Shanycole, it is much more than this video reveals. It is not just additions or upgrades to the original Sandals Resort, but an entirely new hotel, Sandals Royal, was built beside it. It did not exist 5 years ago....that is why you did not see it. [smile]

Hi Dawn! ❤️ YES! 100% argreed! The resorts individually are both great, but the real feature of them both is the fact that the two resorts basically create one huge resort! We loved it! Sandals is currently constructing a similar set up with two resorts in the Dunns Falls area in Jamaica! Can't wait to see how that turns out! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝

@@shawnburke1185 Congratulations to you for your major milestone! Did you get an answer to your important question? The truth is that there are hundreds of options in Barbados: from round-trip cruises with major cruise-lines, to all-inclusive resorts, to room-only resorts, to apartments, to guest-houses, et cetera. It depends on the time of year (tip: Summer is the cheapest time to go there!), on your budget, and on your preferences and schedule. You need to plan for at least one to two weeks to enjoy the island and to get a good sense of all that it has to offer. That way, you will be able to see what to prioritise in a short first visit and then so much more to anticipate in future visits. Barbados already had much more to do, to see, to taste, and to experience than most other destinations, but it keeps upgrading and adding new things e.g., the famous Harrison's Cave has been a wonder of the world for decades, but in the past two years, the new management company has greatly expanded the ancillary services, adventures, and trails. So even repeat guests to the island can find new thrills and pleasant surprises over the years.

We have just returned from a week in Sandals Royal Barbados. Stayed in Room 9219 near the tennis courts and enjoyed every single minute of our stay. I wish I had found your videos before we left because you have covered everything that makes the stay an incredible experience. You would have helped us on our first night there as we got a bit lost on our way back to our room!

The physical map you have is different the map online. Is south seas village separated into two sides? Section 17 isn’t on the online maps but is on your map. Thanks!

We have exactly 3 months today until we're there.. We can't wait!! I noticed that there's alot of space between the chairs and the water at the beach.. Silly question i guess, but can the chairs be moved closer to the water?

@@HoffmanHappyTravels Yes, much like the excellent design of large cruise-ships....so many lounges, restaurants, cafes, pools, and activities to keep people dispersed. E.g., Holland America's newest ship, Rotterdam, transforms the buffet area on Lido Deck into about 20 cafe-like stations. So even 2,000+ guests on a ship never need to feel like a crowd, even in the busiest complimentary restaurants.

Does resort have a way to get around for seniors.

MariaJose, that is part of the wonder of great resorts like Sandals Royal, great cruise-lines, and great island-destinations. To be around people when you want to have social interaction, but, otherwise, to feel more private, peaceful, and at a leisurely pace....nowhere crowded.....Sometimes, the same space or restaurant can have a very different atmosphere at 6:30 a.m. versus 8:45 a.m., for instance...or 5:30 p.m. for dinner versus 9 p.m....So nice to get away from traffic, crowds, long queues, noise pollution, air pollution, and such like, typical of big countries and big cities.

@@HoffmanHappyTravels no disrespect was intended, when you face camera sound is nice and loud, when behind camera it’s quiet and can hear everything around you. I have to crank up the volume and then get my ears blown out when the camera goes to front view. Go to the 43 second mark and then to 48 for the level difference- It’s not a deal breaker by any means but it’s definitely there. This video didn’t have a ton of background noise like other videos so it wasn’t as bad. Still appreciate the work you are putting in. Would love to hear a bit about entertainment in these resorts. If there is any. Thanks again. “It’s possible it’s my system causing the sound variance” not ruling that out. I will check my sound setup also I could have something going on.

My advice is go through a travel agent stay Sandal Barbados not Sandals Royale which is next door. l think they are call Dover room which are nice upgrade from a hotel room .For us we don’t need all the extra nice but $$$. First time going end this August price wasn’t too bad for two people. .Plus you don’t need 7 days if it’s not in your budget they always could not off days .We are going for 5 day including Round Airfare,plus pickup at the Airport everything is included.They always have great deals.

Are they requiring masks inside buildings right now?

@brentshuffler1234

Жыл бұрын

Haley Dunson, Yes, that was the norm up to a year ago. It is no longer required in most places, but, from public-health perspectives, handwashing, physical distancing, good sanitation, and face-masks are still HIGHLY recommended in all public indoor spaces where there are crowded conditions....e.g., in airports, in theatres, in large dining rooms, and during flights. Wearing a good quality mask costs practically zero, whilst being sick ruins a vacation,....and risks your life and/or that of others, given how many people are elderly, immuno-compromised, and already have chronic diseases that greatly increase their risks from COVID-19, pneumonia, and other infections. Measures like these have kept places like Barbados and Montserrat much safer and healthier than U.S.A., U.K. and other places that were overwhelmed with infections and deaths.
