The Sands Hotel

The Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely staff, very friendly in all departments. Beautiful dinner and lovely buffet breakfast. This property is recently undergoing some renovations and even though we loved it as it is it’s going to be very special when finished. Right on the beach, spectacular sunsets."
