Stayed in room 105 , 3 bedroom facing the car park . apartment first class , finishing's 5 star as advertised . The beds were hard but for 4 days not a problem . We arrived early and allowed to park in allocated space , room was ready a couple of hours early and a phone call allowed us access early . The location is first class, beach straight outside apartment , walk in to Scarborough along marine drive was easy and flat . We booked and visited the Alpamare waterpark and were very impressed and would recommend a visit. Only a couple of items to mention on the negative side the bars / restaurants that are located at the sands , one appears to close at 5 pm so we tried to get a meal in the other one only to be turned away at 6 pm because they were short staffed , we had tried to book earlier that day to be told they only operate on walk ins . On another night they closed at 6 pm because of staffing shortages , lets hope its a short term problem . The Sands are great accommodation in a great location , to the extent that I thought about not posting the review in case we cannot get in next time we want to visit . Thanks for a great break away , all the family enjoyed it .…

We love to visit Scarborough & particularly love staying at The Sands in a prime location in the North Bay with easy access to a convenience store & bar/restaurant. Well kept apartments with secure parking, a stones throw from Peaseholme park & right on the seashore. Apartments come fully equipped, are stylish & tastefully decorated and furnished & beds are comfortable. We’d highly recommend a stay.

This was our first time staying at the sands apartments. We were in room 102 which was a dog friendly apartment over looking the beach. It did not disappoint. The apartment was immaculate. On arrival I was asked to sign a dog policy, this included a list of rules we were asked to follow which included: no dogs allowed in the bedrooms/on the sofa or balcony etc. This didn't really bother me however I found some rules to be trivial. Half way through my stay at 9 30pm I found a dog policy had been pushed underneath my door. No comments were made just the policy. I read through it and noted I had followed the listed requirements. I rang reception and because it was now closed I was given a telephone number to call. I spoke to a gentleman who told me he had a complaint made to him regarding a dog that had urinated outside on the grass, he began to tell me that he believed it wasn't my dog but had to put a policy through each individuals door who had a dog friendly apartment. He went on to say that dogs are not to urinate on the grass outside and had to be taken on the beach or off the complex. This began to make my blood boil. Why shouldn't my dog urinate on the grass? He's a dog and why on the beach where children play?? I made my points very clear after all this was meant to be dog friendly and my dog was outside. I was told my dog needed to urinate off the complex. I was furious I explained on waking on a morning my dog would find it difficult to leave the apartment come down two flights of stairs, pass the grass where he isn't aloud to urinate down the concrete steps out of the gate and onto the promenade. I made my point clear that my dog has been trained to urinate on grass from been a puppy and will continue to wee or produce bowel movements where necessary.…
