Nassau, Bahamas – Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Off Shore Island is on track to re-open its doors in October, revamped and renovated, in time for what is shaping up to be its best winter season ever.
Highly regarded for its rich regal history, the 60-year old resort is set to unveil a newly renovated Windsor pool and restored Balmoral pool deck as well as major upgrades to five of its restaurants to include re-roofing. Meanwhile, the Windsor Ballroom is undergoing significant improvements to include updated audio visual equipment and soft furnishings. Other repair work being undertaken extends to the resort’s Red Lane Spa and an overhaul of electrical systems in select areas. Several rooms and suites affected by recent emergency maintenance issues are also being restored.
The widespread work is being undertaken as the resort refines its commitment to consistently elevate its offerings and provide guests with the World’s Leading Caribbean resort chain’s Luxury Included® vacation experience.
“We are excited about the future of Sandals Royal Bahamian and look forward to celebrating its re-opening in October. The resort is on track to realize its best winter season and our actions now are in preparation for that very feat. This necessary remedial work is aimed at preserving our place in the market by ensuring Sandals Royal Bahamian is in the best shape of its life and its staff, who have the privilege of serving our guests, are also the industry’s very best,” says Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart, Chairman of Sandals Resorts International. “Our guests deserve nothing less and neither does the world-class legacy of Bahamian tourism.”
The repairs and upgrades which forced the resort’s closure on August 15 are being fast-tracked at an estimated cost of $4M and are to be implemented within 14 weeks - a massive feat itself, considering the original time-frame for completion was appraised at four months.
Simultaneously, the screening and re-hiring processes to engage the resort’s full complement of 750 staff are currently underway. This will also involve the SRI team carrying out extensive training of talents, to guarantee full mobilization upon re-opening and thus ensuring the company’s award winning services are consistently maintained at the highest level.
“We have been in The Bahamas for over 20 years,” says Stewart, “and we absolutely love The Bahamas. We want to express our gratitude and appreciation to The Bahamian government and its people for working with us in a spirit of cooperation to ensure a successful and timely re-opening; a celebration we will mark with our re-energized staff, industry partners, travel agents, airline executives and key players who build businesses for a better Bahamas.”
These latest upgrades follow multi-million dollar renovation projects over the past four years to include the addition of swim-up river suites, full refurbishment of luxurious suites with the installation of new bathrooms featuring Carrera marble and glass mosaics, magnificent showers and soaking tubs as well as the impressive upgrade to the entire Balmoral Tower.
