From Curaçao to Barbados: Three Newer Sandals Resorts Redefining Couples-Only Luxury in the Caribbean.
Written By: Geoff Millar, Owner – Ultimate All Inclusive Travel
This month we will continue our tour of 3 more Sandals Resorts. We will look at the Sandals Curacao and the 2 Sandals on Barbados. These are 3 of Sandals newer resorts. They are great couples resorts. The only minor issue is getting to the resorts. Airlift is limited to these 2 islands. They are all in great locations with fantastic beaches.
Sandals Royal Curaçao
Sandals Royal Curaçao is your gateway to natural wonders and cultural richness. Dive into waters as blue as the island’s signature liqueur and feel the desert air mix with the ocean breeze. From cacti-studded coves to flamingo-filled lagoons, every view is waiting to be explored. Spend just one day here, and you’ll overhear stories in four native languages while sipping on Blue Curaçao, crafted from valerian oranges and island spices. Whichever way the wind takes you, Curaçao is best discovered by feeling it for yourself.
Sandals Curaçao provides a distinguished retreat with accommodations ranging from seaside bungalows featuring infinity pools with ocean views to swim-up Butler Suites, ensuring an experience beyond the ordinary. All accommodations come with free WIFI, upgraded amenities, and 24 hr. room service.
At Sandals Royal Curaçao, treat your taste buds to a global culinary adventure with fresh seafood and international flavors, all created by master chefs. Plus, don’t miss the 3 beachside food trucks serving up traditional Curaçao dishes, Spanish tapas, and Asian fusion. The Caribbean is a treat for your senses, and we make sure it’s a feast for your taste buds, too. Our talented local chefs serve both island favorites and global flavors. With eight restaurants and 13 bars at Sandals Curaçao, there’s something to satisfy every craving at this all-inclusive resort.
In the water or on dry land, there’s something for everyone at Sandals Royal Curaçao. You can do as much as you want to do – even PADI® Certified Scuba Diving in spectacular waters – or absolutely nothing at all because it’s all included, all unlimited, all the time.
Water sports include:
• Kayaks • Snorkeling • Hobie Cats • Scuba Diving • Paddle Boarding
Land sports include:
• Table Tennis • Shuffleboard • Beach Volleyball • Board Games • Pickleball
This is a great couples resort set within a 3,000-acre plantation and great beaches. The only negative is that airlift to the island is limited.
Sandals Barbados
Sandals Barbados brings our signature all-inclusive experience to a jet set hideaway that goes all in on natural beauty. Situated on the white sands of Dover Beach, every detail of this resort is designed to stimulate the senses and bring the outdoors in. With open-air dining, swim-up suites, and a rooftop pool, you’ll never be far from the salty scent of sea breezes or the sight of a sunset. And there’s even more dining to explore at Sandals Royal Barbados, right next door.
Sandals Barbados provides a distinguished retreat featuring beachfront penthouses with expansive balconies as well as swim-up Butler Suites positioned along a river pool. The resort offers accommodations tailored to a variety of preferences and budgets, including rooms with swim-out access to river-style pools, terraces equipped with freestanding soaking tubs, and options with direct beach access.
Guest rooms incorporate contemporary amenities such as large wall-mounted flat-screen televisions, iPod docking stations, mini refrigerators, and coffeemakers. Bathrooms feature glossy subway tiles, polished chrome fixtures, oversized showerheads, plush white towels, and Red Lane toiletries. Three service tiers are available, with the Butler Elite level furnishing the highest standard, which includes personal cell phones for direct communication with assigned butlers and round-the-clock room service.
The Caribbean is a treat for your senses, and we make sure it’s a feast for your taste buds, too. Our talented local chefs serve both island favorites and global flavors. With 21 restaurants and 14 bars at Sandals Barbados, there’s something to satisfy every craving at this all-inclusive resort. At Sandals Barbados, you can taste your way around the world with cuisines like Caribbean, Italian, Indian, French pastries, sushi, and even a New York-style steakhouse. Each restaurant has its own expert chefs who make every dish just right, and all meals are perfectly paired with six varieties of Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wines. You also have the use of the restaurants at the Sandals Royal Barbados next door.
At sea or on land, at Sandals Barbados there’s something for everyone. Because everything is included in your vacation—even PADI® Certified Scuba Diving in spectacular waters—you can do as much as you want to do. So go ahead: swim, sail, snorkel… or just relax by the pool.
Water sports include:
• Kayaks • Windsurfing • Boogie Board • Snorkeling • Hobie Cats • Paddle Boarding • Scuba Diving • Pool Volleyball • Glass Bottom Boat
Land sports include:
• Table Tennis • Bocce Ball • Beach Volleyball • Board Games • Pool Tables • Yoga • Cricket • Bowling
This resort is a rebuild of the old Couples Resort. It is a beautiful resort. Again, the negative is there is limited airlift to the island.
