My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon in May 2012. On arrival we were shown to our room, which was ready and that was much appreciated after a long overnight flight. We were given a room on the top floor, which I had pre-requested before our visit. The rooms aren’t overly luxurious, but they’re well appointed and clean... More

You have to hand it to them - full credit to the management and staff. It's as if they have read every negative comment about hotels on TripAdvisor and solved those problems before they happen. The highlights for me: - The rooms are really comfortable and whisper quiet - The service is incredible - The breakfast and dinner buffets are... More

We visited the Sands Resort the 2nd week in May 2012 and had a great time. Excellent service from the staff, the rooms were clean, comfy and spacious, (all have air-con and sea view). We stayed in Room 116 (ground floor) with not much of a view, but they offered us another room (233) without any hesitation. I would recommend... More

We recently stayed at this resort for five nights as part of an on line Expedia package. We are pleased with Expedia's handling and organisation. The resort is very well placed in Flic En Flac important at this time of the year with high winds likely on the other side of the island. The resort itself is well laid out,... More
