Posted on Walter JordanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our third stay and absolutely love it. Will definitely be back and recommend highly to anyone especially with kids.Posted on Kaleigh McavoyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend! Beautiful beach, excellent amenities, the food at the restaurant was really good, we rented beach chairs and an umbrella for the day, playground for kids. BUT the main reason we will 100% be back is because we got in late, our kids were exhausted from a long road trip, we booked a 2 bedroom suite by the pool but unfortunately someone left the sliding door open which let in the infamous Florida love bugs. Their were only 2 other rooms available that were much smaller than what we needed for our 4 kids, but the manager was amazing and made it right, and gave us a beautiful condo with stunning beach views, because of this we will be staying at sandpiper for our summer vacation! Thank you for the amazing experience!Posted on Debra BasdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just arrived home yesterday from a week trip to sandpiper. Our family has been going here since summer of 2007 and now my children are taking their children here. There has been alot of updates and changes since we started coming and all for the better. The customer service has always been wonderful and for many years many of them new myself and family by name. Love the activities they have for all ages from bingo, karaoke, Polynesian dancers and have on occasion had movie nights. My family and I will continue to visit here for many years to come.Posted on Lyle NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love visiting twice a year. It has become a family tradition with other families in my area. Can't beat the breakfast at Coconut's.Posted on tammy ahernTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Upon arrival we were greeted in a friendly manor check in was simple and quick. We had an ocean front room that was clean. It is not the fanciest place we have stayed but clean room with white bedding and the resort had plenty of amenities. There is usually some sort of entertainment at the Tiki bar. Beautiful views of the ocean and great proximity to the beach. A very good location in general and friendly staff. There were no hangers in the room but they are available at the desk and you can ask for an iron as well. The rooms have a basic coffee pot but bring your own coffee as none is provided. Our room was king oceanfront studio only, no kitchen. There was a microwave and mini fridge.
