Amazing resort could not fault it at all. The resort was spotless. Always neat and tidy a the pools were always clean.The food was fantastic at all three restaurants. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. would defiantly recommend this for a couple or a family get away. once thing was that for a couple the kids area was far away from the adults pools so it was very quiet. also fantastic laundry machines on site, a shop and a bank machine. don't even need to leave the resort.

As returning guests we completely enjoyed our stay as expected. Fantastic swimming pools with swim up bars plus a beautiful beach with great water quality and temperature. The ocean was safe for swimming while we were there but it is dependant on the season. We travelled as a couple but there were loads of families and young children. There is a fabulous water park for the kids which is well away from the adult areas so all ages groups can enjoy themselves. Obviously the rooms, breakfast etc are all 5 star and the staff are friendly and attentive. We will be back again

Day 7 of 10 from our Bed and Breakfast stay here for my Partners 30th birthday with our boys age 9 year old and 18 month and it is honestly incredible. Enough so I wanted to write a review while it’s all fresh still in my mind After a long journey travelling with 2 young children ( and myself who gets stressed at the very idea of airports, Planes, transfers connecting flights and all the rest) we arrived around 9:30pm to an extremely tranquil setting with honey tea drinks offered on check in with smiling welcoming staff behind the counter who had us readily informed with everything you could ask for very fast and before we knew it we had been whisked off on a luggage Van right to our room by 2 attendants who directed us first then swiftly brought our luggage and pram. These small little touches started our experience here of perfectly. Now some highlights :D An amazing pool and splash park for families to enjoy and lounge around with an extra 2 taller water slides for kids and adults as well as a nicely designed lazy river open at points of the day. The pool is large enough to enjoy with kids, has a cool swim up bar with seats, a seated jet stream area to relax and a individual small pool which is great for my toddler learning to swim or try water for the first time as he can stand and walk. And there’s a adult only and quieter family pool if you want some Quieter time . The whole pool area is kept very well and staff are super helpful and friendly ( my partner lost her glasses her first go on the lazy river and the worker was cool as a cucumber and pulled them from the water 5 seconds later with a smile) there is a kids club right next to the area which again is great for kids who enjoy role playing, block building, crafts and has a small soft play area with ball pit and slides for the youngest and PS5s, a cinema room and actives like Thai boxing with the friendliest most patient team of people watching over. The breakfast is a good as any buffet style breakfast and is well topped up, varied slightly each day and has something for everyone with fresh fruit and pastries, cereal and pancakes stations and even hot main food like rice and chicken and your usually holiday bacon and sausages and good eggs choices. The drinks are varied each day with 1 or 2 changing and the usual orange juice, infused water and tea and coffee always available. It’s a good size restaurant with a lot of character from small groups of tiny bids flying near by or the Heron type bird looking for breakfast to jump out the beautiful lagoon right across from the restaurant. Plenty of tables and high chairs with good ramp access for wheel and pushchairs. All facilities are close enough to not feel a long walk anywhere and has so much lush green lawns and trees and wildlife that you enjoy every stroll. We are in a family room in the Lagoon wing and can watch or listen to nightly entertainment from our balcony with fantastic views of the Thailand sky, The lagoon, and restaurant and bar area. The rooms are great and meet high standards every day with lovely housekeeping staff, we have great air con and amazingly big bath tub and shower area. Very comfortable bed and. Crib was brought and set up for our toddler within minutes. Large desk, Large bed, kids sofa bed with cool 2nd pull out bed, Television for kids who might use a firestick but also has scut on of channels with a couple English. It is stocked with daily coffee, tea sugar sachets and glass bottled water and there is a dry cleaning service available as aswell as room service until late. The hotel location for us has been exceptional. It has its own beach front entrance with breathtaking views and it’s not rocky so going in the sea is a lot safety for younger children and was very relaxing with a few small waves to keep my oldest occupied testing his strength fighting the waves. many loungers near by to enjoy while sun bathing with another restaurant right next to it that is adult only also for those who don’t want the joyful sound of Children laughing and having a good time with friends and families. The hotels is at the start of the main town strip and you can get you authentic Thai street food from the alice market 7 mins walk away for go try a fancier restaurant on the front. There is many taxi services and tour groups that offer all the experiences you came for and more with good deals with you haggle a little. lots of food stalls and gift shops, dive centres and smoking shops there is something for every type of person. The owner direction has the larger Bang Niang ( excuse the spelling) market which is crazy busy and fun with every meat and every fruit smoothie you could think of. Being Bed and Breakfast and not all inclusive is a new experience to Me and one that has helped us discover a lot more of the area and try things we wouldn’t normally do. From what I gather the all inclusive seems good value from a food and beverage stand point also for those who don’t like to venture out as often or just like the security of all inclusive but it is not necessary at all to get the most from this resort. The extra touches go a long way, the interactions with the house keeping in the mornings, seeing room service staff on bikes working at nights and always have time to stop smile and chat to us. On the day of my partner’s birthday the hotel waited until we was back in the room Mid day and roomer service brought a complimentary cake with plates and knives and forks and candles for my Mrs which was truly kind and unexpected of them. Their is still much more to be said and describe about the resorts and its facilities but I will let you find those out for yourself. This has been our #1 family holiday ever without compare and I could not recommend this resort more to people with families and couples who don’t mind seeing families around. Thank you very much The Sands, we are already at planning our next family trip here.

The Sands Khao Lakh is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, in Thailand. I travelled with my husband and two year old son. The hotel staff are always so friendly and polite and willing to do anything and everything to make your stay comfortable. They always greet you in the passageways. The food is good catering for all dietary requirements and a special thanks to ‘Mew’ a very kind gentleman and waiter always suggesting things to eat from the menu. The rooms are super clean and you get unlimited bottled water in your room even a pillow menu! All the housekeeping staff are polite and helpful can’t fault them at all. They even helped deliver our lost baggage from the airport to our room! Had a bit of a glitch at checkout where they had over charged me but the problem was sorted out effortlessly despite it using up my holiday relaxation time. This was the only disappointing thing Overall I will definitely come visit again! I love this hotel and it’s friendly staff.
