We have just returned from a fantastic stay at the Sands Resort. We have 3 children, 1 aged 3 and twins aged 17 months. I went with high expectations having read the website and the other reviews and was not disappointed. The facilities and staff were fantastic - the most friendly and helpful staff I have encountered. The facilities in... More

We stayed here for a week in late April, so very much off season! It was very quiet, which meant that mealtimes were (relatively) peaceful, the kids recognised each other at tea time and so forth, but there was very little other activity laid on for them. Ours are 3 and 1 so not an issue, but older kids might... More

A thoroughly enjoyable holiday from start to finish. From the moment we checked in we were greeted by efficient, friendly and courteous staff who couldn't do enough to ensure our holiday experience was second to none. The food was amazing, we felt like we were eating at a top restaurant every night! In fact my 13 yr old son commented... More

We booked Sands before our baby was even born so were just hopeful it would meet our needs. It did that and so much more.. From the delicious food, huge room, amazing sea view and helpful staff we couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend. More

After searching high and low for the perfect family holiday I found it at Sands! From the moment we made our booking by telephone to the time we checked out the staff were professional, friendly and go out of thier way to help. The room was clean and very well laid out with the most beautiful sea view. We had... More

We had a amazing time at Sands Resort (family of 5 with kids aged 6, 4 and 2). Our kids loved the clubs and the facilities were brilliant. Although the hotel was fully booked, it never felt over crowded - we had the pool to ourselves for 2 hours one day! My wife and I also really enjoyed having some... More

We just returned from a 5 day stay at Sands Resort and loved it. We have two children (4 and 1) who both enjoyed the facilities on offer for kids, in particular the high tea and subsequent entertainment. We didn't use the kids' clubs though, mainly because they only ran during the morning and evening and we wanted to go... More

We've just returned from our third visit to Sands and I can honestly say that with a young family (3,6 and 9) it's the most relaxing break we ever get. We always have a room with a sea view and it's truly beautiful. The best bit of the day is when the children have just been tucked up and you're... More

This week the 3rd room will be finished and then the showers will be next job the list. We are having to do them whilst the spa... More

This was our second stay at Sands resort, honestly there is no need to go abroad for a family holiday. You have it all at Sands and in the local area. Staff are so lovely, I could not believe I recognised all the same faces from last year. The staff love it at Sands! Food was great, rooms lovely and... More

This was our second trip over Easter to the Sands Resort with our two children (3 and 5), the last trip was when they were 1 and 3. The staff were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. We love the fact that the kids have something to do if you stay in the hotel, kids clubs are great and... More
