The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I was blown away by the fantastic food at the Manta Ray Restaurant. The burgers, hot dogs, and pad Thai were incredibly delicious and fresh. They easily surpassed my expectations, making lunch a highlight of my days by the new waterpark.

Fantastic for Kids

The amenities for kids were just really good! My children adored the two waterslides and the lazy river. They never wanted to leave the pool area. Even better, the kids' club was great, keeping them entertained while I enjoyed some relaxation time by the adult pool.

Spacious and Comfortable Room

I stayed in a Junior seaside view suite that was absolutely spacious and perfectly equipped. The mini fridge and electric kettle were particularly convenient. Plus, the giant bathtub was a good surprise, providing the perfect place to unwind after a day in the sun.

We had a wonderful time at The Sands by Katathani, enjoying the spacious family room and pool access. The water park was a highlight for the kids, and we loved the beach area. However, the dining experiences left a lot to be desired with issues like cold meals and disappointing cocktails. Overall, it's a great place for families but has room for improvement in its dining options.

My stay was quite relaxing, with plenty of pools and well-kept grounds. The rooms were spacious and the staff made me feel welcome. However, I found the all-inclusive dining options to be rather disappointing and overpriced compared to nearby restaurants. Overall, I had a great experience but would suggest dining outside the resort for better value and variety.

Overall, the resort has a beautiful setting with great facilities for families, and the beach is lovely and clean. Our room was spacious, but the noise levels were a concern, especially with families around. While the dining options have potential, they could use more variety to cater to all tastes. The service was mixed, with some staff being helpful, but others lacking the warmth we expected. Pricing for certain items, particularly wine, was quite steep compared to local options.

I just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfect for families. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the pools are a lovely spot to relax. While the family-friendly atmosphere may not suit couples looking for a quieter experience during peak times, the overall vibe is welcoming and fun. The dining could use some variety, but the quality is decent. I particularly appreciated the cleanliness throughout the resort and the friendly service from most staff members.
