The Sands Barbados All Inclusive

This hotel feels more like a 3 or 3.5 star, it’s not a 4 star. It’s way overpriced for what it is, in my opinion. The suite is very large so we were very happy with that however, there is only AC in the bedroom so the rest of the areas like tv living room, kitchen. Etc are too hot. In 40 degree weather there should be AC everywhere. The unit they have doesn’t work well, they need to upgrade to better AC units. No AC in main lobby, restaurant, or bathrooms either. They should have at least one common area with AC for guests to cool down. The food was OK. We were very disappointed that we were supposed to get one dinner at their sit down restaurant NOIR but they were fully book e the day we got there until the day we left. Manager didn’t even apologize or offer any replacement. Windows leak when it rains. Some of the staff are nice but most of them are very grumpy, moody and rude. They give attitude if you ask for anything, even if you are very polite with a smile when you ask for towels or toilet paper or a drink! They act as if they have to do you some grand favour and seem very unhappy. For the price you pay, it’s bad service and ruins your mood hen you’re on vacation. Beach is OK, not the nicest one on the island. Building is dull but clean and fairly new.
