Beautiful boutique hotel in a great location. We unfortunately were only able to spend 1 night here. Not the ideal location for anyone with mobility issues, but extreemly comfortable. The staff went out of their way to provide us with an early breakfast, as we had an early start. Food was well served and delicious. I just wish we could have spent longer there.

We stayed at the Sands Beach House for just one night on our way to the Kariega Game reserve. If we had known what awaited us prior to booking we would have stayed at least another night! What an absolute gem, beautiful rooms with unbelievable ocean views and service which is second to none. As for dinner, WOW what an experience! The food was to die for. I had the belly pork, which is by far the best I have ever tasted. My in laws had the rack of lamb, which they loved and my wife had the risotto which again was lovely. Thank you Chef!

Fantastisch klein charmehotel (5 kamers) met maritiem thema en alles tot in de puntjes afgewerkt: een handgeschreven welkomstbriefje, naast het bad een kaarsje met aansteker, tegen de avond is je bed klaargemaakt met kamerjas, slippers en nougat… Bij vertrek krijgt elke kamer 2 koekjes met een kaartje “safe trip”. Kamers zeer proper en worden tweemaal per dag opgefrist (handdoeken, opmaak bed), kwalitatieve doucheproducten, zeer degelijke koffiezet van Lavazza. Ontbijt uitgebreid, verschillende warme gerechten te bestellen (omelet, eggs benedict,2 soorten porridge…),goeie koffie. Bieden ook diner aan (keuzemenu). Helaas zeer slechte wifi, valt voortdurend weg anders had ik met veel plezier 5* gegeven ☺️

Our stay here was absolutely amazing and has set the bar quite high for the rest of our trip. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming.

If you love thatch and the feel of 'old worldy' furnishing, then you'll love it! The staff were exceptional, as were the special little touches.

Everything was top class and the service was above reproach. The views and amenities were excellent and we enjoyed every moment of our stay.

This is my second review following a second stay. As before I have to compliment the Sands for getting it all just right: the reception, the atmosphere, food, facilities trumped only by the fantastic view. The white towels were soft and thick, the linen immaculate. The welcoming canapés and bubbly just the right thing with the view. Well done and thank you, again.

We loved our stay! The room, the service, everything. The Romance package is worth every cent. Highly recommend The Sands and we will be back

I came to celebrate my birthday with friends but I’m definitely coming back with my husband.. We enjoyed everything about The Sands. The sound of the ocean while you still asleep is the top tier.
