“Pink Sands a lovely little cottage hotel”

We loved this place. Quiet and laid back, we were always the only persons at the pool. No doubt as the place to be is the pink sand beach. No jostling to find a spot. Really lovely beach and ocean here. This hotel is quiet, a bit quirky but oh so lovely. Everyone has their own little cottage tucked into the jungle with roosters and baby chicks all over. We travelled with our 2 girls ages 8 and 5. I was worried they'd be bored but not so. Just loved the quiet pace of hanging out at the beach. Clear gentle aqua waters with beautiful fine sand. Did I mention it was Spring Break and oh so quiet. No waiting in lines to eat, etc.... Food delicious in all the places we tried from Pink and Coral Sands to Dunmore Beach Club to Runaway Hill and Sip Sip and The Landing. I hope it stays just as it is ...a quiet, luxury hideaway.

“the hotel was very good and we will come back”

Very relaxing atmosphere!

“Outstanding All Around!”

Pink Sands was everything we expected and more. Beautiful setting, top notch location, fabulous food, and above all, an outstanding staff. We stayed in an oceanfront cottage (Cabbage Cay). It was spacious, clean, and well stocked. Attention to cleanliness and supplies was constant. The outdoor patio was wonderful. Its like your own private paradise. Very low key and quiet, super private. The hotel and the island were spotlessly clean. Staff gets 5 stars plus, so friendly and helpful, a joy! Beach access easy and beautiful clean beach. Food and drink outstanding but pricey (but that was expected). The island and hotel both felt very safe. This is an excellent honeymoon spot! We travel extensively and without a doubt, this was the best service we have ever encountered. I can't say enough about the whole experience of Harbour Island - what a wonderful friendly place! Enjoy the hotel food but do venture out to other places...walk or rent a golf cart. Eat at Valentine's (ribs out of this world) and Sip Sip and definitely give Arthur's Bakery a try early in your visit...because you will want to return again. Can't say enough good about Pink Sands...if you enjoy a low key beach atmosphere and friendly people all around, this is the place for you.

“Island of roosters!”

Wonderful Beach! Pink Sands is a gorgeous, well cared for facility. Peaceful, except for the roaming roosters. Staff quickly responds to any requests. The beach goes on forever and wasn't at all crowded when we were there. It's fun to rent a golf cart to explore the island.

“Love to go back”

Best. Vacation. Ever. Staff was wonderful. Friendly, attended to our every need. Beach is beautiful, weather was great. We were there over Valentine's Day - they left hand made artisan chocolates for us that night...yum!

“Sun and Sand”

A spectacular beach and excellent food Very few additional services and absolutely no night life Just right for a quiet, private getaway.

“Laid back and relaxed”

The hotel had just come through a bad hurricane and we felt that some minor maintenence in the rooms had been neglected because of this. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay and the staff was very attentive and friendly. Would recommend this for a completely laid back beach vacation. Our cottage was secluded and private, and we were visited by chickens twice a day looking for a handout! If you are looking for nightlife or lots of activities this is not the place to go.

“annother island experienced”

pricey but a great place to stay with easy access to the pink sands beach. golf carts on the island make local exploration easy. locals very friendly. felt safe at all times.

“Great beach and four star resort.”

We stayed at the pink sands for six nights. The airport transfer to the hotel were very good. Soloman from the hotel was waiting for us (with a sign) and wisked us off to the harbor for the water taxi and ride to the resort. Very nice service. The checkin went well and our thrust was quenched with a glass of champagne while we checked in. Room was comfortable but like previous reviews they seemed dated. We came because of the pink sand beach and you will not be disappointed. Great beach. The blue bar is convent for breakfast and drinks. Be prepared to spend money for food as prices are high. We stocked up on munchies and drinks (wine and beer) at the local stores. Make sure you visit queen concho and ma ruby for dining. They are a reasonable alternative to the resort restaurants. The food at the terrace restaurant is better than the corral sands but be prepared for a large bill. The golf cart rentals are readily available but again expect to pay $45-$53/day. We did walk over to the dunmore beach club and the facilities look in better shape. All in all it was an excellent vacation for us because the pink sand beach was worth it. One item they could do is at least provide a cart service to the water taxi harbor when you check out as we had to take a taxi which cost $5/person. For this price they should provide the same departing services as those when you arrived for the amount of money you pay per night.

“well situated and tastefully appointed, with mediocre food and service”

Pink Sands is an elegant , small hotel of an era gone by. Well appointed in it's amenities, comfortable yet not austentatious. I love how it is situated in relation to the beach. The beach does indeed have pink sand and is lovely. The beach staff is excellent.The food was mediocre at best, the service inconsistent. We had some wait staff who were top nocth others whose service was on par with MacDonalds. I was surprised we were charged for $7.50 for bottled water at dinner. I would go again only if I were able to take the room only and not the meal plan.
