"4days w/Family of Five-adult children (golf, wine tasting tour & SBBowl concert). As a former SantaB resident. In 35yrs, I’ve frequented MANY properties in the area; SBInn checks all the boxes; great location w/easy beach access for walking/biking/swimming; Valet parking w/secure on-sight lot, essential for storing multiple sets of clubs in the car. Appreciated the Oversized rooms & balconies & Loved Convivo’s bar & patio dining, terrific for Happy Hour or a lovely meal w/ocean views. Property vibe is traditional Mediterranean; reception & rooms are feeling a bit worn/tired; needs to be refreshed but then, rates would be in the stratosphere:-( Will book again for our annual trip!"

10/10 Excellent
"O went by myself with my two little kids, and what an amazing time we had. The place has everything you need to meet all your necessities. It’s super clean, you see the staff(and they have a lot) cleaning rooms, halls, stairs, and everything around so the place is well kept. Even though it’s a little old (which a lot of places around that area are), it is kept in great condition. The lobby is so welcoming. The staff is great. The location couldn’t be better. The rooms are so spacious and have a place to put everything and they are also very clean. The room also have a small fridge that works great. The AC and ceiling fan works amazing. The swimming pool was the highlight of my daughter’s trip (and it was really clean) To me if q place is clean and well maintained, it doesn’t matter how old it is, it is prefect! Thank you for making us have such an unforgettable time. We will be back!!!"

Blue Sands Inn, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

8/10 Good
"The property was maintained appropriately. We had an issue with maid service because the card indicating service fell off the door. We were able to get additional towels from the front desk. Unfortunately, there were very active dwellers in the room above us that made it difficult to sleep with constant pounding coming from the ceiling, but that is not the hotel's fault. We parked in the front disabled parking. There is a blue striped island next to the disabled space that is supposed to be free of vehicles, but vehicles were allowed to park there. That is not correct."
