I've loved staying at Desert Sand for years. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms are a huge plus, and the outdoor grill near the pool is perfect for a family dinner. However, two specific rooms had serious noise issues due to their outdated air conditioning units, which ruined the experience for us. Overall, it's a great place but watch out for those specific rooms and the inconsistent Wi-Fi.
Rooms

The rooms are generally clean and comfortable with some new updates in decor, but room 117 and room 118 are exceptionally loud due to a very noisy air conditioning unit.

I had a disappointing experience with this hotel that initially seemed promising due to its good proximity to local attractions. The room was just okay, and I felt uneasy about the entry code situation and the difficulty in communicating with staff about my concerns. Although I managed to get a refund through Expedia, the overall handling of my reservation was frustrating. It definitely wasn't the experience I hoped for based on the initial booking process.

The room was just okay, and the entry code being the room number felt unsafe, especially since the door didn't lock properly.

My stay at this resort was truly enjoyable and exceeded my expectations! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit, making the experience even better. The rooms were very cozy and clean, providing a wonderful place to unwind. One downside was that I found the kitchen utensils a bit lacking, but overall, the value for money was excellent. The pools, both indoor and outdoor, were fantastic, adding to a fun-filled family vacation. Can't wait to return!

We had a mixed experience during our stay at the Desert Sand Resort. While the hotel has a nice family-friendly ambiance and is very clean, our room left a lot to be desired. The front desk staff showed great attitude, but we encountered issues with our room and hope for better service next time. Overall, it was a decent trip, but improvements could be made, especially regarding room conditions.

Unfortunately, our room felt bland and did not match the vibe of the newer rooms we saw online. While it was very clean, it was quite plain and had some odd features like a high bathroom threshold and a low toilet.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. While the location is fantastic with easy access to the beach and the ambiance is generally welcoming, my room left much to be desired due to the noise from the air conditioner. The staff were attentive and helpful throughout my stay, which was a major plus. However, the Wi-Fi connectivity was poor, making it hard to stay connected when I needed it most.
