Tribes review

The Sands Khao Lak is a strong family option thanks to its large water park, lazy river, kids' pools and active kids' club. Family pool-access rooms, multiple supervised pools and helpful staff (plus a hotel app for bookings and requests) keep children entertained and make logistics easy. However, families should expect very busy pools and chaotic breakfasts during peak times. Several reviewers also note signs of wear, inconsistent housekeeping and occasional cleanliness/pest issues, and limited beach sunbed availability.

Families love

  • Large, well-used water park with slides and a lazy river that kids love

  • Family pool-access rooms and multiple family-friendly pools plus a supervised kids' club

  • Helpful staff and a hotel app for bookings/requests; beachfront location near town amenities

Worth knowing

  • Pools and breakfast areas can be very crowded during peak times; sunbeds get taken early

  • Some rooms and facilities show wear with inconsistent housekeeping and occasional pest reports

  • Beach lacks sunbeds and can be rough for swimming in low season

Endless fun but in need of a refresh

Our kids had endless fun at the water park. I want to truly thank the staff of Talay restaurant for their knowledge of gluten allergy- truly five star service and made my vacation stress free. The New Year celebration was really fun and fantastic food. I will only give 4 stars as we thought the buffet offer was very limited and the hotel generally needs a full renovation. (Older hotel built after tsunami). Might be back if it gets a revamp.

Amazing Family Resort

Cannot fault this hotel. We had three family rooms in the Aqua wing All Inclusive. 6 adults and 5 children. Rooms were huge and well equipped. Pools and water slides/play equipment were clean and well supervised. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Food was great. Upon check in hotel gives you an app on your phone. App has everything you need to know. You can book activities, order food, check opening times, everything is on there. You can eat in any restaurant or get it delivered to your room. We had a few picnics on the grass with the kids and also ate on our balcony/pool area. Hotel replaces beach towels all day long and you can order anything you need through the app (ie: bottle opener, more water, bucket of ice etc). We absolutely loved this hotel and would definitely return.

Unlimited bottled water was appreciated

Had fun at The Sands. Two swim up bars - would have preferred they open earlier but maybe that’s the holiday me talking…. Kids club was good. Staff lovely. Water slides switched operational hours with the lazy river. Lazy river was sped up (fastest one yet). Cleanliness wasn’t fully there. Housekeeping sometimes missed our room as it was at the end of their row. We got a family room with pool access which we enjoyed more than we thought we would, glad we made the gamble. Thought the cost for our week was a little steep for what we got. Take into account our Aussie dollar not so strong, peak time and the NYE surge pricing maybe it wasn’t steep?
