"Having been disappointed by the Thai definition of a 'resort' before, Sand Dunes was a very pleasant surprise.
It lives up to it's presentation on the booking sites, no deceptive camera angles, no hidden flaws.
Check in was both fast, efficient and with a smile. Service staff were very cheerful and happy to assist.
The room itself was everything promised. Large. Clean. Modern. A great view from the surrounding hills to the ocean.
The fresh white sands of the beach are directly behind the hotel, with the larger of the 2 pools adjoining, next to the top class Shores restaurant.
Dining was delightful. Food portions are very generous, with a nice selection of dishes on the menu. We had the soft shell crab, NZ mussels & deep fried bass one night, with a nice Hoegarten beer to wash it down. If beer is not your tipple of choice a good range of wines, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks can be ordered.
The breakfast offering is just as extensive. A large selection of thai dishes, 2 cook-to-order stations for an omelette, fried, scrambled or other egg dish, fresh fruit, salads, pikelets, waffles, even soft serve ice cream cones. The coffee from the espresso machines was even quite acceptable - coffee is where most breakfast buffets fail.
All in all a very nice resort, worthy of a return visit. The staff cannot be rated more highly, especially the restaurant managers who seemed to never stop working."
