As a family with two little ones (3 year old and a 8 month old), this was our first time staying at a family friendly resort. When we got to the hotel, we were very happy with our room - there was a lot of space and the view was stunning! We booked a three night stay and a spa... More

We have stayed at Sands three times in the last three years, first with my son when he was one and subsequently with my son and daughter. I really cannot speak highly enough of the place. The room layouts are very thoughtfully set out, they are very clean and well presented, the hotel staff are unfailingly helpful and cheerful, the... More

My overall stay at sands last week was excellent but I have got to say my last minute treatment in their spa was excellent. The spa was warm, cosy and was Immaculate. My therapist was so welcoming and friendly and provided me with a fantastic spa taster experience. Feeling so relaxed after my treatment I was shown to the spa's... More

The hotel is excellent. It seems to cater well for both families and couples as there are many different dining options, room types and bar/lounge areas. This was our first ever hotel visit with 3 children and after a stressful start (baby's sleeping bag left at home), we soon relaxed. The rooms are excellent and the childrens' room has plenty...

Hi Thanks for your kind words about Sands, I'm glad that you and your family got the most from holiday. With regard to the gym we previously had a small gym with limited equipment that was free. We canvassed guests to see if they would be happy to pay for the use of a modern gym with air conditioning and... More

The hotel is pleasant enough, but it will not surpass your modest expectations. The rooms are well sized and clean enough. There is a soft play area for kids inside, and a large playground outside with hedge maze, swings, etc. A day care is organized for school age children. There is an indoor swimming pool, which is teeming kids all... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for the many nice things you say about the hotel and food. Whilst I am sorry that you were not pleased with the breakfast I do feel your description of our breakfast offer is a little unfair. We are not a boutique hotel and do not have an onsite... More

We spent 5 nights over Easter with dinner, bed and breakfast. Once our boys discovered the evening club with children of similar ages they ate early at the childrens tea allowing us parents to eat our 3 course meal alone overlooking the clifftops and seaview. The food was good and the setting lovely. We ate with our boys the first... More

Just returned from a fabulous 4 day break at the Sands Resort! 6 girls with 12 children between us (aged 3m - 3 1/2) and this hotel exceeded all our expectations. Thoughtful attention to detail and attentive, friendly and helpful staff made this hotel stand out. Bottle warmers and sterilisers provided on request, DVD player in rooms, great outdoor play...

We stayed for six nights just after the Easter peak season. I was really delighted at how lovely and helpful the staff were and the quality of the rooms and food and the wide range of activities and facilities for the children. We got a really good deal, going out of season, and I would say it was outstanding value... More
