Beach view was great. Been staying there since 2019, except for 2020. Was going down last year but even m ore this year. Tile floors were chipped or cracked, had to run hot water 30-45 sec for it to get warm in all faucets and shower, shower water fluctuated during the shower from comfortable to cold to hot. Veneer on dining room chairs war peeling It really need updating. I will be finding a new place next year. It's a shame because it's at a great location on the oceanfront.

The ocean view was spectacular! But the room.could certain be cleaner especially the floors. The toilet was small and very low, resembling a toilet more for children. The shower head could use more pressure.

Ocean Sands is my favorite place to relax and enjoy family time. The room was spotless, spacious and quiet. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed the dolphins playing in the ocean. The Neptune Festival was amazing with SEVERAL vendors with excellent deals. All of the staff were pleasant and very helpful. See you at Thanksgiving!

Ocean Sands is centrally located to almost everything since it's on 22nd Street. I have stayed in this resort many times in the past and was pleased. However, the rooms have now been renovated since I was last there and the room was very inefficient... In the bathroom, there is no counter space to place a makeup/cosmetic bag or man's shaving kit bag. There are no longer any cabinets underneath the sink to place anything. There are wall light fixtures in the sitting room that are on the wall on either side of the TV at the ceiling level. Those are the only light fixtures that have USB ports, very inefficient, no where to charge phones, iPads, etc. unless you bring your own USB ports. No end tables on either side of the one sofa in the room. Place your drinks, phones, E-readers, etc. on the floor.

Why are there so few plugs in 2025? I had to pull out furniture to have my phone (also my alarm) charge in the bedroom. The WiFi was super shaky (off and on the whole time). Front desk didn’t answer when I called. Staff wasn’t terribly friendly. I thought the place was fairly clean, until I moved furniture looking for a plug.

The location right on the Ocean was Great, but the carpet was very dirty, there was a stain on the couch, there were little nets in the room(most likely the drains), the gym had a spray bottle and rags to wipe down the equipment before and after use.

Needs work,but good location.

The hotel is very dated. Our room was not very clean. We also had issues with the balcony door lock and the toilet wasnt working properly. Bathroom sink was slow. There was no soap in the shower either. We notified the front desk. Soap was fixed. They said they fixed the toilet, but it still wasnt working. Told us the lock for the balcony was just the latch..even though there are directions on the door. Location is good. Beach access is also good.

We have stayed at other hotels on different beaches, most people say it’s outdated but compared to others I would say it’s about the same. The room was clean the bed was comfortable and the location was next to where they do free concerts. There was street preformers, a small grocery store across the street and the staff was very friendly. Not a 5 star but we didn’t expect it to be. Staying there again I would say absolutely.

There was trash next to the trashcan in the bathroom on arrival. The bathroom didn't scream clean, the hotel in general felt more Super 8 then beach resort. Did see a cockroach in the hall as we were going to the elevator to get to our car after checking out. Staff were decent, they did try to push some time share meeting junk on us, which is weird. Also they seem to have some weird obsession with mirrors, there was an almost full wall mirror in the main room and the bathroom had 3 different mirrors in it. One was above the toilet, waist height to ceiling. Also lighting in the room was mid. There was 2 light switches that did apperently nothing. Lastly the power outlet placement in the bedroom was terrible, on one side of the bed you had to move the nightstand to plug in a charger cause the outlet was near the floor. Even Super 8 can afford plugs on top of the nightstands. I shouldn't have to bring my own power strip to put my phone on the nightstand. Not worth the price at all,
