huge. We were upgraded to a suite and that was just a wonderful surprise. The manager gave us a little tour around the grounds and already before we entered the room it was a fantastic... More

We stayed at The Sandpiper for 3 nights and were glad not to have stayed for longer. The hotel feels cramped and claustrophobic and the road noise is unacceptable. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite which was nice but bathroom a bit small. The area available for sunbathing is a bit of a joke - everyone crammed in like sardines.... More

Back again for the umph time and everything just that little bit better. There was even a great new female vocalist in the restaurant. Full marks to Wayne, Russell, Carlos, Henderson and the whole team. It was a pleasure as usual.

We revisited the restaurant at the Sandpiper after an earlier experience which was not good at all. What a difference. This time, as well as excellent food (a given) the service was immaculate and the atmosphere, helped by a brilliant singer and backing band, was fabulous. Couldn''t fault it at all. Everyone deserves a second chance and they will certainly... More
