Atlantic Sands Hotel & Conference Center

Disappointed The best part was the staff at the onsite restaurants/bars - Kiwi's Kove and Kiwi's Tiki Hut. Excellent service and such a nice group of young people! Aside from the restaurant setting, we also had several other opportunities to chat and learn a bit about them. Though they were all awesome, we were fortunate enough to have the most interactions with ANNA. There were several times that she went above and beyond what we expected and was always so sweet. The Sands is so lucky to have her! The restaurants have a nice menu and all the food was great. Very nice cocktail menu as well, and you can't beat the open air view of the beach since it's right off the boardwalk. There's also a nice coffee shop with limited hours that is accessed from outside, to the left of the main hotel entrance. Hotel desk staff could have been friendlier and more personable. I did report an issue on our last day and the woman we spoke to then was friendly and responsive, but other than that, the feeling was lukewarm at best. The lobby is attractive and modern, but that's where it ended. Our room did not look like the newly refurbished rooms in the photos. The best part was the oceanfront balcony, but the room itself was tired and worn and they would not change our room. Side-sleepers: I recommend bringing some kind of padding. I kept waking up from rib pain because of the extremely hard mattress. I'll wait until the new hotel is done next door in 2027 before going back; we'll walk over to Kiwi's though!

The staff and hotel was very good. Convenient to beach and boardwalk. The room was clean. My only suggestion for this hotel is to replace carpeting throughout the halls and rooms.

It appears that the facility has recently been renovated. The Sands was chosen because of the boardwalk location with easy access to the beach and the pool overlooking the boardwalk. Unfortunately, there was only 1 day of our 5 day stay that we could enjoy the beach and beautiful pool.
