One of the most amazing stays I have ever had! The service was impeccable and the designer touches really elevated my stay. The room was beautiful and the spacious patio and bathroom were relaxing. The pool area had a great vibe with attentive servers and cold water and sunscreen. The am coffee at the pool is wonderful.

We took a short staycation to the Sands and wished we could’ve stayed longer! This is such a magical property and the Pink Cabana restaurant is a hidden gem in the desert! Amazingly delicious and beautiful food!

If you are looking for a beautifully decorated boutique hotel this is it! From the moment you walk into the lobby you can see how much thought and detail were put into making this hotel a place you would come back to over and over again.

Fabulous little hotel, spectacular restaurant and a lovely pool. My only disappointment and it was a disappointment was having been told that we could spend check-out day by the pool with a plan to eat three meals at the pool/restaurant to be told by a member of staff that we needed to leave the pool because of a wedding party. Understandable but not pleasantly handled.

The hotel is really decorated nicely. I love the tiles in the bathroom, the beautiful bar and outside patio with fountain. The staff was friendly and accommodating Shout out to Summer who took the time to show us to our room and point out the amenities. My only suggestion is to replace the mattress. It was not firm.
