Sandals Antigua is the ideal getaway destination for couples, having been voted the “world’s most romantic resort.” The 27 acres of lush tropical landscaping that surround Sandals Antigua are home to a gorgeous beach, elegant suites, and a variety of related activities.

Arriving at Sandals Grande Antigua

You will fly into VC Bird International Airport to get to Sandals Grande Antigua for your honeymoon or couples getaway.
To start your vacation as soon as possible, you check in at the Sandals desk at the airport. After that, you can take advantage of a free 15-minute shuttle ride to the resort.
The resort is only ten minutes from St. John’s, the capital of Antigua, and only a short 15 minutes’ drive from the V. C. Bird International Airport. We left Toronto for Antigua in just four hours, so we didn’t waste any time and right away began to enjoy our getaway at Sandals Grande Antigua.

Sandals Antigua Rooms and Suites

Whichever Sandals Antigua Room you select, your trip will be delightful. You might be asking yourself, “Why would I spend money on an upgraded room when I’m going to be at the beach all day .” You might be surprised to learn that a room upgrade involves a lot more. Well…

We stayed in a Mediterranean Oceanview Penthouse with a One Bedroom Butler Suite, which included a living room and bedroom that were separate and had amazing views of the resort.
A range of rooms and suites are available at Sandals Antigua, found in beachside villages in the Caribbean or Mediterranean. The Mediterranean Villa with Private Pool Sanctuary is a fantastic getaway for honeymooners. It features a separate living area, a bathroom with a Roman whirlpool tub and a walk-in rain shower, with water views from the private garden with a pool.
There is a personal butler available at this villa.
There’s no shortage of other options for suites and rooms with garden, ocean, or beach views, and with or without butler service.

Sandals Antigua Restaurants

There are 11 restaurants and 7 bars at Sandals Antigua, offering a variety of cuisines including Japanese,French, British, American, Italian, and even Tex Mex. We definitely found some favourites after a week here, among the eateries, buffets, and sweets.

You won’t regret coming to Coco Café early for some freshly made chocolate chip cookies before they disappear.
For the tastiest breakfast and lunch buffets, visit Mario’s Italian restaurant. The Mexican, Asian, and Italian buffets were excellent, with daily themes changing. There was always fresh fruit, bread, pastries, and most importantly, bacon, at the breakfast buffets. among plenty of other things that were ever-changing.
Savour the Ok Corral Tex Mex kitchen’s fine Mexican cuisine while taking in the view. From wherever you sit, take in views of the chefs and your surroundings. You can watch them cook from the comfort of your table because all the tables are arranged around the kitchen.
Enjoy freshly made sushi in a cosy setting at Soy Sushi Bar. With its more intimate setting and more private Japanese cuisine, it’s a great substitute for Kimono’s Teppanyaki table. Experience unlimited servings of premium, freshly made sushi in a stylish setting. You can watch the chefs prepare your food up close at the high table seating.
Get something tasty for lunch at Doggies Hot Dog Stand, open from noon to 3 p.m. The ultimate All-American (or Canadian) treat is a Margarita pizza from Bella Napoli. Here, you can also personalise your wood-fired pizzas, so be artistic.

Sandals Antigua Drink Review

The Sandal Grande Antigua includes seven bars, including a tiki bar and a swim-up bar.
There are swim up bars at two of the pools, which makes getting a drink really simple.
You can indulge to the fullest because, like at every Sandals resort, all meals, snacks, and drinks are included in the price of your stay! Also included is room service.

What to Do at Sandals Antigua

There are plenty of things to do while visiting Sandals Antigua. Relax on the nearly two-mile stretch of powder-soft white sand while swimming in the stunning Dickenson Bay’s turquoise waters.

At Sandals Antigua, the calm waters are ideal for water sports. Free water sports offered include windsurfing, snorkelling, paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, scuba diving, and Hobie Cat sailing. It even includes professional instruction in watersports (scuba diving excluded).
If you’d rather stay on land, there’s yoga classes, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, basketball, tennis (day and night), table tennis, croquet, and beach volleyball.
Take a dip in one of the six pools or four whirlpools, pamper yourself at the spa, or explore the lovely grounds, which are filled with secluded, romantic areas.
Theme nights, talent shows, dance classes, chocolate parties, karaoke, a piano bar, beach parties and live music are just a few of the daily and evening entertainment options. Sandals Antigua is ideally situated for gorgeous sunsets over Dickenson Bay, so be sure to catch it.

Sandals Antigua Excursions

We had the opportunity to leave the resort twice while we were there, and we absolutely loved it.
Joining a cooking class at Nicole’s Table was the high point. We made some delicious food there, and it took a little over fifteen minutes to get to from the resort.
As we prepared the main dish, Abby’s West Indian Curry, Dhal Puri Roti, Roasted Pumpkin, and Spinach Cooked in Coconut Milk, we began by making Nicole’s Old Fashioned Rum Punch and Coconut Crisps to munch on.
The curry went perfectly with the roti, which was delicious. We were quite full after the rum tasting because the island cuisine is so heavy.
We also visited Sheer Rocks, a restaurant with reserved swimming areas.
Visiting Stingray City to see the stingrays was a wonderful choice that we planned to try but we were short of time.

Sandals Antigua SPA

Give yourself a treat by having your butler schedule a visit to the Red Lane Spa. I had a private 60 minute Neroli Jasmine Candle Massage, which included a massage oil candle to take home. These oil candles are a wonderful way to carry the spa experience home, and I love souvenirs. With tasteful changing and waiting areas, personalised scents, and calm mood lighting, the staff makes sure that guests have a pleasant experience.
You can use the trendy outdoor water therapies in addition to your treatment reservation. To guarantee some privacy, schedule an appointment with the spa in advance.

Your butler can arrange for your return transport, luggage pickup, and an escort to the check-out lounge ahead of your departure. And until your next visit, pick up some Sandals Resorts souvenirs from the gift shop to remember your trips. We had such amazing times here, and we hope our review of the Sandals Grande Antigua was helpful in providing some advice.
