I loved the gaz fireplace in the room, this is really nice. Big TV screen in the room. 15 mns walk to the pier

Great location, super comfy and plenty of amenities for a great price. Helpful staff.

view in the ocean view room is incredible! Clean, well equipped with comfortable beds! We will definitely come back again

What is most special about the Blue Sands Inn is its location right by the beach. Our room was pleasant, but dark. There was a little balcony from which one could see the sea and the pier.

Decor was gorgeous, staff let us check in 1.5 hours early and the pool was heated. All round great stay here!

the staff were so incredible helpful. the use of sms with tips and prompts was such a thoughtful touch!

really near to the beach, heated pool in front of the door, kitchen was super handy with the kids

Beautiful boutique hotel, champagne on arrival from lovely welcoming staff

Location was great being just across the street from the beach. Free Champagne & cookies in the evening was a nice touch. The room was very clean & pool was heated. Kitchen was a nice, unexpected perk in the room too.

Rooms are nicely decorated and bright and clean. Decent pool outside and a good location.
