The hype
Guests love the 'fresh' and 'spotless' new look and the pool area, but many are surprised by the lack of daily cleaning.

Reserva esto si You want the freedom of a self-catering apartment with the perks of a cool hotel (pool, gym, bar) and don't mind a lot of kids around.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Miami-inspired art deco interiors that feel fresh and fun
- Large Studios with separate bunk rooms are a total game-changer for families
- The 5-court Padel tennis club is a major draw for active travelers
Resumen rápido: A stylish reinvention of the old Sands Resort that nails the 'cool family hotel' vibe, but be prepared for an early 10am checkout and extra costs for breakfast.
Reseñado por @georgiaandtheglobe: I’m obsessed with the retro coastal vibes here. Waking up to that ocean view from my studio was unforgettable, and the indoor pool is perfect for rainy days. It feels like a cool, design-led apartment but with hotel perks. Highly recommend for a chill couple's getaway.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'aparthotel' concept confuses some—you have to cook your own breakfast or pay café prices, and don't expect fresh towels every day.
- You have young kids but still want good coffee and a stylish bar
- You want to play Padel tennis (5 courts on-site)
- You prefer a kitchen to cook simple meals instead of eating out every night
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
9.2
- Housekeeping: No daily service (aparthotel model), but arrival cleanliness is rated 'spotless' by almost everyone.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Brand new grout and fixtures (opened late 2024). One report of poor ventilation/dampness.
- Maintenance: Brand new renovation. Everything is fresh, though some 'teething issues' with new tech/access have been noted.
- Linens & towels: Fresh, high-quality white linens. Pool towels provided.
- Odors & scents: Smells like 'fresh paint' and sea air. No musty hotel carpet smells here.

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'Large Studio' is basically a one-bedroom apartment in disguise (the bunk room has a door).
💡There is no daily housekeeping—your bed won't be made unless you pay extra.
💡The walk back from Porth Beach is steep—save some energy for the climb.
💡You can hire surfboards and wetsuits directly from the hotel's 'beach store'.
💡The acoustic insulation is decent, but you will hear doors slamming in the corridors during school holidays.
