Always lovely
We have been to The Sands many times. We just love the resort and the staff is always so accommodating. My husband and I usually try to go in Dec. for my birthday and then in Feb or March. We will get back at some point in early spring of 2025 we hope!! We want to thank Yudelka for helping with our reservation last time she was so helpful. As always we want to thank our friend Barbara Rigby who is always available when you need her. The consummate professional. The ladies at the front desk skilled and knowledgeable especially Meshell Cox.The rooms are nicely updated and some have kitchens and most have lovely views. Anyone staying at the Sands must go to Hemingways Resturant!! The food is amazing from Chef Alix. We love the lobster and filet!! also the local favorite and ours too, the conch fritters served in a beautiful shell !! When needing a reservation and a special request for a party or Birthday, Carolyn is always there to make it happen. When at the bar WES makes incredible cocktails ask for his suggestions :) The beach is heavenly and Delroy is the person to help you book that special excursion. His crew always attentive to your needs on the beach. Hope to visit this very special resort soon 🌸🙏💕

Beautiful resort
The sands is great resort situated at a convenient location on Grace Bay. There is lots of shopping and restaurants a short drive / bike ride away. The property itself is beautiful, with large rooms, more like apartments, with screened in porches. The beach and pool were pristine.

Beach was amazing, rooms ok
The beach is amazing. You need to know the secret formula for ensuring that you get chairs and an umbrella by checking in with The Beach Boys. The one bedroom ocean view suite was the last building from the water and we were glad it was the top floor to be able to get a view. Inside, it was spacious, but tired. Despite an apparent kitchen update, the coffee maker was broken, lights burned out and a spartan number of cooking utensils. Our WiFi was out for a day and a half in our room and random other locations on the property, but was rock solid on the beach thank goodness. We received a note that the outage was due to the power company doing work on the lines, but I scratched my head a little bit on that one since many other places on the grounds never had an issue. There were several other niggly things that you would wonder why they weren’t addressed. Hopefully the management will figure out that it needs to audit the units and address issues before guests have to point them out.

Construction ruins the sands
Huge construction site next to the sands. So you want to relax in paradise you can forget it staying at the Sands. We wake up at 7 am to construction next door they are building a huge hotel of 4 blocks and this going on for the next 3 years. So that also continues on the beach with a view of 2 cranes.Its not the sands fault but who wants to vacation next door to that.

Bait and switch - booking problems
Did not stay here, tried to but they got greedy. Booked a 3br condo, paid $4k+ deposit, they contacted us and informed us the booking was incorrect and the right amount of taxes and fees were not charged. Although the pricing on website said “includes taxes and fees” they would not honor the price and wanted to add an additional $2.7k onto the final price. Cancelled our booking and will be choosing a different island.
