Spent three nights here in late September with some friends who have stayed here before. The location is fine, just a block to the ocean beach, a five minute drive to the attractive little town of Stone Harbor, and about 25 minutes to the quaint town of Cape May. The "resort", however, is really just a long, three story motel... More

I have stayed at this "Resort" many times over the years since 2000. Up until a couple of years ago, there have not been too many issues and I have never written a review. But my last two stays just this summer warranted a review. I was there for a week in August and was unable to go in the... More

My wife and I have stayed at the Desert Sands many times from 2008 - 2012 and have always had a positive experience. However it should be known that the Desert Sands is in no way a resort. In fact I would say it's closer to a high end motel than it is to a resort. But what it lacks... More

Desert Sands is recently renovated, very clean and just 2 blocks from the beach. It has 2 great pools, one indoors and one outdoors. There are tables with umbrellas where you can eat outside, and the parking lot is easy to get in and out of. The only problem is that the Internet does not work for all devices, and... More

The rooms were clean and well maintained and the staff were extremely friendly. The furnishings are a bit basic and dated, but that wasn't a bother at all. Beach is 1 short block away. I would definitely stay here again! Beach tags included with your room price.

We spent a weekend here in late August. It was one of the last hotels in Avalon we could get a room. Normally, this would be a warning sign, but it was clean and modern. The front desk workers were friendly and helpful. The room was good enough for the weekend and was clean and appeared newly remodeled. It was... More

This is our third stay here. We wanted the room we had last year, but motel wanted $20 or $25 to hold a specific room. I opted out so our room was right by the noisy pool. We had the D room, efficiency with separate bedroom, king size bed. Needs two end tables on either side of sofa, not just... More

Hotel is very nice and clean, family oriented, has an indoor and outdoor pool, 1 block to beach and several places to eat within walking distance. Area where located is also very nice and clean. There were however two things that I was not too happy with. The beds in our room were covered in plastic underneath the sheets, obviously... More

I was pleasantly surprised! Brand new rooms, very very clean. More room than expected. Thought it was just a room with 2 beds. It was a small efficiency. Would definitely stay again. The check in was easy. Parking was easy. Location great. Would be nicer if on the beach, but it's just a short walk across the street. Avalon is... More
