Desert Sand Resort

Clean Room, Easy Parking, quiet location, friendly staff, hotel is situated to both downtown Avalon & Stone Harbor as well as the beach.

Location was close to beach but far from Avalon proper where shops and food is available. It’s so close to the Stone Harbor shopping area that it’s more likely that is where time is spent. The bedroom area was well insulated for sound, but the seating area lacked a coffee table and I could hear the loud flush every time someone above me used the toilet. The bathroom fan was so loud, I thought about showering in the dark. Staff is friendly and helpful. Pool is so small there isn’t even room for a single umbrella which means there is absolutely no shade. Too hot to sit there otherwise. The small size meant there’s not much space to coexist with other families. Very disappointed I didn’t research better. It’s definitely clean, but I agree the bedding is subpar.

Jessica at desk is very helpful & cleaning staff friendly. Bathroom lacked towel rack & grab bar in shower. Swimming pools are clean & plenty of patio furniture. 1 long block from beach.
