I had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful house, perfect for a family getaway. It was exceptionally clean and welcoming, with thoughtful extras that made us feel right at home. The location was fantastic, just a minute away from the beach, offering stunning sea views. However, I do wish it wasn't so popular, as I want to keep it a secret for our next visit!

My stay turned out to be quite disappointing due to a series of unfortunate service issues. The hotel lacked basic customer care, particularly when it came to communication and understanding guest needs. The location is decent, but everything else left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price I paid.

My stay was incredibly disappointing. The shared bathroom was in an awful state, and the overall cleanliness of the place was questionable. The noise levels were unbearable with residents playing loud music. I certainly wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. A major letdown both in terms of comfort and service.

The location isn't great for someone who values cleanliness and comfort. It's near several places, but the state of the hotel overshadowed that.

My experience at Sandy Bottoms was incredibly disappointing. The communication regarding our reservation was terrible, as I tried reaching out multiple times without any response. Once I arrived, I had to deal with shocking customer service from the management, which ruined the stay. On a positive note, the location is great, close to the beach, but there are serious issues with the service and cleanliness that need to be addressed.

Rooms
