This was our 2nd time staying here. We liked it so much after the first time last summer for a weekend that we actually decided to stay a week this time. The rooms are clean and the ocean views were beautiful. Also the pool was heated and clean.

This hotel is a great spot for people on a budget who want to stay on the beach. It had a great view. I don’t recommend this hotel for anyone who expects a fancy room.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice our room/suite was at Sugar Sands. We had a first floor room so we could simply walk out to the beach. The pool and kids play area was very clean. It was quiet, clean and we slept great! We plan to return and stay longer next time!

Beautiful rooms on the beach front. The rooms of appeared clean, however we saw about 50 or 60 roaches in our room during our stay. Yeah where did the housekeeping manager and she said she could send someone over the next day to spray for roaches. No one ever came.. overall the staff was very nice but hard to be a truly enjoyable stay while sharing a room with that many roaches, that we could see. The old saying goes if you see one roach there are thousands!

Horrible! Complete waste of money! Upon arrival a wet dirty towel was left hanging on back of bathroom door. NO toilet paper in room, and told had to come get from front desk! Half drank coke bottle was left under bed spilled all over the floor! Bed sheets were wet! Was told ONLY allowed 2 towels for room, and had to bring used towesl and exchange for clean ones! Only positive of the entire place/stay is the location!!! Front desk worker used excuse as “spring break ppl”, which is no excuse to arrive to a disgusting room that paying for!
