Rio Sands Hotel
2.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (1002)
"We loved everything about the room, area, and property. They have a beautiful outdoor smoking area, with pretty plants and a fountain. (I don’t smoke, but my friend does). Our only complaint is they don’t have air conditioning. I know people tend to think you don’t need it when you’re by the beach, but the room was very warm and stuffy in the afternoon, and through the night. That might not bother most people, but it’s a big deal to me. Otherwise, it was a wonderful place to stay. "
