Sandalwood Beach Resort

Management would not enforce any kind of noise rules. Bunch of karaōke partiers kept us awake until 2:30 am until we threatened to call the police. Alcohol left in plain view and apparent underage drinking add up to poor management and lack if concern for the comfort of all their guests. When confronted, management made excuses.

Our room had a kitchenette, a bathroom, a sofa, a queen bed, a dresser & a small television.
No wifi.
Bathroom: towels had stains and were piling really bad. They provided 3 bars of soap but no shampoo, conditioner or lotion. The shower was a good sized walk-​in and had strong water pressure.
Kitchenette: clean but the toaster was crap. You had to hold down the toast the whole time.
Television: really small old flat screen with a broken remote. Had the animal network though.
Bed: the bed had a dip in the center and the pillow cases smelt a little moldy — like they left them in the washer too long. The comforter was very old and worn out but the sheets were clean and free of stains.
Sofa: nice clean tan leather sofa.
Location & atmosphere: the room we had faced right out to the beach so that was sort of a perk. It also meant you could hear everyone on the beach. The people along this beach do nothing but get drunk and that starts really early. We were awaken by someones unsupervised screaming and crying child throwing itself into our door while having a fit. We had more than a handful of drunk people think our room was theres and try there key. Speaking of key, they were awful. You had to jingle the knob while pressing the door in but pulling the door knob out. It took 2 people to open it.
Staff: the staff was nice and housekeeping checked in with us at 2:00pm. We always refuse housekeeping when staying because it seems like a waste.
Personal notes: Once while leaving the room to find some food (good luck finding a decent restaurant) we were stopped to take a picture for someone, no problem with that. The people were leather tan, hammered drunk and one pushed her boobs together and told my boyfriend to try not to make her look like a whore. :/​They and their friends were there when we got back, smoking cigarettes directly in front of our room and yelling at eachother in a heated arguement about someones husband. They were all mostly toothless so it was hard to understand.
The day of checkout the smell of bleach was overwhelming. Thry must’ve been cleaning near by because it stung my eyes in my room, seemed like it was coming through the a/​c vent.
We were given this beach weekend getaway as a gift and im so greatful for it i just wish it was to a different hotel/​beach. I don’t think they had been here for a really long time when the chose it. I feel weird leaving a poor rating on a gift because i am very greatful of the gift.

Nice place, friendly staff. Some rooms are nicer than others but over all cannot beat the price for the location. Steps from the water
