What guests say
7.1 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 1,723 guest reviews
Sun~N~Sands Motel offers excellent oceanfront location, spacious rooms, and competitive pricing that appeal to budget-conscious beachgoers. However, the property suffers from widespread maintenance neglect—aging bathrooms with non-functional plumbing, uncomfortable beds, and safety hazards—along with slow housekeeping and minimal nearby dining. Guests appreciate staff warmth and beach access but express frustration that basic facilities require urgent renovation.
