Fabulous staff, beautiful surrounds, and very generous, spacious rooms!
Pros:

The staff at the Sands were absolutely lovely! We were celebrating our daughter’s 9th birthday, and they made her feel so special! We also thoroughly enjoyed Sabbia restaurant, the food was delicious and the staff were also fabulous. We have not stayed in any other accommodation where every staff member we encountered were so nice, we have already recommended The Sands to our family/ friends.

Cons:

We loved everything

Great stay in Torquay
Pros:

Really nice hotel. Rooms are tastefully decorated, good size rooms with nice high ceilings, great addition of a balcony, an amazing shower and very comfortable bed. Bonus of having use of pool and gym facilities.

Cons:

Small thing but aircon unit on balcony was really dirty, and appreciate it’s hard with weather etc but balcony furniture needed a wipe.
