Sandy Lane Hotel
Barbados' beachside jewel
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

After Sandy Lane Hotel opened in 1961 on the west coast of
Barbados, celebrities ranging from the likes Frank Sinatra to Mick Jagger frequented the spot, instantly putting it on the map of jetsetters around the world. When new owners took over the hotel in the late 1990s, they wanted to restore it to its former glory and elevate it even further. To do that, they deemed that a three-year closing was necessary. When Sandy Lane reemerged in 2001 with 96 rooms, 16 suites and one villa after a $280 million makeover that saw the old buildings torn down and replaced, A-list travelers again had a reason to celebrate: Their sanctuary had officially returned.
Today, Sandy Lane is once again a luxurious Caribbean retreat. The combination of upscale amenities (beach attendants will serve you sorbet, clean your sunglasses and mist you with Evian) and stunning beach (white sand and crystal-clear blue water) results in a double dose of relaxation for guests.
