Stayed here for the first time after staying at the Coral Reef Club, Cobblers Cove and Royal Pavilion several times. We felt like a change.
It was ok, but not really for us. Harold???s Bar was great but found other staff distant. But the rub for us was our room (18) had a balcony above it which, one afternoon, was being prepared for a toddler. The noise and inconvenience was ridiculous. Then, the next day, the toddler arrived and wow, what a noise! Playing football on the balcony with doting parents who didn???t know the word ???shush???! We had to move to another room for the night - not aired and not as nice as 18. No apology - no one seemed to give a damn. So - we will stick with the other hotels on our return! You let us down Sandpiper.

Maybe we missed something? I just don???t see the same hype as the other reviewers lauded. Don???t get me wrong, it???s a nice small hotel. Close to Holetown and the beach was quiet when we were there last week. The drink was really weak and overpriced. Seating in the room was really uncomfortable and we had to pull the chairs from the patio. Front desk was not really that helpful. We told the lady last Monday that we needed a taxi to see the Crop Over parade. She called a taxi for us for $60 Barbados and we got dropped off at nowhere near the event site and totally ruined the experience! Very disappointed!

The Sandpiper is the best hotel in Barbados. You feel at home from the minute you arrive and are sad to leave. The rooms are comfortable and clean with all the amenities you need and if there is something you want they will always go out of their way to get it. The food is great and varied to suit all palettes. We have been coming back here for more than 10 years and having tried other hotels we wouldn???t go anywhere else.

This was our second stay at The Sandpiper, we were here last year as well and will be back again as we enjoyed our stay so much. The room was lovely, the food amazing as ever - we were half board so breakfast and dinner and even though we did choose to eat out a couple of times the food at The Sandpiper was on a par if not better than that of the best restaurants on the Island, we also ate at the sister hotel The Coral Reef and had a fabulosu meal there too on BBQ night. The staff at Sandpiper are fabulous and friendly and couldn't do enough for you without begin over the top. We love the fact that The Sandpiper is small and intimate the bar staff in Harolds bar are great and make the BEST cocktails , always happy to chat and remember what you like to drink! I cant recommend this beautiful little hotel enough - we will be back again next year!
