Verified Reviews of Drifting Sands Oceanfront Hotel

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Not worth the money."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Our room was basic and clean, the people at the front desk were very nice. We paid close to $500, including a “resort fee”. I suppose that was for using chairs and towels for the beach, which we did not visit.
