What an experience to stay at Sandy Lane to celebrate my birthday. I was not familiar with Sandy Lane or Barbados, but let me tell you what a special island and place and people! From the moment you land and swiftly taken through customs and wisked away to your transfer, then greeted by the staff with drinks, towels and a tour and check in at your room you are made to feel special. We were lucky enough to be at Sandy Lane for one week and during that time we felt so taken care of by everyone. How do they remember your name, that in itself is amazing! And I was there during my birthday and everyone wished me a happy birthday. You can't beat that!! The Spa is stunning and again greeted so lovely by the front desk and we had the scalp massage, swedish and deep tissue massages which were all incredible. My hair has never been so soft after the oil rubbed in during the scalp massage. Loved the relaxation room to just chill. The breakfast is a bit overwhelming and I particularly loved the fresh fruits and the daily tropical smoothy. The mango yogurt is simply mango and yogurt which is fabulous. Dinner we sometimes sat and watched the sunset with a cocktail and ordered sushi which our favorite was the Emperor role. We tried the pizza which was delicious as well. For dinner at Bajan Blue our favorites were the wasabi shrimp appetizer and Beef and Broccoli. The rooms are incredibly well appointed. Beautiful closets and well thought out, large bathroom with one of the best showers! The outdoor balcony is just lovely and the view is almost surreal. Bedding was perfect...BUT we found the beds uncomfortable. A bit too soft for us. We were here during low season, so overall had no issues with beach chairs or pool chairs. Sandy Lane is beautiful/special place and I don't think we experienced all that it had to offer. But our opinion is that it is the staff is who are truly special. You can't say that of many places these days. Worth every penny. As a side note: They finished the replenishing the sand while we were there and the beach looks beautiful. I would recommend watching as you go into the water as there is some coral.

Well, there is never a bad thing to say about sandy lane. We LOVE this hotel, it's staff and the whole sandy lane experience. This visit made our 17th time returning and will always be our favourite place to come. The rooms are always immaculate, the food is stunning, the staff are soooo friendly, the pool is beautiful, sandy lane has one of the best spa's I have ever visited....so if you are reading trip advisor to determine whether you should stay at sandy lane....DO IT!! A personal shout out for some of the staff at Sandy Lane Richard, you continue to make us feel so welcome. You make us laugh and are just such a fun and caring guy. Thank you for looking after us as always! Ria from Bajan Blue, you made Sophie our daughter who was vegan at the time so welcome and relaxed about asking about vegan options( that was 2 years ago now) but ever since we met you that year you have welcomed us back like a member of family, you are a true gem! Reia the host at Bajan blue- this year is the first time we met you and you were so friendly, chatty and just an all around fun girl to chat to, it's your friendly and fun character that gives the hotel is personality! Stephanie and Jowan in the monkey bar- Stephanie has been an amazing girl in the bar for years now and we just want to express how much we enjoy her company in the bar, she is wonderful and a great bar girl, tamika is also a fantastic bar girl with great sense of humour and fun converstation. Jowan, I think, is pretty new, but absolutely is one of those characters that will stay at Sandy Lane and become a solid team member. He has outstanding bar tending skills and service. He had a great contagious smile and a fantastic sense of humour (don't go anywhere, Jowan, we will be back 2025) Shane and Tonya on the beach bar are always a pleasure to chat to and are amazing at their jobs. Thank you for always looking after us! Dwight, Obrian, and Rodney at the pool are always accommodating and great to chat to at the pool area. It's a fantastic service up there!! Larry at the beach is always a great face to see, always remembers you and makes sure you have a bed on the beach! Ashlene and Darren. A big thanks to you guys, Ashlene is always a friendly face, very helpful and good to chat to, Darren is a new team member and he was a diamond sorting our reservations for us this trip. A true gem! Finally thankyou to Alpha for becoming us back, and all the front of house team, we cannot wait to get back 2025! Keep doing what you're doing, you beauty!
