The White Sands Oceanfront Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"We had two rooms between 3 travelers. One of the rooms all of the doors would stick in the jambs and would make a horribly loud noise when trying to close (both bathroom and external door). In the other room the doorknob to the bathroom was unscrewed and falling off the door so it didn't offer a ton of privacy. It was nice that they were located next to each other though. There is one ice machine and regardless of which way you come at it from you will have to take the stairs which isn't super accessible for everyone. The staff was very nice and the checkin and checkout process was very easy."
