Sands Beach Resort

I have had family trips and held training camps at Sands Beach. I'm delighted that the hotel is finally getting the refurbishment it has needed for a few years. The staff have always been great at Sands Beach and really helpful. I'm hopeful the team there will have a hotel to match their level of service. Special thanks to Ryan Jenkins who has helped me organise a number of large group bookings over the years and is awesome at his job. I look forward to seeing the improvements in the weeks and months ahead.

I had a wonderful stay at Sands Beach Resort! The view was absolutely stunning, and the pools were gorgeous. The private beach was amazing and so well maintained. I found the food very reasonably priced, and it was definitely worth getting the full board. Breakfast, lunch, and especially dinner were all delicious – every meal was a delight! The staff were incredibly polite and helpful. I hurt my foot during my stay, and a lifeguard kindly assisted me. The lady at the reception was also very courteous, and honestly, everyone I met was extremely friendly. The resort has a supermarket inside, which is super convenient. Everything about the place is very comfortable and beautiful. The reception area is gorgeous, and the apartment was stunning, very clean, and extremely comfortable. Fresh towels were always provided, making the stay even more relaxing. I took beautiful photos, captured wonderful memories, and overall it was a truly delightful experience. I can’t recommend Sands Beach Resort enough!

This whole complex is in dire need of a refurbishment. Firstly, the reception area was old and had clearly seen better days. Although there was a gym and an indoor sports area, the equipment was either non-existent or in a poor state. The rubber mats in the sports area were old and dirty and had obviously not been cleaned recently. Initially, we were allocated a 'beach front' apartment which actually looked out on to a low wall. To their credit, the staff at reception were very helpful and gave us an alternative apartment with a better outlook. However, both apartments were in need of a makeover; and speaking to other guests and reading reviews, this appears to be a common theme. There were cracked floor tiles on the pathway leading up to the apartment, and the front door lock did not work properly. Once inside, the curtains were old and shabby, with missing curtain rings. The sofa was frayed around the bottom edge, its seats were saggy and it smelt dusty. Some of the dining room chairs had been poorly repaired, with pieces still missing, and one chair in particular was wobbly to sit on. In the bedroom, inside the roller blind, there were dead insects and spots of mould. The bed frame squeaked every time we moved, which was irritating to say the least. Over the course of the holiday, perhaps due to some wet weather, the bedroom and bathroom smelt increasingly damp. Worst of all, one of the plug sockets in the living area was cracked and hanging off the wall, with bare wires visible. On the final morning, my wife was drying her hair with a hairdryer that was fixed to the wall, when it started to make a loud whining noise, followed by a pop and then a smell of burning. On inspection, the nozzle had melted in the process. On a positive note, the staff were polite and friendly. In particular, the cleaners were always helpful and we were pleasantly surprised that they visited just about every day. Whilst we did not expect 5 star luxury, we would certainly not return, and the whole apartment complex and the apartment itself are in dire need of an overhaul.

My stay at Sands Beach Resort was absolutely fantastic and incredibly relaxing. The resort is beautifully designed, with whitewashed architecture, peaceful lagoons, and a wonderful beachfront setting that captures the unique charm of Lanzarote. The atmosphere is calm, comfortable, and perfect for a restful vacation. The apartments were spacious, clean, and very well equipped, making the stay feel convenient and enjoyable. Waking up to the ocean breeze and walking along the beach was a memorable experience. The pools, restaurants, and overall facilities were excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the stay. Overall, a wonderful resort experience relaxing, well located, and ideal for enjoying the natural beauty of Lanzarote.

Sands Beach Resort — A Casual Beachfront Gem ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're looking for a relaxed beachfront escape without pretension, Sands Beach Resort delivers exactly that. We stayed in apartment 72, a three-bedroom, four-bathroom beachfront unit, and the layout was genuinely impressive — spacious, well-thought-out and perfect for a group. Waking up to direct Atlantic views from your own terrace is something you simply don't forget. Don't come expecting luxury finishes or modern interiors; the resort is somewhat dated and won't impress those prioritising style over substance. But if you can look past that, the charm is undeniable. The food covers all bases — breakfast and dinner are solid and varied, nothing fancy but consistently good. The real standout is lunch at the Lido Terrace, where you eat overlooking the Atlantic in a setting that's hard to beat. The staff deserve a special mention — genuinely helpful, warm and attentive throughout our stay. The location is also excellent, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away. For a casual, laid-back holiday with direct beach access, a fantastic apartment layout and a great atmosphere, this place ticks all the boxes. We will absolutely return on our next visit to Lanzarote.
