Power outages
Good overall, but there is a noisy pool repair in the morning.
Also when we attempted to use microwave - power to TV, fridge and microwave oven turned off.. Called office - they turned some switch back on. Then in less than a minute the same power outage. Repeated - and it worked this time. Manager said that too many rooms were trying to use microwave simultaneously:)

just okay
The rooms need to have better quality beds and bedding in general as well as warm blankets I had to leave the heater on all night because it was freezing inside. Also egg for breakfast would be nice instead of just oatmeal, fruit and pastry some type of protein for breakfast please

It's fine
Sandpiper is nice...priced reasonably. It is clean and fairly quiet. Continental breakfast is very limited. The only real drawback was the slow wifi and 0-1 bar reception on my phone. Maybe because I was on the ground floor under a stairway. If the price was low enough I'd stay here again.
