Hey @neilgillespiue3025. I go back and forth between a nice Sony A7C with a fixed G master lens to a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 depending on what I want to carry around the different resorts :)
One beach area is no swimming. The other beach area to the right is down a canal of sorts and has a dock the kind of outlines the entire swimming area and separates it from the boat traffic going in and out of the marina. The Dive training spot is right there, but for snorkeling I would do the Sandals free snorkeling boat.
Hey @Terrythomas2798 I was just there recently. Be sure to watch my Sandals Barbados video too. I loved it but if you read the comments on that youtube video you will see that some people had not great service. The resort is stunning at both Sandals Barbados properties and they literally are 6 feet apart so that's very nice. You get two resorts in one. :)
At Sandals Curacao the service was some of the best service I have had at any resort anywhere in the World. It was top notch at Sandals Curacoa. Sandals Barbados / Sandals Royal Barbados I had service that was fantastic but I also ran into people on staff at both Sandals Barbados Resorts that should never be in the hospitality industry. If you have bad service at Sandals Barbados resorts you need to set up a meeting with the GM. If you are booked with us at Pixie Vacations, we know the staff and managers at all the Sandals resorts and will get any concerns addressed with the correct people onsite. I would say Barbados overall as an island seems to have this vibe from some people that they just want to do the bare minimum. I guess this is in every country but it seemed more prevalent to me on this island with just some people at the airport, or shopping, etc. It might have been just my luck that I ran into people that were having a bad day at times, because there are loads of people that come back year after year. I would just be aware.

Great video! Thank you. Im debating Barbados, Grenada, and Curacao to celebrate my 55th 🎂.
@Monica-70 I'd recommend Sandals Curacao or Sandals Grenada. I'd pass on Sandals Barbados over those those two options :). Happy 55th :)
Nice video
What exact room type is yours? Sunchi? Subi? Carisia? Wanting to try the resort
Nice camera work…. What kind of camera and setting are you using?

Can you snorkel right there? Or do you go on a boat?
