We have stayed at the Sands 5 times in the last 3 years everytime being a 3-4 night stay. We love this property, it’s very clean , relaxing. The staff are attentive and always are nice. They have a beautiful restaurant on property the pink cabana that you can also use for poolside drinks. We checked in per usual actually pretty late for us about 8:30 pm after a long drive. Tired and just trying to get in our room , mind you we just stayed at Sands in june less then 2 months ago. We get to the paper signing like normal “ initial here , sign here” the front desk person says. Without even questioning or knowing because we just stayed here We sign. They give us a parking pass which was weird because we never got one of those before. So we get to our room maybe a few hours later I check my bank account to make sure everything had went through from the room payment. I see I got over charged. I text the front desk , call Expedia , they get it taken care of for me and reassure that I will be getting my funds back for the over charge. No problem. So I thought. Sands will say it’s not an over charge because it’s a new “ resort , WiFi , parking daily fee” now but they should really tell their guests and not expect people just to sign something. I’m always told everywhere I stay. Also for 3rd party bookings they need to be included in price like it states at checkout . $423.00 turned into $517.00 for a two night stay. Just be aware that these feel like hidden fees and be prepared.

Hotel Sands was a very cute hotel! Upon arrival they have music playing and it was definitely a vibe. I told the front desk we were VIP Gold and we didn’t get the free bottle of wine or a room upgrade. Which was definitely available it was 109 degrees and many open rooms I’m pretty sure we got one of only a few rooms without a balcony or patio which was a total bummer as we saw the other rooms weren’t occupied. The reason we chose this hotel was because of the VIP perks that were listed. Other than that our room was also cute and has music playing as we walked in. It had the best mini bar but definitely had the $$ to go with it. Coffee was available in the morning by the pool which was nice and I didn’t know until we left that there l were a few grab and go breakfast snacks in the lobby. The hotel was clean and beautiful with lots of parking!

We didn’t use any of the amenities but were charged for them. Also, there is no place to eat food bought from off premises. The staff is wonderful!
