Perfect stay for the slopes in north shore! My favorite thing about Tahoe Sands Resort was the extra-communicative staff (Linda and Sophie - great job!). The resort's staff communicated bad weather updates, check-in processes, amenities and more all via text, and that made me so comfortable driving into a snow storm and knowing I'd have a warm place to rest my head and relax after the slopes. We stayed in a two-bedroom condo, and I cannot recommend that room type enough. It was cozy, clean and had great views of the grounds/lake (two balconies). The kitchen was stocked with all of the comforts of home, the showers were hot and it was so nice to have space to chill in the living room and also be able to watch tv in bed. We loved this place and will be back.

Lovely one-bed suite, comfortable and spacious: clean, well maintained and well/ equipped. Great pool and hot tub, easy beach access with loungers (yes, we did swim in lake!) Very helpful and efficient staff - Sophie and team, maintenance ( who sorted bbq for our use). Altogether wonderful couple of nights- hope to return someday (from UK)

We had great customer service from Sophie, Emmanuel, Angelica, Linda, Sarah, and Chris. They are kind, friendly, and attentive. Secondly, the location is perfect… beach front! The view of Lake Tahoe is awesome! We recommend a one bedroom lakeside. The room has a full refrigerator, living room, and bedroom. The pool is warm and clean.

Appliances and fridge not working properly, old dirty looking shower, lack heating, bed can be more comfortable. Had issue keeping food frozen and fresh in the fridge. Otherwise great location, customer service and pretty decent cleanliness.

I must first say that I never write bad reviews for businesses, especially during a time where local businesses are struggling to find employees and recovering after the pandemic. However, after countless times trying to resolve various issues with our visit in February, I felt the need to write a negative review. We are former Tahoe residents, who now frequent north lake during ski season. We have stayed all over the lake, from rustic cottages to budget hotels. We are accustomed to accommodations not being ideal, and we deal with it, with no complaints. However, when it the unit lacks heat during one of the coldest weeks of the year, it's a deal breaker. My son and I were really looking forward to staying at Tahoe Sands for ski week. We have stayed at the resort a few times, and refer our friends as well. I booked 5 days, and our friends stayed in another unit for 4 nights. A storm arrived for the first couple of days, with freezing temperatures, snow accumulation, and high winds. We arrived later in the day after dealing with heavy traffic during the storm. The cabin was cold when we arrived, so we turned on the little gas fireplace. As we sat in the kitchen area wearing our winter jackets and hats trying to keep warm, we noticed snow blowing in the front door of the cabin! At first we thought it was funny, as I quickly placed a large towel around the frame of the door where the snow was collecting. We soon realized that the heater in our cabin was not properly working. My son and I were beyond cold our first night, as the heater completely turned off during the night, and every night thereafter. I notified the front desk, and we were given a space heater the next day. Even with the space heater and the dysfunctional gas fireplace, we were still extremely cold. I asked if we could change rooms (I even offered to clean our room), but that request was denied. I asked for a refund for the first night, or a discount at least, but that was denied as well. Had it not been such a busy week with everything booked around North Lake Tahoe and Truckee, we would have left the resort. By the end of our trip, my son and I had a terrible cold and flu. In all the years of staying at a place in Lake Tahoe, this was our worst experience. We were highly disappointed with the response from the front desk. I even reached out to the main corporate offices (Grand Pacific Resorts) with no luck. There was also a discrepancy on our last bill where I was due a small amount of $21.84. I was just notified that my request for that amount was denied. Wow! I am still in shock over the lack of quality customer service and accountability at Tahoe Sands.…

Tahoe Sands is a family friendly resort. We really felt the attention to detail when entering the room. It was SPOTLESS! Our kids loved being on the first floor. We could open our screen door and let them run around the courtyard, swing on the swing set, use the slide and play on the beach. Happy kids = happy mom.

Tahoe sands is the perfect place to rest your head at night after a long day of skiing. We typically ski at North star and we are so happy to have found this hidden gem. It is a quick drive to the mountain or you can take a free tart/ bus. Grocery store is very close by too. The location is too good.

The resort is great, the staff is super helpful, the rooms could use an upgrade especially in the kitchen but overall it's a great location to vacation, to be clear we travel here on winter time to enjoy the snow and we were not able to enjoy the lake or it's activities but we heard that they are very good too during the summer months

First trip since Covid started. I am very grateful to be able to travel again. Property is historic and it housed the olympic athletes from the 1960 Squaw Valley winter olympics! Quiet time of year to visit in October. I was lucky enough to see snow. They have the most helpful and professional staff. I love Tahoe. Peaceful and relaxing stay.
