From the moment we arrived, I knew this would be the perfect little getaway I'd been planning on for a while. The service was great the whole time we were there. The location is right in the middle of this charming little beach town, and sound of the ocean at night put me to sleep each night. The room service... More

I took my husband here for a weekend. I have stayed there many times, and this was his first. I tried to explain that the rooms are right on the beach, not like many hotels, where there is a view. Our surfside room was clean and comfortable. The hotel has nice Philosophy products. The towels are pretty thin, however. The... More

We absolutely loved the Surf and Sand Resort!!! The accomodations were wonderful. The room stayed clean all the time no matter how messy we were. The food was great. The beach and view are spectacular. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accomodating. I will definitely return and I highly recommend this resort. More

This delightfully crisp hotel is perched so close to the pounding surf that you wonder if the spray will get the TV wet. Concierge Ally was superb at pointing out some great restaurants. Chairs, towels and umbrella's are brought to you whenever you choose. Dolphins swim along the surf line. Seriously, was it a dream? Nope, Surf and Sand resort. More

My friends and I love it here! I can honestly say it was the best brunch we've had in a long time! We are from Miami and were there on a work/vacation trip. We loved eating here every chance we got. The people that work here were great; they were always friendly and very helpful, especially our server Keith! He's... More

I feel this review is necessary for future guests. Unfortunately, my review would have been complete perfection had it not been for "the incident" as the Hotel manager referred to our cockroach infestation . I awoke on our second evening to find FOUR ENORMOUS cockroaches in the bathroom. I called the front desk and the told me that an exterminator... More

Dear Valued Guest, I am very disappointed to hear about your experience during your stay here at Surf & Sand Resort. As we take great pride in having a prestine property with regularly scheduled maintenance, I can assure you this is an isolated occurrence, which is unacceptable. We would love another opportunity for you to be our guest and will... More

My friends and family love it there! Best brunch with a view is at Splashes! We love eating here, the people that work here are great; they are always friendly and very helpful! Weekends here are the best to just relax and enjoy eating a delicious breakfast or lunch while enjoying the picturesque views of the beach. Let's not forget... More
