Sandals Barbados Is Expanding

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 2, 2017

The Sandals Barbados resort is expanding.

Sandals Resorts International has broken ground on the multimillion-dollar expansion of its Dover Beach all-inclusive, marking the launch of construction of an additional 222 rooms and suites at the resort.

Sandals made the announcement during the Caribbean Travel Marketplace conference in Nassau this week.

Called “Sandals Barbados Phase II,” the expansion is targeting a completion date of November of this year.

That will add to the existing 280 rooms at the property and make it the largest Sandals resort in the Eastern Caribbean region.
