White Sand Vacations from $521

Conveniently located 1970s motel. Calling it a resort is quite a stretch. Lots of money spent on remodeling the lobby, sadly that's where it stopped. Rooms were mediocre at best. Dressing mirror was sitting on the floor, which required my wife to sit on the floor to fix her hair and put on her makeup. Lighting was miserable throughout the room. Sink had a large crack from top to bottom that had been repaired with silicone. Wall unit air conditioning was old and tired and struggled to cool the room. Parking is a problem requiring you to carry your luggage up multiple flights of stairs. The pool is nice. The 'water view' is technically correct, but you have to go to the far end of the second floor to see water a quarter mile away. Staff was a mixed bag with one extremely nice helpful person and one not so helpful. Maid service was terrible. They made the beds, but didn't empty trash cans, left 5 sheets of toilet paper on the roll and didn't put out a new one. They didn't refill the 'amenities' which consisted of coffee pods for the Keurig and packaged creamer. I'm assuming the advertised bar and restaurant is at the municipal golf course across the street. Whoever their photographer is is a genius.

The hotel itself was beautiful and newly decorated and done. Only problem was that the air was set to high that I had to text the number(there is not front desk staff) after about 20 min a maintenance man contacted me and told me how to change the air. They use an eco setting that will not allow you to lower the air under 72 it was super stuffy and warm in our room. Also there is not amenities such as vending machines or water fountains. The only thing offered was ice. Since hotel is all virtual you have to use a code to enter building and also your room with the key pad. There was several times that code pad wouldn’t work and we had issues getting in. Again hotel was beautiful rooms were nice but the bed…… it was like sleeping on wood. The only staff I seen was housekeeping that came by our room at 9am and woke us up.

Best than I could’ve ever expected.

The property was exactly as described. It was very clean and had plenty of bathroom towels and washcloths. We only stayed one night. There were many kitchen items, pots, pans, cups, plates, bowls, utensils, silverware etc, and a Keurig coffee pot. The only downsides were the train was right behind the house and it was loud during the night and the bed rolled towards the middle. Kinda uncomfortable for two people. It was in a great location and close to everything. Definitely worth for a quick getaway. Overall it was great and would stay again! 8/10

It was so much fun staying at Gil’s with my family! We enjoyed the dock and water! We fished and walked around! It was beautiful and so much fun!
