Our stay at the Sands was ok, but fell short of expectations. The rooms were pretty tired looking and not kept well to actually be a 5 star resort. Staff was inconsistent, some were great but others just seemed not too eager to help. I will say that both those negative aspects are contributed by a lot of guests that just don’t seem to care; saw people throwing garbage everywhere, trashing rooms (sad for cleaning team), and being rude to the staff. Traveling with kids is challenging but no excuse to not be respectful.

Second year in a row coming to this hotel. Us and our three children. Amazing hotel! The facilities, the super friendly and helpful sfaff! The location and the proximity to the village. The wonderful pools and the gorgeous beach. The variety of the food at the breakfast, the spa and the new option to have the massage on the beach as part of the spa. Love this place!

Even though I ordered room service, I had to wait over two hours. I contacted them twice, but they were not very sincere in their responses. I felt sorry for the children because they were hungry. There are plenty of pools and play areas for children. It's a five-star hotel for kids and a three-star hotel for adults. Most of the staff were smiling and full of hospitality.

Shops within walking distance nearby was a plus to add some variety. Our room needed a refresher but otherwise direct access to the pool is great for the kids. The resort is large though and bicycles wouldve been a great facility, even the workers use them. Plenty of amenity and we enjoyed ourselves there

Property has seen better days. There were bagworms hanging from the toilet roof, toilet fittings are mouldy and rusting. Rooms smelt like they had been air freshened with toilet deodorant. Bedroom furniture is also worn out and not kept in good condition. It could also have been the season when I was visiting, but there are flies everywhere at dining premises. The main restaurant we used for breakfast was not air conditioned, which probably exacerbated the flies issue. On the upside, the pools were very nice, it was about the part of the stay that we enjoyed the most. We checked out 2 days early and moved to another hotel. Definitely not the 4.5 stars that it's meant to be.

Family pool access room great with kids however balcony was so short you could not recline the deck chairs while facing the pool, other pool access rooms facing kids areavlooked like they had larger balconies. Kids club was great for kids. Beach is nice, too rough to swim in during the low season. Little ahop onsite was handy and shoet walk to many restaurants, cheaper than eating at hotel. Life jackets provided for swimming if required. Kids slides good for kids under 5. Room with showers and toilets for late check out was great.
