Having just spent the past two weeks at Sands Suites Resort and Spa for a special occasion, the property, facilities, food, but primarily the staff exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived after our 12hr direct LGW to SSR International, we were greeted individually by the Hotel Manager, offered breakfast overlooking the pool and Tamarin Bay by the wonderful reception and restaurant staff, and then provided a personalised tour of the complex and the room before settling in. The room was large and spacious with a King size bed, 42" TV, mini fridge and plenty of storage space. It had a separate spacious bathroom consisting of twin wash basins, a bath tub, walk in shower, walk in closet and separate toilet. Everything was provided, from bodywash and lotion, loufers, hand and bath towels, flannels, sewing kits and a hairdryer; everything is there ! The hotel provides two 700ml bottles of drinking water per person, free of charge daily, and a mini bar with extra water, however the contents of the mini bar are chargeable. There is also a safe in the room at no extra charge. Sunbeds are plentiful around the pool decking and on the beach, and supplied with umbrellas and towels. As with all the staff at this resort, the pool team also excel and pride themselves on providing a unique first class experience where nothing is too much trouble; the only time to are expected to leave your sunbed is for the toilet or to take a dip in the large pool.

This is a beautiful place to stay, I enjoyed the resort so much, it was magical. In my opinion, the best location in the area. The staff are amazing, kind and attentive. My only reservation is that the bathrooms, particularly the showers and toilets could be a lot cleaner. I had to point out the state of the toilet discolouration and the mould in the shower. The response was amazing and every attempt was made to rectify the situation. I believe an upgrade to the tiling in the showers would be beneficial and a more frequent deep clean of the toilets, is a must. The sauna and steam room facilities were great, however, the jacuzzi was dirty and greasy. This should be cleaned more frequently, i.e. in between each session, as we were unable to use it knowing that we would be sitting in other peoples dead cells and grime! The food was truly amazing and the restaurant staff in the Tamarind restaurant, were particularly outstanding. Wine was very expensive but great quality and the sommelier was a true asset. The boat house facilities were great too, however, the staff should be more attentive and inform/direct people in a more committed way. I felt that we were not informed adequately enough about procedures in respect to when and which boat to board. Overall, this was a great place to stay and I would definitely return, however, I do think some upgrade to the bathrooms is required, plus cleaning procedures should be stepped up in these areas. I would have loved to have give 5 stars

Sands Resort is truly an amazing place to stay. From the breathtaking views to the warm and attentive staff, every detail makes the experience unforgettable. The food is exceptional, offering a variety of delicious options, while the facilities are top-notch and cater to every need. I would highly recommend Sands Resort to travellers looking for a blend of comfort, peacefulness, luxury, and genuine hospitality.
