Guest reviews for The Sandpiper
"Comfortable clean and well designed and maintained."
"Nothing"
"The staff are great, always happy and make you feel welcome. The breakfast buffet has lots to offer with an egg station, fresh fruits and lots more to choose from. Avocado toast with an egg on top and chili crisp was delicious. Food at the beach bar restaurant is good, fish cutter and fish tacos were also delicious. Great location, walking distance to lots of shops and a big grocery store. Plenty of places to eat at Limegrove Mall. You can also hop on a bus and head up to Porters within five minutes to more restaurants, great beaches. Juju’s and Juma’s and very good restaurants."
"A ceiling fan on the patio would be nice as it is a buggy and humid so it would help to reduce both. Toilet flush was a bit of a challenge with the push buttons but it works."
"Never visited the Sandpiper before but was really delighted with the whole experience, albeit just for a weekend stay. The room was well fitted out, all conveniences provided for, the breakfast was excellent, the staff really really friendly. All in all felt like an extension of home which is the best compliment I can give!"
"Price could have been lower but recognising the quality of the hotel I guess its fair"
"Great food, location and staff. Beautifully kept gardens and pool areas with access to a fabulous beach."
"Nothing"

"Very expensive."
"The Property is ideal as it's right on the beach front - our rooms was good and it's clean and impressive"
"Nothing"
"Everything was amazing! The views, the facilities, the intimacy of a boutique feel hotel as opposed to a huge one! We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to be back Big shoutout to Raheem Patrick Barry and Jason as well as Dan the manager and of course Harold (but all the staff were incredible)"
"There’s nothing we can find to fault the sandpiper - I want to write a bad review just so I can gatekeep this special place all for myself ha!"
"The facilities are superb but it is without doubt the outstanding service!"
"Leaving!"
"I have stayed in several different hotels in Barbados in a period of over 30 years. I'm afraid The Sandpiper wins hands down! In terms of dining, the hotel offers complete flexibility - you can decide whether or not to eat in the restaurant without pre-booking; or you can walk out to one of the many restaurants in nearby Holetown (The Sitar Indian is particularly good). The Sandpiper has an excellent 20m swimming pool, ideal for people like us who swim as a form of exercise; there is a smaller pool for children/families. Above all The Sandpiper has a friendly and enthusiastic team; everyone went out of their way to be helpful. No wonder most of the people staying here are on their 3rd, 4th or maybe even 10th visit! I will be back."
"I stayed a subsequent week at The Cobblers Cove, some three miles further up the coast. It was only when I stayed there that I fully appreciated just how good The Sandpiper is."
"Superb location on the beach. Staff wonderful and breakfast amazing."

"The host was amazing, she offered to take me to the embassy herself and to the stores to pick some items. A very lovely host"
"Shari was an excellent host, going above and beyond with her service—she even offered taxi rides from the airport and to the cruise facilities! I loved the apartment; it was clean and spotless, with a very comfortable bed, great air conditioning, and an easy walking distance to Bridgetown and Carlisle Bay. I really enjoyed my brief stay and would return in a heartbeat!"
"The location was confusing,however if you want to see real authentic Barbados it is great. The room is basic,the staff is excellent. I felt I was well treated and felt at ease."
