I love this hotel. The only thing I would change is…. the non-stop music that plays over the speaker outside! You can’t enjoy a nice evening or a quiet morning on the beach due to the loud non-stop music! Don’t get me wrong I love music, but it’s just constant and a bit much!

Employees made my stay. Everyone was helpful and quickly to accommodate our needs. One small issue and it was taking care of quickly. Only complaint I had was some of the visitors were letting their dogs potty in the grass at the Bay Area and not clean it.

Great place to stay and family friendly but air conditioner was extremely loud. There was very little water pressure in the sink and the toilet was slow to flush. The staff were extremely accommodating

Decent

The stairs need some paintwork as well as some other places. Breakfast was decent but starts later at 7:30am. It was a mad rush of people. Smaller pool but was good for the price during summer season.

Surf and Sand Hotel is a no frills, practical hotel that is a great value. However, what it lacks in amenities and elegance, it more than makes up for with the friendliness of their staff. The groundskeepers, front desk, housekeepers, breakfast attendant.....everyone was amazing!

It was convenient and we loved the pool, Bay Area behind to relax. Free bikes, canoes and paddle boarding was exceptional Great environment and close to everything! The only thing I wasn’t pleased with was that it was not as clean as I would liked it to be but, I bring my own cleaning supplies. Great stay!

Affordable and Comfortable Stay near the beach

Great place to rest you head and get breakfast. The staff is amazing. Very cozy small private beach on the bay. Fire pit and pool near the private beach, pet friendly. The main beach is right across the street. Plenty of places within walking distance. Breakfast was good. This is not a fancy hotel, but it is clean and in an excellent location. We will definitely come back!

Staff was really nice especially the lady who serves complementary breakfast in the morning made me feel lat home! Great place for kids and right across the way from the pier and amazing beachside bar! For the price point you could get something just a bit more fancy nearby but otherwise we had a great and memorable stay!

When we arrived to our room, the first thing we noticed was the door was open. We thought someone was in there and then we realized the tv and other things were missing from this room. I had to go downstairs a few times to get towels, toilet paper and get someone to get us a tv. They could not give us another room because there was none available. We didn’t get much sleep that night and had to put something in the way of the door.
