Banyan Tree in Takua Thung from NZ$210

"From we arrived you could the quality of The Sands, it's beautifully laid out with manicured lawns, water features and a large fish pond. We had a swim up room which was large, clean and very comfortable, the only downside of the room was that the terrace was in the shade for the majority of the day, if you want one of these rooms request one that has sun most of the day. The site is almost split in two with quieter side that had an adult only pool and family pool with bar, then the other side has a mini water park for the kids with a number slides, fun water play and a lazy river. At breakfast there's a great choice catering to all nationalities and tastes, we didn't eat at the hotel at night but speaking to people who had it sounded very good. The staff are fantastic, always polite and friendly, nothing is to much trouble. Whether you want a family holiday, with plenty to entertain the kids, or a restful time from work or touring Thailand then The Sands is a great choice "

"The room location and the two pools were great. We had a swim-up room. The rooms could definitely use some updating. The bed was very hard / firm. We requested extra pillows and the accommodated us. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property is located from one side of the island to the other side. I would definitely stay here again because of the pools and the location. The loud music at night from the other end of the beach was not bad at all. "

"It was my first time in Phuket and I was totally in love with this place! I loved the food, hospitality service, and the staffs! They provided several programs, which you can participate! (Muy Thai class was amazing!! ) Overall, I recommend this place! Will definitely visit again ! "

"Be careful entering pool, steps are slippery. Wife twisted leg. Great location."

"Hospitality was great. Staff were so kind and Helpful. Would definitely stay again."

"Hotel was ok. Expensive for what it is. You could stay somewhere much nicer and the same location for the same price "

"The airport shuttle and transport were very convenient and nearby! Great place to stay if you have a late or early morning arrival and are waiting to check in to another hotel. "

"For a nice hotel, they were pretty stingy with the water and other advertised features that were not quite as expected. Transportation to and from the airport for example was not included despite this having been one of the selling features during booking. Beautiful view, good activities at the resort, nice staff. Food options coild be improved. "

"Very clean great staff"
