We enjoyed our long weekend at The Sands. We stayed in a family room on the ground floor, golf course side. Having two inter connecting rooms was spacious and gave the kids their own bathroom. We enjoyed the facilities, including the pool and tennis courts. We also walked to the beach for a swim. The restaurant’s food was delicious and it was so handy walking to the restaurant for drinks and dinner. The staff were lovely. The rooms were calm and inviting, tastefully decorated in a coastal theme. The beds were so comfortable and we all slept well. We will definitely be back!

The room was lovely - comfortable, lots of space, great balcony. The staff were all young and friendly. The food was excellent and the breakfast buffet was superb. The dining areas window ledges were a little grubby (I wasn’t comfortable putting my handbag beside me on the floor) The main dining room lacked ambience and had a bit of a pub feel. No carpet so quite noisy. A pity because it took away from the delicious food.
