The Sands by Katathani Resorts is relative newcomer in Khao Lak and only opened for business in December 2012. Inspired by the natural surroundings of Nang Thong beach and lush leafy vegetation, this property radiates relaxation. Its driveway is approximately 100 metres long and off the main road making it an easy walk to access local shops and food venues. Either side of the property, a patrol checks for in-house guests; ensuring there are no unwarranted visitors using it as a thoroughfare either.
Within the property, The Sands room is the lead-in category and at a spacious 45 sq m is well suited for couples. The Family rooms can comfortably accommodate two adults and two children (provided one is under age of four years) - it evokes an underwater world theme which is a favourite amongst little ones. A sliding door allows a flow-through breeze giving some privacy and the ability to keep an eye on the kids (or they you?). There are interconnecting rooms as well for larger family members.
Also, families can enjoy its dedicated Kid’s Club and abundant daily activities for adults including a language class, Thai boxing, yoga, nature walk and more. The vegetable carving and cooking classes do attract a fee.
None of the rooms have a full-ocean view however a partial-ocean outlook is possible as the property’s rear end faces the beach, giving the ability to see the sun set and waves coming in at an angled view.
Rain showers are the norm of each room and the Sea Suites offer one or two-bedrooms and are in the vicinity of
100 sq m with a jacuzzi and grand balcony.
None of the fridges are stocked with mini-bar goodies - a relief for someone like me who would prefer to just purchase what I need without having a staff member constantly checking the inventory of what’s been used – or more often - not used.
There’s a swim-up bar for those thirsty Aussies and Europeans and you’ll notice whilst floating around signs asking to be quiet, otherwise you might have to join the kids down at their pool with their parents. The position of the lagoon is the central focus within the property and fish feeding occurs twice a day outside the Floating Market restaurant.
The Sands is considered a 4.5 star property offering a turn-down service in the evening regardless of room type and is a welcome touch when returning from dinner.
