Beautiful accommodations
These accommodations was absolutely gorgeous. If my patio was any closer to the water, I would’ve needed a bathing suit. The Nespresso coffee appliance with pods was a nice touch. Pool was amazing and clean and the staff was extremely accommodating. While the decor was fresh and updated, the lock to secure the bathroom barn door was a little rickety. There was just 1 robe hook in place of towel bars in the bathroom and the sink wasn’t the cleanest between itself and the mirror. Overall, I’d stay again for sure.

We stayed at the Sands many years ago and it was a great location but the rooms were dingy. This time, either we had a much better room, or it has been updated. The hotel itself is in a perfect location for going to the beach, and the fact that two chairs and an umbrella come with the price of the room is a huge plus. The restaurant is excellent, with great views. Overall it's a great place to stay, especially the full-ocean view rooms with balcony! The hotel was very crowded at least when we were there, and there was an elevator that was out, which meant that we had to walk up between 3 and six flights each time we entered and left the hotel. Of course that could happen to anyone, but we did have the thought that it would have been nice if they offered us some kind of compensation.

We have stayed at this property many times. The only issue we had was with one of the bartenders by the pool. I ordered a drink and did not like how it tasted, when I went to ask him to make me another, he was very rude and impolite. This has never happened as I find the staff to be helpful and polite. Perhaps he was having a bad day!
