I just spent four nights at Ocean Sands Resort, and it was a delight. The location at the peaceful South Port end of Surfers is excellent, close to Tedder Avenue's dining options, though a few things could be improved. While my two-bedroom deluxe unit was spacious and beautifully furnished with an amazing view, the internet connection issues were frustrating. I'd still recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

I had a really enjoyable stay at Ocean Sands Resort, despite the less than ideal weather during my visit. The unit was spacious and offered fantastic views of the Broadwater, with comfy beds and great amenities. However, I wish the kids' bedrooms had ceiling fans, as they struggled to cool down sufficiently. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back for another family vacation.

I had a lovely stay at Ocean Sands Resort. The spacious apartment on the 11th floor offered stunning views of the Broadwater, and I thoroughly enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony each morning. The only downside was that some kitchen essentials were missing, making cooking a bit challenging, but the facilities made up for it. Overall, I would give this experience a solid 9/10.
