Reviewer: A TripAdvisor Regular, Montreal, Canada
We have just returned from a week at the Sandpiper Beach Resort. I was not too sure of what to expect, given the mixed reviews on this hotel. I was not disappointed!!! The hotel is very well located and our beach view was perfect. We were lucky to get the fourth-floor 2-room 1-bathroom unit with cathedral ceiling. Our balconies (one facing the beach and the other the parking) were very private and we had our own key to the beach facing balcony leading to our unit. It was very safe to leave our belongings at the door. The unit was spacious; however there was not a lot of room for clothes and luggage. We had to share shelves in our sons' bedroom. The bathroom was OK, but there was no shelves for personal products. Although the kitchen was nice, the lunch counter was not convenient for family meals. It would be nice to add a small table. We ate on the couch... (not allowed at home!). The hotel is very generous with towels (maybe too generous on a environmental perspective).
Don't forget to bring your laundry detergent and make sure that the maid leaves you diswasher detergent.
On one day, they "forgot" to do our room, as we asked them to come later when they knocked at the door at 9. I did not mind.
The beach service was the ultimate. The service was great and we could ask for all the umbrellas and chairs we wanted. Our sons (10 and 13) really appreciated the beach menu. It is great not to have to carry all the towels and beach chairs in the morning.
The gym is very well equipped. The pool is OK, but we did not come for that.
We loved our stay. If you love good food, we would recommend Moonfish Grill and the Blue Pig Tavern. Also, don't miss the Silver Bullet Dolphin Watching Cruise (if you like to get wet)! The boys loved it.
