After I booked, I read some reviews that had me second guessing my decision. I am happy we decided to go for it. Our condo was beach front and very clean. Yeah there is rust on appliances and such, but it's on the beach. It's what salt water condensation does! The owners can't be expected to change stuff out just because there is some rust. Especially if the appliance is still working just fine! The view was stunning, and everything met our expectations. We stayed in condo 124, and were very happy!

The resort in general seemed decently clean…well, honestly it was not. Our room on the other hand was definitely NOT clean. We left it much cleaner than it was when we arrived. With that being said, I think these units are individually owned, so each owner my have a different standard of cleanliness.

I cannot imagine a building charging what they did being in worse condition. Even the windows in the hallway looked like they haven’t been cleaned in years. Huge disappointment on all fronts with the exception of location. Room was never cleaned in over a week but at least they did deliver towels after 4 days. The one positive…At least you could have options to go somewhere without a lot of effort.

Below average
There were empty pringals cans, caprisun, and food wrappers left in the room, a dirty spoon left in the sink. When mentioned to staff, I was told if you ever decide to give us another try let me know at check in and I will take care of you, but no notes were placed in the system or anything. It was an inconvenience for her to hear my issue. The room was a 2 bedroom condo with a parking garage, and the parking garage on level 4 has holes in the floor near a joint in the floor that allows you to see to the level below. There is an adult sandals bar right beside the front door so if you are there with kids like us just a warning. There were drunk people all over the lobby at checkin. The room did show 3 twin beds but there were 2, which wasn't a big deal for us. Overall won't stay there again but it was doable for 1 night for us.

Disappointing
The hotel had a hard time finding our reservation. We had a special request to be on the higher floor. But at check in, we were moved from the sister property where we originally reserved to accommodate us since they found the reservation at the last minute from check in. The check in rep - Ashley (I think that was her name) was very rude and bluntly told me I can get a refund since I wasn’t happy at check in. She didn’t even try to help accommodate find a better room for me saying they were full. I didn’t drive 6 hours to deal with that rude attitude. Not sure how she even has a job to deal with customers. Definitely not the type of person to be dealing with customer. I asked for a supervisor and Logan tried to help. The room were stuck with was outdated, had broken furniture, had a dirty microwave, had no plates or pans in the 2 bedroom suite with full kitchen. We waited 4 hours to get plates to our room. We had to go out and eat. The dining table chairs were ripped and there was mold all around the walls. The suite itself is roomy, but it’s very outdated.

Beach trip
The property was old. We had a bit of difficulties with the condo during our stay. The front door was difficult to get to shut properly. You had to shut it at least twice to get it to latch. The TVs had difficulties you had to power off the cable box each day if you actually wanted to have sound. The dishwasher made loud noises when it was running. The sliding glass door did not lock from the living room, you needed to use a stick and run the risk of locking yourself on the balcony. The furniture was old and stained. The fitness center did not open until 8am, that is well past the time I like to workout. We would not stay at this location again.

Unfortunately, the sign in details were not clear. We arrived at Sands Beach Club on Thursday only to find out that no one was on duty to check us in. After calling there after hours telephone number, then calling hotels.com did we learn that we must check in with Sands Ocean Club down the street. The television in one of the bedrooms did not work and there was no linen for the sleeper sofa; we had to take linen from the twin beds and put on the sleeper for our granddaughters. The condo needs updating, but the beach and weather was excellent.

This place was a really fun stay.
Checking in was a pain as we had to check in in a building that was about an eighth of a mile away and we had to call from the lobby of the building we stayed in to ask where to check in. After we'd already unloaded all our stuff. One building was fenced off for some kind of upcoming construction so driving in was also a little confusing.
Other than that this place was fantastic. We had a unit overlooking the beach which was beautiful. The buiding had a bar and restaurant with really good food and drinks. So good we ate dinner there both nights and Keith our bartender, can't say enough good things about him.
We really enjoyed our time here and are already planning a return trip next year.

HORRIBLE!!
We arrived with our email confirmation and was told we did not have a reservation. The guy at check-in said it would be at least 10 minutes while he figured things out. Ended up taking 30 minutes to get checked in. Was told we were given an upgrade for the troubles. By the time we parked and got to our room we were in a one bedroom instead of a 2 bedroom we had reserved online. Mind you this was almost an hour after our arrival due to problems at checkin, no direction as were to park and not telling us our room was in the building next door. The paper we signed said $145 per night but we were charged $200 through hotels.com

First we received a room the holes in walls and couch’s torn and the whole place smelled. This was on floor 4 but no way could we stay there - I was afraid to sit down, seriously. The worst place I have ever seen.
So I went down to the hotel and they put me in a first floor room right next to beach ram ( right in front of balcony. Things were incredibly loud right there until midnight! This room seemed to be cleaner although when you can’t sleep because of noise it becomes a huge issue. I would like a partial refund!

Nice but read fine print and needs new mattresses
Condo was clean. Kitchen and one room was updated. Room with twin beds could use updated beds and bedding. Beds weren’t too comfortable. Couch bed needs a new mattress. Paper towels aren’t supplied at all.
I had to ask for dish soap to clean dishes... which meant I had go to back to the office which isn’t on site.
That’s one of the things I most disliked. It would have been nice to have the office on site.
But overall the stay was nice. Balcony was a good size, and overlooked the ocean.
The room was clean.
The beach wasn’t too busy and clean.
Pool and hot tub were nice.

Great view but room questionable
The first room 827 was privately owned and looked like it wa out of the 80’s. Dirty carpet, wallpaper coming off walls, furniture fabric dirty.
I requested another room. Was given another room to look at that was not ocean front 205.
It was very good and updated but not ocean view. So third room on 5th floor ocean front, privately owned was in much better condition. The other big problem is you can’t check in and get your keys at this resort. You have to down the street at the other resort they owned to get checked in. So I made 3 trips back and forth for an hour to get on room that I was happy with. However, the front desk was very kind and helpful.

Kids liked the indoor pool and very close to Apache Pier for fishing. My only disappointment was when I booked the suite through AARP/Expedia, it was supposed to accommodate 7 people ( actually said up to 8 people.) There was only sleeping accommodations for 6 people which put one of the kids on the floor. They was no option for a roll in bed or cot.

The second room had a strong raw seafood smell that we never could get rid of. The towel racks were loose and could not support the towels. We returned to the room after a day on the beach to find the floor flooded with water. We were told by maintenance that the hot water heater above us had a line break that came through our ceiling. Service was good and half of the money refunded. I'm satisfied with that but will never stay there again.

It was a nice very roomy unit.
Our experience was somewhat of a challenge. We had to go to a different hotel to check in because our hotel Sands Beach Club is under renovations. We didn't realize this until we parked and asked someone at our hotel where to check in. So we got back in the car and drove a few doors down to the other hotel to get the room keys.
We proceed to unload the vehicle and bring all the luggage up to the room, open the door and find other people are in the room. Not a good experience.
So we take everything back to the car and reload and drive back to the other hotel. Clearly the other people had called the front desk as they were waiting for us to return. Ok, so we get another room key; drive back to our hotel; unload again and then we finally get into our room.
At this point we were just glad to have a room. We liked the room; but I believe the staff may need some additional training.

Stayed at this hotel last year. Came back this year. They are currently doing construction on the building. Was down in MB for golf so it wasn't a problem. If you are staying there all day it might be distracting. Overall you can't beat the price to be on the beach. It isn't a Westin, but you ain't paying Westin prices. Perfect was 4 guys playing golf all day and coming back to place to relax and watch the beach from the balcony.

Disappointed
First I'd like to say that I've stayed at this resort several times and have enjoyed my stay. However my most recent experience started out horrible. I booked with Sands Beach Club, instead of sands ocean club due to lack of availability according to hotels.com . After approaching the front desk I learned that the room I booked and reserved was not available. The front desk clerk Logan stated that he would be willing to accommodate me at the sister Hotel Sands ocean club of the website allowed me. Needless to say my son, fiance, and I spent 2 hours downstairs waiting on this issue to resolve. I'm not sure who was at fault, but I felt humiliated and cheated. We traveled to South Carolina for a family weekend, lost a day and it made Saturday a day full of cramming in things. This was my worst hotel check in experience ever. The front desk manager Tiffany, saved the day! If she didn't step in when she did...we would have been returning home. Hotels.com needs to better communicate with hotels so this doesn't happen again in the future.

Not for the obsessive compulsive person
Upon arrival at the Sands resort, we were notified that our room would not be ready for check in until "closer to 4." So, we were invited to enjoy the sand, pool and ocean until that time. We did so. At about 3:45pm we returned to see if we could check in. No luck. Room was still not ready. I asked "but it will be ready by 4, right?" and was greeted only with a smile. At 4, when I approached the check in desk, I was informed that they were going to just change my room assignment to one similar because the room was still not ready. I agreed. I was given a set of electronic keys. My family went to our room, but were unable to get into the room. The keys would not work. We drove back to desk and did so back and forth 3 times before we got a set of keys that worked. Finally, we were able to get in our room, only to find THIS room was also not cleaned. After over an HOUR of trying, when we finally gained access to our room, it was dirty! Finally, the manager helped and we were able to get a room, but the check in process was terrible.

Our Stay at Sands Beach Club Resort
Overall it was ok we look forward to staying there again. We only received housekeeping one day after that no one came by we gad to take our own trash out and clean our own bathrooms. We had no stay over service as we were supposed to but we made the best of it anyway. We look forward to re-booking it for next year. Thanks for all your help.

Great location
We visited during Memorial Day weekend. The location is on a quiet street, but is close enough to all the attractions. The room was great for my needs. My only complaint is that the check in is at a separate location. There is also no check out policies, which I thought was odd. I called the number I was given and was told I could leave the keys in the room when I was ready to go. Also odd, I thought.

Hotel on the beach
The hotel was under construction in some areas which made me feel a bit distracted. It seems they should have had this done prior to busy season.The hotel did not have my registration on file which aggravated me since we drove 6 hours to get there. We had to wait for about 15 mins after check in for them to retrieve it. I have to admit I was expecting more. The staff was really nice and very accommodating which was nice. If you are looking for an average hotel experience this is it.

No light bulb
There was no working light in one of our rooms. I asked for them to replace and they didn't. We stayed for two days and my kids had to be in a room with no light. The staff made sure they let us know they had a problem with the golf cart we rented being there but couldn't even bring a light bulb then. And the sofa sleeper had no sheet. Only thing I like was the location but I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Nice sandy beach
We asked for two rooms with queen beds in each, we got two rooms with one queen and two twin beds. 3 out of the four lights in the bathroom were burnt out and we had to put new ones in. Rooms had pealing paint missing a towel bar and the kitchen was not equipped at all ( not even a coffee maker).

Disgusting
I am in the military and have had to stay in some pretty shabby places worldwide; however, when it comes to my family, this place was unacceptable! The greasy carpet we were able to ignore, but the amount of black mold forming on the ceiling and wallpaper was too much to turn a blind-eye to. It takes a certain level of disregard for the customer and carelessness to allow that amount of black mold!!! If it wasnt for its location on the beach this trip would have been miserable! So...long story short, the ONLY good thing about our stay was the beach and attractions.

Not very impressive
We were very disappointed with the level of customer service we received during our stay in your facility. The front desk person seemed very young in a knowledgeable. The person we were referred to to explain the welcome package to was absolutely rude and unconcerned when she discovered we were there for one night. As soon as we indicated we be there for one night she picked up her cell phone and immediately started speaking to someone on the cell phone and ignoring us completely. We request the towels and the person who brought them up was darn right nasty. Based on this level of the lack an extremely poor customer service we will not be frequenting this resort ever again. Also the furnitshings were old and outdated.

Sands Resorts ... and Timeshare
The Sands Beach Club is comprised of two buildings. They have "hotel condos" timeshares and private owners. Having all these management companies was an issue for getting things done as well as amenities. Having said that, it is a nice location! Secluded and the room was nice. We had a two BR and 2 BA with a full kitchen and beautiful ocean view. There are two small pools (one is both indoor and outdoor), they were chilly even in July. There is a basketball court and tennis court, but we never found out how to get a ball or racquet's. There is a fitness room but we didn't check it out. The beach was fantastic, clean and spacious. Be aware that the front view is lined with umbrellas and chairs that you have to rent from the lifeguard or you sit behind them. You can move in front without an umbrella though. Also, no plastic floats are allowed in the ocean. The only bad thing about this resort is that people smoke every where! At the pools, the beach, the bar/restaurant, etc. Other than that you are good to go. We plan to go back next year!

Not bad, but not great
The room was OK, but in need of some minor cosmetic repairs. The beds desperately need to be replaced! They were stained, lumpy, and very squeaky. The view of the ocean was great from the patio.
Be aware, the photos on Expedia are misleading. Many of the activities pictured are available, and some are even free, but are either at other hotels (like the lazy river) or are completely off-premise. While it's nice to have a healthy selection of complimentary activities available, we had no interest in any of them and would have preferred a reduced price instead.
