Imagine your first family holiday, the magical memories that stayed with you forever. For Nicholas Malcolm and Sands Resort Hotel that's where the story starts and why family is the heart of our story. My first holidays in the 1950s were to Newquay, then at the age of five we moved from Yorkshire in to a derelict hotel my parents purchased in Mawgan Porth.
The Malcolm family have spent the last 40 years developing Sands as a Hotel Resort. Whether you are visiting Cornwall for adventure, exploration, relaxation or a beach-side family holiday, our friendly staff combined with our fabulous range of leisure and relaxation facilities will ensure your wishes are fulfilled.
Whether it is a holiday seaside adventure with the kids, a relaxing break with your other half or a spa weekend with the girls you're after, we've got just the thing for you. All you need to do is pick your favourite, place your booking and start counting the days until your Cornwall dream will come true.
Spacious 2-room suites, loads of on-site activities, the nearby beach and a fun packed entertainment programme will make your next Cornwall holiday one to remember. During school holidays families can make the most of all our amazing onsite activities, including the pools, soft play, our games room and outside playgrounds, crazy golf, foot golf and lots more.

We had a fab few nights here at the end of October half term (2 adults, 2 kids - 4 and 9). Good size suite (Contemporary Sea View) with a fab view of the coast (and lots of rainbows!).
Great facilities - we used the pool every day and had it to ourselves twice! Plus, they had lots of fun Halloween activities which we could take part it (shout out to the excellent staff member who hosted the Family Games!).
Only minor quibbles are the suite door opens into the kids' sleeping area, the shower is not designed for anyone over 5'2" and the place could probably do with a lick of paint to freshen it

We enjoyed a wonderful stay here with our toddler. It was the perfect resort in terms of facilities for keeping our toddler entertained and engaged whilst giving us the chance to take a breather. A highlight for me was having a beer in the bar overlooking the bay each afternoon. I just wish Cornwall was a bit closer to where I live!

Loved this hotel, everything from staff to facilities was brilliant. High quality meals with the specials changing each day and all included in the half board price. Loads of free and bookable activities to and not so busy that the kids couldn’t do them. Very Covid safe, our kids 7 & 9 said it was their best holiday ever 😁

It's a great family hotel. Genuinely a great spot. It has so much to keep the kids occupied and it's only 1.8 miles from Newquay. You have watergate Bay just down the road as well. Yeah it's not cheap and it's not a 5 star resort but it's worth the money. Place is clean, rooms are nice, (mattresses could do with a renew but not the worst by any stretch), food is good and a great base if you want to go explore. Above all, the kids will love it, two pools (outdoor and indoor) soft play, football, basketball, tennis, playgrounds, zip lines, maze etc. Worth it in my opinion :)

This is a family orientated hotel complex set just outside newquay overlooking the bay. The scenery is stunning and peaceful and really lets you relax and enjoy your holiday. The rooms are very large and have cots as well as baby listening services. The food is good, although becomes a little samey after a few days. The ingredients are of high quality and the portions are well sized.
