This was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon! We did not engage in another of the excursion activities but the on-properties such as the pool, beach and restaurants were beautiful and well maintained! There were various shows and entertainment performances that we really enjoyed. Staff was wonderful and so kind, would return again!
Beautiful beach and resort! Definitely one of the prettiest Sandals beaches we’ve been to. The spa was great.
Really only downfalls were 1) locals on the beach that offer to sell you stuff multiple times per day and 2) three of the dinner restaurants require reservations and you have to make them way in advance. Not much the resort can do about the locals, as the beaches in Antigua are public.
The staff was great, the food was delicious and the room was perfect! The weather was great and the beach was clean and relaxing. Snorkeling and paddle boarding was very fun along with the daily activities including pool volleyball!

The beach is beautiful with clear water. The evening restaurant provide quality food. The cocktails are terrible lacking flavor and the alcohol doesn’t taste like top shelf even though the bottle says otherwise.
The Beach outside the hotel is brilliant. With beachfront restaurants providing sunset views every night, it's hard to beat.
Staff are friendly, the free mini-bar in the room is quite extensive (full sized liquor bottles), and the drink choice at the pool bars is great.
It's a great hotel. You won't be disappointed.
My wife and I stayed at Sandals Grande Antigua for our honeymoon and had an amazing experience. We stayed on the Mediterranean side of the resort. While the rooms could use a little updating, the view from our balcony was absolutely beautiful and the overall resort layout was perfect.
The food was very good, the drinks were great, and there was plenty of beachfront space, so finding loungers with an umbrella was never an issue. The beach itself was incredible — the water was some of the bluest I’ve ever seen.
The entire resort was very well maintained and the staff was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful honeymoon and would definitely recommend this resort to others.
Beautiful and convenient beach access, pools are well maintained and staffed.

Room was lovely! The staff were all very friendly and attentive.
More information would’ve helped at check in regarding how to find out more about activities etc.
but overall an amazing time.
Snorkelling was great.
Very clean and well kept resort. Staff always very nice and friendly. The only negative thing I want to point out is, that Mario’s and Drunken Duck kept their restaurants ice cold. Also the Jewelry store.
A great place to stay at Antigua, excellent service and facilities, beautiful views and beach, lots of nice activities during the day and in the evening, very friendly staff taking excellent care of you, ready to cater to all your wishes. Good examples of the friendly service were Erica and Sylvia at the Cafe de Paris.
