When we arrived the lady at the reception told us that we would have got an upgrade. First we were happy about that. But when we came into the room we asked ourselves how a room without an upgrade would have been. The room was so dirty - everywhere spider webs, spiders and mosquitoes. In the bathroom the plaster has flaked off the ceiling. In the room there was only one chair. The room was dark because there was a big plant in front of the window. For the breakfast either we had to pay 36 dollars per person, what we didn't do. To have breakfast in the room was nearly impossible, because there was no cutlery and plates at all. The balcony was so small that there only fits one small table and two chairs. And around us was everything under construction. We were looking forward to a comfortable nice place but what we found was a place where we were happy, when we could leave. Regarding the price for it it was absolutely not appropriate. The only good things were the beds - they were comfortable and the dinner in the restaurant with a nice meal an a beautiful view.

Lovely staff, very friendly in all departments. Beautiful dinner and lovely buffet breakfast. This property is recently undergoing some renovations and even though we loved it as it is it’s going to be very special when finished. Right on the beach, spectacular sunsets.

We enjoyed our stay and the location is superb - we had a lovely outlook to the sea. However, I was cold when I went to bed even with the heat pump on, and there was no spare blanket to add to the bedding. Reception was closed so I had to layer up with day clothes over PJ's.

Top choice for Omapere/Opononi stay. Large establishment with beachfront and courtyard units. We appreciated being upgraded to the Beachfront. Idyllic sitting in our patio area enjoying the seaview. Nice Bar and Restaurant with a deck to enjoy the good weather and sunsets. Plenty of free parking. Helpful staff

What a view! we had stayed here a few years back on a bike trip so really wanted to stay again and relax. Great food, the property is getting a bit of a face life and you can see the effort going in to get it back to a very high level

We were upgraded to a Villa which was spacious and clean. Comfortable bed. Plenty of towels and lovely shower/bath/handwash products in the bathroom. The restaurant dinner meal was delicious and generous. Continental breakfast was good, but I would have liked to have seen a better selection of fresh fruit on offer, rather than the canned fruit salad. All up it was a great stay at The Sands.

Amazing location Really disappointed the cooking facilities have been removed and no b-b-que available

8.0 / 10.0

Stunning location & beautiful facilities although some area's of the facilities are old, you can see they are making improvements. Our room had stunning beach front views but we had a beautiful Pohutukawa tree blocking some of that, so next time I'll ask for a room on bottom floor. Our superior room with verandah had plenty of space, comfortable king bed and all the basics we needed, only complaint is we couldn't lock the door from the inside.

It is a little isolated but the place has everything and it's by the beach

6.0 / 10.0

I changed our whole holiday plans around to stay here as it looked so beautiful, and I guess that's why we were so very dissapointed. From the moment we walked up the filthy stairs things just didn't get better. Inside the room was a horrible smell like cheap room spray or disinfectant. The ocean view room was looking into a massive tree. I have nothing against the tree but maybe lower people's expectations and therefore they won't be so dissapointed. The Restaurant staff were lovely just such a pity the food let our experience down. The snapper was inedible with its gluggy batter and just added to our overall worst experience in our 3 weeks of travelling from the South Island to the top of the North Island. I really hope something is done to clean up the whole place
