Watched dolphins swim by our oceanfront window every morning. Great way to start our day! Room was a little on the small side but, appointed well. The entire resort staff were extremely helpful AND friendly. Enjoyed the exercise room before breakfast and the rooftop pool in the afternoons. Plenty to do in the area and, at this time of year,... more

This was one of the worse weekends; however it was Halloween. The bathroom was discussing sink-> dirty, toilet->not cleaned there were urine stains around the toilet and on the seat. Tub had 6 jets with 3 working and they were so dirty they were the color of coffee with creamer and add some crud on the filter. I found several... more

This guest's experience did not meet our expectations either. However, I do wish that the guest would have posted her reportedly very favorable review of it's sister resort, The Ocean Key where she was upgraded after attempts to correct the deficiencies were unacceptable. As always, we appreciate the feedback and look forward to serving all of our guests with Value,...

We stayed here over Columbus Day weekend and it did not appear to be crowded. The location is great. It is right on the Boardwalk. The units are nice and the furnishings are okay. The kitchen is small. We stayed in a one bedroom and there are only enough dishes for 4 people. There was no hairdryer in our unit,... more

The oceanfront view of the beach and boardwalk was awesome. The folks at the front desk were very knowledgeable of the area in terms of directions and knowing the best local eating spots. The hotel restaurant specializes in sort of a 'tex-mex' style of fare. Get an order of spicy chicken nachos and a draft beer and sit outside on... more

when i walked in the kitchen the table was set as to welcome us. The kitchen had a tv and couch, the bed room also had a tv. I searched for bed bugs as someone wrote and found nothing but a clean room. I want to go again more

It was labor day weekend and hotel choices were limited. We should have found somewhere else to stay. The rooms are in bad shape. The bed pillow had a blood streak / stain on it. I didn't want to walk around in my bare feet, the floor wasn't very clean. The shower would suddenly get extremely, dangerously hot. The couch... more

Alright. We weren't originally going to stay in this resort due to the negative reviews. However, we got a great deal through an actual owner of a unit at Ocean Sands at the last minute, and was able to stay for an entire week which included the Labor Day weekend. The STRENGTHS: Location, location, location!!! This resort is perfectly located... more

We stay for a week with my family and child. Luckily my baby did not sleep in the bed with me. I noticed a small bug in the bed, but never thought it was bed bugs. The hotel manager had the nerve to tell me the bug wasn't a bed bug but roaches. Can you believe they were willing to... more

Got in the room , carpet old, sticky with multiple disgusting stains. A very pronounced mold odor was present in the room. Room windows were dirty ( room was oceanfront but what a view....). Chairs were sticky. They offered us another room that was not different from 1st one. No internet access because the of a thunder storm that destroyed... more
