Sandals Bahamian vs. Antigua

mjessie84

I keep going back and forth between them both! I have never been to either island and I know I will have fun no matter what, but I really want our honeymoon to be perfect and special. Since it seems like a lot of people on this board have been to both, which would you suggest?? My FI and I are laid back vacationers- love the beach & pool (we could spend the entire day laying by either and be perfectly happy) and we love going out for drinks at night. We also love live music/entertainment. Also, since I am a work out fanatic, I would probably like to hit up the gym a couple times during the week and maybe take some interesting exercise classes. Which resort do you think we would like more??

I haven't gone yet so I can't give you a review, but my FI and I chose between Sandals Bahamian and Antigua. They both look amazing. We ended up choosing the Bahamian, because it was quite a bit cheaper than Antigua. Sandals runs different promotions sometimes so it may not be right now. But also, it looks really nice and we decided we'd probably like this one better. As far as what you said you're looking for, they both have all of that. So, basically choose the destination you'd rather go to and which resort looks nicer to you! I hear mostly good things about Sandals so I'm sure both will be great.Sorry I'm not much help yet, but our wedding and honeymoon are next month so I can give you a review when we get back from Sandals .[url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/][img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10714;6/st/20091227/e/Our+Christmas+Wedding%21/k/5ea1/event.png[/img][/url]

We just returned from Sandals Antigua on Sunday. We had a fabulous time. It was a beautiful island and a great resort. We stayed on the Caribbean side so the room was a little older, but definitely very island-y. We had a gorgeous view of the ocean from our balcony. They had nightly entertainment and lots of activities during the day as well.I've never been to the Bahamian so I can't compare them, but we loved Antigua.

I heard the Antigua one is like Spring Break drinking/games at night- I think Bahamas is more relaxing.

We eloped in Antigua.  At the Sandals.  I am going to post a full review.  Just been so busy.  It was amazing though!

We stayed at the Sandals in Antigua and LOVED every minute of it. The did have drinking games, but it def wasn't a spring break feel. FAR FROM IT!! It was so quiet and relaxing. I would go back in a second!!

Antigua was nothing like spring break. I think during the day (at like noon) one day they played flip cup near one of the pools.

It was the quietest place we've ever been, and it was totally full when we were there. We were shocked by how few people we saw.

We have been to Sandals Royal Bahamian twice and LOVED it both times. We'd LOVE to go back again.
