We have been coming to the Sands at the same time each year for years for what is now an "extended family" reunion (that is, we see many of the same people who return year after year and who have become good friends!). The Sands is an old fashioned "motor-hotel", but the set-up is great for family and friends. The... More

We stayed at this hotel I was room 114 and my parents stayed room 110 my stay was from March 11-22 my... More

I am not sure who the other reviewers are referring too when they say it is a friendly place. NO employee at this hotel ever said hello to us, plus they look like dirty and shady. I was afraid to let me kids play outside or leave my door open. The girl at the desk had oily hair, food on... More

This place is awesome! I remember staying here in the 70s as a kid. Its still has all the charm and real retro flair! We stayed for a weekend (my boyfriend and I) in June of 11. The staff was friendly, pool great , rooms clean! It would be a great location for a tiki event. I would recomend one... More

We went to The Sands of Treasure Island last weekend with our four children for a weekend vacation. We had a wonderful time. We stayed in a one bedroom efficiency near the pool. The room had plenty of space for six people to sleep comfortably. There is a couch that folds out to a bed and a single day bed... More

I have been coming here since 1948--one year after it opened. At that time it was the only thing on TI. I returned after a 45 year hiatus and found the same steel furniture and Naughahyde furniture from my youth. It is very friendly and the same group seems to return during summer holidays every year. Best secret--enjoy the breezeway.... More

Once again we visited Treasure Island, FL on vacation and once again we stayed at The Sands. This ear we stayed in the very same room I stayed in as a child so this brought back many wonderful childhood memories. The unique thing about The Sands of Treasure Island is that it's very affordable, located on the beach, and roomy.... More

If you are looking for an affordable no-frills place to stay directly on the beach, this is the place for you. The layout of the motel reminded me of a 60s movie, and the furniture and decorations were definitely retro chic but we didn't mind it because we didn't spend a lot of time inside. The efficiency we stayed in... More

I made my reservation in the middle of the week and went there to check it out that coming Sunday. The AC in our room that they had reserved for us didn't work. The young lady at the office assured me she knew nothing about it, and she would let the manager know and have it fixed before the next... More
