As a Certified Sandals Specialist, I have been fortunate enough to stay at most of the Sandals Resorts.
My favorite of all is Antigua. The island of Antigua is beautiful and well kept. One feels safe there because employment is usually 100% so you don’t feel like you will get robbed walking in St Johns, the capital. When touring the island, the modest homes are not shabby and there are sugar mills and sites such as Nelson’s Dockyards which are rich in British history. Another nice feature is that the airport is not far from Sandals unlike some of the other islands where you can drive two hours just to get there.
Once we arrived at Sandals, we were awed by the elegant yet casual ambiance and the amazing number of restaurants. They have added more since we were there but the food and service are the best I’ve seen at any Sandals. There’s a fine Italian restaurant, a pizzeria, Kimonos Grill, a sushi bar, Tex Mex, an authentic British pub, even a restaurant called Barefoot as you are sitting on the beach itself. The Sandals beach is one of 365 beaches on the island and it is perfect. Not too big or too small, it adjoins beaches of a couple of other resorts and the sand is fine and white.
All in all, Sandals Antigua holds many fond memories.

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center
At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.
What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?
Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.
More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
