Family holiday at The Sands

We chose the ground floor rooms with swimming pool access. This was the best choice for us and the kids. The facilities were great, the food was amazing at the hotel and at the restaurants in Khao Lak.
Great to have choice of family pool, beach area pool and the pool accessed from the room.
Easy access to the main street shops, markets and restaurants with 100 THB cost for a Tuk Tuk from hotel reception to the main street. The kids loved riding around Khao Lak in a Tuk Tuk especially the pimped up ones with lights and music. Our favourite restaurant was Khao Lak Country and the Water Market Dinner Buffet at The Sands was excellent.
The spa was fantastic and reasonably priced, spas on the street were much cheaper but the hotel spa was more comfortable and service & facilities provided a lush experience.
The hotel staff were so accommodating and nothing was any trouble.
The grounds were landscaped with walking paths and lush grass areas and beach access. Lounge chairs lined up along the grassed area facing the ocean providing a wonderful view and a relaxing place to read or just soak up the sun under a palm tree.
The Hotel APP made it easy to order room service, special requests from housekeeping or just to find out what's happening at the resort.
We did the beginners Thai cooking class and that was a great experience with Loh. Learned how to make the vegetable fried rice and a coconut milk soup that was very tasty.
We visited the Elephant Sanctuary at Khao Lak which was only 20 minutes drive from the hotel. It was a lovely experience to interact with the elephants, feed and pat them. We didn't bath the elephants as we heard that most people became sick from the dirty water. Just get a Tuk Tuk there and pay for food by the bucket at 100BHT per bucket of food. Don't waste money on a tour.
We also spent a day at Andamanda Water Park. It's 90 min drive from the hotel and a great day out. Hire a driver and they will drop you off and pick you up and take you back to the hotel for an agreed price.
The only issue I had was that the TV in my room didn't have reception for a few days and the hotel was very slow to fix the problem. Mostly a problem for me as I struggle to sleep without a TV.
Khao Lak is 90 min drive from Phuket airport but a lovely quiet area that's great for a relaxing Thai holiday for everyone. There are bars and nightspots if that's your thing too.
A wonderful 10 day stay at The Sands and would love to return next year!
