It was the best decision we made staying at Sultan Sands resort. The service was great. Facilities were clean, the food was spot on they had variety for everyone. The Manager Das, was very attentive to us and kind to reserve our table every night.

Super hôtel, on est chouchouté, on attend jamais. Le personnel arrive même à anticiper nos demandes. Tout le monde est agréable, serviable. La nourriture est très bonne avec des spécialités locales. Des jolies soirées. L'hôtel ressemble à un joli village de cases très confortables, propres. Bref je conseille fortement

Long Review Ahead: I had an absolute amazing stay as a solo traveller at Sultan Sands. What stood out to me most, was the incredible staff at Sultan Sands. They were friendly and went out of their way to ensure my stay as a solo traveller was nothing short of spectacular. I celebrated my birthday during my stay at the resort and they were attentive during our casual chats and made me a special dinner and a birthday cake. Despite being alone on my birthday in a country, the staff at the resort made me feel special and made it a memorable enjoyable evening. Now let’s get down to the details: I stayed at the Bihari room which was perfect, few steps away from the white sandy beach, the room is simple yet beautiful and is equipped with everything you need. The small hairdryer in the bathroom is one of the most powerful hairdryers I’ve used whilst on travel…. For the ladies with long hair who wants to swim daily like I did, this is absolute dream!!! Toiletries are replenished daily, I forgot my body lotion and the mini lotions which they provide daily came in very handy. The staff comes every evening to turn down your room, meaning set your bed for the night and spray the room so you are not eaten alive by the mosquitoes. I had no issues of mosquitoes in the room. You are also provided with 1.5L of bottled water daily which is an additional bonus. Every evening there is live entertainment and activities also planned for the day. I enjoy a few rounds of beach volleyball with other guests and staff at Sultan Sands which is done daily at 5pm. Overall I thoroughly enjoy my solo vacation and huge shout out to the fantastic team at Sultan Sands, from the reception, the chefs, the waiters, the management staff, the sports coach. Mike, Kambi, Hussuen, Shaiki, Gertrude, Mahi, Sophia, Joyce, Mohammed, Hidaya these are only some of the names I could remember and I apologise for not remembering everyone name. Thank you for an incredible Holiday

Nice place, good staff. Clean rooms and good food. Although rainseason it doesn't matter. Hotel area is green and mixture of African and Arabic style. The beach is ideal for long walks and swimming. Restaurant and bar's are good and clean. Enjoy!

I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. The staff were all, without exception, absolutely amazing. The food was delicious for every meal and the rooms fabulous. If you want. 25 star hotel experience I strongly suggest you visit Sultan Sands.

The Resort is very very beautiful and we head great stay. In the Rooms everything was perfect. My wife and me really really loved the buffet and the staff. They were so friendly and helpfull and always had a smile in their face. Especially Rose and Sophia will always stay in our mind because of their kindness and profesionality. The Breakdance show in the evening was my personal highlight.

Wir haben uns permanent Unwohl gefühlt! Das männliche Hotelpersonal ist entweder aufdringlich oder wird beleidigend und man merkt dauerhaft wie hinter dem Rücken über einen geredet wird. Ständig Stromausfälle nachts. Spätestens nach dem dritten Tag hat man das Essen satt da es keine Abwechslung bietet. Der Pool wird kaum gereinigt man sieht morgens schon den Ölfilm auf der Wasseroberfläche. Die Bugalows sind alt und abgeranzt. Teilweise klettern die Handwerker etc. auf der Terasse rum ohne vorher kurz Bescheid zu geben. Housekeeping macht wirklich nur das nötigste. An den Strand kann man nicht weil man sofort von Verkäufern belagert wird. Es tut mir wirklich leid ich würde gerne etwas positives schreiben aber wir beide haben uns wirklich gewünscht dieses Hotel nie gebucht zu haben. So viel Geld für null Leistung.

Die Hotelanlage liegt an einem Hang und ist richtig schön gebaut. Zwei Zimmer teilen sich ein Bungalow. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, nur an Schränke hat anscheinend niemand gross gedacht. Lediglich 3 Tablare sind vorhand, wovon eines vom Tresor in Beschlag genommen wird. Der Balkon ist nicht gross, aber ausreichend. Ein Moskitonetz ist vorhanden und jeden Abend wird das Zimmer durch das Houskeeping durchgesprayt. Leider weisen Fenster und Türen Spalten auf, so dass Moskitos durchschlüpfen können. Die Klimaanlage ist angenehm leise. Das Houskeeping ist mangelhaft. Die Duschtücher wurden abgeräumt, obwohl sie sauber über der Stange hingen. Oft dauerte es bis zum Nachtessen, bis neue Tücher geliefert oder abgezogenen Kopfkissten neu bezogen wurden. Wenn sich zwei Personen nach dem Duschen ein kleines Handtuch teilen müssen, ist das nicht so toll. Irgendetwas fehlte immer. Die Reinigung war nicht gut, aber soweit okay. Die Speisen im Restaurant (Buffet) sind sosolala. Meistens findet man etwas. Morgens ist die Auswahl schon sehr bescheiden. Die Bedienung ist (mit ganz wenigen Ausnahmen) absolut langsam und mit ihrem ewigen "akuna matata" unendlich nervig. Wenn man am Morgen über 10 Minuten auf den Kaffee warten muss, obwohl keine 20 Leute im Restaurant sitzen, nervt das sehr. Nur die beiden jüngeren Servierdamen waren fix, freundlich und immer gut draur. Am Strand sind die besten Liegen am Morgen früh schon reserviert. Um neun Uhr ist kein Schattenplatz mehr zu haben. Das kümmert das Personal nicht, auch wenn die Liegen-Reservierer erst zur Mittagszeit auftauchen. Sonnenschirme und Schatten ist Mangelware. Zum Glück darf man als Gast de Sultan Sands das Schwesterhotel gleich daneben benutzen, also den Strand und die Liegen, so dass wir doch noch einen Schattenplatz finden konnten. Konsumieren darf man aber nur im Sultan Sands, sofern man nicht jeden Tag daraufzahlen will. Also muss man stets hin- und herlaufen, wenn man Getränke möchte. Wasserflaschen sind schon früh an der Bar erhältlich. Alles andere (Cola, etc.) erst am 11.00 Uhr. Für all-inclusiv eine sehr schwache Leistung. Der Strand ist recht schön, aber es hat viel angespültes Seegras etc. Die Gezeiten sind sehr ausgeprägt, so dass teilweise kein Meer vorhanden ist, bzw. man weit gehen muss, bis man bis zu den Knien im Wasser steht. Achtung, je weiter man hineingehen muss, umso grösser die Gefahr, auf Seeigel zu treten. Aktuell sind geschätzt 80-90% polinische Gäste im Hotel. Ein paar Bulgaren, Tschechen und vereinzelte Deutsche, Italiener und Franzosen (oder aus einen anderem französich sprechenden Land). Der Lärmpegel ist teilweise sehr hoch, wenn die Leute sich über mehrere Liegen hinweg lautstark unterhalten. Animation war zum Glück bis auf den letzten Abend nicht vorhanden, abgesehen von etwas Wassergymnastik, da aufgrund eines Todesfalls Staatstrauer verordnet war. Die Akrobatikshow am letzten Abend war nicht schlecht. Leider hört man die anschliessende Disco (oder was auch immer) bis w
