"The Coral Reef Club does it better, but if it's full, this South Seas resort on a white-sand beach evokes an earlier Barbados."

"An intimate vibe and (practically) private beach keep guests coming back to this little hideaway on the west coast of Barbados."

Condé Nast Traveler
"Loyalists abound at the Sandpiper... their devotion is well-earned: family run for now two generations, with all the requisite perks of beachfront Caribbean luxury."

"The Sandpiper is a family-owned resort on the ritzy west coast of Barbados. It's hard to find fault in the rooms or amenities at this small, colonial-style luxury property."

"This two-story property, a smaller, more private version of its sister hotel, the Coral Reef, is a more upscale version of the nearby Mango Bay, one that offers lots of British reserve."

"A remarkable, luxury property...of tropical gardens. All rooms and suites have private balconies or patios. There are four freshwater swimming lagoons."
Fodor's
"The signature hotel of five Elegant Hotel properties on Barbados is certainly elegant, but with a quiet, friendly, understated style primarily targeted to adults."

8.0
"The Colony Club is an upmarket, civilised and unflashy hotel by an excellent west-coast beach. And though rates are high, lots of "extras" are included."

Star Service
"On three lushly landscaped hectares, 13 km north of Bridgetown, one km north of Holetown...this property ranks with the Tamarind as the best value offering of Elegant Hotels of Barbados."

Management would be wise to cater more readily to special requests; these rates are too pricey not to.
