Good hotel for families with kids.
We stayed in this hotel for four days. Overall it was very good. I recommend this hotel especially to families with children. The is playroom for kids and other mini water park facilities that kids enjoy to be at. Drinks for some reason are significantly overpriced at this hotel, almost twice as expensive as other hotels/places.

Vera nice family Resort!
We are a family of 4 (children aged 6 and 9) who have spent four nights at the sands. We were extremely satisfied with the cleaning, activities for the children and easy access to the local town. The pool area was really nice for mixed age groups. The beach was child-friendly and clean. It was easy to get sunbeds (4 pieces) even though we arrived at 10.30 am to the children's pool. The breakfast buffet was nice and the service was also satisfactory.

Great kid friendly option in Khao Lak
If you have kids this is a great option! The mini waterpark was great fun. The beach front is also nice and there are loads of sunbeds as well as three pools. Super kid friendly and our teen two-bedroom suite with bunk beds for the kids was perfect.

Great hotel for Children and Adults.
Lovely resort well thought out for children and adults. Separate pool for adults and breakfast also separate for the adults. Lots of very friendly staff. Lifeguards at all the children's pools safety was paramount. Washing facilities available for clothes however one machine out of 3 was out of order so often a queue to get washing done.
Food very good although same offering every day. Buffet breakfast excellent.

If you have a family and want a hotel that suits everyone a stay at The Sands is a must! Our kids, 10 and 13yrs had an absolute ball. The hotel food options were great, even catered for gluten free and if we wanted something local we were close to so many restaurants. We are definitely coming back next year. Love the place.
