Sandals Barbados & Royal Barbados FULL All-Inclusive Resort Tour! Your Complete Sandals Resort Tour.

So I am at Sandals Barbados. So I'm over at Sandals Royal Barbados. It took me a while just to even find the entrance, so it's right over here. Now this is two resorts in one, so this resort is kind of the more luxury side, I would say. And then when you first come in, you come in right here, and then you You unload, and this resort is all club and butler level. So as soon as you come in, you come into this concierge lounge, which is— it's really early in the morning, so it's not even open yet. But this is the concierge lounge. So when you first come in, they'll take you in here, they'll get you checked in, they'll get you a drink and a nice ice cold towel. There's a couple places to sit down and relax. And then they're going to walk you right to your room. Now the thing is, there are two resorts here, so you can go to either resort, which is really nice. And at other Sandals, you go from resort to resort and there's like a shuttle, but here they're literally touching each other. So this is the main lobby area. So this again is right where you pull in to the Sandals, uh, Royal Barbados. It's about 7 in the morning, so people are just getting up. So when you walk through the lobby, you come out here. Now right off to this side are the Rendezvous. So these are really nice. If you've seen some of my other videos, I was just in Jamaica at, uh, Sandals, uh, South Coast and over at Negril. And they have Rendezvous over there as well, so take a look at those videos. These are really romantic. That you can hear the water back there, so they have their own like little swimming pool right back in here, and then they have this whole beautiful garden area. So again, all of these are Butler Suites and Club Level at Sandals Royal Barbados. Now there's Sandals Barbados without the Royal added, which is the other resort which is literally like 2 feet away from this resort. So the confusing part is, is it's very hard to tell when you're on one resort property and the other resort property because they— there's no distinction really when you're walking around. So I don't understand. Here's the map of Sandals Royal Barbados. On the other side is just Sandals Barbados, but they literally touch each other. Okay, so we're going to leave the Rendezvous section, which is kind of at the very entrance to the resort, and it's kind of tucked away in these tropical lush gardens. Uh, but now we're going to kind of go into the main section. They have their own pool over there, which is really nice, but we're going to walk over here to kind of the quiet pool area. So right off to the left when you walk into Sandals Royal Barbados is this quiet pool. This is a super popular area. So it's not on the beach, this pool. It's kind of tucked away surrounded by these kind of lush— I mean, look at these flowers. There's birds everywhere. There are so many hummingbirds and everything around here. So Jerk Shack is right here on your left. It's got nice little covered seating areas, and then over on the right is the quiet pool. Now this Sandals— see, you can see how— I'll show you how they reserve if you have a butler. So see this little sign over here? So this one right here. So that's been reserved by Butler. They'll put the names on them when they come out. So there's the Butler service. But this is a really nice quiet pool area. There's a heated hot tub right up there. The water in these pools is kind of room temperature, so it's really nice. There's a swim-up, swim-up bar, which is always nice, and kind of the trade mark of a Sandals resort. So you've got the swim-up right out here with all your seats in the water, and then just a really nice area to just sit and relax around the pool. So there's plenty of spots for shade, and then there's kind of little gazebo areas, and then plenty of spots where you can get some sun. All right, so right next to the Jerk Shack— oh, the other important thing are these little signs, which at other Sandals Resorts I don't think I've ever had to use, but this resort is pretty big, and now that there's two of them, it's pretty easy to get lost. So always find those signs. So this area here is great at night— ping pong, pool table, foosball, loads of TVs. So last night everybody was hanging out over here in this section. This is over by Lovers Lane. So Lovers Lane is the only bowling alley, uh, at a Sandals resort. So what they have over here are these kind of semicircle sections of these couches. So if you want to hang out and have a beer and watch TV or watch sports, they have all these little different sections where you can hang out. So there's one here, there's another one over here. So they're all around. So it's a nice setup. It's nice and cool because it's shaded. I mean, look at the Just look at the roof in here, it's crazy. So the decor is amazing. Now at night they have a DJ in here, so I was here last night. So there's a piano in here, there's a DJ in here. So the DJ sets up on this side and it's kind of a dance club lounge area. And then here, this place at night is the Happening Bar. Now this bar has a ton of craft beers and very unique beers. I think they— I heard they had 12 different unique beers. They have all these little game tables in here too. They're all around the edge, so everybody's in here kind of playing games on these little gaming tables. You're getting all your cocktails and craft beers. You can get shoes over here. So this is open till 11 PM. So you, you just need socks and they'll give you your bowling shoes right here. And then this at night looks amazing, so I'll have to show you some pictures and some video of the, uh, Lovers Lane lit up at night. So you've got 4 bowling alleys, first come first serve, uh, and I think they do 30-minute games, so they limit it to 30 minutes, so you can always work your way in. So yeah, Lovers Lane, again, the only bowling alley, uh, in a Sandals resort. So some people come here just because they love to hang out and have fun. With the different bowling activities. All right, so we'll go back outside. So the grounds over here at all these Sandals, they have nighttime entertainment. So that's over here on the right is where you can find all your nighttime entertainment. They do have— all these Sandals resorts have fire pits. So there's one of these over here. On the right that's huge. So there's a seating area around the fire pit. Now, in Exuma, they had these fire pits, and at night, because that's in the Bahamas, and I was there about a month ago, so it was, it was a little chilly at night, so everybody loved to hang around these fire pits. Here, it's pretty, it's pretty hot, so it's almost in the 90s Fahrenheit during the day. And then at night, you know, it's like in the high 70s. But usually it's— so it's okay at night, but not to sit around a fire pit. At least I wasn't thinking it was a great idea to sit around the fire pit. There is a gift shop. Their larger gift shop is over here. There's a bunch of little shops in here. Your photography studio to get your photos is go off to your left. So this is kind of the shopping village that's on property. There is— yeah, so this is the bigger resort shop, and then down there is a Red Lane Spa. And I'm going to take you to the donut shop. This is, I think, the only Sandals that has the donut shop. Beach House. Oh, here it is. So the Sweet and Salty Gourmet Donuts. So again, look for these signs because it's, uh, a little confusing when you first get here. Okay, so this is the Sweet and Salty Donut Shop. Well, look, there's a line. We'll just take a quick look. All right, so Sweet and Salty Donut Shop, there's already a line at 7:00, but they're pretty quick. Off over here is the Red Lane Spa, and then off to the side is the gym. There's already people working out in the gym, um, so I'll show you some footage of the gym as well. Now the thing about this One Sandals is you run into these spots where you just kind of run into a dead end, like the Red Lane Spa, and then you're just kind of trapped. So we're going to go down to the beach over here on the Royal side so we could take a look at the beach. Um, so I was saying earlier that I feel like I feel like at this Sandals, it's really— you could stay at either resort and you can use all the restaurants at either resort, and you never feel like you're going from one resort to the other. So I would just book a room at your price point. So if you like the club level and butler level on the Royal side, then book one of those rooms. If you like more of just the luxury rooms on the Sandals Barbados side, then book one of those rooms. And I went in all the— almost every room yesterday, and they're all really nice. Like some resorts, some of the entry-level rooms at some resorts I've been to are kind of— I mean, you have to understand what you're booking. You kind of get what you pay for. This resort, I thought all the rooms are really nice. They go from nice to extremely nice. So I would just book, book on, you know, what your price point is and what kind of service level you want. If you want to splurge and go for one of these amazing Sky Pool Suites, I'll show you one of those. I mean, they come with Rolls-Royce transfers to and from the airport, and they're overlooking the beach, and they have these beautiful— they're way up high, and then they have a pool right off of the balcony, so you get this amazing view. Um, but then my room— so I'm on the Royal Barbados side, and I'm just basically over here on the left. So when you first walk in and you walk through this kind of expansive garden area. I am just off over here above these swim-outs. These swim-outs are always nice if you, if you want to be on the first floor. These swim-out rooms are always amazing too. So look over here. So right here you have these kind of hidden in this lush garden area. You have all these swim-out rooms. My room is literally right here on the second floor, so I'm right there. And so I'm just kind of overlooking this garden area. A lot of the rooms are kind of overlooking a garden or pool area. But yeah, see the swim-outs? I love these because you can just hang out in your room. I mean, look how amazing these are. But yeah, I'm right up here. I'm in building— what is this— building 8. So I am in, uh, whatever that is. So there's a Seahorse building. Is that— maybe I'm in the sea. No, I'm in the Stingray building. So yeah, so there's another pool. So we're getting close to the ocean. So we're still Sandals Royal Behemoth— Royal Behemoth. I keep saying Sandals Royal Bohemian. This is Sandals Royal Barbados. So you've got this little area right here with lounge chairs, just a little bit in the water, hot tub up here, and then it looks amazing. It just Looks spectacular. And then the beach and the ocean is right out there. They have these coolers here with the butler service. Everybody's getting set up about 7-something in the morning. So let me see, I don't think there's a swim-up bar on this one. So this one, yeah, see this, you have a bar here, but it's not swim-up. So you have this amazing pool though. The sun is out. There's another hot tub right across the way. So this pool, you have to come over here to the bar. There is one other swim-up bar though at one of these other pools. This is Neptune's. This is at almost every Sandals resort, kind of a Mediterranean seafood restaurant right here on the water. And then check out this pool. So during the day, everyone is like bellied up to the edge of this pool because you can go from right here from the swimming pool, which is— look at that, that's amazing. So there's the pool, and then you just turn around and that's your view from the pool. There are a lot, so I feel like this resort has a more European vibe. It has a lot of— maybe 60% of the people I've talked to here are from the UK. So it's a really— well, it's not quick. I would say it's probably an 8, 8.5-hour flight from Heathrow to Barbados. So a lot of people are here from the UK. Okay, so like at other Sandals Resorts, you're not going to see— like, see how all these beach chairs are kind of stacked together and they're kind of close and there's rows of them? I feel like that's more of a European thing. So there— and there's no lack of places to sit because there's always— we came out here like 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon and found 3 chairs together, so it wasn't a problem finding together. So really nice beach. Now it's a little wavier here. If you saw my videos from, uh, Jamaica from Sandals South Coast, it was a lot calmer here. It's definitely— they've got these little, uh, kind of barriers out here to try to break some of the waves and make it a little calmer. But during the day, some days can be calm and some days can be like this. Like yesterday when I was here, it was pretty wavy, uh, yesterday as well. So this area here, they try to definitely make it a little calmer with these barriers. But yeah, there's the resort from the beach. Neptune's again. There's a morning dove. Good morning to the morning dove. Very friendly. All right, let's keep going. So we're going to go past this pool. We're going to take you around, um, we'll take you around to some of the other areas. So up top there, see those people up there? Up there is the French restaurant and the Sky bar, which most people don't even know about. And there's a swimming pool up there and a hot tub up there. So let's go. And there's a bar up there. All right, so I think I just talked all of us into going up there. So we'll go up there and then we'll go back to the beach and I'll take you over to Sandals Barbados instead of the Royal Barbados side. Um, I think this is like about 6 stories up, so let's see if we can figure out how to get up here. Now over here, right up here, are these really nice suites that overlook the beach, and I'll show you those also because those are amazing. All right, let's see, we're going to go around the edge and then we'll go up top. So again, we're just passing this main ocean pool on the Royal Barbados side. All these oleanders, these oleanders are also beautiful. Look at the flowers. More swim-out rooms here on the first floor on the left, and then we're going to go Again, I'm like right over there on that side, so right across from me, up here, right up there, way up there is where we're going. So, so it's the rooftop pool and Sky Bar, and then also the French restaurant. So way up here. I mean, look at these palm trees. These palm trees are amazing. All right, so let's, um, take the elevator and I will meet you. I will meet you up there at the top. Oh, so we got the Sky Bar, and then you got breakfast. Is it good? A good breakfast? Yes, please. All right, what do you like? What's your favorite thing for breakfast? Pancakes. Pancakes? Okay. All right, maybe when I'm done we'll have breakfast. Sure, no problem. Thank you. All right, so I'm at the Sky Bar, just got off the elevator, and then the lady in the elevator is like, you got to come up here for breakfast. I was like, they have breakfast up here? I didn't know they had breakfast. So there's a lot of good places to have breakfast. Like, um, hey, oh man, look at the— all right, sorry, I'm distracted by the view. Look at the view. I mean, so the view from up here at night too is amazing because you see all the lights. I mean, look at the view. So you can eat right there. That's pretty spectacular. And then it comes down. Oh, and then there's the pool that I took you to earlier, right down there. And then you're right here by the ocean. So you can actually have a wedding up here. So I was talking to some people last night about you could have part of this section up here for a wedding, or you could have part of this up here for a wedding reception. I mean, come on, look at this. Look at these views. Like, you're just sitting right here And you got this infinity edge pool. This is the hot tub, and then you got another one, the pool right there. You got some shaded areas over here. I mean, this is, this is pretty nice. I gotta see, we gotta touch, touch the water, see what it's like. Oh, it's nice. Yeah, so it's like room temperature. It's not too cold. It's not really hot, so that's a great temperature. So the sun's coming up. You can get a little kind of cabana-looking thing over here. You can go over here underneath one of these shaded areas where the couches are. There's that pool with that kind of infinity edge on it. Oh my God, walking to the edge, walking to the edge, it's really high up. Woo baby! Oh my gosh, it's pretty high up here. Oh, look how cool that pool is. I mean, that's— I'm not a person who really loves heights, but it's okay. Oh yeah, yeah. Okay, I think we're going to step away from the glass edge. Woo, baby! But look, I mean, it's the view. All the birds just hanging out. Here he comes, there he goes. There's another one just hanging out. There's bats at night. The bats at night. Those little bats are super cute. All these birds are just hanging out, flying around. So yeah, all right, we're gonna skip breakfast because I'm gonna keep taking you on a tour. We're gonna go to the Royal side, which is over here. There's another pool back down in there, more buildings over here, more kind of garden areas over here. Or not the Royal side, that's the regular Barbados side. So yeah, this bar during the day is happening. The French restaurant, French restaurant you need reservations for, for dinner. So make sure, and guys have to wear a collared shirt. That's pretty much the only dress code at some of the restaurants is make sure you're wearing a collared shirt. And then you can just take the elevator or the stairs back down. So this is on the 6th floor. So we're— all right, I'll meet you back down. Come on out. All right, so I want to show you the Royal Barbados and Barbados. So this is this little walkway but basically Royal Barbados, Barbados. So that's it. And so you never really know when you're like, oh look, okay, we're in Barbados. So it's amazing how you can just switch from one to the other. So this area right here is also good for wedding receptions. So yesterday there was a wedding and they had their wedding reception set up out here, and it's just a perfect area to have a little dining wedding reception. So yeah, so look how pretty that is for a wedding reception. Yeah, so last night they had their— at 5 o'clock they had their wedding on the beach and then drinks and dinner over here. So over here is a quiet pool. Now I have been told from some of the guests that are from the UK that they prefer the Sandals Barbados side because it's quieter. And I did experience that yesterday when I was walking around because these pools over here, see, like they're just tucked away. So there's little cabanas over over here. And these pools are never packed because there's so many pools. There's also another Red Lane Spa over here. That's the thing that's a little confusing, is some of the things are duplicated, like Butch's, their steakhouse. So they have rooms right here on the right, it's kind of overlooking this nice pool area. This like half-moon-shaped building is right on the water on the other side, so we'll go over there. There's a pool on the water that's really nice. There's a Café de Paris. I called it Café de Paris on one of my last videos, so it's actually Café de Paris. So that's where you can get croissants and pastries and coffee in the morning. So it's kind of tucked away under this beautiful tree right here. So this is a great spot right here in the morning to get a cappuccino or coffee or some pastries or that donut shop that we went in earlier on the Royal Barbados side. So So many places. Oh, the Merry Monkey English Pub. We'll have to take you there. Café de Paris. Um, Butch's. Like I said, there's two Butch's, so, and it's reservation, so make sure you know which one you made reservations at because I feel like that's got to get confusing when you have two of the same restaurant. I feel like they should just make this one resort and then rename it, but whatever. So, oh, okay, I haven't come through this way. So this is kind of the— on the Barbados side, kind of the restaurant plaza area, I would call it. So this is where your Merry Monkey is, which is your English pub. So last night they had like a Guinness pie type of thing, which is kind of like a shepherd's pie. Let's see if— oh, it looks like it's closed. We'll see. Yeah, it's closed. All right, so we'll go back in there later. But at night, this is open till 2 in the morning. So the Merry Monkey. So if you're looking for drinks and food, so like cheese sticks, burgers, fries, uh, fish and chips. So here's the other— here's the one of the Butch's steakhouses. I'm having dinner there tonight at 8 o'clock. You have to have reservations for Butch's also, so I'll let you know. If you really love steak, Butch's is the place to go. Then at night, this is also a nice area because it's lit up really well. They have the bar where everyone hangs out. You can— so you can have some drinks before or after dinner. Lots of little loungy areas, really pretty flowers everywhere. There's so many birds, there's birds everywhere. Bombay Club Indian, really good Indian restaurant. Um, I have not tried the Bombay Club here, but I've been to the Bombay club at other Sandals Resorts. Really nice, really good air conditioning. I love my good air conditioning, let me tell you. I mean, look how pretty this area is. Like, you're just sitting under this tree, you're over here by Soi. Soi is the sushi bar, which is also phenomenal. These little lotus flowers at night are like tiki torches and they're all lit up. And then you've got this amazing tree and you have all the birds and then you have all the koi fish. They have a lot of big koi in here. So these light up. Oh, you got little baby koi in there too, little baby fish. Let's see if we can find some big koi. Yesterday they were hiding out over here. Oh, there's one, there's one right there. So they've got all the little, the koi in here. You walk over this bridge. So this is the bridge and the entrance, uh, to Kimono's, which is, uh, hibachi. So there's one of the hibachi tables. Oh, there's another koi down there. Oh, that's pretty. Look at how pretty that one is. I think that might be a butterfly. I don't know my koi, but I think maybe a butterfly koi. Someone who knows their koi can leave a comment. But yeah, right there, hibachi. Let's see if we can get in. Okay, yeah. So soy is off to the left over here. Really pretty. Really good sushi too. So I had Soi, and I've been to Kimono's at multiple Sandals, so I have not done them here because I'm trying some of the new things for you. Kimono's, get a reservation for it in advance. Soi, you can just walk right up. And come on in. All right, so let's see, let me take you to the pool with some of the beachfront areas. So last night also, I actually walked with some of my friends off property, which I hardly ever do at Sandals Resorts because everything's included. So you've got all your drinks, all your food, so it was hard to even get people to go because they're like, why would I go off property and spend money? But we did. We went to The Gap, which is literally just, I don't know, 5 to 7 minutes down the road. So we walked over there and listened to some music, and I had a Deputy, which they have it here, which is a local beer. Deputy and Banks are two of the local beers, which you can get at Sandals for free, but I was out, so I was like, let me try them. All right, so I'm, I'm walking through this right here is the lobby for this resort. So if you're at the Sandals Barbados side, not the Royal Barbados side, um, this is the area where they're going to drop you off, and then you're going to walk through this lobby. Now again, this lobby at night is amazing because all these, um, little things in the water are lit up, so they're like porches. And then the check-in desk is off to the left. And then you have this beautiful area that you walk through. They have a small gift shop over here. We walked by the larger gift shop. This bar at night is happening. Like, when I came back last night from the Gap about 10:00, this piano bar So there's a piano back here. So this piano bar was just packed. So, and out back, so if you're listening to the piano bar, you can also go out back here. So out back they've got seating kind of hidden here, and then this, this of course is a fire pit, which last night was a little toasty. Me. So I was like, I don't know if I need to hang out back here by the fire pit. But they also have coffee. Good morning. So if you, uh, need coffee, you got your coffee stations right here. You can kind of self-serve a cappuccino instead of going to the donut shop. You have Island Roots, so they'll go ahead and book all your excursions for you. And then when you walk through the lobby, you come right out here. So again, they have a Club Sandals on this side where they'll help you book dining reservations. They have snorkel excursions that they can book if you're club level, just for club and butler level guests. And then you have all your signage again because it gets a little confusing. But let me take you around this side of the resort. I'm walking through— I saw a hummingbird. Oh wait, it's not a hummingbird, it's just a bird. He's got a nest. Look, he's got a nest right here. Oh look, he's got a little baby nest up here, like right there. That's so cool. Okay, let's not get attacked by a bird. So let's go over here. This is that another quiet pool that I showed you guys earlier over by Café de Paris. So that's Café de Paris back over here. And then this is that quiet pool. We're going to walk through this main building that's right on the ocean on the Sandals Barbados side. So this is the Royal House. So we're going to go through here, and they have a really nice pool that's— if you like a more lively pool pool. It's right on the ocean. They've got some restaurants, they've got swim-up bar, and then you're right by the beach. So this is the Royal House. Oh, let me show you, there's also— if you want to have breakfast, they have, uh, over here is the Portofino Italian restaurant and bar, but you can also get breakfast over here. So you've got this nice little area. The other thing is there's so many restaurants and different things, it's hard, you know, there's— you hardly see any people. I mean, look, it's probably— what time is it? It's, it's almost 8, 7:45 in the morning. All right, so let's go to the Royal House. Now I believe there's a buffet probably also in here. So spices, Caribbean cuisine is off to my right. You have a bar off to the left. You also have another area out here with coffee and pool tables and games and ping pong. So you have this kind of relaxing area, right? So you're right by the pool, but you're covered, and you just kind of want to have— you want to kind of be here but not be right by the pool. You've got TVs, games, lounge chairs, and then your pool is like right here. And I like how it just kind of winds around, and you have a bar over here with swim-up bar. You have these really cool umbrellas, and then all your rooms are like right here, so they're kind of overlooking the ocean on this kind of concave-shaped building. And then you have this really nice pool that goes all the way around, kind of at the base of this building. So Schooners, the seafood restaurant, is like right here. So that's right on the water. And then the Mariner is over here on the left. People have got their favorite chairs staked out. We got their towels and their towel clips, or their butlers if set them up for them. So it looks like this is a popular pool cuz they like— you got a swim-up bar, it's more lively out here, and you're right by the beach. There's a lot of stuff going on here. You've got a hot tub up here. That's a nice bar. So So this area here is really cool. You've got more of these fire pits that look really nice at night. You've got— oh, the Dino's Pizza. So you can get a Dino's Pizza and then sit right here, and it's really good pizza. Some places have pizza and it's just not great. Like if you go on some of these cruise lines, the pizza is just Oh, it's not even worth eating. But here the pizza is really good, Italian pizza. Here's that hot tub, and here's the view of this building, uh, from the other side. And then when you look out of your room, you've got these views of the beach. So the, uh, snorkeling, scuba And also all of your watercraft activities, so you book them right here. So you've got your Hobie Cats, paddleboards, probably, uh, usually they have windsurfing. So all of that is right here. And then this is the beach again that we were looking at earlier. So yeah, so there's the resort, and you're kind of looking over these trees, and then you're out here in this beach area. Not a lot of seaweed on this beach. Beach, which is nice. And if you're in some of these little kind of protected areas, it's not as wavy. And they got a little beach volleyball out here also. But again, I feel like it's more of a European setup, right? Because you've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 rows of chairs. They're all kind of closer together. Um, so got some hammocks spread out, but it's a nice little setup out here. But during the day, I was here yesterday and they had a band out here. Uh, I want to say it was a Tuk Band, um, which is, uh, their kind of native band, and it was a lot of fun. So that was over here by Dino's when I was over here yesterday. They have a little bar out here too, so you don't have to go all the way up to the beach or to the pool. And then Oh, these are the rooms. These are the really nice— these are the most expensive rooms on property. So I will show you the inside of these, but this is the view from these rooms, and the rooms are right here. So I was up in this room. You can see the reflection of the water because there's a pool that runs all along the edge You can see the water on this one kind of coming over the edge. So yeah, they have pools, uh, on all three of those rooms up there. And these rooms have this amazing view right on the ocean of this. So these rooms behind me, I'll go ahead and show you a tour of these, uh, as well. They come with a Rolls-Royce transfer. So you pick you up in a Rolls-Royce at the airport and they take you back to the airport in the Rolls-Royce. But yeah, so right behind me, these are really, really nice rooms. But you don't have to spend all that money and get one of these rooms. You can go in any of these kind of garden view rooms that we've walked by in the tour and they're just fine. You can eat at all the restaurants, do all the things, do all the activities. So it's not based on like what type of room you book for what you get, which I really love about Sandals. So I want to show you this section right here behind me off to the side. So this is where you have early morning yoga. They have this nice little fountain and this area, this covered area. This pavilion, they're also able to rent out for like dinners. So this is like a nice little garden area where you can have like a private dinner or a little function or maybe a wedding reception right across from these pools. All these— this is on the Sandals Barbados side. So they also have these really cool swim-outs with these little bridges that are really cute. So like you walk around and then you come over here and you go over the bridge and look at— see these rooms? These rooms are really awesome. So they have all these little swim-out rooms and they look— they have their own little private kind of pool area. And so this area is kind of surrounded by these. Okay, so I wandered over to this other quiet pool. Also Greenhouse, the restaurant that I had dinner at last night, right behind me. They also have a really good breakfast. And then also Heart and Soul, which is kind of like bowls and smoothies and kind of healthy options. I had lunch there yesterday. So let me take you around. So there's another hidden pool over here that's super quiet. There's a bar here, no swim-up bar, but this bar, and then this really quiet swimming pool. Because it's almost 8 o'clock in the morning, a little after 8 o'clock in the morning, and look, there's still all kinds of room at this, uh, swimming pool. So that's the thing that's really nice about this Sandals is you have all these different swimming pool options, um, and then all these different dining options. So I would definitely try Greenhouse. It's kind of a farm-to-table restaurant, so a lot of people don't end up trying it, but it's got steak, it's got chicken, it's got all the things you're normally used to There is Heart and Soul, so really good smoothies. And you can eat, like yesterday at lunch I just ate out here, really nice under the fans. You also have— oh, a leaf blower, they're coming for us. There's always a leaf blower. But you've also got over here more swim-outs and Tranquility soaking tubs up top. But yeah, try these restaurants. I'll put some of my favorites for, uh, Heart and Soul and also Greenhouse in the description, or if you leave a comment, I can, uh, get with you there. So I just saw a hummingbird fly by. Let's see. Oh, there's a bird, but it's not a hummingbird up here. But loads of hummingbirds in all these trees. It's not a hummingbird, but— oh, there's— oh no, those are just big, big giant bees and not hummingbirds. But all kinds of hummingbirds and nature and things just all around the resort. To kind of give you the run down on Sandals Barbados and Sandals, uh, Royal Barbados. I mean, both resorts are amazing. Both resorts are literally 6 feet apart, so you never know when you're at one resort or the other resort. As you can tell, there are winding paths and flora and fauna gardens everywhere, super tropical. It's a little hard to navigate if you're only here for like 3 or 4 days. I can see how it would be difficult to find your way around. If you were here for a week, you would be able to figure it out, but if you're here for just a few days, I feel like you're going to miss a lot of things. So make sure you know what you want to do leave a comment or go to the description, um, so you get some ideas. Like that donut shop, you will never find it unless you happen across it. I mean, you would never know it's here, and then you'll leave and you'll be like, I didn't know. Or like, across from me is Kimono's and Soy and the English Pub, but unless you're walking around for a long time you're not going to find a lot of these places because they're all tucked away, which is nice, but it's kind of hard to navigate compared to other Sandals resorts. So, um, and I would book either. So either resort is fine, it just depends on what you like. I keep finding myself actually on just the Barbados side more often than the Royal Barbados side. I'm gonna try some of the pools today, so it's gonna be a pool day. I have not gotten a massage here, but some of the people I'm with have gotten massages and they really like the massages they've had, so that's, that's a positive. So yeah, book either one— Sandals Barbados, Royal Barbados, doesn't matter. Book the price or the resort kind of room category or experience you want. So if you want a club level or butler, you can do that. Or if you just want a regular room, uh, you can do that as well. And then I would say just get out and explore and walk around the resort, um, cuz it's really, really beautiful. So again, leave a comment or go to the description.
