For us, the Sands resort met all our needs. It was close enough to get to Macrossman street/marina/shops etc (short car drive) but far enough away to enjoy some quiet time. Its a bit far to walk to centre of town but possible if you are young and fit enough. However, you can walk to the beach via a designated path through the gardens of the Sheraton Mirage resort - takes aprox 10mins. The pool at the "Sands" was beautiful and kept very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment on 2nd floor overlooking the pool which we really appreciated. The resort is quite close to the main PD road but we didn't find it too noisy and the traffic did not disturb our sleep. All in all it was lovely memorable stay with not complaints.

This would probably be considered a "family" resort, but that didn't stop us (a couple) enjoying our stay. The resort is a "village" of villas so it was all spread out. Our villa had 2 upstairs bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and air conditioning throughout. Disappointingly the TV reception was very poor and the lounge uncomfortable. The gorgeous lagoon pool area was a wonderful place for parents to relax and children to play. My only thought would be that a child free pool would have been a bonus for us. There is a large lap pool - but it was the scene of children's group swim lessons and adult scuba lessons. We didn't get to try the restaurant but it was doing great business.

Great resort, clean and comfortable rooms. Had a ground floor room with gate outside balcony to access pool area with ease! Very close to marcossan st And marina, shuttle into town leaves right outside the Port Sea which was hady when we didn't want to drive in! Secure underground parking was also a bonus. Only issue was servicing rooms was not included in our stay, getting clean towels was fine however bins could have been emptied. Other than that a great place for a relaxing Holliday!!
