Family Trip
Hotel is perfectly placed for the beach and exploring. Dinner in the restaurant was great and breakfast was brilliant with lots of variety. Staff were really helpful. Family room was really spacious and a comfortable quiet sleep. Beautiful hotel, however if you look too close, you'll see some parts could really do with a little bit of tlc. Overall a fabulous hotel.

The staff are very pleasant, the lobby and restaurant are nice, however once you get to your room it’s clear the property needs some deep cleaning and/or renovation. All in all not bad, just a bit steep in price for the quality of the room.

Really nice hotel.
We had a lovely stay at the ocean sands hotel. We're a family of five and the kids really enjoy they're stay, we only stayed one night but would of loved to stay longer. Location is gorgeous, hotel is right next to the beach so excellent for little ones. Had dinner in the restaurant which was stunning, prices were great for the quality of food we were served. My only negative is that our room was fairly cold when we arrived but it warmed up quick enough once we put on the heaters. Lovely hotel staff in all areas. Id definitely recommend a stay here.

Great Dog Friendly Hotel
We chose this hotel as we could bring out 2 dogs. The hotel is very dog friendly with areas that you can eat and socialise with your dog as well as great dog friendly rooms. Our room had lots of space and was very comfortable for us all. Perfect position right in the town but also a right by the beach. Parking was very easy, the buffet breakfast was lovely with plenty of choices and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We will certainly consider staying here again.

This was a very good option for us and fulfilled our purpose very well. Unfortunately we had noisy guests in the bedroom next door who disturbed us in the early hours with their inconsiderate behaviour.

Hotel good and staff very efficient and welcoming. Room fairly standard. Iron iron board hairdryer etc but no shaver/makeup mirror. Towels replaced but empty water bottles not removed or bed made. Window blind damaged did not use in case further damaged. Evening meal excellent. Breakfast also very good but tea/coffee and plate clearance could be quicker. Overall a good experience
