Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: many guests praise rooms as clean, but multiple mentions of dust on furniture, carpet debris, a cockroach incident and a musty smell in an annex room justify a below-average score.
Service
8.4
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful (mentions of manager Dan and Kirsten at the Tiki Bar), prompt early check-ins and professional service, supporting a strong positive score.
Location
9.5
Excellent oceanfront location cited across reviews: balcony views, beach access and proximity to the water are consistently praised.
Room Quality
7
Rooms often comfortable with good beds, big TVs and spacious layouts, but issues noted (carpet debris, flat pillows, limited kitchen supplies and awkward stove coils) pull the rating down to average.
Amenities
6.8
Mixed to negative: positive additions like the Tiki Bar and breakfast bar noted, but major complaints about pools (not heated/cold), removal of the hot tub and inconsistent pool temperatures reduce the score.
Value for Money
7.7
Generally perceived as fair value (one review explicitly cites a good price); balanced by occasional cleanliness or amenity shortcomings, so kept at the overall target.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast bar received praise, and Tiki Bar is a positive feature, but some guests felt breakfast offerings were limited and room kitchens lacked basic supplies, resulting in a slightly above-average score.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall favorable impressions: many guests call it a hidden gem or excellent stay thanks to location, staff and comfortable rooms, despite recurring amenity and minor cleanliness issues.

Not to worry will come back again hoping for nice weather and flat omelets.
Pros:

Room reflected Ocean Sands positive upgrades and improvements to their rooms over the past several years. Liked the Tiki Bar's addition of steel drums entertainment. Staff always professional and helpful including manager Dan.

Cons:

Persistent minor problem through the years is their stoves. None of the heating coils are ever connected to be flat and are angled making some food preparation awkward, e.g., eggs are consolidated to one side of pan not good for flat omelet

Pros:

Beach access was nice.

Cons:

We stayed in an annex building and our door was open when we got to our room. The room was clean but had a musty smell. It worked for our overnight stay but not fancy.
