We’ve come here a few years in a row now, and we’ll most likely be back! Staff was mostly very helpful and polite. We like the setup in the water and close to old Wilmington so we can easily walk and explore all it has to offer! So glad to have discovered this hotel. Didn’t really like the barking dog in the room next door, but otherwise another great stay.

Five star! Loved it.

We went down for 5 days and im so glad i chose this resort. The front desk workers were AMAZING!!!It was clean. The room looked wonderful and was very comfortable. It had a kitchenette that was very functional. It was not right on the strip (about 18min drive away) so it was very calm and quiet. I would definitely stay here again 10/10 expirence.

Our stay in one of the villas was absolutely amazing! My teenage daughter and her friends had the best time! We took comfort in knowing they were safe. The resort is beautiful and convenient. It’s the only place we will stay from now on!

Loved the trip and location and servuces was great. We recommend Sands Ocean Resort to everyone.

I got married on the beach and the resort was so accommodating to me and my guest, they went above and beyond to help in every way possible.

Nice and quiet

Is the best my kids love it everything is close

We stayed here on the last night of a road trip through TN, SC, and NC. We were flying home from Wilmington, and wanted an affordable hotel close to the airport, as we had to leave at 3am for the flight. This hotel was clean and felt safe. They had a pool, which seemed to have a bit of an issue (it wasn’t all the way full), but we still were able to swim and they were refilling it as we were there. We had to leave too early for breakfast, but the breakfast room looked nice, and it was free. No restaurant on site, but it was super easy to Door Dash some dinner, and there were vending machines available for snacks. The bathroom was strange, with the toilet and shower in a separate room, but the sink out in the same room as the beds. This was unfortunate at night, as it was difficult to wash hands without waking up my travel partner. I would have preferred to have a fully contained bathroom that was separate from the sleeping space. It was easy to Uber to downtown to see the sites. Overall, I would stay here again if I needed a close to the airport, budget-friendly hotel.
