"We've just arrived home after a 10 night stay at the Ocean Spa resort Hotel.
The resort is beautiful.
It has a lovely feel from the moment you arrive.
Its a small hotel but perfect.
It has 2 lovely, very clean beaches and a fabulous big pool.
Loads of lovely comfy sun beds everywhere and plenty of very comfortable shadey places to sit.
The rooms are big, a bit basic but had everything we needed.
They're cleaned to a very high standard everyday & were spotless.
I liked that they have a water station, so not using loads of plastic water bottles.
The one restaurant is under cover but is very open and airy, overlooking the sea...its wooden which has a lovely feel about it.
All the staff are friendly.
The food is a little bit samey but everything is cooked freshly & to a good standard. Its not a buffet which is nice to be served. A bit more effort/imagination is needed with the puddings...
The hotel is a bit isolated.
We didn’t find anywhere else close by to walk to.
We'd booked on a room only basis & planned to eat out but because there wasn't anywhere nearby we upgraded to all inclusive which is much better value!
While away, I had a painful back problem.
I had 2 massages with Hazel, shes fantastic!
Very, very good & made me feel much better.
All in all, we've had a fabulous, tranquil, restful holiday.
Which is exactly what we wanted.

Sandals Grande Antigua - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only
10/10 Excellent
"An awesome experience. Staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and very clean. Never a problem having access to food and drink...24/7. Always something to do, and I really enjoyed the included snorkeling excursions (3 per day)....just make sure to book early. Same with the a couple of their higher end restaurants....be sure to make a reservation ASAP. Having said that, we were able to have great dining experiences at the other restaurants with no reservation required. All and all, a very memorable vacation. One thing especially that I'd like to emphasize, and that is the friendly and earnest care for the staff would show you at this resort. They're a model of courtesy for us all. Bless them. They work hard to ensure you're enjoying your stay."
"We loved the room that we stayed in. It appeared to be recently renovated, clean with comfortable beds. I didn't particular care for the location - right next to a major drop off point for day time cruise passengers and the massive Sandals resort, but some people may enjoy that energy. The pool area was quiet and we enjoyed that part of the resort. "
"This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The view was spectacular, the room was very clean and the staff was amazing! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful, ladies.💕
