My daughter had a rugby tournament at the fields two blocks away. This property was perfect for our needs and beaching it. We also enjoyed the nearby Icona dining options within walking distance. Sunsets on the bay side were beautiful. The pool was clean and a great temperature.

Clean, comfortable, and a perfect place to stay if you’re visiting for a few days. The room came with a kitchenette and a sitting area. Sadly, we were only there for one night. The bed was so comfortable I fell asleep immediately. Lovely stay.

Very nice Hotel and Great Location

The Desert Sands is very nice. This is not our first time, and we enjoyed every time we stayed there. The location and facilities are excellent. We especially noticed that he staff was very courteous and supportive. We did have an issue with a partially clogged shower drain in a bathroom. When we discussed it with the staff, they were very understanding and supportive. Good place. We will stay again.

8/10 Very good

The proximity to the beach was a plus. Clean and well appointed. Indoor and outdoor pools were nice. With the nightly pricing being quite high, so were my expectations, which were pretty well met.
