I will start by saying we booked this trip through Amelia at The Travel Agency LLC. She is always such a pleasure to work with and takes away any and all stress/anxiety of traveling, planning and booking a trip. So huge thank you and shout to Amelia!! Travel day was a breeze, we flew from Nashville to Miami and then from Miami to Barbados. When we got off the plane in Barbados, our travel agent had set us up with VIP assistance, so we were greeted with a personal greeter holding a sign with our name on it. As soon as we connected with her she took us through the fast track of the airport, bypassing lines, helping with luggage and just made it such a smooth process through the airport. Then we waited for the shuttle, that is my ONE regret. Normally we take a private car, but for some reason at the Royal Barbados, not all butler rooms come with a private car, and we elected not to have one set up since we were with a group of 6. The shuttle experience was not the best, they seemed very VERY unorganized. We waited quite a while for a shuttle, then they finally loaded us onto one, only to then come back and unload us and then reload us onto another. It was hot, stuffy and not ideal(only because I am spoiled to the personal pickup), but we made it to the resort. Also the arrival at Sandals Barbados was a little different compared to the other sandals and all-inclusive resorts we have been to. Normally we are handed champagne upon arrival but they did not do that here, however we were handed some wet towels to wipe off with. Once we checked in, we were taken to a different lobby, which was the butler’s lounge where we met our Butler. This lounge did have a few self-serve wine and spirits (no champagne or beer) that you could help yourself to. After only a few minutes, Our Butler (Shemar) came and met us and took us to our room and gave us a little tour along the way. Once we got to our room there was champagne on ice and snacks waiting for us. It was paradise from this point on. We stayed in the Royal Seaside Crystal Lagoon Swim-up One Bedroom Butler Suite with Patio Tranquility Soaking Tub, and we absolutely LOVED LOVED our room. We stayed in room 7114, and our friends were right next door in 7113. Our mini fridge was fully stocked with wine, beer, waters, juices and the mini bar had Vodka, Rum, Red Wine, Baileys and Whiskey. Once we got settled, we went for some pizza!! We had read reviews that the staff was rude, but honestly, the girls working at the pizza bar were the ONLY rude staff we encountered the whole week. Now with that said, we arrived about an hour before it closed and there was 6 of us, and we were STARVING. So I am sure they were ready to close up and be done for the day. But, from that point on, It was SMOOTH SAILING. The place was PERFECT. The beach was a little too rough/windy to stay at, so we stayed at the pool most of the time. The entertainment staff at the main pool were so awesome, so were the bartenders. Also, Our Butlers, S
