5* Sandpiper
Description / Location
Discreetly one of the most exclusive small hotels in the West Indies, the Sandpiper is the perfect vacation hideaway on the West Coast of Barbados - one of the most desirable islands in the Caribbean.
A charming hotel with great attention to detail and guest welfare. The Sandpiper is a member of the Elegant Resorts of Barbados and, together with their associate hotel, the Coral Reef Club, are the only family owned and managed luxury resorts on the island. The Sandpiper is situated on a long white sandy bay, with the calm waters of James Beach. Swimming is excellent and a wide range of watersports are available. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from Holetown, where there are many restaurants, bars and shopping.
Much of this hotel’s charm and style are attributed to Wayne and Karen Capaldi who run it with meticulous attention to detail without sacrificing the relaxed manner of the Caribbean. Combined with their staff’s enthusiasm for pampering their guests, this results in many appreciative visitors choosing to return year after year.
The Sandpiper is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World and, together with their associate hotel, the Coral Reef Club, are the only family owned and managed luxury resorts on the island.
