Our 3rd visit to the Sands did not disappoint. We love this hotel for its wonderful reception staff, great food and wonderful kids clubs and entertainment. Our kids love it too. The large contemporary rooms are ideal for a family of four and how wonderful to wake up to the sight of the ocean. Rainy days are easily filled with entertainment, swimming and coffees with the paper while the kids have a happy 2 hours in kids club. Such a relaxing happy place for busy families.

We stayed at new year for the second time and it lived up to expectations again. The staff are exceptionally helpful, food superb and children facilities excellent. My children aged 8, 7 and 5 happy so makes happy parents especially as weather disappointing. We would like to go back again.

We stayed for 2 nights in September with our 2 year old in a family comfort sea view room. It was great for our daughter to be in her own room and we could relax and watch tv without being concerned we'd wake her.
We used the baby listening service, which meant we could enjoy a 3 course meal and some time together before no.2 arrived.
If travelling with toddlers, the early tea is great. You can pick and mix from a hot and cold selection of foods and help yourself to a coffee whilst they eat.
The soft play area and swimming pool are great and the local beaches are beautiful. Would recommend and will return if want a local short break again in future.

Just had our staff Christmas party here and I have to say, there is nothing negative about this place! The hotel itself was lovely, well maintained and clean. The rooms were so big, with amazing views and everything we needed.
Our Christmas dinner was delicious and the waiters/waitresses were very attentive to our needs and all done with a smile on their face. Then, to help us work off all those calories, they put on the perfect Christmas disco with not only all the old cheesy tunes (think Wham, 80s power ballads/rock, 70s and 60s classics!) but the D.J had some current ones too. What ever we asked for, he had it!!
The bar staff were very patient with us, as I got the impression they thought they were in for an early night. Oh, how wrong they were! So I'd like to apologise, to Jay especially, for keeping him up way past his bed time and to thank him for his excellent customer service, for keeping the shots coming (oh, and the late night chocolate fix too!)
Overall, I can't fault the place and will be returning.
P.S I hope the Reindeer wasn't too traumatised!
P.P.S My apologies if we kept anyone awake with our late night Air Hockey/ Table Tennis tournament in the games room (something for everyone, so much fun!)
