“Great Resort for the Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 7, 2012

In spite of seeing some mixed reviews on tripadvisor, three friends and I decided that Sands Harbor Resort sounded very interesting and booked an efficiency suite for three days. We thoroughly enjoyed it! From the view, to the front desk staff, to the bar and restaurant and even the housekeeping services, we weren't disappointed.

First of all, this is an older property (but attractive) and is not full of marble and interior design touches like an upscale chain resort. It is well kept and very clean. The rooms were quite large. Our arrangement was a double room with adjoining kitchenette that had a double bed and fold out couch that was comfortable enough. Bring your hair dryer because they are not provided. Sergio, who was on duty at the front desk when we arrived, put us on the 8th floor, with fantastic views of both the ocean and intercoastal.

We had booked a holiday weekend package which included a $25 dinner voucher for two, and free welcome cocktails for everyone. The restaurant was very good and there were lots of good people-watching opportunities at the bar! They had live music on the pool deck on Saturday afternoon.

As others have mentioned, Sands Harbor is within easy walking distance of a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops. There is also a new Publix grocery store right behind it.

To summarize, if you like staying at unique properties at a very reasonable price and walking around to explore an interesting area, give Sands Harbor a try. I can't wait to go back!

Room Tip: The higher the better because of the view.

“So convenient and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 6, 2012

This is an older Hotel but the views of the ocean and the intercoastal are fantastic!.Siting at the bar on the water watching all the boats pull in for lunch was a plus.The hotel is perfect for someone not wanting a car as every thing is in walking distance including the beach,pubs a variaty of eating places and even a drug store and dollar store.Also if you need a tooth pulled a couple of dentist's are near by.!!!My wife and I have decided to stay in country and support our fello Americans and the Sands was a great choice for us this year.We will be back next year for longer.By the way the party who degraded these hard working folks by claiming bed bugs are full of it. Bob and Coolie Newburyport Ma. Thanks

Every hotel at every level has had a bed bug brought into one of their rooms at some time, but I can assure you there is not a bed bug problem at Sands Harbor. Please see the many positive reviews by others. We give you an absolute guarantee you will not have a problem and will enjoy your stay!

“Sleep, Dive, Eat, Dive and Sleep!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 19, 2011

For over ten years I have been bringing Scuba Divers here to the Sands Harbor Resort and Scuba diving with Scubatyme. The convenience of a short drive from Fort Lauderdale Airport to Sands Harbor in Pompano Beach Florida, followed by a short walk to the Scubatyme dive Charters makes this a great place to take a long weekend and do lots of diving.

This year 9 divers did 12 dives in just three days, 3 on Friday, 5 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. All of us dove with nitox and five of us did the Saturday night dive.

We eat at the hotels pool bar, "The Bearded Clam" just down the street and at Umberto's across the inter-coastal. All offered good food at reasonable prices.

This is Old Florida at its best, relaxing and fun.

We will be going back again. Thanks to Enzo and Amanda for making the diving so much fun.
Safe Diving,
Brad
