Yes host was very nice. The room advertised for Suite 253A was not at all the actual 253A that I stayed in. It was very dreary, no comforter, old dingy brown furniture, hospital quality blankets. A very dark, unhappy feel. The room deserves a refresh to match the amazing location!

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay at Silver Sands very much. The location is perfect. Easy access to the beach. Nice beach chairs available daily at the pool and beach. Located close to many delicious restaurants. Our only complaint was our room was tiny. This is no fault of the property owners just didn’t realize how cramped we would feel.

The room itself definitely needed some updates. There were areas in the bathroom that had started to be touched up but it was a different color than the rest of the walls. The room itself also needed updating. It is a beautiful area but this resort is def run down.
