• It was located right on a beautiful beach.
• There was an extra charge for a "resort".

“The hotel was very nice, but we were given a room in an outside corner. Also, when checking in I was told there was a $25 "resort fee" above the price I had agreed on.”

• Close to beach and
  balcony.
• Had to pay $28/day resort fee for things that are free in a "real" hotel (pool, parking).

“They charge a $28/day resort fee. For this fee I could have found a way nicer hotel in this area. It's an older hotel. Nearby bar played very loud music.”

• Location.
• Extremely small room.

“My room was adjacent to the reception, could hear people checking in. The hot tub was 20ft away, constant noise from people using that up till 12.00 am.”

• Overall was OK.
• They charged extra amenity fee besides the rate I paid. So rate wasn't good deal at the end.

“Hotel was old but maintained properly. Staff was friendly. Mandatory extra amenity charge at check in was lessen the feeling of pleasant for travel.”

• Pleased overall. Disappointed with the push to purchase the package to cover parking and other costs. Pay as you go would have been more cost effective.
• Only one Tiki bar tenders was unfriendly. He wasn't social seemed quite upset but all other staff members were eager to please..

“I would return but pay for parking and extra's as you go, unless you know for sure you'll use the cabanna daily, etc. Try to go during the week it was much less crowded before the saturday check in.Felt like we had the place to ourselves!”

“We stayed there about 10 years ago and the hotel was nothing special. This stay I was pleasantly surprised. Rooms were a little small but they were decorated beautifully and very clean.”

• Great amenities at resort.
• Mandatory resort fee was unexpected.

“The Sandpiper had great amenities, particularly because its sister resort, Island Grand, was just one hotel over and guests were able to use both hotels and their amenities (pools, fitness rooms, tennis courts, etc.) as part of their stay. I'm not an experienced resort traveler so the resort amenity fee was unexpected but ended up being nice because it included several things we planned on using (internet, parking, beach loungers, etc.) for a price lower than they would have been a la cart. Hotel staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The resort was close to several area attractions and restaurants were within walking distance, but you didn't have to venture out of the resort system if you didn't want because of the food options available between the Sandpiper and its sister, the Island Grand. Food was also reasonably priced. This resort was great for myself and a friend in our 20s, but would be great for families or romantic couples as well.”

• The lobby was classy, the room was bright.
• We had a cockroach in the room.

“For a small charge, we upgraded our room so that we had an ocean view. The room was a suite and was decorated in bright, tropical colors and decor. The bathroom was segregated from all activity. There was a nice kitchenette with dishes. The staff was very friendly and helpful.”

• Location was fantastic and view from the room was beautiful.
• Room was dirty, bathroom fixtures broken, and smelled like cigarette smoke.

“My husband and I have stayed at this hotel's property four times in the last year and this was, by far, our worst experience. The balcony was dirtied with drink cups and cigarette butts (despite it being a no-smoking room) when we arrived and was never cleaned. The tub did not drain properly when we bathed. The tub faucet was coming out of the wall. It sounded like a jack hammer when we showered. Our room was across the hall from what we believed was the staff break room and smoke room. We could smell cigarette smoke in the room whether we'd opened the door or not. We were also not notified there was no continental breakfast as there'd been in the past so we were disappointed our first morning. We were also surprised by the $25 resort fee we'd never had to pay before. The front office staff was very helpful and cordial. The drinks at the bar were delicious.”

• Staff was friendly, great restaurants, great location!
• Bar next door cranked music till 2 a.m. Hard to sleep.

“Overall, this hotel is a good value. Nicer amenities and the ability to use the sister hotel were good features. Nice pools, adult pool available, beach bar was a little too busy. Coconut Comedy club on site was a blast. The only negative was the bar that was right outside our room played very loud music till 2 a.m. They need a noise ordinance in that area after midnight. We went to the bar to check it out - it was so loud that your ears hurt to sit there. Not necessary to be that loud. Not that this hotel can do anything about it.”

• Beach location.
• Very dated, small cramped rooms, exterior access to rooms.

“I have used priceline many times and this hotel did not live up to the 3 star standard I have received on others hotels. The hotel is very dated and needs to be modernized. Rooms are very small. Pools are very small. Location on the beach was good.”

• Friendliness of hotel staff, and beach location.
• Noise level from the pool at night.

“The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room had a view of the beach and included a living room, bath, kitchenette, and separate bedroom - much more than we expected.”

• On the beach, had hot tub, pretty, clean, complimentary breakfast.
• Previous guests' towels were left on windows, ill overlooking pool - guess housekeeper hadn't noticed them hanging on rail, & they fell.

“Nice, clean, pretty, good amenities. A little loud due to late-night music from nearby bar/restaurant with open-air deck.”
