Great family resort.

The Sands is a great resort for families and especially those with younger children. The pools are great and also there is a good playground area. We loved the rooms with their own pools,these were also great for young families. I'd highly recommend this resort.

Again a nice stay at Sands.
Juha, 10-night trip

6/10 Good

Even though I ordered room service, I had to wait over two hours. I contacted them twice, but they were not very sincere in their responses. I felt sorry for the children because they were hungry. There are plenty of pools and play areas for children. It's a five-star hotel for kids and a three-star hotel for adults. Most of the staff were smiling and full of hospitality.

Good hotel with friendly staff. A bit worn down though.. but over all good! A big plus was that they had knowledge about glutenintolerance and had an all glutenfree meny! Good for me as a person with celiac disease :)

Great Facilities and Service, but Lacking Evening

Almost everything about our stay was excellent. The pools were fantastic and a real highlight for the whole family. Breakfast was good and well worth the price. The staff at the Flying Market restaurant and in the kids club were exceptionally friendly and provided great service. The only downsides were the slow-running water and inconsistent shower temperature in our room, which unfortunately were not fixed despite informing the staff, and the lack of evening activities — the hotel feels completely dead at night with nothing to do.

Amazing seaview from our suite. Great selection for breakfast.

Super friendly safe, dream holiday for kids, waterpark and indoor playcenter were great fun. Clean and tidy facilities. Highly recommend to families seeking a kids resort with lots of space, pools and about everything you could want a holiday resort to have...
Colin, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely resort! I feel the resort is best suited to families with children under 7 - as everything shuts down so early. Lots of babies and young children and programs for the littles. The nightly performances and live shows were wonderful room was spacious clean and felt like a taste of home - loads of room to spread out kids stuff and still have space leftover Food was average but there were awesome restaurants when you walk down the beach The beach was spectacular! Warm sea water and clean!

Excellent resort in Khao Lak. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable beds. Pools were amazing and both big and small kids absolutely loved lazy river. Food at Talay restaurant was delicious and staff always helpful. Definitely recommend this resort to everyone.

The Hotel is good, but early check in is not possible.
Marco, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Khao Lak is about 75 km from Phuket Airport and is a very quiet area because it is a so-called suburb. The hotel's hospitality level is very high. The main restaurant, Italian restaurant, and various pools are very relaxing. If you go to the main street Phet Kasem Road, about a 5-minute walk away, there are many restaurants, souvenir shops, 7-Eleven, local supermarkets, and massage shops, which will satisfy most of your desires.

Amazing hotel

We absolutely loved our stay with all. Staff are so attentive and friendly couldn’t do enough to help us. We were lucky enough to be there for new years eve oh my goodness what a party!! Totally unexpected as we didn’t know it was happening, amazing food, entertainment, and the staff worked so hard all day and evening.

Excellent place for families with young kids to enjoy and unwind. There is no need to go out of the property to look for something. Everything ia available here!
Hafizah Binte Shariff, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Liked that it was right on the beach and close to small town. Liked that it had a water park and kids club on site. Did not like that it was very crowded and too many people, too few sun beds. Staff were also not very Good at understanding English.
Philip Winston, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely quiet getaway, but don’t be sneaky

Overall was a good stay, however a bit of a swifty was pulled - we paid for a family pool suite, and clearly was the junior pool suite (difference of around $40 AUD per night) - but were told it was the right room just in a different area - but their room layouts on their own website disprove this. The room was probably preferable in the end (more private) but the fact we paid more, and they tried to do this secretly. Also happened to two other families we spoke to while there. Beds were rock hard and pillows too soft so we slept poorly (we left a feedback form after the first night, but was never picked up) The general manner of the staff was fine - FoH staff were not as friendly as you’d expect, but hospitality and room service were absolutely lovely. The facilities were good, great pools, and pool side rooms are a must to avoid noise all day long. BBQ buffet was sensational. I would give it a 7/10 overall, slightly generous seeing the room issue.
Chris, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Many areas for all to enjoy. Rooms very comfortable. Even asked to by mattress topper as it was so comfortable. Some areas need maintenance such as Aqua Zone with rust and sharp edges. Timber rotting around pool access rooms and plenty of ant's. Overall will def come back. Easy walk to shops, markets and restaurants. And cheaper than Patong region. 6 times to Thailand and Khao Lak has been the best. And Sands best resort so far
Danial, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quiteness. There should be more adult outdoor activities with group competition. The 2 singers during dinner were very good and versatile. Should have a time slot to invite diners to come on stage to sing or with the 2 singers.
Kok Yeo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort is wonderful for kids. The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds and facilities are clean and well kept up. The breakfast buffet was varied and something for everyone. We often sat there for an hour enjoying the breakfast and atmosphere. We loved the water park. Just have to pay attention to the schedule for the slide and lazy river. But the kids got used to that and enjoyed it so much that they even used it in the rainy days. The beach is walkable but no one was using the many lounging chairs because it was rainy season with red flags warnings. I highly recommend this resort for anyone who has children
