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.

There is nothing that I did not like! Everything was superb-the grounds, the rooms, the service, the beach. The staff of this hotel deserves a post on its own as it was the friendliest, most caring team ever. Can’t wait to return to The Sandpiper!!

Facility is quite dated, patronized by older British couples. For 2 day stay, check-in was late afternoon but prematurely forced out of room on departure day prior to 11 am.

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!
