The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely balcony that faced the ocean across the road. Although we were on the ground floor and couldn't see the ocean due to the trees, we could still hear the waves and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze. The two pools were fantastic, featuring a shallow area for the little ones. The resort also boasted great barbecue areas and fantastic tennis courts. If you decided to leave the resort, the beach, golf and bowling clubs, and the main street were all within an easy walk.

Very spacious, clean apartment, perfect for families, with the resort having 2 pools and a spa for the kids. Location was excellent right by the ocean and a short walk to the town centre. My only feedback, was it would be nice to see some basic condiments in the apartment such as oil or salt/pepper - but really my only comment

Undercover parking convenient. Easy access to amenities.The unit was perfect for our golf group. The unit was mostly clean and tidy. The bathrooms were clean but the grouting needs a good scrub with mould killer or grouting replaced. The drain in the 2nd bathroom was not draining properly. There was a broken glass in the pantry. We would still recommend The Sands for our trip next year.
