Our stay at Ocean Sands Resort was absolutely delightful, with spacious apartments that offer breathtaking views of the beachfront. The location is simply unbeatable, right near Tedder Avenue filled with restaurants and cafes, making dining out easy and convenient. While the apartments were well-kept and comfortable, the kitchen supplies could use a bit more attention, especially for a family stay. Overall, we felt it was great value for money and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

I had a fantastic stay at Ocean Sands Resort! The apartment was spacious with an amazing view, and it was conveniently located just a short walk from Tedder Avenue, offering plenty of dining options. The facilities included two pools and a spa, though I was disappointed that the advertised indoor heated pool wasn't warm enough for the kids. Overall, it's an excellent choice for families looking for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at Ocean Sands Resort was quite mixed. The spacious apartments provided fantastic views and a clean, comfortable environment for my family. The location is a real highlight, just a short stroll from Tedder Avenue and the beach. However, I encountered some issues with noise from portable fans in the children's rooms and felt that the property management could improve their approach to customer service, which was somewhat disappointing.

We had a lovely stay right in the heart of Main Beach, with spacious and comfortable accommodations that boasted stunning views of the Broadwater. While the location was fantastic, allowing easy access to shops and the beach, the furnishings in the room felt a bit outdated and could use some TLC. Overall, it was a great family experience, but there were aspects that need improvement.

The unit we stayed in was spacious with beautiful views, but the furnishings felt tired and needed updating. The oversized laundry was unnecessary, and some small glass tables were wobbly and a bit dangerous.

Our stay at Ocean Sands Resort was truly delightful. With spacious apartments offering stunning views of the Broadwater, it became our go-to location for a relaxing holiday. The area was quiet yet close to a vibrant selection of restaurants on Tedder Avenue. However, some noise from the streets could be heard, and the apartment lacked a balcony for more than two people.
