Excellent video tour, thank you. Was thinking of going mid December time. Is the weather still nice at this time of year for swimming and water sports at beach?
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! 🤗❤️🏝
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?
We are thinking about going here later this year. From the video, it looks a little quiet and the pools were pretty empty. Was this the vibe for most of the time? We were kind of expecting a little more of a lively atmosphere.
Hi Jeffrey! This video was filmed early in the morning before most people were up, so it definitely fills up later in the day! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝️
I am so excited and leave for my wedding Test Drive for Sandals Royal Barbados on the 15th of May. Then for our wedding I got us the round room for ten night :D :D :D :D I am so excited!!!!
Hi John! We filmed this is March of 2022! I think because it is such a big resort there is a lot of space for people to spread to so it doesn't feel very crowded! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝
@@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.
Great video, thanks so much! What was it like behind the St. Lawrence Building or Poinciana Building? Did they back up to one of the resorts, or to the town?
Hi Erin! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! The Poinciana building backs up to a residential road/homes. The St. Lawrence building does as well, but with a bit of back of house in between. 😁 Happy Travels!
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!
Great video! Questions, are the beds / cabanas throughout the resort first come first served or reserved for a fee? Also, how long is the walk from Royal Barbados Wahoo building to Sushi restaurant on Sandals Barbados side? Thank you!
@@HoffmanHappyTravels thank you for your response...we've just came back from Turtle Beach, have to say Sandals looked awesome on your vlogs...thank you for the tour, loved it❤
@@helenadams9162 yes, you were in a very good part of the island....close enough to WALK to other great resorts such as Sandals, stores, supermarkets, beaches, restaurants, etc. What are prices per night like now at Turtle Beach resort? I can recall what they were 10 to 20 years ago....so almost afraid to ask now. [smile]
@@HoffmanHappyTravels Hi there enjoyed the video, I have a question for you I'm retiring from my job January 10th 2023 and my wife and I and my 3 adult children are going to take a vacation to celebrate this occasion and were not sure where to go would you be able to recommend something for us?? thanks for your feedback!
@@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.
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!
Hi, the rooms on the 1rst floor to your right in front of the Lagoon pool that are not swim ups. What category rooms are they? And which building is this? Also room numbers if you have them. Thank you so much! I'm try to look for a non swim up room that you can walk right out to a lagoon.
Hi,I loved this video but question... why does it look so empty?? I personally don’t like places too crowded but this is a little too empty and not too inviting...
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.
Hi Monique! Thanks so much for watching! You can’t go wrong, but personally, we liked Barbados the best. You get two resorts in one location! We would love to assist you with booking, and our services are completely free to you! You won’t pay a single cent more than you would booking direct on your own, and you we’ll be here to assist you the rest of the way. We’ll answer your questions, modify your booking if necessary, and call/wait on hold so you don’t have to! Feel free to shoot an email to Matt.Hoffman@CruisePlanners.com and we can discuss specifics. 😁 Happy Travels!
I swear I’m buying you a new mic if it’s the last thing I do lol. But seriously thank you for the great videos. How’s the night life scene? Entertainment? Thanks again.
Hi BellyUp! Thanks for watching! Sorry, but can you explain what you mean about the mic? It looks like this is the third time you’ve mentioned it, despite different mics being used. We haven’t received any other comments about it, so just not sure what you’re referring to? Thanks! 😁
@@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.
Hi jk9161! Thanks for watching! Well, unfortunately, we don’t have access to other peoples rooms. We can’t just walk into someone else’s room and start filming. However, we did film a full tour of our room. We also were able to briefly show certain categories of other rooms that Sandals took us into on a tour. You can find those videos in our Sandals Barbados playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLCyraoOfmP27zDB8inWiYyh1zAf-1Gigv.html 😁 Happy Travels!
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.
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.
You did a awesome job from beginning to end of the Tour love the map idea two thumbs up 👍👍
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed and that the map was helpful! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝

Hi! There may be a slight weather difference but most of the Caribbean is pretty consistent year around! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝️
Great video! They really added a lot to the resort since we were there five years ago. Now I’m excited to go back.
Hi! That's awesome! It's definitely worth a revisit, its a gorgeous resort! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝

Hello. I’m looking to go Aug 30-sept 06. Which one of the 3 would you do. Barbados , Dunsriver , or sandals Curacao ?

Hi Mike! That's so exciting! 🤩 We hope you have a great test run and of course a wonderful wedding! Congratulations! 🎉🥂👏 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️
When did you film this? Like what month, it wasn’t too crowded and we’d like that.
Hi John! We filmed this is March of 2022! I think because it is such a big resort there is a lot of space for people to spread to so it doesn't feel very crowded! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝

Is it all inclusive even the infinity pools in the sky bar?
Hi Angelswings! Yes! It is all included! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝
Great video and lots of detail . Thank you
Oh …. The word Rendevous is pronounced Ron- day- voo. It’s French 😂👍
Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🩴
Again, do they provide day passes for cruisers.
Lmao, no
The last time we asked they still sold day passes when they are available but you cannot find this out until day of. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Does resort have a way to get around for seniors.
Great video!
Questions, are the beds / cabanas throughout the resort first come first served or reserved for a fee?
Also, how long is the walk from Royal Barbados Wahoo building to Sushi restaurant on Sandals Barbados side? Thank you!
Yes, the cabanas are first come first serve.
The walk to the Sushi Restaurant from the Wahoo building is about two minutes.
Is this the one next to Turtle Beach?
Hi Helen! I believe Both Sandals Barbados resorts are near Turtle Beach. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝

Hi,I loved this video but question... why does it look so empty?? I personally don’t like places too crowded but this is a little too empty and not too inviting...
Hi Zach! It only looked that way because Matt got up early to film the tour. There are usually more people out and about! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝

What does dressed up for dinner mean for the resort? What type of clothes?
Hi Bobsled! Usually at the restaurants that have a dress code means, no T-shirts or shorts. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝
Where are all the people?
Hi Keith! Matt filmed the tour early in the morning so most people were probably still in bed! lol Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🏝️
im currently torn between this resort and montego bay. which one do you think is a better resort?
