As a reference, my highest ever is a 92. Always extremely polite and helpful at check in. Rooms seem to all.have a small kitchenette, great towels and again wonderful beds. Fitness center is a bit outdated, but has an elliptical, couple of treadmills and some weight equipment. There is a great little restaurant attached to the back of the hotel that you can walk to through the hotel. When in the area, it's a great choice. However, during the prime season it's out of my budget unfortunately.

Ryan checked me in and was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. He could answer every question I…read morethrew at him! Sadly he was the bearer of bad news and had to tell me things that were not included in the resort fee since it was the weekend after Labor Day: No lounge chairs. No local transportation :( Pros *Beautiful room *Big room *Refrigerator in room with removable shelves so a wine bottle fits! *Big shower *Comfy bed *Great blackout curtains *Slight view of ocean *Nice clean gym *Starbucks in the lobby *Always 2 people at the desk- no waiting *Nice beach bar *nice lobby for meeting up *Easy parking *Chairs and umbrellas already set up on the beach *impressive amount of stuff in the mini store off the lobby. Cons *Closet bad layout- no room for long dresses due to safe in the middle. *No skirt hangers *Phone handle did not work- had to use speaker to call front desk. (This was quickly resolved) *No bicycle in the gym. *No ab stuff in gym *Once "Summer's" closes (midday?), you can't get an espresso based coffee drink *Only a rain shower head in the bathroom. Requires contorting body into gold medal gymnastic poses to clean all body parts while not getting hair wet *Shower cap at front desk, not in the bathroom. *No ledge in the bathroom Would definitely stay here again despite the appearance that the design of the room and bathroom was probably done my a male who only travels with a carryon! (Not a woman who overpacks for every situation, mostly wears long dresses, and travels with enough toiletries to make Dolly Parton look like a light traveler.)

We are old friends with this resort. We were in 105 this time. Fantastic spot. Quiet, and roomy…read more We love being on the first floor, although all our spots have had their own advantages. Great shower, comfy bed. We didn't get to hang at the pool this time but as always it looked great. Office staff is always so kind and helpful. I hate to recommend this spot because it is a gem and I would love to keep it our little secret, but fair is fair.

A-OK is correct! Visited Stone Harbor/Avalon for an engagement party this weekend and was lucky to…read moregrab a booking with my friend at Desert Sand. Where to begin? A lot of good and a lot of odd! Let's start with what I liked: + Great amenities for a beach vacay! Indoor and outdoor pools, super quick access to the beach front, ample parking for guests, nice sized rooms with a couple of different layouts, that you can explore on their website which is helpful. + Amazing location - quick walk to downtown area, easy beach walk, and close to restaurants and wedding venues. Pretty sure it was exclusively wedding guests staying here while we were attending. + Decent in-room amenities as well - we LOVE a hotel with makeup remover wipes. Free wifi, etc. The not so great: + Rooms are pretty bare bones and drab from a decor perspective. Haven't have an upgrade since the 80s? + The payment process was so wacky. You can "cash" in on a deal if you're willing to jump through hoops (at least in a not so busy weekend in October), like sending in a cash deposit, paying in cash upon arrival...and then getting a $50 visa gift card back. It was bizarre. I think finding accommodations here can be a challenge, so they'll continue to get away with it..but dang. Any seasoned traveller would say "WTF" to this process. + Like other reviewers have said, staff isn't super warm or welcoming. A fine option if you're looking for a cozy spot on the beach!

We arrived shortly before our check-in time of 4:00 pm on a Friday night and had no problems…read morechecking in upon our arrival. We had an XE suite which included a common area with a microwave, kitchen sink, and large refrigerator as well as two separate bedrooms both with their own full baths. Each bedroom had two queen beds and a tv. The room was spacious and the shower was nice until we found out our water wasn't getting warm no matter how far towards heat we turned our shower handle. Our room was cold (which was okay - I enjoy sleeping in the cold) but the air conditioner was very loud and was constantly turning on. I thought my bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. There was plenty of parking surrounding the hotel and lots of seats outside around the patio. I didn't mind staying at Desert Sands and it was more affordable than other options in the area. We didn't spend too much time in the room during our 2 night stay, but it wouldn't have been a big deal if I had to spend a little extra time in our room. It felt/looked clean. This was my first time in Avalon and I don't know when I'll be back but I would consider staying here again (as long as my shower had hot water lol).

Both the room and bathroom were very spacious. The bathroom had two sinks which was nice when getting ready. The room felt like it was thoroughly clean and smelled pleasant. The building itself was well-maintained and the Victorian aesthetic was preserved nicely. A small downside is that because of the building's age, noise cancelation is non-existent. We could clearly hear the people next door and directly above us. Overall, a great value.

There are different styles of units to choose from to suite various vacation needs. There's also a nice outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand.
