Sandy
Resort, Bophut Beach
Sandy Resort was recommended to me by two coworkers who have stayed
there a few times. I don t know if management has changed since then
or if they have less staff working there for the time of year, but
the resort was nothing like I expected. From the time we arrived,
my wife and I found the staff to be quite rude and unfriendly. The
most friendly people there were the ones working the breakfast buffet,
which was pretty scant itself (the same few dishes every day). When
we got to our room on the first day, we were anticipating something
much nicer. Our Deluxe Bungalow had a leaky air conditioner, mold
in the bathroom, and was generally quite old looking and not well-kept.
Furthermore, cleaning each day consisted of changing the sheets and
emptying the garbage. The toilet and sink were not cleaned for days,
and we had to ask for more soap. Finally, the icing on the cake, after
a week there, was when we requested a transfer to the airport. Usually,
you can get a taxi for 200-300 baht. Sandy wanted 300/person, or 600
for both of us, for a 10 minute drive!!! The hour ride from Phuket
airport to Karon beach only cost 600 baht last year! When I asked
the front desk guy for a break because it would cost much less for
a taxi, he simply replied, Go get a taxi then, at 4:30 am. This is
not how I, or anyone else likes to be treated on their vacation. In
closing, I would have to say that Sandy Resort, though having a great
location, was an utter disappointment. As I said, maybe they are understaffed
or had a major turnover since my friends stayed there, but I and my
wife were very dissapointed with the quality and will definitely NOT
be staying there again. |

We were not at all satisfied with Sandy resort. In fact, anyone of
us has never lived in a hotel room as bad as this one. The room was
not clean and had several spots of mould in the roof, the smell of
mould was terrible. The breakfast was supposed to be open at 0630
AM, but it was totally empty on the buffet at that time. We were happy
that we only planned to stay at Sandy for one night, one more night
would have been a disaster. |

On our last visit we get to stay in the same room and it was very
nice. Love the view at the pool and the beach was wonderful. |

Very nice hotel! Our room (a superior room) was spotlessly clean,
very nice in general. Like in most other places in Thailand, though,
they don t seem to have discovered the shower curtain or how to slope
the floor towards the drain in the bathroom, leading to the whole
bathroom floor being flooded after every shower. The pool is great,
especially since Bophut beach is not so fantastic - it is a bit muddy,
and the sand is quite rough. Service was also generally good, but
for some reason the daytime staff at the restaurant seemed very nonchalant
compared to the very nice evening staff. Anyhow, if you want a few
very peaceful days, Sandy is recommended. If you want lots of people
and nightlife close by, head to Chaweng instead. |

C est mon troisième séjour dans cet hotel et j y retourne toujours
avec autant de plaisir. Le personnel est acceuillant et sympatique.
Les bungalows noyés dans un écrin de verdure et de fleurs. Le restaurant
au bord de la piscine et de la plage vous sert une nourriture excellente.
Vraiment un rapport qualité/prix de 20/20. J ai hate d y retourner. |

Sandy s was nice. The rooms were clean and spacious. The beach on
Bophut is okay. The sand is a little coarse, and at times there was
practically no beach because of high tide. They have nice wooden loungers
with pads and umbrellas. The pool was nice and very clean. The breakfast
was simple but nice, the buffet style allowed for quick service. |

it was alright but it would be better if the resident band is changed. |
