Nice place, very family friendly. Beachfront with easy access. We enjoyed the pool, and hot-tub. Next time I would book a ground floor condo, to have sliding door access to the grass field. Great for the kiddos. Reasonably priced. I’d go back.

We have stayed here before and were glad to return. The elevator down to our room which was beachside is perfect for my husband who has mobility issues. Also walk in shower in our room. Dishes made it nice to be able to either sit inside or outside and have breaky or lunch.

The view is great and the environment is decent. However, we received a call from the hotel staff urging us to check in because they close at 6 PM. This was quite surprising and inconvenient. What if we arrive after 6 PM—do we lose our fully paid booking and can’t check in? This policy makes no sense for a hotel and really affected our overall experience.

Girls weekend at Ocean Sands

It was a great place wish it had black out curtains in the rooms though as it was so bright in early mornings . Would have been great to have had a place with 2 bathrooms when you have 6 women staying in one place. Also would be good to have a hanger thing for the hand towel in the bathroom by the sink
