We've been coming to this hotel for family vacations for years, and it never lets us down. The rooms are well-equipped and clean, making our stays comfortable and enjoyable. The indoor pool was a hit with the kids, especially when the weather got chilly. However, it would be nice to have more dining options nearby, as the variety was somewhat limited. Overall, it’s great value for a family-friendly getaway near the beach.

I had a great family vacation at this hotel, with comfortable and clean rooms and friendly staff making our stay enjoyable. The indoor and outdoor pools were a wonderful addition for relaxation, and the beach was just a short walk away. However, my experience was marred by a confusing reservation update that led to some unnecessary stress, but ultimately, the hotel offered a satisfactory stay.

We had an amazing weekend at the resort! The rooms were spotless and the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs, which made cooking easy. The indoor pool was a big hit with the kids, especially since it was chilly outside. However, there were some issues with noise from certain rooms due to loud air conditioning units that made it hard to sleep. Overall, it’s a great place, but be careful about room selection.

I had a lovely time staying at Desert Sand! The hotel is exceptionally clean, with a friendly staff that made me feel welcome. The proximity to the beach is fantastic, and I enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools. However, some communication regarding my reservation could have been better, and wifi is not included in the rate, which was a bit of a letdown.
