Close to beach and clean
Thé hôtel looked like a motel in layout. The higher floors are accessible via worn down elevator. Rooms are decent in size and clean. Had issue with AC vent that was humming all night. Free breakfast is mediocre so get coffee and move on. Location was great,central to beach boardwalk and to shops. Bonfire was a plus

Nice location. Close to beach and walkable to restaurants. Property looks like a refurbished Days Inn. The rooms are newly updated with fresh paint, floors and furniture, but this is definitely a 2 star property, so nothing fancy, but it was clean. We enjoyed the small private beach in the back of the property that faces the bay.

I have stayed add surf and stand for over 10 years. When I come to pensacola, it is the best kept secret on the island. Elizabeth takes great pride in taking care of the breakfast buffet in the mornings and it shows. kelly at the front desk always has a smile on her face and is one of the kindest people i've ever come in contact with.

Well, two Christmases and two marvelous stays at the Sand & Surf! This time we got the 4th floor and the view was magnificent. There was a little early evening party going at the bar nearby but they quieted down in time for us to get our beauty sleep. Breakfast was unmatched and Elisabet was so very welcoming and attentive. Thank you and see you next year.
