I really enjoyed my stay. I will be back. Very close to the ocean. The breakfast was awesome. The room was very spacious and even had a kitchen and full refrigerator. Would love them to allow dogs. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the Rio Sands Hotel.

We have been to the Rio Sands literally a 100 times in the past few years. Lots of changes with staff and the quality of service at the hotel. I want to give Karie a huge shout out for making our stay special. She went over and above to make our stay outstanding. Thank you so much Karie.

I love how close it was to the beach, my family and I definitely took advantage of walking there and back on our stay.

Clean room parking ok. Can be noisy with property across the street and tenants who arrive late at night

My mattress wasn't even across the entire surface. But our suite was spotless, no sand on the floors which isn't so easy this close to the beach.
Very clean suite and roomy. Quiet and very close to the beach. Coffee in the continental breakfast room was good, and the fire and comfy chairs added a nice ambiance. We'll be back

Best part about Rio Sands is how close it is to the beach! That is the only reason they can charge their rates. The King room is just ok, nothing special. There was a terrible stench in the bathroom…not sure if it was in the pipes or a really bad smelling cleaning product. No elevator for 2nd floor room. I appreciated the pool closing at 9pm to stop the screaming kids.

Love the location! Last time we stayed upstairs in the same building as the office. This time we were downstairs by parking and it wasn’t as nice-lacked privacy too,
