Muito bom.

Liked:Nossa estadia no The Sands foi maravilhosa. Se você precisa de um local pra relaxar, sem barulho na área da piscina e no resort como um todo é o local ideal. Nota-se que o resort é de uma construção antiga, porém tudo muito limpo e bem cuidado. O carinho e cuidado de todos os funcionários é uma característica muito positiva. O café da manhã não é o forte do resort, oferece o básico. Tem dias que é buffet e outros a la carte, sem aviso prévio de qual será em cada dia. O jantares são muito bem preparados e saborosos. Em relação à praia do resort, é linda para apreciar, mas se você é o tipo de pessoa que gosta de tomar banho de mar não é a praia ideal, pois tem muitos corais e mesmo com a maré alta é uma praia muito rasa, e quando a maré fica baixa ela recua tanto que parece que nem tem mar na frente do resort. Mas, no geral, recomendamos o resort. Vale o custo-benefício.

Options to explore are available. The pool is large and clean. The rooms get serviced twice a day. The bar was definitely my favorite spot!
