Wow! Our Trip to the Newly Renovated Sandals Royal Bahamian and During Tropical Storm Alex!

[@MakeLifeGrand]

Thank you for the thorough review! We listened to the podcast episode as well. We listen to almost every podcast episode! Heading to Sandals Royal Bahamian in October and this makes us even more excited for our trip! Keep up the great work 💕

[@PenyakTravel]

Hi!!! Thank you so much for checking out the podcast and our channel! We really appreciate it!! Safe travels and enjoy your trip! ☺️ We really enjoyed this beautiful resort!

[@mattsmith8031]

How was your trip? We’re due to travel this October 😊

[@MakeLifeGrand]

@@mattsmith8031 it was incredible! We can’t wait to go back there- our favorite Sandals (so far). Enjoy your trip ☀️⛱️

Great video and podcast. Do you mind letting me know who your second set of butlers were during your stay?

[@wa1juun1ed]

Great video. You guys are terrific. Since you were using a butler this time how much would you suggest tipping them per day? Did you have two or three butlers taking care of you during your stay? Some of the Sandals resorts we have stayed at used three butlers other Sandals resorts used just two. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks Ed & Dawn

[@PenyakTravel]

Hi Ed & Dawn!! Thank you so much for following the channel! We typically do $25-$50 per day total depending on the level of service. Hope this helps!! Thanks again for checking out our channel and we’re glad you enjoy the content! ☺️🏝

You bet! ☺️

Hi!! Great Video. would you recomend staying at Baha Mar hotels? I am planing a visit to Nassau from Chile and we want a nice and quiet beach. Thanks

[@PenyakTravel]

We have stayed at Baha Mar before, fantastic resort. As you saw in this video we visited Baha Mar while staying at the Sandals (also an option). Both have great beaches!

[@emdeept]

Hello! Great content! We’re heading to Baha Mar for conference 2/10 but we’re going earlier on 2/7 and hoping to check in Sandals. Would they be able to shuttle us to Baha Mar on our transfer? Only if you know. I’m glad it’s all inclusive there, because Baha Mar is not….

[@PenyakTravel]

Hi! It's possible, I would check with the resort at check-in. The cab was very minimal and a short ride if you have to go that route. We've done it many times. Have a fun trip! You'll enjoy both resorts! Thanks for tuning into our channel!

[@SM-ix3iw]

thank you for your review. Which sandals are your favorite? Looking for a nice clean beach with clear water. Which resorts food was the best. Thought of going to couples in Negril but read reviews about room air condition issue & etc.

[@PenyakTravel]

It will really depend on your travel style and what you’re looking for in your trip. Overall we like Grenada, Exuma, and Montego Bay the best 👍

[@sweetexitstravel]

I just love you guys and all of your videos and reviews! We have a lot in common from loving dirty bananas, Jamaica and just basically traveling😀. I love watching your videos and it brings me such joy to see others living life and enjoying traveling to beautiful destinations! The resort doesn't look too crowded. What was the occupancy level at that time?

[@PenyakTravel]

Hey!!! Thanks for the kind words and tuning into the channel ☺️! It’s hard to beat a dirty banana in the Caribbean sun! The resort was about 95% when we were there. There weren’t many people on the private island which we really liked!

[@Happydog66]

These videos look like they are probably great with essential information for people curious about Sandals but the music comes in way too loud and I can't turn it down or I won't know when you guys are talking. Don't mean to complain but I feel like I'm missing out on some important info and tips by not being able to watch your videos because the shots look amazing.

[@PenyakTravel]

Hi! Thanks for tuning into the channel and for the feedback! We are working on the audio balance between the audio captured at the resort and the music overlay. We notice it as well. George needs to step it up on the editing 😂. I think out most recent videos have improved. Thanks again for subscribing to the channel!

[@Happydog66]

@@PenyakTravel Cool because they are great videos...very informative. I'm writing this, right now, from Sandals Royal Barbados and all night I've been keeping in mind your tips. I'll have a drink for you!!! Cheers!!!

[@kavenboston8695]

Waa it 4 or 5 days that you guys stayed? Seems like 2 weeks lol

[@PenyakTravel]

Hey, thanks for watching! We were there for 6 nights, but it felt like two weeks, always a good thing for a vacay to go by slow ☺️

[@hadziosmanovicalmir]

I love your video

[@PenyakTravel]

Thank you!!

[@brittnikoch4166]

Did you guys have to pay to eat at the casino restaurant or was that included?

[@PenyakTravel]

Hey! Thanks for tuning in to our channel! Yes, Baha Mar is not all inclusive and we went to enjoy the casino and try the restaurants. You’ll have to pay for all your food and bev while there.

[@kimmathias3591]

Did you have to pay to go to bar mar? How is June to go to sandals

[@PenyakTravel]

Just paid for a quick cab ride over. To get into the resort there is not a charge (to use the casino and enjoy their restaurants). June for Bahamas is fine, we travel in the summer months frequently.

[@agiandilettijr]

Hey there! Which Sandals resort would recommend for a honeymoon? Looking for a good mixture of quality in the rooms and but also best service and amenities! Thanks!

[@PenyakTravel]

Hi Anthony! Thanks for tuning into the channel! Great question! We get asked that often and we typically match the right resort to our clients travel style, so it really boils down to your specific travel style, do you prefer spending more time at the beach, pool, mix of both, budget, time of year you’re traveling, do you like to do a lot of activities off the resort, do you prefer a laid back resort atmosphere or upbeat. Honestly all are great options but will offer something unique to the traveler. All things equal our personal favorite is Curacao and Grenada, but that’s our personal preference. ☺️

[@agiandilettijr]

@@PenyakTravel this helps a lot. We looked at Curaçao but it doesn’t seem to have a big beach and we were wanting a bigger one. We were also possible thinking of a butler suite at the new renovated Royal Bahamian?

[@PenyakTravel]

@@agiandilettijr what time of year are you traveling, Bahamas can be a tad chilly in the winer months. Royal Bahamian beach is on the smaller side but you have the private island. Emerald Bay, Antigua, Montego Bay also have huge beaches. Feel free to reach out to Janet for some customized recommendations [e-mail]. We’ve been to every Sandals Resort. Hope this helps, we’d be glad to also offer up recommendations for excursions, things to do while in destination, express airport fast passes, etc. Hope this helps! ☺️

[@siggybrz]

Thanks for the video. I’m going there on my honeymoon in 3 weeks. Did you do any excursions that are must dos?

[@PenyakTravel]

Thanks for watching and congrats 🎉 on the wedding! Yes, we would highly recommend spending some time at the private island part of the resort, it’s really relaxing! You can snorkel directly off the beach there and sometimes can catch a sea turtle and stingray. Also, Baha Mar is a large Vegas style resort and casino that’s a 5 minute cab away, free to go and enjoy the casino and their restaurants. They have a really good steakhouse there, pricey but very good. Safe travels and enjoy your honeymoon! ❤️🏝🍹

[@siggybrz]

@@ricb9697 not at all. I certainly was t blown away though. Service was less than great

[@tylerwarren201]

Is it possible if you stay at this resort to play the golf course at the Emerald Bay resort? The renovations make this one look phenomenal . I would love to play the Emerald Bay course, but the resort just seems a little outdated for the cost.

[@PenyakTravel]

Hi Tyler! Emerald Bay is on a separate island, you’d have to fly over there for the day and probably pay to play (we don’t believe the golf is included if you stay at Royal Bahamian). If you have concerns about the updates at Emerald Bay you could always consider a split stay (3 nights at one and then transfer to the other for 3 nights). The golf at Exuma is amazing! Hope this helps! There’s also good golf around the Royal Bahamian resort as well, it’s just not part of the resort.
