We really enjoyed our stay at The Sands. The staff at reception were friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious, clean,modern and comfortable. There are great resources to take advantage of including an indoor heated pool, well equipped gym, tennis courts, bar, bistro etc. The Sands is well located with a short walk to quieter beachs at Torquay, a super short drive to cafes, shops etc and a longer nice walk alongside the beach into town. We found The Sands great value for money, really enjoyed our stay and wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

Comfortable but a little tight
Comfortable stay. Breakfast closes at 10.30 and there is no flexibility on this if you show up on the last minute.
