Best Western Ocean Sands Resort

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 19 Feb 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was a 2.5 star hotel for the room, but the breakfast was not excellent and the pool was very small and not what I would expect from a 2.5 star hotel on the beach. The staff was friendly and overall a good experience, I would just be upset if I was there during the summer and had to use that pool.

Positives: The comfort of the room.

Negatives: The pool was small and not what I expected, lazy river was very small and pool closed without warning.

We would go back in a heart beat!

Positives: The ocean, the staff, the breakfast, and the balcony.

Negatives: Need more parking.

The hotel was located directly on the ocean, and the room had a wonderful view of the ocean.

Positives: This hotel was right on the ocean and had a wonderful view.

Negatives: The hotel was boxy, not enough room in the elevator hall to get to your room.

Awful experience - The price we paid was too high for the quality of the hotel. The room smelled bad and the air conditioning could not cool the small room; it worked all night long and the room was still hot.

Positives: Close to the beach.

Negatives: Everything, except that it is close to the beach.

The atmosphere was great! Beach front with small children is awesome. The price was apparently the best. The only problems I had was that the annex (the part 3 buildings down) that we stayed in had no safe walkway to get to the main hotel which was where breakfast and the pools were. I joked to the clerk that I felt like the ugly stepsister being 4 doors down.

Positives: The staff and the pool. The pillows.

Negatives: There was not a safe walkway from the annex to the main hotel where the pool and food was.

Just came back from staying here and it was PERFECT! The room was very clean, perfect location, and the staff was INCREDIBLE! They gave us great suggestions for dining and directions on how to get there. It was always friendly and helpful. The Tiki bar is GREAT. The cook does an EXCEPTIONAL job and she remembers what you like. I really can't say enough about how wonderful this hotel is and how great the staff treats you. It made my first trip to the ocean very special and memorable. I will definitely go back and definitely stay at this hotel over and over again. Staff was WONDERFUL! Thank you for the perfect vacation!

Positives: It was clean & friendly; location was great, just perfect.

Negatives: Theres nothing negative about it.

There was no available onsite parking, and room changes could not be accommodated. It was not a family hotel. The bathroom sink was very small so when my 4 year old washed his hands water got all over the floor. The room was so small that when you sat at the table to eat, you had to move so that someone could enter the front door. In addition, the entry to the beach had not been maintained it was overrun with grass and bushes. I would not recommend this hotel.
<BR/>

Positives: The bed was comfortable.

Negatives: Horrible parking, no cell phone reception in room, dirty/damaged carpet, small sink.

Nice moderately priced place on a quiet section of the beach. Nice Continental breakfast and pool. It has nice view and is only three stories, so is great for those who like to avoid elevators.

Positives: Convenient location, great view, moderately priced.

Negatives: Parking situation is a little awkward.

Upon checkin, there was no shower curtain. Called front desk, they brought up a sheet for us to put up. Room was just okay. The beach was undergoing refurbishing, so there were times that we were asked to leave beach for construction workers. Breakfast was complimentary, but toaster did not work.

Positives: Ocean front.

Negatives: Construction work on beach and hotel quality poor.

Good room, great price, much larger than I expected with a great view of the ocean. I was on business and only staying for 1 night so the extras like the full kitchen where of no real use to me. It was a decent room, nothing fancy, but I would definitely stay here again.

Positives: Great view.

Negatives: Parking was minimal.
