Five of us stayed at the Sandpiper in October 2023. We had all been there before and we continue to love everything that the Sandpiper has to offer. We had multiple celebrations - a birthday, a second anniversary and second honeymoon, and an early 40th anniversary. It was a perfect place to enjoy all of these. As ever, the rooms were first class, beautifully clean and well-appointed. The service was fantastic, with the whole team making all of us incredibly welcome. Each of us enjoyed different things that the Sandpiper has to offer. For me, it was the chance to sit and read quietly on the comfortable sun loungers that line the beach. Patrick and Victor did a great job at making sure that there were fresh towels and towel coverings for all the loungers from early in the morning until the sun goes down - with fresh water to drink and sorbet at 11am. My wife and daughter loved the sailing that was available. The Sandpiper is very special in that it has a high-performance Laser dinghy as well as a Hobie 16. Andre, 'Easy', and the whole Hightide crew made sure that the boat was rigged and available for our use on every day that the weather allowed. If you like Laser sailing - this is definitely the place to go. My family also really enjoyed playing tennis on the excellent courts attached to the Hotel. The Sandpiper provide a range of good quality racquets, decent tennis balls to play with and free coaching if needed. The courts are floodlit - making it easy to play later in the day when it is a bit cooler. Our son and daughter-in-law enjoyed just relaxing, swimming in lap pool as well as taking advantage of the large swimming area in front of the beach to snorkel and view the coral. They also enjoyed the wonderful breakfasts each day - as well as Harold's bar, especially the fact that it was serving the bar menu until later in the day. The main restaurant continues to serve high quality, more formal, dinners with excellent service from all the team and some great entertainment from singers and musicians (we particularly enjoy the Two Guitarists). The attention to detailed service is found throughout the team - with Riccardo being my 'star employee' for this trip (thanks for looking after me when I hurt my hand and looking out for all our party through our stay). LeMar and Deqwan were always keen to help, and Jamal is a class act leading the service team, with Jamel, Anthony, Dave, and Shawn often helping our group. Olinda, Terry-Anne and Colin on the Front desk are always efficient, smiling and welcoming - Thank you all - especially the many others who helped us enjoy our stay and I havent named in person! I am sure that we will be back again - although as others have commented - Barbados has definitely become more expensive over the years. However, the Sandpiper continues to offer wonderful service and a beautiful location that is hard to beat anywhere in the Caribbean.
