When you consider the serenity and natural beauty the Sands has to offer it puts the finishing touches to an already perfect venue.

Your day of festivities can start at the Sands Spa and end by having your guest stay the night.

Our Waterfront Spa can enhance your day with bridal party preparation or a couples massage to help unwind before the service. Our finest suites host a Jacuzzi tub, king bed, and balcony overlooking beautiful Golden Lake.

We spent two happy and fun nights here! We booked three rooms to attend a family wedding in nearby Barry's Bay. Check in seamless, rooms delightful, bed and linens comfortable, staff extremely helpful and accommodating!! Steps away from clean and groomed beach and lake is shallow and we were able to swim and play. This resort would be great for families with young children. The restaurant is very good with a fabulous lakefront view, and wait staff extremely friendly and kind (we were with our elderly mom). Wish we had made spa appointments, looked inviting! Be sure to stay here when you visit the Madawaska Valley.

Room Tip: Rooms 4 and 5 are on a lower level, practically on the beach.

Gorgeous

I stay in Pembroke often, and this is my favorite restaurant.

Atmosphere: The restaurant is attached to a small cottage resort and set on a lake with a sandy beach. Most of the tables have stunning lake views. It has a large dining space, and the decor is very simple. It's not a fancy restaurant, and would be great for groups and families. It has a very laid back homey feel. It's about a 30 minute drive from the Best Western/Holiday Inn in Pembroke and the drive there is lovely as well. It is definitely worth the commute.

Food: The food is probably the best I've eaten from anywhere between Deep River and Deacon. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the beer can chicken. It is delectable. Portions are generous and the dipping sauce is also good. Roasted vegetables are not over cooked and the garlic mash potatoes is done well. My second favorite thing on the menu is the schnitzel. The portion is huge and the mushroom sauce on top is yummy. If you are looking for something a little healthier, the salmon is also an option. It is moist and flavorful. I normally don't order appetizers because I want to save room for dessert. I really like the apple blossom and the ice cream sundae.
