Reviews


Despite some mixed reviews on service and food quality, Sands restaurant seems to excel in providing a delightful afternoon tea experience in a glamorous setting. The staff is friendly and the presentation is top-notch. However, there have been complaints about long wait times and dry scones. The main courses are praised for being fantastic, but starters and desserts seem to need improvement. Overall, Sands is recommended for a daytime visit, especially to enjoy the lovely terrace atmosphere, on average, the rating for Bay at Sands Hotel is 2.5.
