Excellent… we will come here again

At check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to have been given an upgrade to a King-bed room with blockout shutters. The room was excellent, clean, spacious and had everything we could need. The bed was very comfortable and, with the benefit of the blockout shutters, the room had very little light overnight, ensuring we enjoyed an undisturbed good night’s sleep.

Really dated, outdone areas untidy but the big problem was that there the smoke alarm in our room had been disarmed and would not have worked if needed, I attempted to speak to staff prior to leaving but rhe office was unattended.

Your description of the property states that is adjoining the Southern Cross Resort with dining and bar facilities. This was the main reason for choosing Desert Sand. The Southern Cross Resort has been closed for some years. Very disappointed
