Sandals Resorts in Barbados
There are currently two Sandals Resorts in Barbados. The first is Sandals Barbados, and the other is Sandals Royal Barbados. While technically two resorts, you can stay at one and visit the other so you get two resorts for the price of one!

Guest Rooms and Suites at Sandals Barbados
The guest rooms and suites at Sandals Barbados are all luxurious. You’ll find three categories: luxury, club, and Butler. You can read more about the room categories at Sandals here: Sandals Resort Room Categories – Luxury vs. Club vs. Butler.
I recommend Butler-level, if you can, and the Sky Pools are my favorite.

Services and Amenities
Since the two Sandals Resorts in Barbados are so close, their services and amenities are interchangeable. If one resort doesn’t have an activity you are looking for, the other one most likely will. Thanks to your exchange privileges, you can enjoy activities everywhere!
In the water, you can scuba dive, snorkel, or go on a glass-bottom boat ride. Other water sports are also available.

On land, you have plenty of choices for activities, including tennis, beach volleyball, yoga, and more. Don’t forget; you can bowl at Lovers Lanes too.
You will find entertainment throughout the day and night. Some popular entertainment options include live bands, a chocolate buffet, and beach parties. You won’t want to miss out on the Barbados Day & Street Jamboree during your visit.
A day at the spa, land excursions and private cabanas are all extra. While these aren’t part of your all-inclusive deal, they are still considered a must on vacations. I have a blog post with ten things that are NOT included at Sandals, where you can learn more.
