Will never go back.

The listing advertised to be family friendly as well as our room having ocean views. we were facing the parking garage which echoed every sound the drunken bar patrons made until after 2am. Sands Ocean Hotel declined to correct the room situation stating hotels.com was at fault. The room did not appear to have been cleaned recently. The bedsheets in 2nd bedroom were obviously dirty. And the structure itself is very dated and poorly maintained. The hotel has indoor and outdoor pools of which we were unable to use. They were filled w drunken men and women. At one point during a rainy day we tried to take our 4 yr old granddaughter to swim in the indoor pool to find dozens of adults in the pool participating in adult activities. Don’t get me wrong people should be able to drink and enjoy their vacations. But the property should not be promoted as family friendly. This was strictly a party place fpr golfers and senior citizen. This was definitely not the vacation we wanted for our family.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were polite and eager to help. The beach was maybe a 100ft walk from the property, with fences connecting the back “porch”/bar area. It was overall clea. It was a pleasant stay and I would stay here again. Cons: the room was hot, like the a/c unit was working overtime almost. The room did not have many outlets for plug ins.

even though they have a parking garage, you could never find a space below the 3rd level, The first & second level were always full. When your room is on the 16th floor of the hotel / condos... it makes it a bit unhandy.And the view from the 16th floor of a U shaped building was limited when the room is back in the pocket of the U. The room was a bit dated. and the fridge looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. some of the front desk staff were not very friendly or helpful
