This is Sandals Resorts International’s 16th resort in the Caribbean: the new Sandals Royal Curaçao. And it’s also Sandals’ best resort in the Caribbean right now. The 351-room property is a dramatic transformation of the former Santa Barbara Resort, set on the 3,000-acre Santa Barbara Estate.It’s home to a number of “firsts” for the Sandals brand, including a bi-level infinity pool, and new room categories like the Awards Seaside Butler Bungalows and Kurason Island Poolside Butler Bungalows. The hotel has 11 different culinary concepts, including eight eateries, joined by three gourmet food trucks and 13 bars.
