The Pink Sands has a great location with secluded homes and cottages on the best stretch of the beach on the island The beach is raked daily. Each unit is unique with spaces to meet every need. The 3 bedroom home with a cottage and pool provided a great space for a multi-generational family vacation. The house was top notch but the cottage was in need of attention. Housekeeping, while adequate, could use improvement. If you are not satisfied, let the front desk know and the staff will fix it. The staff is accommodating and arranged all of our tours and reservations. Malcom 51 is top notch in food and service as well as the Blue Bar with great drinks and a beautiful view. Breakfast and lunch were a treat and they offer beach service, which you can request from the the beach shack attendant. A great island experience, would not hesitate to rebook as we throughly enjoyed our five night stay. Remember, you are on the island so enjoy the pace.

Resort is definitely not 5 stars - especially service, food and accommodations. Beach is beautiful and large. A little wavy for small kids but great for bigger kids. Some of the rooms are more updated than others… seems like oceanfront rooms are most updated. When we checked in we were told breakfast opens at 7:30am but things don’t get going till 8am. We found this to be true and it’s unfortunate… executive chef was kind enough to take our order at 7:45am one morning when none of the workers were around. Beach service was subpar and slow. Rooms are okay - we moved rooms once due to poorly situated room. Second room had electrical problems where AC and all of electricity went out - few times an hour. We were too annoyed to move again. If you want a real five star experience go to Cove Eleuthera on main island.

I want to give a perfect review to this resort. Been coming to this island for a while now. The staff and the whole experience was a 10/10. Customer service is fantastic. Besides the property being gorgeous and the food being great I really want to focus on customer service. By far the best I’ve had on harbour island. I wanted to mention the manager Romona is very on top of things and is an example of professionalism. Money well spent!

Andrea at the Blue Bar truly made our stay at Pink Sands Hotel unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with genuine warmth and kindness that instantly made us feel welcome. Her attentiveness, friendly energy, and sincere care added something special to each of our visits to the bar. She offered great recommendations, remembered our preferences, and checked in on us with perfect timing — always with a smile. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with such a personal touch, and Andrea did exactly that with ease and grace. Her presence became a meaningful part of our experience, and we looked forward to seeing her each day. It’s people like Andrea who turn a beautiful place into a truly memorable one. We can’t thank her enough for making us feel so well cared for. Pink Sands is lucky to have her!
