SRI to celebrate 25 years operating in The Bahamas
Over 200 rooms and suites set to be “reimagined” in time for November 4 reopening
NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Sandals Resorts International (SRI) has announced that as part of its plans to honor the brand’s 25th anniversary in The Bahamas, the luxury all-inclusive resort company will embark on a multimillion-dollar renovation of Sandals Royal Bahamian, the brand’s award-winning hotel, spa and private island located in Nassau, Bahamas.
This comes after Trade Union Congress President Obie Ferguson recently criticized Sandals’ decision to push back the reopening of the Royal Bahamian property, claiming that the union was not involved in the process and asking: “How are workers going to survive?”
The resort had previously been slated to reopen on January 28, but that date was first pushed back to March 31 before this new November date.
An SRI statement noted that as part of the planned enhancements, the resort will unveil several new features and facilities like the addition of iconic river suites as well as the refurbishment of over 200 rooms and suites.
“So as not to intrude upon the guest experience, the resort will remain closed while construction is underway and will reopen ahead of the winter season November 4,” the statement read.
SRI Executive Chairman Adam Stewart said: “Sandals Royal Bahamian has a storied past and played a starring role in the history of Bahamian tourism, hosting rock stars and royalty, and we pledge our continued commitment to this captivating island.
“We honor and celebrate our partnership with this great destination looking forward not only to reopening this fall, but to the future, when together, Sandals and The Bahamas will continue to exceed our guests’ expectations.”
According to SRI, guests with reservations at Sandals Royal Bahamian during its closure will be accommodated at the available Sandals resort of their choice, including Sandals Emerald Bay, Exuma, for guests wishing to keep their reservation in The Bahamas. Sandals Resorts will also assume all airline change fees, the company said.
