I wish I liked this property more, Mark, the manager seems like a very nice guy who is committed to improving the hotel so here is our review.
Pros: right on the beach, smaller (compared to blue bay), quiet property), good buffet options that changes...More
On the day of my departure, I managed to forget my phone at the reception. I discovered this mistake as soon as I got to the airport, and tried to call the hotel. No answer, even though I tried several times. I then sent an...More

Good day Tereza K, thank you for your question. I can put your mind at ease. Bottled water is refreshed daily in your rooms for your consumption. And there is also plenty of bottled water available here at the resort as well. We also have a water treatment plant on site where we treat our water which comes into the resort. Chlorination of water used at all the Food preparation areas and also Bar areas falls into line with WHO Health Standards of between 3-5ppm (parts per million) this helps tremendously with standards of water used on the resort. However everyone is different and we can pick up a stomach bug or upset stomach from a number of different causes so it is always good practice to follow sensible hygiene precautions whilst travelling away from home.
Hope this helps!
At Sultansands & Bluebay we have four al -carte restaurant and 2 main restaurant with a 14 day cycle theme menu.
we also do organise private beach dinners under the stars on the beach.
