Really enjoyed our stay here! First floor ocean view room was right on the sand with a view of the dunes and the ocean. Great balcony to sit and chill. Beds were comfy and clean. Hotel was right in the middle of the island so very easy to anywhere you wanted. Great place!

Liked having laminate flooring vs carpeting and easy access to the beach. Air conditioning was very noisy and upstairs guests sounded like elephants who didn’t sleep much. Staff was welcoming, friendly, helpful, and attentive.

We selected Drifting Sands because of its location & the fact that they are pet-friendly. We were impressed when we arrived by the attractive appearance of the hotel and by the excellent front desk staff - exceptionally pleasant and clearly dedicated to pleasing the customer. The room was good - very clean and comfortable although there was a very rickety wooden desk that we dare not use. We were only there for one night so our experience was limited. A good hotel right on the beach.

Very nice bonus for them to offer out beach chairs and beach towels. Having an ocean front room was spectacular and our King room with the huge tub had plenty enough room. The only downfalls for me would be the shower door was difficult to navigate and a little bit more counter space. But other than that perfect. The beach was stupendous
