Busy and a bit worn but family friendly hotel in a great location

31 Aug 2025
Honestly after reading all the hype about The Sands I was a bit disappointed when we arrived. Check-in was disorganised/slow, and the room was small and worn. They provided a cot for our 3 year old and it looked about 100 years old (we asked them to remove it and she slept in our bed for the week). Mattresses all very firm - they did add toppers at our request which helped. The standard of housekeeping was not great, you couldn't really tell if the room had been cleaned each day. Used cups etc not removed. The app was useful for ordering extra pillows/hangars/water/loo rolls etc. I was also underwhelmed by the water park pool - only really 2 slides and a lazy river for bigger children, and just so busy, impossible to get sunbeds unless you reserved them early. The other pool was much quieter and by the beach so we spent most of our pool time there. Kids club busy and chaotic, I wouldn't have left kids unsupervised there. Breakfast again, just incredibly busy unless you got there around 7am. Hotel highlights for us were seeing the monitor lizards in the big pond and the location next to the beach but also walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. The grounds were beautiful at night and overall our impression of the hotel was better once we'd settled in. We didn't eat dinner at The Sands - each night we walked or took a tuk tuk to a different restaurant, there was a huge amount of choice in the surrounding area.

Great for families

31 Oct 2024
The hotel is lovely and clean and the staff are great. We were b&b and the breakfast was great with a good choice for children. The pool and slides were great for the children and the kids club had some nice activities for us to go and do with our children (bracelet making etc.) I would recommend to those with young families.

Good family resort

31 Aug 2025
Booked with confidence based on good reviews, and overall, I enjoyed my stay with my family. But something missing in the good reviews is worth mentioning. First, multiple smoking areas around the resort are very close to the corridor and the room, and you can easily smell it when you open the front door or balcony sliding door, which is really not ideal for family with little kids or kids allergy to smoking smells. Secondly, before my stay, I already read reviews mentioned that this resort could be full of kids during breakfast time and in also the main pool. But it is way too OVERCROWDED in the breakfast that makes you not feel any Thai-style vacation relaxing mood, and feel very stressful instead. But it is worth mentioning that the service is superb, very efficient and professional, and staff are well trained and super friendly.

Tripadvisor Overview

The Sands Khao Lak by Katathani is a resort for everyone from individuals to couples to families. We have designed the resort in different wings-- Lagoon Wing, Seaside Wing and Aqua Wing-- to serve different needs and diverse lifestyles. The resort provides spaces for bringing people together and for offering the peace and solitude others desire. Whatever you seek, The Sands offers an enchanting experience for all. (The Sands’ mini water park is open for outside guests at cost; a ticket can be purchased at the front desk. For the privacy of our guests, other resort facilities and restaurants are reserved for The Sands’ guests only.)
