Very friendly staff. Excellent early check in and access to beach badges so you can enjoy your day before the room is ready and they let you use your beach badges after checking out until 3pm. Two beach days for the price of one night.

Great place to stay

This was a wonderful resort to stay in. Easy access to the beach and the room was great. The water pressure was surprisingly good which really helped get the sand and sunscreen off. There is so much in walking distance too which helped a ton.

Hi Beautiful People! The staff members who checked us in were fast, efficient and very friendly! The room was clean and we were able to grab the parking spot right in front of our room. The bed and pillows were ok. Again, most importantly, they were clean. The beach was 1/2 a block from our room!!!! We took a 20 minute ride to Beach Haven and had dinner at the Black Whale, which was wonderful! We would absolutely return to this establishment!!

Dirty rooms, never change the sheets or pillow cases, we need to ask for extra towels, this is a Motel not Hotel. The staff at the front desk was very polite, after a brief complaint about my first room assign we were relocated to a somehow better room. The pictures show on website and promotions are for the BEACH FRONT HOTEL, this misleads the client and tourists. Please check directly with the facility regarding rooms availability and commodity.

I have stayed at the Drifting Sands before, but this was my first time in the Beach House as all other rooms were sold out. I was shocked at how old and dingy the room was, how uncomfortable the beds were and how unclean the bathroom was. Drifting Sands location on the beach is great and the service of beach chairs and towels is nice. But the hotel needs to undertake serious renovations of the Beach House rooms and should not rent them out again before modernizing them. For the money they charge, they can certainly afford to do so.
