Traveller reviews

“Short but enjoyable stay”
16 Apr 2025
Lovely room with great views. Dinner excellent and staff very friendly. Were given wrong timings so missed breakfast. Only stayed 1 night en route further north so didn’t really get a full experience

“Fair”
14 Apr 2025
Stunning location. However, I requested a double bed which was catered for with joining of 2 single beds - standard practice. But no blanket of adequate sizing provided just a single blanket turned to its width length to cover bed with no top sheet against the duvet inner. Missing light bulb from lamp, air conditioning remote finally located under bed. Poor shower pressure, it got worse as you showered. 'Fair' stay, disappointing considering the hotel esthetic. Thank you too, Irene, who was on reception for a warm welcome and check out.

“Would love to stay longer and get to utilise all our had to offer.”
14 Apr 2025
Love the beach side location. They've put in the work to bring this place up to scratch recently. Was nice having the restaurant and bar close by. Great rooms and mostly clean (see below). Room had a large wardrobe, fridge, cups and glasses. The beds were super comfy. Had a great night's sleep!

“Everything we needed”
12 Apr 2025
The hotel is comfortable with beautiful views. Great pool.

“Will be a great place to stay once the upgrading is finished”

Staff accommodated - we arrived late and was able to order a late dinner from the restaurant. Service was great....

“Beautiful views (and comfy bed)”
07 Apr 2025
The room was very lovely and had a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. The bed was super soft and comfortable. It’s in a nice scenic area. Highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

“Beautiful location, generously sized villa but dated rooms and uncomfortable experience with staff.”
23 Mar 2025
Generously sized rooms but quite dated. Fridge would not remain closed.

“Enjoyable amazing view from our room”
18 Mar 2025
Didn't have breakfast. Felt the restaurant could have had more choice.

“The highlight of our Northland trip. Wish we had allocated longer to this location”

The Sands Hotel and restaurant were situated in the most idyllic location. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms and sparkling clean
