First time here and loved it. We did not realize it was senior week and there was alot of teens and drinking going on (avoid this week). The hotel provides alot to do. I will say the one thing we did not like was when movie night came, people saved their seats and peole who came in before the movie... More

Great location, friendly check in staff. Plenty to do in the resort & surrounding area. Resort directly on the beach, pool large with lots of kids stuff. Tiki Bar. Only problem was that the beds are covered with some type of heavy plastic sheeting under the sheets & they make you very hot, also they make a lot of noise... More

Stayed at Sandpiper Resort and still a great location for the event that I attend here (Thunder Beach). So some of the complaints, loud noise, profanity, etc is pretty much evident throughout the beach. Rooms continue to be an improvement from a few years back and I experienced none of the check-in issues that seem to plague some travelers. Couple... More

I called today to inquire about reservations. I was immediately presumed to be under the age of 25. Once she found out I was 29, she asked how many people. I said 2. She proceeded to ask the age of the second person.Apparently there is a deposit required.She proceeded to ask if we were an "actual married couple or not."... More

Location was wonderful. Rooms were very small and dated. Bathtub didn't drain. Took two days for maintenance to fix. Toilet kept backing up. Not a great place to stay. The property was nice. The bar staff was friendly. Activities were always on going. Pools were nicely kept. More

We stayed at the Sandpiper on May 4th & 5th during Thunder Beach. We had an awesome time. The room was super clean and very spacious. All of the staff that we met were very nice and treated us like we were a part of their family. They had bands during the day and at night in the Tiki Bar... More

Rooms were small and smelled horrible. Arrived at the "resort" to only realize that the prices were different from when I spoke with a rep. Sandpiper is a RIP-OFF. I did NOT get my money's worth staying here. More

Let me start off by saying there was an issue with making the reservation. You can't make a reservation on line you have to call. Every time I called I was quoted a different rate, which is understandable. I called 2 seperate times for a price quote and was quoted different prices. I was frustrated when I kept asking for...

This place is amazing! It is very family friendly. It has plenty of activities for the whole family, kids and adults. All activities are free to registered guests. Staff was very friendly and quick to respond to our needs. The pools were nice, they have three, one is indoor and heated. They have a deli and a tiki bar right... More
