Management of this hotel need to work on the following:
1. Customer service esp at the front desk and dining area. Cyrelene is the only hostess who does it well.
2. Security guard does not do anything - made a complaint about loud local kids who hit my beach chair and guests smoking near my beach chair.
3. Smoking is allowed everywhere and around kids but they have a designated area for smoking near the pool. You can be relaxing at the beach enjoying the fresh air and someone next to you is smoking.
4. Website mentioned 2 places to eat. The big dining area only serve BUFFET for BREAKFAST and the a la carte portion is small. The 2nd restaurant is a one time deal for every 7 days stay. Open Mon - Thur dinner only. We reserved Monday night and was not allowed to eat because we were wearing flip flops but we wear dress well.
5. My husband ordered fried eggs since he was vegetarian and was given an attitude by the cook but she apologized.
The following staff want to mention for their service:
Simona
Shamar
Destiny
Tamari
Amari
Sherika
Antonio
Cyrelene
Romario
Upon arrival at the hotel I said to my husband we will visit Barbados every year and will stay at this hotel. This is not case anymore.

Rooms were clean, food was average, bar was slow, didn’t like that mice were running around outside while trying to have dinner.

Blown away by the intimacy, privacy, friendliness, and cleanliness of the beach. We are well traveled in the Caribbean, and this was such a nice place to visit! We did an island tour and catamaran tour where we were able to see turtles, sting rays etc. only draw back was kids aren’t allowed in the “fine dining restaurant”, however meals were just fine! The coral reefs weren’t as impressive as some of the other Caribbean locations we’ve been, but that’s outta the resorts control. Would def recommend! Had zero beach peddling trying to sell us stuff, felt safe letting 2 kids (7/9) run wild on the beach! It felt like a private beach! The rooms were ice cold (which we love and is uncommon in these type of destinations) Put in on your list of places to visit and enjoy a piece of paradise!

Overall, it was a good experience. Nice place. Clean and well maintained.
I wish food choices were better.
My biggest disappointment was the coral riff around the hotel in dead so no marine life to observe around the hotel. However for $2 can take a small bus up north to find some fish around sunk ships and large boulders.

My friend and I went to The Sands Hotel for 5 full days. The service was really good, staff was attentive, the breakfast, lunch and dinner options were great! The drinks were good too, try their rum punch! I would recommend The Sands for a nice and relaxing stay. The beach in front was very beautiful! Very safe place.

Liked: Beautiful setting and grounds and beach within a few steps. Staff was friendly, positive, and accommodating. My family suite's balcony had a perfect view of the pool and beach in the distance.
Disliked: Living room area was not air conditioned (although this was made clear in description of the hotel). Air condition was only in the two bedrooms. My son was hot sleeping in the bed placed in the living room next to a floor fan. Family of 5.
