The Sands by Katathani

Our fourth stay here and it was great to be back. Staff as helpful and welcoming as always and our swim up room was lovely. No problem with getting sun loungers down by the beach all day. Kids loved choosing activities and going to kids club. Cocktails at Mango bar were the best on site. We will be back.

We had the best stay! The resort was even better in person than the photos. It was such a welcoming and relaxed vibe but also lots to do for kids and us parents. Food at the buffet was exceptional with a very high standard. Family room was super spacious. Kids club and kids pools were perfect and entertained the kids all day. We didn’t need to leave the resort!

We had such a great time in Sands with our kids and friends. The room was great for us, the food at breakfast was very tasty and great choice. The staff was very polite. Very close to main road with a lot of restaurants and shops. The beach isn't the best in Thailand, but we spent a lot of time in kids pool area. The best was the room with direct pool access, which we loved. Grounds are huge and well kept.We love this hotel.

Booked with a package that included all meals. Travelled with 2 kids - ages 7 and 9. Had a fantastic time. Children loved the beach and Aqua Zone. Food was fantastic - excellent buffet breakfasts and dinners and the A le Carte options were excellent. Rooms were clean and always cool. Beds were comfortable. Loved the app to order extra towels. Would definitely recommend to a family with kids.

The hotel offers a wide range of facilities and is very family-friendly. However, the room was outdated and not clean enough. The floors and wardrobe showed significant wear and tear. While I expected the room to be basic based on the photos on the website, the outdated condition of the facilities wasn’t apparent. Had I known this in advance, I wouldn’t have chosen this hotel for the price I paid. The cleanliness was disappointing. The floor hadn’t been properly mopped, and walking barefoot didn’t feel clean. There was a stain on the toilet floor throughout our stay. I expected it to be cleaned by housekeeping the next day, but it wasn’t until I requested a full bathroom cleaning. I mainly booked the hotel for the children’s play area for my son, but I regretted it after arriving. The water play facilities were old, and the swimming pool water wasn’t clean. I would have preferred a different five-star hotel with fewer water play features but a better overall environment. In summary, while the service was decent and the hotel has plenty of amenities, the room condition and cleanliness fell far below five-star standards. If quality accommodation is your priority, it’s worth considering other hotels.
