We've stayed at this motel twice & both times have been happy with not only the service, but the condition of the rooms. Knowing that most beach front motels/hotels or rooms anywhere near the beach are usually pricey & booked, it was nice to find this hidden gem with some availability! The rooms were very clean, spacious & provided many more amenities than the typical room in the area. There are plenty of sleeping areas also if coming with a larger group. Our first visit in July of 2011 consisted of myself, my husband & 5 kids total...and all of us slept comfortably in the suite that had 2 double beds & a pullout couch bed. Our second visit was just my husband & myself in October 2011 & again had plenty of room. The single rooms are much smaller than the suites- but it depends on your personal needs. The sand can be a little overwhelming on the ground floor to keep up with, but considering the parking lot is right on the beach- I can forgive that. Our second stay we stayed upstairs & unfortunately did have an issue with a mustiness in our room- but it was determined that our AC unit was at fault. The manager was very quick to remedy the situation, and when he couldn't replace the unit, upgraded us to a suite & no extra fee for the inconvenience. The beach outfront can get crowded at times considering it's public, but the views are amazing & the sands were kept clean. There are BBQ pits for the guests to use, beach toys for the kids & a fire pit & sandy relaxing area out front of the hotel for guests to utilize as to keep any commotion away from the guests who are resting. We also appreciated the 10pm curfew....adults are allowed to visit QUIETLY out of the room, but it's asked that kids & any people making noise retire to their rooms for the respect of other guests. We had no problem with our TV service, the water was nice & hot, and the close Bucees gas station right down the road provided everything we needed to stock the fridge. :) Overall we have been very happy both times with our visit to Cedar Sands, and plan to stay again in the future. The price makes this little gem worth it, and although the place isn't the Ritz Carlton, it's a nice place for a nice price in a very nice location!! read more
