The Sands at Grace Bay

The proper grounds are beautiful with numerous quiet places to relax or read. The room had a spectacular view of a pool and beach! It isn’t peak season so it wasn’t crowded at all. We had breakfast and dinner at Hemmingways which is one of our favorite restaurants on the island. I love it here and can’t wait to go back!

The staff was absolutely wonderful, The unit we were staying in we had some Work being done on it, but the staff made up for it. I would highly suggest staying here.

Very clean and comfortable

Great stay! Lovely property to visit in off season. Nice and quiet with spacious rooms and immaculate beach.

Last day, some armed police men came to the gas station and pulled guns out to another car. It scared us.

AMAZING STAY will be back highly recommended thank you for everything

If you want "fine" this is your place. I have to say, the staff was OK, nothing exceptional, also nothing bad. The room was fine, there was no one at the resort so nothing was crowded, but there was a TON of construction all around which was BEYOND disappointing and very disturbing. Not only the new resort being built NEXT DOOR so there was CONSTANT cranes and hammering and drilling and TONS of noise from that, but also this resort seemed to be doing lots of repairs on units as well so there was jackhammering of tile patios and hammering with screened porches being replaced, and not just like a few minutes of noise, it was ALL DAY from 8am until 4pm! No peace and quiet by the pool, no peace and quiet at the beach. In fact, they were also replacing the boardwalk access to the beach so there was that inconvenience and noise as well. I truly wish someone had been honest about all of this in my booking, I would have chosen a different property. Instead they hid this and made my vacation to celebrate my birthday very annoying and unenjoyable. At least Tracy and Carolyn and the restaurant staff were nice, sad, but true that was the highlight of the entire week!

The Sands was a lovely resort. Grace Bay is our favorite place in the world and The Sands is also conveniently located to the shopping area as well. We loved the pool facing the ocean and the restaurant on site was cute. However, I would not reserve a first floor Garden Suite again. We were disappointed in ours as the patio area was enclosed and there was no airflow. It was very hot and surrounded by foliage so felt a little claustrophobic. We asked to be moved to the second floor and the staff was very lovely and accommodating. Our second floor suite was very nice!

The st Regis is currently under construction and it’s in the very early stages. Needless to say it was extremely noisy. At times the staff felt a little cold, particularly at the restaurant. The grounds were under maintenance, which we were not made aware until check in. The highlight was how beautiful the part of grace bay that the sands sits on. It was unmatched.

Great location, right on the beautiful beach and close to shops and restaurants!

The hotel was very nice great condition!! Definitely would have been better with a free meal!!maybe breakfast since it’s not all inclusive but i definitely enjoyed my stay and was comfortable!! And it also cane be safer it’s to easy for outsiders to access the property! But it’s still a great place!

It would be nice if there was another restaurant at the property. And if there was a shuttle servuce

Stayed at The Sands for 5 nights. Construction nextdoor at future St. Regis Resort is constant, 7 days a week, and work begins at 7AM and lasts all day. The sawing and power tool sounds penetrate the rooms and can be heard while trying to relax on the beach / at the pool as well. We didnt have a working TV in our living room the entire stay after 2 calls on 2 different days to request it be fixed. Toilet clogged in one of the two bathrooms and no one came to fix it (someone in our party had to fix it themself). The beach and pool area were great and Hemingway’s was a nice restaurant on-site. Close proximity to the town as well.

Excellent stay

The room was ok

Was amazing vacations

Love the beach, clean, perfect for my daughter to play.

Great location

July 2025 construction of new resort next door. The property itself is great for families. The rooms are spacious and up to date. The restaurant food is good and beautifully located on the beach. I will definitely consider going back after construction next door is completed.

The carpet in the living dining room was old and I getting stripped of it all the time it need to be replaced or just remove it.

Nothing special

Property is amazing. It would just be better if they serve breakfast earlier or have more options. Also maybe do inclusive breakfast.

Love the property's facilities, clean pools, lovely private beach with amenities, spa at the resort, in the resort lively bar and restaurant, shuttle service to other resorts/ restaurants, complimentary bike and kayaking, and staff is very helpful arranging water sport activities, kids friendly atmosphere Amongst the Best vacation trip, beautiful, relaxing

Easily walkable to coffee in the morning, along with shops for souvenirs. Beautiful Grace Bay beach, well kept, helpful staff always around to help with chair setups, lots of beach chairs, wifi good and strong even at the beach, and parking was free at the hotel for our rental car. It was all perfect.

The property itself was beautiful. Great beach and in a good spot easily walkable to the downtown area. There were a few quirks with our room (toilet was broke and they ran out of body wash) which were annoying. The restaurant on site was decent but not amazing. My biggest hang up was the staff was not super friendly or accommodating which you’d think they would be seeing as their jobs exist with tourism. There was construction next door but it didn’t really bother us. Overall, id stay there again if I had to. It was really nice. I might try another resort next time just to compare.

Incredible property and amazing beach. Best beach on the island

Excellent resort. Rooms are clean and spacious and beach is immaculate.

Beautiful property. As someone who vacations to Cancun and St.Thomas, the beach at the resort was just as if not more beautiful. The water is photoshop version blue and warm. The beach itself in terms of the sand is the deeper kind of sand so a bit tough to walk through but not rocky at all. The beach could be picked up better as there was some garbage around and things left on chairs multiple days. Pools and “lazy river” are great, the pool closest to the beach was way too warm but the other two are cooler. Loved that there are little nooks and crannies with loungers for privacy and quiet. They are building a big resort next store but the noise from it was not annoying and not super noticeable. As many people have said, the service as Hemingways restaurant is sooo slowwww. The food is average there but the sister resorts food is great and there is a free shuttle that will take you to those every hour. It’s a very relaxing, very beautiful, a calm vibe all around. The pools do not have the loud music and people trying to get you to play volleyball and do yoga like Cancun does. It’s much more serene and leave you alone. The only big negative was the spa. It was not a spa, it was a room that was sterile and not calm or relaxing at all. The actual massages themselves were poor quality and it is VERY expensive. As someone who gets massages regularly, and for my much cheaper, I was very disappointed I paid anything for that service, let alone what it actually cost.

Great Beach. Restaurant and beach staff were awesome. Only issue was our initial room was a dark dingy room on the first floor. It felt like we were in a NYC basement apartment not in Turks. We never stayed in that room and were moved to a 2nd story pool view room, which is what you expect when you go to an island. Even the layout of the new room was much better. Property is nice just make sure you don't get a first-floor room with no views.

This property located directly on the beach, and within walking distance to multiple restaurants in the town area. It was

Everything was nice

Costumer service was excellent. Couldnt be happier with the staff. The room was average overall. Comfy bed. The bathroom was cramped due to design. Shower entrance, bathroom door and sink all converged a one point. The sink above the mini fridge was inset so far pu hit ypur head on the pantry closet above just trying to turn on the water.

Very good place to stay. We suite with two, full bathrooms was the best!

Staff was great with the exception of the front desk. No one ever spoke unless checking in/out. Reported issues with our room multiple times and was told someone would come and never did. Great place to stay as long as you don’t need to interact with staff in the lobby or have a room with issues.

I enjoyed access to kayaks and snorkeling gear provided by the hotel. Also the availability to check out bicycles to ride to the grocery store was very convenient, some did have flat tires and should be check on more often. I also liked that the hotel has a convenience store on grounds for a quick grab and a restaurant with yummy food on site. During the entire stay no one came to take drink or food orders by the pool or beach... but I'm unsure if that is something the hotel even does. Overall I recommend the stay here for the price.

Loved the accommodations! Lots of room and updated rooms! Great Lanai screened in porches as well. The ladies at the front desk were always helpful and the concierge was great as well. The only critique would be the timeliness of the service at Hemingway's Restaurant. Meals and drinks often took a significant time (always delicious - but be ready to wait) and the bartenders, it would be nice to see a smile :)...that said, great beach, pools, rooms - I would recommend!

The service was great! Having a restaurant right on the property was super convenient. Options for snorkeling, tubes, a towel, etc was nice to have too! The little store with snacks, sunscreen, etc was good too!

The hotel and staff provided a great and relaxing atmosphere. However the shower head was green and filled with mold, the air conditioning did not work in the bathroom creating a sour smell. The room is small but that wasn’t a problem. There are several pools walking distance from the beach and Thursday night fry.

It was a beautiful property the pictures i found in Pinterest were not the same as once we got there. I asked them about that and they said they were old pictures, which didn’t make any sense cause the old pictures look actually better than the new one, the kitchenette in our room really needed to be redone. It was very old. Other than that, everybody the staff was really friendly. Hemmingway‘s restaurant was delicious food. Thank you you have a beautiful island there.

beautiful property! the room is always kept clean and looks so luxurious. very comfortable and spacious, can’t complain about the room at all. the pools and the beach were amazing. very quiet and clean outside as well. the water at the beach was crystal clear. food on property is good too, the coffee is tasty. there’s a convenience store on the property, tennis court and bike rentals. everything is walking distance from the hotel as well. the hotel staff is very friendly and very welcoming. made the stay more enjoyable <3

The resort is nice but more dated than the online views reveal. The kitchen floor tile was chipped and broken in many places. Hair, trapped under the sink, The refrigerator was old, it was creeky and squeaked loudly each time we opened and closed the door. holes in the base of the bed covering frame under the mattress that were very visible. I took pics upon arrival just in case. A bit disappointing for the nightly rate charged but the balance of the resort was nice. Hemingways restaurant on site was fantastic. Ms. Carolyn the GM, made our anniversary . Also, the resort was unable to accommodate my request for a 3rd floor ocean view room. Oh, and for an ocean view keep in mind it’s not ocean front. We were in the farthest building from the ocean in building 6. Hard to see the water. Screened in porches were a plus but still was eaten alive outdoors by ‘noseeums’. The resort should perhaps invest in commercial auto spray for insects.

It

Absolutely terrible experience. We originally planned to stay for two nights, but due to the poor condition of the property and unprofessional behavior from the manager, we decided to leave and stay elsewhere. The room had a strong rust-like odor, and to make matters worse, while I was in the bathroom, I noticed water spilling out from another room — it was a complete mess. I’m extremely disappointed in this place.

Check-in was smooth and the staff was very friendly. Our room was missing linens for the fold-out couch, but room service brought sheets quickly and made the bed. However, they didn’t bring blankets, and when I called to request them, the staff seemed a bit irritated. I also stopped by the front desk a few times with questions and felt like I was bothering them. Most staff were pleasant, but there was a sense of inconvenience when helping guests. The pool areas were a highlight, with four pools and plenty of seating. However, there’s only one towel station located near Hemingway’s on the beach, and trash cans were limited. The resort also needs some minor repairs, such as cracks along the pool edges and visible damage under a small bridge over one of the pools. Beach access was great, with four entry points and lots of chairs and umbrellas. If more were needed, the beach staff quickly set them up. A downside was the lack of convenient foot rinse stations—only two on the property. The second one had a sandal rack but very low water pressure, which wasn’t ideal when the beach and restaurant areas were busy. Lastly, the toilet paper was very thin—upgrading to 2-ply would improve the experience.

This is a wonderful place to stay...So many polite employees to help you...So many things to do there....our 12 time there..

Nice landscaping and pool; helpful staff; good dining (Hemingways); some rooms aren't as pictured on website; only one elevator on site; overall was a good stay.

Beautiful resort in the middle of grace bay. Good restaurant on property, great beach and pool. Room was clean and spacious. Construction next door of large hotel was a little noisy but it didn’t really bother us.

Multigenerational family stayed here for 5 days and had a great time. The only issue beyond the control of the hotel was the noise of the construction for the new building next door. Clean, friendly, peaceful, and fun!

Very well maintained. Perfect location.

The hotel staff were not very friendly or helpful. Each day we had interactions with staff where they just seemed to be inconvenienced when helping us. Very strange since most resorts I've traveled to understand they are in the business of hospitality and exceptional service is important. This was confirmed when we traveled to a few other resorts to use their restaurants and the staff at other places went above and beyond to welcome and wait on us.

Loved the location, amazing beach, great and friendly staff, good dining options and close to the shops. This is construction next door and the tvs were broken but it didn’t bother us.

Excellent

This resort is great! Wonderful location and great beach access with beach chairs, kayaking, and paddleboarding included! We spent a lovely weekend here and really enjoyed it.

The property was clean, well-maintained and was family friendly. Grace Bay is beautiful, gorgeous water, and they will pick you up on the beach at your hotel for any water excursions or tours you book. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are free and the beach attendants will set up your spot for you. We tried almost every thing on the menu at Hemingway's and we were never disappointed. The nice little downtown area for shopping and eating is just a short walk from The Sands. Take advantage of the free transportation to The Sands' sister hotels, The Palms and The Shore Club, where you can use the beach and eat at the restaurants. We had excellent food!!

Very clean, nice amenities, great staff and location.

This property is absolutely beautiful and the staff incredibly kind & helpful. The original room we were given smelled heavily of smoke (we requested a non smoking room because I have a smoke allergy) and when we entered the room, I immediately began to have an allergic reaction. My husband contacted the front desk and they offered us a humidifier, which was quickly brought up to our room. Unfortunately (and as expected) it didn't do anything so we had to approach the front desk again and request a room change. I absolutely HATED having to ask this (especially since we requested a non smoking room to begin with) and felt that the staff should've offered us a better solution quickler. We wasted the first two hours at this beautiful resort dealing with this. All that being said, the staff was very kind, friendly and helpful and the space is beautiful. As a family of five, we fit comfortably in the unit and I appreciated having a washer and dryer to do some clothes before we headed home. We have three kids and if we were there for longer than one night they would've been bored - the pool is small.

Very small but nice resort. Beautiful beach and pretty good location. About 3/4 of mile into town. Rooms was clean but we ran into a lot of problems. Shower was clogged leaving it to overfill and go over where, toilet wouldn't flush well and a/c turned off and also had to get them to fix that. I will say they fixed everything in a timely manner.

This is a lovely property with easy access to the beach. Grounds are beautiful. Food choices are available fairly close by.

Excellent

Such a great experience for me and my family of 3 the only thing we did not like was there was only one restaurant on the property and the rooms were very small not like it was viewed on as a junior suite

Lovely

Xxxx

Excellent and relaxing stay in the perfect location in Grace Bray. Walkable to all the major restaurants, staff is excellent and rooms are nice and spacious. Would absolutely stay again! Beautiful beach too!

We were there for 3.5 days/4 nights. Everything was effortless which is important for short stays. There is a grocery store, shopping, restaurant district about 1mi away that we walked to. Had a lot of fun sailing the Kobie Cat right from the beach. Also snorkeled with a shark! (Not for everyone, shark optional)

Rooms were spacious and clean

Had an amazing time again. We love coming here and will be coming back soon.

Small, private, quiet, excellent beach. Should provide free cold water stations around the property.

We really liked the laid back beach feel of the Sands and the restaurant Hemingway's was great as well for tasty breakfasts, beachside lunches under the palapas and a more upscale ambiance at dinnertime with live music and torches lit. We were not ready to leave The Sands or the island! We'll be back!

The hotel is nice, dated, but good location. Structure is dated, but was a good price point. Not ideal for business, wifi was terrible.

Everything was great! ALL of the staff were very nice and very accommodating. We will be back!!!

Great beach. Easy walk to town for shopping and dining. Onsite restaurant is good. Our room was horrible, with only a view of the room in front of us, and no sunlight. I couldn't imagine it would be like that, and the hotel would not change. There were 3 rooms in our party, and all 3 had plumbing issues (broken shower, leaking water heater, backed-up drain). The island was great, but I'd stay somewhere else next time.

The hotel staff was not very friendly. My flight was delayed a day so I emailed them letting them know. When I arrived, they had given my room away and wanted to upcharge me for a better room. The Hemingway restaurant on the property has excellent food but we did have a roach on our table and the waitress basically said, they are everywhere and acted like we were overeating. Beach is well kept and property is clean.

The hotel was good. There was no communication from the hotel prior to the arrival. We booked a refundable room with evidence but hotel never responded back and we end upcoming here otherwise we would have lost our money. The hotel.com also took no responsibility. The beach was very nice and the rooms were clean.

Great beach, sand and water (world class)! Great staff… Nice pools and the food was as good as anyone would need. There were certainly better restaurants on the island but they had enough in the menu to get you through the week. - Would have been nice if they mentioned a hotel was being built next door and I would have to listen to construction my entire vacation. It wasn’t terrible but they should have mentioned it at booking.

We had a lovely stay!

The staff is very nice and helpful

Beautiful property. Very clean and friendly staff.

I would not return to this property. Staff has communication problems.

Sands at Grace Bay is absolutely amazing. Staff is all very friendly, helpful and extremely accommodating. The grounds are beautiful and very well cared for. Beach is gorgeous. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas. Hemingway’s is the restaurant on site and the food is amazing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Resort is walkable to shops and restaurants. Grocery store nearby. Couldn’t ask for more from this resort and its wonderful staff.

Great location and one of the best beaches.

My family of five got to stay at the Sands in the week leading up to Christmas. We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very nice, beautiful landscaping and very clean. Our rooms were basically little condos with separate bedroom, two baths, kitchen, living area and plenty of outdoor space. The pools and beach are super convenient. The restaurant on site was above average, and we really appreciated the staff there bringing us drinks on the beach! The town nearby is easily walkable, and there are plenty of dining and shopping options there. I had rented a car to get from the airport to town. I'm not sure if that ended up being completely necessary - probably not - but there was easy parking at the Sands. I let the Sands staff know when we were leaving that we really appreciated the friendly, super attentive staff who worked there. The guys working to set up umbrellas and beach chairs were especially helpful and honestly everyone who worked there was incredibly friendly. I honestly can't think of anything worth criticizing or complaining about! We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. And even the one day where it rained, we were still able to get some breaks in the weather to enjoy the ocean. I would not hesitate to recommend the Sands!

This place was great. We would definitely return! The resort opens right onto the beautiful beach where there are beach chairs and umbrellas reserved for guests. There are several pools to enjoy as well. Excursions and rentals available right from the resort, though we didn't use any of them. The restaurant was great and convenient. It is walking distance from the main shopping area. But shopping was more limited than we expected. My only caution is that this is a pretty busy area of beach with lots of boats and excursions constantly passing by and lots of people around. So if you're looking for privacy in particular, there are better places.

Y

Beautifull loxation on grace bay. Super just and relaxing resort.

The Sands at Grace Bay was great! The property is not too large like some of the other resorts and feels more private. The scenery was great, easy beach access, clean rooms, screen in balconies, etc. it was great all the way around!

The property was great.

Will visit again

Amazing place to stay with your family!! Definitely Going back again soon!!

Very nice 😊

The property was absolutely beautiful! The beach is peaceful with the softest sand I have ever felt. The pools are clean and spacious. 5 stars!

the resort was very nice and relaxing

The property was very beautiful well maintained and clean. The suites were like apartments clean provided all the amenities one would need (just like home). The screen in patio was a plus very relaxing, the suites were very clean, peaceful, comfortable and quiet. Top notch!

The sands property was excellent but the surrounding area needs improvement. We had a fabulous time. The property was beautiful, clean, maintained and the food was great. Will certainly recommend and we will go again.

Was amazing beautiful place well organized

We enjoyed a great girl’s trip. The property is beautiful and everyone was so kind to us.

Our stay at the Sands was absolutely amazing. We booked a short stay to get away right after our wedding and it was just what we wanted. Everything was beautiful, the beach was incredibly, and the staff was so nice. Can't wait to come back!

Paradise

The pool was very nice, and being directly on Grace Bay, this property was excellent

Very good

The property was amazing, staff was nice. Hotel was easy access to the beach
