    Lovely views over the golf course. Staff were pleasant. Food quality was only ok for mains. Not enough calamari in the calamari salad which was probably half a lettuce with 6 small pieces of calamari. Standard parma too salty. Spring rolls were fine. Mac and cheese croquettes were tasteless. Too expensive for mains given average quality. Great coffee and deserts to finish. Probably will return for coffee and deserts.

    Steak was delicious and service great. I think there is less noise in Bunkers so easy to talk. Need better sound proofing in Shirley's

    We had a fab night celebrating a family birthday, the staff were attentive and friendly, the food came out quickly and was lovely and it was a very relaxing atmosphere. Can recommend the sands for a great meal and casual night out.

    We are enjoying the themed nights, and especially enjoyed steak night as the rump was delicious and cooked as requested. The service was a great improvement on our experience two weeks ago.

    Steak night was delicious. Service was haphazard, organised chaos, with no structure. Queueing for food and drinks should be separate.

    Went to a dinner show at the Sands.. Staff were amazing, the layout was very good, the food even though very nice was just on the 'warm' side...which is a shame considering I was sitting at the first table to be served, not sure how others faired further away and last to be served, otherwise it was good.

    We had the most incredible dinner experience at The Sands Resort and loved our delicious dinner of seafood linguine and the gnocchi with some fabulous cocktails. The service was great and all staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a lovely view of the golf course.
