Of the two Sandals resorts in Barbados, Sandals Barbados is the more affordable option. It features premium and luxury level rooms, which are the entry level accommodations at Sandals, while Sandals Royal Barbados only has the higher priced club and butler level rooms and suites.
Sandals Royal Barbados is located right next door to Sandals Barbados, so you can stay in a lower-priced room but still have access to all the amenities of the newer Royal Barbados including the cool rooftop infinity pool and bar. This gives you 21 restaurants and 14 bars to choose from, as well as 11 pools and 6 whirlpools.
