While the hotel is dated and small, it is a quiet, little place. I would score it higher, but the lighting in the bathroom was pretty poor for putting on makeup and such. The mattress definitely showed major wear making it difficult to sleep without being pulled the middle of the bed by both sides. Other than this, I would recommend this hotel. There are less than fifty rooms, all of which circle the pool which looked very nice and inviting-quiet and tranquil. The staff were super nice and accommodating. There is a restaurant onsite and seemed to be quite popular without being a “party scene”.

Great check in, beautiful area, staff was polite and personalble. Would stay again!!
Such a darling hotel! Loved the decor and ambiance! Definitely going back !
Awesome place for a girls trip too!
Very kind staff! Need to try the spa with my next stay! Who needs to go to Morocco when it’s right there at the Sands Hotel ? Lol
We enjoyed a cosy, intimate ambiance with superb service at Sands. The on site Pink Cabana Restaurant offered a selective menu of thoughtful and delicious dining with skilled wait staff. We would be happy to return.
Location and ambience are great. The overall vibe is nice. The king room assigned to us was compact though and the for sale goodies occupied the entire table top. Also the mattress wasn’t very comfortable. Overall the room was clean but patio was not. The hot tub wasn’t clean either which was shocking.
Staff is very polite and welcoming!
Wonderful property, rooms are fantastic. Comfortable beds, inspiring design. The pool and landscape are well thought out. The staff is amazing also, Ashley, Summer, Liz, Danny thank you for many enjoyable stays.
