I apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations, it did not meet mine either. I do hope you give us another opportunity in the future and agree that your family of 6 would be more comfortable in our lock-off suites, which sleep 8 comfortably. Thank you for your feedback. More

This hotel is well located on the beach, but needs a lot of upgrading to bring it to a 4 star. although some renovations are underway, it was disappointing. Other guests agreed with us. Even a hairdryer was absent.

We had a wonderful stay at the Ocean Sands Resort in Virginia Beach. The staff at the resort were very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. The indoor pool was great and the resort offered many activities. There were also many things to do close by such as the Virginia Zoo, Virginia aquarium, and the lighthouse.
