We really enjoyed our stay at The Sands. The staff at reception were friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious, clean,modern and comfortable. There are great resources to take advantage of including an indoor heated pool, well equipped gym, tennis courts, bar, bistro etc. The Sands is well located with a short walk to quieter beachs at Torquay, a super short drive to cafes, shops etc and a longer nice walk alongside the beach into town. We found The Sands great value for money, really enjoyed our stay and wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

We were unable to charge our Tesla!! Understaffed on the desk/ phone, yet at what was a very ordinary breakfast. A decent coffee wasn't included with breakfast also only instant or plunger coffee in the rooms. The Table Top at breakfast, wobbled like a ship in a storm! The Restaurant (food) not available on a Tuesday evening. Both receptionists on book in and check out were excellent with help and advice. Dont thonk that we would bother staying here again unless everything else in the area is booked out. Have given it 3 shots now. Its all too hard.

Beautifully designed accommodation, gorgeous rooms, clean, spacious. The staff went above and beyond. Special thanks to Tom at reception who wrote a personalised itinerary for us overnight and left it for us at the desk in the morning. Such wonderful, personalised friendly service.
