  Restful and relaxing holiday.

  Picturesque location and beautiful beach. Accommodation perfectly suitable for a family. Excellent value for money. Daily room maintenance perfect and clean. Not excessive noise and what would be expected at this type of resort. Service in the bar and restaurant excellent. Particular mention of those who stood out as helpful and hard working members of staff are Danelle for her enterprising work in preparing the beach each morning. Greg the bar person who was always happy and helpful. Destiny for her engaging personality and good humour in the restaurant. The omelette makers, and Management staff Koffi and Nicholai and Jezz the Beach and bar attendant.

  Wonderful Christmas Holiday

  Spent Christmas at The Sands. The room overlooking the garden and pool was spacious. The staff were hardworking and went out of their way to ensure your holiday was going well. There was always something we liked in the restaurant, the pastry chef was amazing. Plenty of sunbeds, even when the hotel got full towards the end of our stay. Beds are reserved and left but staff put out another bed. Overall we had a really good holiday and would return.

  BE AWARE

  I was at the Sands hotel from 12 to 15 th Dec as part of a cruise package. ( Imagine Cruising). The hotel was a disaster- the cruise brilliant. 1 On arrival shown to a ground floor apartment— No hot water! No hot water for 3 mornings we were there! Management disinterested! 2. A/C in lounge broken. 3 Only 1 of 2 ceiling fans working in lounge. 4. Numerous cupboards but most of them locked 5. Approach to room was down a dingy ,dirty corridor used by the cleaners 6So called music kicked off at 10 am - went on till 11 pm in one form or another. . No where was free for a quiet read and to enjoy views of the sea. 6.Food was mediocre at best ! 7. The majority of staff were friendly and helpful but 10% of them were non communicative and had attitude problem.. 8 The pool is a waste of time! Depth range from ankle height at one end to waist height at other 9. Speciality restaurant not open. We stayed in room 69.. We’ve stayed in numerous 4 star hotels around the Carribean. This hotel is nowhere near their standard! BE AWARE

  Nice Beach Hotel

  The Sands is a very nice, small hotel and ideal for exploring the local area. First appearances are very deceptive with the entrance and reception resembling a motel, but money has been spent on rooms which are large, spacious and very comfortable.  The hotel literally runs onto a white sand beach and there was no problems with sun beds during our stay. The restaurant is unusual in that there’s a buffet breakfast - when you are asked for times to book lunch and dinner, even though tables were readily available during our weeks stay. The food quality was variable and there appeared to be no logic in when lunch and/or dinner was buffet or set menu. We found out by accident that there is a cooked snack menu throughout the day which needs to be better advertised. Easy access into Bridgetown or Oisten by bus, taxi or - if you want to try local transportation the Reggae Bus. These are mini buses stopping when you want to get on, and will drop you off where you want. Loud reggae music for the journey and, as an example, the cost is 2 US$ per person to go into Bridgetown. The reception, cleaning and management staff are very friendly and helpful although, in our experience, the younger bar staff need to learn how to deal with paying guests from the excellent Jacqueline, whilst the unsmiling restaurant staff need to learn from the excellent example set by Cyrilene. We really enjoyed our week at the Sands and would return.
