Thoroughly underwhelming stay at what is our 3rd Sandals resort! Positives: The gym is great; the breakfast ideal as is the norm at Sandals and the bookable restaurants in particular of high quality (Butch's was great). The pools were nice (one loud/one quiet) and the evening entertainment was very enjoyable - Broadway show, live bands etc supported by the entertainment crew who were very enthusiastic! The day-to-day staff were always exceptionally warm, friendly and helpful - despite seemingly being constantly on-shift (that part not being a positive). Negatives: Our West Bay room smelled damp/musty so we were surprised to read that the resort had been upgraded as recently as 2022 (we heard another couple mention the same smell in their room too). The low-light of the trip was when we got trapped in the elevator - a lift that had been put back in service from a couple of days out of service already. With the cart stuck halfway in-between floors, a maintenance team member attended quickly (kudos) but then forcing the doors open (and having to fight to hold them there as the doors kept trying to close on us) whilst we had to vault out in what was a very unsafe situation (lucky we are young/fit enough to do so quickly but that is not the point). There is clearly a distinct lack of management processes to account for such customer incidents as there was no follow-up even after we later decided to mention it to concierge (who informed somebody on the phone at the time) and despite us supposedly being a "Tender Loving Care" room (our rep had no knowledge of the incident a few nights later when they made first contact on night 7 of 9). We're generally pretty low-profile / low maintenance so don't encourage much attention but this feels like an incident that would be addressed at a high-end resort that values it's guests, especially when we were celebrating our engagement! Unsurprisingly we got our steps in using the stairs up and down to the 4th floor for the 6 or so days after that! Other "first world problems" included >1hr wait in a queue for lunch on the island (which itself was otherwise a delightful retreat); towels being taken out of the bathroom and not replaced multiple times; a lack of hot water on a couple of days and; the strange smell on the Pier (which I don't believe was due to the heavy Sargassum/seaweed which plagued what would otherwise have been a very nice, if small, Sandals exclusive part of the beach). Also a 1hr 45min wait for a Pizza by the pool when a staff member insisted that he get them for us (for some bizarre reason if the staff place an order on behalf of guests, their order goes to the back of the queue every time a new guest orders, so we'd have been better off ordering ourselves if we'd known this - we nearly did anyway but didn't want to double order 🤷🏻‍♂️). Overall, a disappointing experience given what we've previously experienced at other Sandals resorts, but with some positives at least from time spent in the sun by the pool 🌞

This trip was wonderful! From the trip from the airport in the Rolls to the resort everything was phenomenal! Derron and CeCe were our butlers and their service was top notch! Derron made my birthday extra special and CeCe made sure I had all the dirty martini fixings in my room! Thank you for the best time! We really enjoyed all the water choices. The quiet pool was relaxing and a great day spot to lounge and read. The fun pool had great activities led by Leah and her crew. We enjoyed the private island that had plenty of loungers and made for a great afternoon in the sun. Overall the food was good, our favorite was Soy but we love to have Sushi daily if we can. Butchs was great with amazing service. The travel and loyalty lounge is a must visit for us and we had great service with Chereese. I enjoyed a facial at the spa and Shakira made the experience wonderful recommending a very helpful product! We’ve been to 6 different properties and feel like Royal Bahamian had some of the best room service in terms of timeliness and freshness. Our room was always cleaned well with plenty of towels and Red Lane Spa amenities.

We had a great time at this resort. Went with four other couples. There were activities during the day or just lounging. The private island was really cool to experience as well. Food was very good all around. Staff was incredibly nice. Transportation from the airport was easy and under 15 minutes both ways. The chocolate croissants were fire.

We have stayed at many Sandals (and Beaches) over the years, but this was our first time to the Royal Bahamian. It was a great 8 nights, even though Imelda (before turning into a hurricane) crashed our party. We had a butler room and Nichola and Keisha were great. The private island is beautiful and we spent a very peaceful day there. The food was very good across the board, and we were able to get lobster tails with our dinners at Butch’s. Special recognition to: Endera in reception who helped us get a room with a better view, Kimerly our tour guide for the Mini Tour, Michelle at the pool bar, Phillip at the English Pub bar, Edwin our waiter at Butch’s and Anwar at the pool bar who made us beautiful drinks to use in our photos. And, of course, Nichola and Keisha who took very good care of us for the whole stay. The only negatives were the fact that the backup power wasn’t working in our building for several hours while (not quite tropical storm) Imelda came through, but it did come back on the next morning. When we booked a butler room we read that it came with private transfers, which we thought would be to and from the resort, but it was only going from the airport to the resort. This wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the people we were sharing the transfer with were late getting off the resort which didn’t help my travel anxiety at all. And, I have to say, it was very disappointing to realize that there really are no more returning guest t-shirts. I love all my shirts and they bring back great memories from our trips to Sandals and Beaches.

Here’s the updated version with Donard: ⸻ We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Sandals Royal Bahamian! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the service and hospitality were exceptional. A very special mention goes to our fantastic butlers, Donard and Andrae, who truly went above and beyond throughout our entire week-long stay. Their attention to detail, warm personalities, and willingness to anticipate our every need made our trip unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for better care. We also want to extend a big thank-you to Chef Raymond and Chef T, who prepared delicious and thoughtful vegan meals for us. Their creativity and effort made every dining experience feel personalized and special. Overall, Sandals Royal Bahamian exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to return!
