The Sandpiper

I cannot praise this hotel enough. Everything always runs like clockwork. The rooms are really well maintained. All the staff are simply delightful nothing is ever too much trouble . I’m so glad we made the decision to return and definitely will be back again. Thanks All.

Colonial cherrywood bungalows nestling in amongst lush verdant planting with smooth pathways linking each one. Each bungalow hosting a super plus king-size bed you almost needed a step ladder to get onto. Well-dressed in monogrammed million thread count sheets waiting to comfort the weary travellers. A row of tropical orange cushions chopped to perfection bringing the outside in. A pair of matching rattan sun loungers romantically placed together and surrounded in lush greenery for privacy. A giant clamshell serves as a personalised foot bath for each bungalow. 48 rooms only in the hotel, small and select just as we had imagined. A stunningly breath-taking sunset was on its way shortly after arrival, orange, crimson and yellow tinged humid skies, reflecting on the horizon, just like the photos. The frogs starting their evening chants. Harold's Hug is the best, like visiting an old friend, with the whitest of smiles and tennis shoes to match. The Minuty on ice, does life really get any better than this? Soft gentle waves kissing the pepper white sand. Locals frolicking in the warm in the shallows of the calm warm Caribbean Sea, laughing and playing, inter-generational gatherings washing away their work and school days. ‘Can you imagine, this experience? Well it's all true, every word. The humid hug of the Caribbean complimented by the most attentive staff, this truly its paradise. All the F's here, Fun, Friendliness & Fabulous Food. & The Food & The Breakfasts, oh & the Lunches, catering for every taste, the new juice bar, personalised cold remedies (in my case) attentively delivered with a smile. If you don't like crowds, if you love understated attentive (not in your face) service & a 'Get Away From It All Feeling, this is your place. We visit out of season, October, we love it then, quiet, chilled so we can soak up every aspect of the beauty it has to offer. Barbados is a year round resort, we have visited at several different times of the year and despite the liquid sunshine on some afternoons the weather has always been amazing. You also meet wonderful people there, it's like a group of friends returning year after year to share the best a holiday can offer. There's no place like this place, so this Must Be THE PLACE!

Ken and team ensured our experience was faultless. We travelled with another family and felt at home as soon as we arrived. The Colleagues deliver a genuine and friendly service experience. Daily breakfast is a treat and lunch at Harolds by the beach, drinking a lovely Rose along with authentic Caribbean dishes is truly memorable. Thank you again for an enjoyable short break.
