Guest's Reviews
We no longer use mass tourism web listings, as we need to filter ours guests,
looking for signs of courtesy, respect and good manners.
The well known mass tourism websites do not allow this anymore.
So we don't use them anymore !
The reviews below were written by our guests during our first years of holiday rentals .
We do not ask guests review anymore as we are no more involved in mass tourism bookings,
The quality of our pictures, of our website, and of the reviews speaks by themselves on our care for our place and for our guests.
We are the owners, we take good care of our beautiful place ourselves, the best we can.

The Best Accommodation In Our Many Journeys!
Wow! This was the best
accommodation we have encountered so far in our many journeys. The apartment
was spacious, very well decorated, and close to the beach. The availability of
a pool at the facility was also very well appreciated for a quick dip. Our host
(Philipp), went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay in Phuket by
giving us all the information we needed to get around and enjoy the area. He
also helped us with the transportation to and from the airport. Our week in Nai
Harn beach was just perfect and we will have lasting memories of our vacation.
Thank you Philipp! - Jean, Lynn and the kids…

Très bel appartement, confortable et bien situe !
Séjour très agréable dans ce charmant appartement tout
à fait conforme à la description faite par le propriétaire. Propre, confortable,
décoration soignée et avec une situation géographique idéale, nous avons passés
d'excellentes vacances. En famille ou entre amis, Nai Harn Beach est un endroit
magnifique que nous recommandons. Merci Philippe pour vos conseils et votre gentillesse.
A bientôt.
Owner Response to Stéphane & Fadma, Merci Stéphane et Fadma pour votre gentil commentaire. Nous avons été heureux d'accueillir une famille française, ce n'est pas si souvent, et que vous ayez apprécié notre appartement autant que son emplacement idéal si proche de la superbe plage de Nai-Harn. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau tous les quatre. Bien cordialement. Pim & Philippe. |

The perfect place to spend a holiday !
We stayed at the apartment during February 2014 and enjoyed a really
good , relaxing holiday. The apartment is extremely comfortable and very well
presented and is in a perfect location for the beach just a few minutes walk
away, and for local shops and restaurants. The beach and the swimming are the
best we have ever come across. The Building is a very pleasant private resort
with a lovely pool. This is a perfect place to unwind and relax. Phillippe is a
charming person and he really takes the trouble to welcome you and makes every
effort to ensure your stay is just right. A lot of thought has gone into the
apartment, everything you could possibly want is provided, and the maid service
is excellent. We had a great time, the weather was beautiful - not one drop of
rain in the month - blue skies and warm evenings - all in all the perfect place
to spend a holiday !.
Owner Response to Andrew & Jan Dear Andrew and Jan, Many thanks for your kind review on VRBO. Pim and I appreciate it as much as we have appreciated to have you for one month in our apartment. It was very nice to accommodate a so nice couple. Thank you for your invitation to visit you in Cambridge. When we will go to Europe, sure we will stop by and be happy to see you again. All the Best.

Wonderful 10 days stay in this luxury apartment
We had
a wonderful 10 days stay in this luxury apartment (B101) in The Sands apartment
complex, very well located, not more then 5 minutes by foot from the
magnificent Nai Harn beach. The apartment is very tasty decorated, and it has
everything you need, coffee machine, blender, toaster, microwave oven and other
useful things. We've also got without extra supplement a baby cot and a baby
high chair for our smaller child. Outside the building,just up the stairs,
there is a nice swimming pool. There are about 7-8 restaurants, exchange office
and very small mini market next to the beach. In 10 minutes walk in the other
direction (left from the apartment), there are other few restaurants to try.
Just over the lake, across the apartment, there is a big playground for kids.
The owners are nice and very helpful. We could recommend a stay in this
apartment.
Owner Response to Sabina & Giuseppe Dear Sabina and Giuseppe, Thank you for your kind opinion and review of your stay in our apartment. It was nice to accommodate you little family of 4. Please give a special kiss to the little charming Eva and come back when you want. With our kind regards. Pim & Philippe |

Thanks to the owners, Pim and Phillippe.
We spent excellent 10 days in The Sands apartment. The descriptions was absolutely correct, the apartment is very beautifull, completely equipped. During our stay it was cleaned twice. Owners - Pim and Phillippe were very hospitable, ready to help us in finding restaurants, stores, laundry. Beach is nearby. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return once again. Elena and Victor Owner Response to Elena & Victor Sent : lundi 20 janvier 2014 22:25 À : thesandsphuketbeachapartment@gmail.com Dear Pim and Phillippe, we are now at home in Saint Petersburg. It's -18C now and we can hardly believe that there is a place in Phuket where it is +35C. We would like to say thank you for your hospitability during our stay in Nai Harn Beach at your nice apartment. We spent beautiful 10 days and were impressed with your friendly attitude towards your guests. All our family felt as we were at home. Our trip to Bangkok was safe, we didn't see any protestors. We all will remember our holidays. Best regards, Elena, Victor, Irina, Alexander. Dear Elena and Victor, Thank you very much for your nice email and your review on HomeAway. Pim and I are glad That you have appreciated your first stay in Thailand in our apartment. We are happy to confirm you that you were our first Russian Guests and that we have really appreciated your kindness and your smiling personality. Dealing with both of you was a pleasant surprise, as Russian nationals have not a so good reputation here, at the moment, for different reasons. And so, we are going to renew this good experience with others Russian guests in the future, providing they have English speaking ability and knowledge of international behaviors and usages. With our kind regards. Pim & Philippe. |

5 Stars Quality !!! @ TheSandsPhuketBeachApartment @ Nai Harn Beach.
To my surprise and delight, great accommodations awaited me here in Phuket. This was my first time visiting Thailand . The owners, Pim & Philippe, were very prompt and straightforward in answering my questions and providing an itemized accurate quote (no surprises). All the arrangements where easily handled online. Upon arriving, I was personally met by Philippe, who escorted me to the very spacious apartment which was more spectacular than was depicted! The two bedroom units are enormous and well configured to afford privacy if you are sharing with another couple. It has the warm feeling of home and not that of a hotel. My apartment was very fresh, artfully furnished with a formal dinning room and very well maintained. It had all the usual amenities and more. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials to get you started. I also want to emphasize that Philippe speaks excellent English and is well versed on all the usual tourist questions concerning restaurants, motorbikes, and local venues. I have to say the staff bent over backwards in providing me that extra service that you rarely see anymore. The apartment complex is a few miles out of Rawai and very near the Nai Harn beach. The beach has all you ever want, chairs, umbrellas, drinks, massages and warm ocean water. About a mile away is another mini beach, Yanui, which offers snorkeling and kayaking. Restaurants, minimarts and fruit venders are all in walking distance. Taxis and mini bus service are also just meters away. The apartment has a very private well maintained pool area. There is also a garage and 24 hour security. On my stay, I never had problem and felt absolutely safe. I consider this place a bargain. 5 star quality accommodations, security, along with a comfortable atmosphere provided by the owners. I will definitely return and highly recommend this place, especially for first timers, like myself, who want a "no worry" relaxing and safe place. Owner Response to Tom Thank you for your long review on Trip Advisor Tom. Pim and I are Happy that you have enjoyed your first 2 weeks stay in Thailand in our apartment. We hope to see you back soon. Best regards. Pim & Philippe. |

Fabulous High Quality apartment in a Great LocationWe have stayed in Nai Harn three times but this was our first
time in the apartment. I chose it for its proximity to the beach and great value for money. We were not disappointed! The apartment is high quality and beautiful. It is roomy (we have two young daughters) and has a great fully equipped kitchen with juicer, oven, and coffee machine (only downside is limited storage space for food if you want to cook at home). The furnishings were fabulous and comfortable. Tvs in every room, HD/3D in the sitting room, and there was a welcome pack of fruit and basic foods as well as toiletries and water. There is a lovely pool - always really quiet - just next to the apartment as a great place to cool down after the waves and the sand. Nai Harn beach is still lovely and is only three minutes walk. Taxis, a little mini-mart and loads of restaurants are on the beach too. Nai Harn village is an easy 3-4km walk with lots of massage, cafes, eateries along the way. Taxis are easy to catch to go further into Patong (though why would you) and Kata and Karon. We would recommend M&Ms;about ten minutes walk - fab pizza (though was closed for summer this year we were there, very disappointing) and new Portofinos, about 15-20 minutes walk - again, great pizza! Phillipe the owner was helpful and attentive; he arranged taxi transfers and personally took us to the supermarket to buy groceries. You must ask him to arrange for a massage from Lek; the best Thai massage my husband and I have ever had! If you want somewhere near the beach, quiet and luxurious with excellent amenities and great furnishings you are willing to treat with care and respect, I cannot recommend this place enough. In fact, I already have! . Owner Response to Holly Dear Holly, Thank you very much for your detailed and positive comments about your 2 weeks stay in our apartment for your last vacation in Nai Harn. It is very kind of you to share this and very much appreciated, as it will help other possible travelers from FlipKey and Trip Advisor to get confidence, if they are considering a stay here. A special thanks to your very sensitive and kind opinion on our place. It is really rewarding of all our efforts to give the best we can. Kind regards to You and to Paul, to Mathilda and to Esmé.

Fantastic Stay!We have been home for 2 weeks now and would like to thank the owners of the Apt.
It was exactly as it looks and everything was set up for us. The owners were very accommodating and more than helpful. On many occasions they gave us rides to the grocery store for supplies, into town for shopping and to the Gypsies market for fresh fish. They had originally said provisions to start out were at the apt. More so than that, we had a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit, coffee, tea, sugar, yogurt, cream, milk.....drinking water and much more....Phillip even brought us a couple of beers when we first arrived. Very helpful and kind. Do not hesitate to rent from the Sands Apt. The beach is very close and many little restaurants nearby. All in all, a great trip. I traveled with my mom 72, my daughter 16, and myself, all women and we felt very safe. My only caution is to be prepared to pay some for air conditioning as we didn't run it that much and went over the daily allotment. Thanks again to Pim and Phillip Owner Response to Deanna Dear Dee, Thank you very much for your so kind review on Home Away. We were happy to take care of such nice guests as you are. We wish you the best and we will be happy to welcome you again in the future. Thanks for your visit and kindness. Say hello to Judith and Skyler. Pim & Philippe |

Espectaculares vacaciones en PhuketDespués de quedarnos ocho días en el apartamento de Pim y Philippe, podemos asegurarles que fueron unas vacaciones inolvidables. El apartamento es muy bonito y tiene todo lo necesario para que te sientas en casa. La playa es fabulosa y queda a
pocos minutos caminando. Es una playa ideal para familias con niños pequeños pues tiene un área maravillosa para nadar y el agua es calientita. Philippe es un excelente anfitrión y da maravillosos consejos para pasear en la isla. La atención y el servicio que da Philippe es algo que vale la pena destacar. Es un apartamento que recomendamos a todo el mundo!!!

t What a great Phuket Vacation!What a great time the 4 of us had in Phuket! All
thanks to the owners here at the Sands 101B! Of course Phuket itself was amazing, but our vacation was definitely a success thanks to the helpfulness of the management! 2 couples came on this trip, and they gave us such great advices according to what kind of vacation we wanted, even gave us a ride to Phuket town and gave us a little tour! (since we've never driven motor bikes before ;P) They kept a great apartment, and had maid service a few times in our short vacation, but also gave us their honest opinion about certain tourist attractions/traps. I wanted to cook 1 night (great equipment in the kitchen) and casually mentioned I wanted to get Fish sauce for Thai seafood cooking. He took a trip to the market and came back and surprised us with a little bottle of fish sauce & dessert!! How sweet!! Thank you so so much for a wonderful time! Liv. Owner Response to Olivia Thank you so much Olivia for your kind words and review. You were our first American guests and are also the first review we get. Thanks again for that. Your stay in Phuket was short with so many things to do, so we hope and we will be happy to see you again with Steven, Kate & Clark. You were 2 very sweet couple. We wish you the best. Pim & Philippe Ps: After you left we have changed the mattress that Steven found a little too hard for his back. We installed a softer one and we put 2 x 7,5 pure Latex topper on each king size beds. Hope next reviewer will appreciate them ! |
Enjoy your Family holidays in a large, spacious & tastefully decorated apartment, fully equipped for your maximum comfort and pleasure, at the same price of a small hotel room of equivalent quality !
