We stayed at The Sandpiper from Tuesday to Monday and had a truly phenomenal time. The hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful and peaceful — the perfect place to relax. What really stood out was the service: everyone on the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. Any time we needed something, they were quick to help, and even if it wasn’t readily available, they found a way to assist. Overall, a wonderful stay and an excellent experience. We hope to return!

This was our 1st time at The SandPiper and everything about our experience was exceptional from the time we arrived until we left. No delay in being taken to our room, our luggage already waiting allowing us to get settled in. The entire place was clean and tidy. The staff takes a lot of pride in the hotel. We had a garden view room and we loved having a cup of coffee on the deck each morning. The breakfast was amazing as well as our beautifully presented meals. Given the resort is on the west side of the island, the view of the sunsets each night was amazing. We ate dinner in the restaurant and had bar food a couple of times during our stay, both were great. We had a wonderful stay at The SandPiper and we'd definitely recommend. A perfect stay.

10/10 Exceptional

My stay at The Sandpiper was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and valued. Every detail was handled with warmth, professionalism, and true Bajan hospitality. 🌴☀️ The service was absolutely top-tier — attentive, accommodating, and always delivered with a smile. The resort itself is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly located, but what truly made this trip unforgettable was the people. The team went above and beyond to ensure every moment felt special, relaxing, and effortless. This was easily one of the best trips I’ve ever taken, and I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and memories created at The Sandpiper. If you’re looking for luxury, tranquility, world-class hospitality, and an authentic Barbados experience, this is the place to stay. Thank you again to the entire Sandpiper team for making this trip one for the books. I will absolutely be back.

Short business trip

Excellent hotel in Holetown directly on the beach and a short walk to all the shops and restaurants. Lovely staff, good food and well furnished large rooms in a traditional Barbados style. I stayed there for a work trip but it is a great base for a holiday. I will return

Absolutely superb!

Amazing hotel, as a returning guest, all the staff were as helpful as ever delivering a personal yet professional service. It’s great to have them all back after 6 months of closure! They also arranged my fast track at the airport, transportation and my Covid test which came back in 20 hours meaning quarantine was a short process!
