Last year, the former Manor Building at Sandals Royal Bahamian underwent a complete transformation both inside and out, reopening with a new contemporary feel. Renamed ‘The Balmoral Tower’ in recognition of its rich regal history, the $17.5m renovation was unveiled to much acclaim and has since attracted glowing praise from both the travel industry and guests alike.
