We really enjoyed the bottom level rooms being able to walk right out into the lounge and pool area. The proximity to the beach and short walk to dining was great for our family. We really enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Beds were very comfy even the pull out. Kitchen was small but perfect for a few days and we really appreciated the full size fridge. Continental breakfast was good although they seemed to have less and less food as the days went on. Day 1 was amazing, day 4 was basically boiled eggs and cereal.

The room was very comfortable and spacious. The location was perfect - close to beach and beachwalk, coffee, restaurants, etc. The breakfast was more than adequate - delicious waffles and oatmeal! The only inconvenience we had was lukewarm water in the shower. The staff offered to move us next door, but we decided to stay where we were. Rio Sands is a great value!

Karen

The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was supplied with good shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The breakfast was nice - waffle maker, juice, tea, bread, cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, jellies, bananas. There was free parking (for one car). The room had a fridge, iron and board, hair dryer. The room had a dead bolt and one of those flip over locks

We missed the breakfast. There was no mention of it when we checked in so we didn't think we were entitled to it! It would have been an excellent addition to our stay. Especially with two little ones! I had looked around to see where it would be set up, but once I didn’t see it and nothing was mentioned about a continental breakfast.

We booked for a wrestling tournament, The manager was super kind and accommodating. Breakfast is served latter than most places, that's a bummer. However with communication with the manager she did open up breakfast an hour earlier for us! breakfast is minimal compared to most. Room was clean and inviting. great location.
