The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Beach Front Suite

We spent three nights in a beach front suite with our son and our service dog in training. The suite was awesome being able to see the ocean and waves from the living room. Loved all the thoughtful touches such as apples in reception, lots of movies and groceries even. It was fantastic!

Surfside Grill Delight

I enjoyed the food truck and seating arrangement near the beach. It was great having a casual dining option where I could grab delicious fish and chips right at the beachfront, making our beach outings even more enjoyable.

Fun Movie Experience!

The resort had so many movies available, which made our downtime super fun. We loved winding down in the evenings by watching different films together after our beach adventures. It was a perfect way to relax!

Kid-Friendly Retreat

Pacific Sands was genuinely family-friendly! The beach set up welcomed my kids and our dog perfectly. It was a great experience for them to be able to splash around in the water safely and enjoy outdoor activities.
