The staff was very kind and our room was very clean, I’m usually looking for things in our hotel rooms and ours was exceptionally clean. The only thing was the pools were almost a brown color, very murky. We didn’t utilize them.

It was our first time staying at the Sandpiper Beacon. Overall it was good. Our room was very clean. Our view was absolutely amazing. We had a private balcony, which we enjoyed. The staff was friendly. We enjoyed the Tiki bar. The grands loved the pool with the slide. The downside in spite of it being a non smoking facility was the smell of marijuana smoke. Mostly by the pool where the kids were playing. This should not happen. I look for non smoking facilities when I book rooms because of allergies, and well the odor. Like I said for the most part it was good.
