Great Location in Avalon
Needed a place to stay in Avalon for a family wedding. Desert Sands was conveniently located within walking distance of the event. It would be even nicer had the on-site restaurant was operational. Also the signage to the check-in location could have been clearer... no big deal, just a suggestion.

8/10 Very good

Efficient and clean
Exactly what you need, no frills, non aesthetic, the pool area was nice but there’s hardly anywhere to lounge in the immediate area if there are more than six people there. Nice large suite, however there was so much space in the living room area you’d think they put homier furniture in there, the couch was really uncomfortable and noisy to sit on. It’s absolutely not a reasonable piece of furniture to have in this space. The beds however were really comfortable and I slept great. Every staff person I encountered was extremely friendly and kind.

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.
