    Family Vacation

    Excellent place and excellent location very clean and very nice staff, next to beach, price is good, the access to the beach is almost the soon you get off the pool. We are planing to come again and stay on the same hotel, you can see the sun rise.

    Avoid the ground floor

    We enjoyed our stay, but highly suggest NOT staying on the ground floor. Because of the way the property is set up, there is too much foot traffic passing the ground floor rooms at all hours, so sleeping can be quite challenging with all the activity outside your door. BUT.....the staff was very accommodating and instantly approved my request to move to another floor. Problem solved and we had a relaxing and enjoyable rest of our stay. Although there was some spots of "wear and tear", the rooms were clean and comfortable. The bed was a little firmer than I like, but not enough to disrupt my sleep and my husband liked it. Situated at the end of the island, there are still many walkable places nearby, but with so many amenities on site, you don't even need to leave. On the beach, heated pool, well stocked gift shop and 3 beach bar/restaurants provide pretty much everything you need without leaving the resort. Plus, they also have a yummy complimentary hot breakfast (especially on taco day). The cherry on top was the friendly and helpful staff. I definitely recommend this property for your next SPI visit especially for families. Just remember to stay off the 1st (ground floor)😉

    WONDERFUL

    The Sand Rose was wonderful! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was something to write home about! Absolutely delicious! Housekeeping was always working to keep everything clean. Our room was always cleaned and fresh towels when we returned from the beach. It was just an amazing experience.

    Very relaxing

    Room was great. Location was wonderful. Staff was super. Very polite. Would definitely stay there again. We didn't have a car but the hotel was close to several gift shops. Breakfast was included and the best breakfast I have ever seen in a hotel.

    Great experience.

    Loved the heated pool and the breakfast! Employees are very friendly and helpful. Super clean place overall. There was always someone cleaning the entrance to the pool and beach. The rooms are nice sized. Beds not quite as plush as some other hotels I've stayed at.
