Just wondering if anyone has been to/is going to Sandals Antigua?? I am leaving for my honeymoon on April 2nd and I am just curious about what its like there.

Re: Sandals Antigua
I'm going to the Sandals in the Bahamas and my TA goes every year to this resort and she said don't bring any money unless we plan to go into town, in which we'll need money for a taxi and any money for souvenirs. Otherwise, she said we can lock our wallets in the resort safe and not take them out again until we leave since it's all inclusive.

Re: Sandals Antigua
You do need money. Not a ton, but you do. Food and drinks are included. Everywhere on the resorts. We went to St. Lucia and stayed at the Regency, but we could have gone to the Halcyon or the Grande to have dinner or for the day, but never got a chance to.
You need money for the excursions (mush like a cruise). We only did one. To go shopping in town. The trip was $18 per person and we got a ride there and back. We spent a lot of money in the duty free shops and in the market as well.
Plus if you forget anything, you can buy it at the gift shop, but that is very pricey. DH needed a nasal spray and an itty bitty one cost $13! You can chose to charge everything to your room (much like a cruise as well) but obviously you need to pay it at the end with a debit card, credit card or cash.
As for what to pack, just bring bathing suits, shorts and a couple of cute skirts and tanks. I liked wearing that to dinner at night.
Sandals is wonderful, we loved it. We would definatly do another one soon. Hope that helps! Any questions, FM me!
