Sandals Grande Antigua

The short version

Thatched-roof Rondoval cottages on the beach and oceanview villas with private pools are the rooms to ask about at Sandals Grande Antigua. The adults-only resort sits on Dickenson Bay, which Sandals calls the longest beach on Antigua, and has 11 restaurants, 7 bars and 6 pools. The airport is about a 7-mile drive. One gap to know about: Sandals lists no golf here, so golfers should look at a different resort.
