This was an incredible stay. The staff went out of their way to make it special for us, so much so that we extended our trip by a night! The restaurant was fantastic. Can’t wait to go back and try the spa.

The property was very cute and decorated great. The bed was super comfortable. My only complaint was the lighting. The lighting was super dim in the bathroom and it made it hard to do makeup/see. Rooms needed brighter bathroom lighting.

The hotel is a perfect layout for pool, restaurant and room. It has a sophisticated charm and all the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. We also used the spa facilities and this also had a wonderful welcoming charm. We loved the Moroccan vibe and made the hotel feel even more luxurious! We will definitely return for another stay.

Perfect property! A true getaway. Huge plus that it’s kid free but some of the adults tend to over do it but that wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. Loved it! Only snag is that they send you courtesy text messages offering, say for example, house keeping and don’t follow through on your request. I left my do not disturb sign on and the hotel text me if I was sure I didn’t want house keeping. I said, yes I would and gave them a 4 hour window (per there request) and they never cleaned the room. Small mishap.

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!
