We enjoyed a great 5 days at The Sands. The accommodation was spacious enough for the three of us (2 adults and a toddler). The kitchen is well equipped for self catering but there are plenty of restaurants and takeaways within close proximity. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was spotless. It is a fantastic location, with the gorgeous beach just a few steps away. Despite staying in peak season, it was really quiet at night and the livelier South Bay can be reached by bus or foot (if you like a walk). There are lots of toddler friendly points of interest near by such as the North Bay Railway, Splash park and Sealife Centre.

Perfectly comfortable apartment which was well equipped. Nice welcome hamper but only 2 tea bags and coffee pods for a 2 night stay. Close to all Northside attractions and a short bus journey to the busier Southside. I would not be marketing this as a garden view apartment.. it looks onto the multi storey car park with trees beyond that
