Just returned on Sunday from Sandals Exuma, we went there last year at the same time as the Superbowl and loved it so much we went back. Met a couple last year and we kept in touch and we both returned. Absolutely love this resort, there are a lot of people saying how rude the staff can be but honestly we have never met any rude staff, only guests, if you treat the staff respectfully and say Hello they are very polite and will go out of their way to talk to you. Everyone who works there are brilliant. Reggie is a great singer and so lovely to talk to, Blossom in the Bar is so laid back and sweet. The quiet pool bar staff remembered us from last year and that was nice. This is a gorgeous resort and the beach this year seemed so much cleaner than last year as there was seaweed then, not sure if it has something to do with the weather but the beach was immaculate. The sea colour is just out of this world and needs to be seen to be believed. The only complaint we had was we did get a few bites which I believe are from the noseeums, we get them in Canada but last year I never got bitten. Have been told to put baby oil next time as this stops them biting. The rooms are clean and the beds are so comfortable, room service was good for us apart from a couple of times when I had to request more shampoo and body wash but not big deal. I do wish they would put more than two coffee packets and a lot more cream in the rooms though, we drink a lot of coffee and there was never enough cream. The restaurants are good, my favourite is the Italian and the Indian. The Kimono Japanese was not as good as Sandals in Le Toc, St Lucia, the steak was very fatty but everything else was great. The French Restaurant was lovely and the staff in all restaurants are great. Especially liked the girls at lunchtime in the Barefoot Restaurant, always took the time to chat and laugh. We took a taxi one day to Georgetown and got a water taxi to Stocking Island to visit Chat and Chill a little bar on the beach. The weather was not cooperating on this day - had a little shower and it was overcast but we had a nice time chatting to people on the beach and relaxing. Georgetown is a nice little town, everything you want and the locals are all charming. I found Exuma to be extremely safe and I believe there is very little crime here, which to me is the most important thing. We went to the Dinner for people who have been to Sandals before and we had Orville at our table who is Head of Entertainment, what a great guy he is, full of fun and he definitely has the right job. The meal that night was superb and we really enjoyed. we plan on returning this year as we love it so much . One more thing, the golf course is the best we have ever seen, the grounds are spectacular and they grounds staff really do a brilliant job at keeping it pristine.

“Wonderful week in paradise!”

The location of the resort is unmatched if you are looking for solitude and quiet. There's certainly nightlife if that's your thing too.

The location of the resort is unmatched if you are looking for solitude and quiet. There's certainly nightlife if that's your thing too. I can't say enough about our butlers, Robert, Roubin and Kevin. Not only did they take great care of us but they made the whole vacation into our own special time. From Roubin serenading us with his amazing voice to everyone bringing us special drinks and food. I had a physical issue with taking long walks and all of them were attentive with a wheelchair or a ride to the center of the resort. The butler service is something I never thought about previously but we were so glad we did that! How many times in life do most of us get served lobster tail off a grill in our pool cabana?? This is definitely a place to be pampered and in my case I was there just prior to major spine surgery (not planned that way), so the extra service was really needed and perfect for that situation. The beach and grounds are gorgeous. Our only complaint was that we didn't get to sail much due to light breezes most of the time! Food was great and the people who were working at the resort could not have been nicer.
