The staff are very pleasant, the lobby and restaurant are nice, however once you get to your room it’s clear the property needs some deep cleaning and/or renovation. All in all not bad, just a bit steep in price for the quality of the room.

Family Trip

Hotel is perfectly placed for the beach and exploring. Dinner in the restaurant was great and breakfast was brilliant with lots of variety. Staff were really helpful. Family room was really spacious and a comfortable quiet sleep. Beautiful hotel, however if you look too close, you'll see some parts could really do with a little bit of tlc. Overall a fabulous hotel.

When we arrived, the heat wasn’t working in the room and no one knew how to run it. We figured it out but then periodically it didn’t work. Bathroom was not the cleanest. Had to ask them to clean the room - the day they did clean it, all they did was pull the comforter up (crookedly) and leave some towels. They didn’t clean our glasses or coffee cups or leave more coffee. Wouldn't stay there again.

Really nice hotel.

We had a lovely stay at the ocean sands hotel. We're a family of five and the kids really enjoy they're stay, we only stayed one night but would of loved to stay longer. Location is gorgeous, hotel is right next to the beach so excellent for little ones. Had dinner in the restaurant which was stunning, prices were great for the quality of food we were served. My only negative is that our room was fairly cold when we arrived but it warmed up quick enough once we put on the heaters. Lovely hotel staff in all areas. Id definitely recommend a stay here.

Hotel good and staff very efficient and welcoming. Room fairly standard. Iron iron board hairdryer etc but no shaver/makeup mirror. Towels replaced but empty water bottles not removed or bed made. Window blind damaged did not use in case further damaged. Evening meal excellent. Breakfast also very good but tea/coffee and plate clearance could be quicker. Overall a good experience
