Sun N Sand Resort

Definitely a beach motel. Maybe the last resort. But it is very scenic for a wedding- with a little pond, a rolling hill, and a gazebo. Stairs are narrow and steep. Internet is non existent. The desk clerk kept repeating “ just go to google on your phone and touch join.” Even in the office we couldn’t ever find the Wi-Fi connection. The air conditioner blew cold air on our heads all night. A small window AC, it is stuck right next to the headboard. (Room is so small it is literally next to the bed) TV is so small you lose half the picture. Captions are particularly fun to read when you can only see the middle. It is a short drive to South Haven, but be prepared to walk a bit to the sand part. (South Haven is a fun little place) Best thing is the nice toiletries. The management asks you not to drink your own booze and charges for beer and wine. We drank our own!

This place is awesome! Grills, cornhole, giant chess, a pool, and fire pits—everything you need for a relaxing, enjoyable time! Park and stay for your vacation or venture out to the beaches and shops. South Haven is close enough to enjoy but far enough away to feel secluded.

If I could rate less than a zero I would. The pictures on the website are false advertising. The rooms are so small, the floors aren’t level and the rooms aren’t clean between guest arrivals. The bathtub wouldn’t drain and there was someone else’s hair stuck to the back of the bathroom door. The floors in the room were filthy. No outlets in the room to plug things in. The paint was peeling off the windowsills on the inside of the windows. In need of serious help people!! Management doesn’t care and are very rude!! $200 a night… please. Should be 50 cents a night if that!

Pictures do not accurately reflect the reality of the Sun n Sand Resort!! We arrived in South Haven to attend our nephew’s wedding. From the outside, this resort looks beautiful, and the grounds are, in fact, very nice. However, the units (2) we stayed in need a total redo and deep cleaning. The bathroom was dirty, with unidentified hair on the floor tile. There was a spot of blood on the inside of the bathroom door, as well as ants on the floor. The outside porch lights were bright and lit up the room at night; the outdated blinds were insufficient to block out the light. In addition to dirty baseboards and sandy floors, the seal around the entry door was worn to the point where one could see daylight when the door was closed. Among other issues, there were no bed stands, no lamps (just an overhead light,) one small bar of soap and no channel guide or instructions for the TV.

This place is a dump. Rooms are too small, bathroom sink was very old and badly in need of repair. Pool area needs to be updated. Small tv in room, only one chair to sit on, and it was like a chair for a kitchen table. A/C is a joke. Just an old A/C unit in the window. There is nothing “quaint” or “cute” about this place.

I was so excited to stay here because the website made it look like an old fashioned resort. The one bedroom pictured was definitely not what we had. The room was so small that there was barely room for two people. The bed was against the wall so if you needed to get up in the middle of the night, you had to crawl to the bottom of the bed to get up. There was one wicker chair wedged in the corner by the window beside a small table that had a microwave and refrigerator. There wasn't even room to keep your suitcase out. We had to put it on the bed and close it up and sit it back on the floor when done. There wasn't a night stand. No lamps, just one overhead light. The bathroom door stuck so everytime you came out, you literally had to push the door at the top to get it open and it made a loud screeching sound when you did this. The bathroom was clean but the sink was very slow to drain. The website advertised cable TV but it was in fact satellite. After our first day out, we came back to our room to relax and watch TV. Unfortunately the satellite wasn't working. I called the front desk and was told he could come look at it but "it's satellite so there's not really anything I can do to fix it". I stopped at the front desk the next morning and was told they would send someone up to look at it. When we came in that evening, the TV was on and working...until we tried to change the channel. The pool was clean and heated, although we didn't use it. I gave it 2 stars because the room and bathroom was clean. Definitely would not stay here again.

The rooms are VERY small. The 'resort' is quaint. A very nice pool, corn hole, picnic tables, and a very nice swing overlooking a pond. The 'resort' has nothing else, no restaurant, no food. You must drive to stores and restaurants. There's a lot of potential, a bar and or restaurant would be a good mine.

The picture of the country inn in the advertisement was not the same as the room we were given. There was no mention in the ad of other buildings where rooms were rented. The room we were given was in a side building with a sloping floor. We had to remake the bed so that our heads would not be going downhill because of the sloping floor. We slipped in the bath tub because it also sloped downward. When we opened the small refrigerator, our water bottles came rolling out because of the sloping floor. The door was very hard to lock and stay shut so we slept with a chair propped under the door knob. The person who greeted us and signed us in was not friendly or welcoming at all. Her attire was not appropriate for greeting guests who were spending the night there. The ad also mentioned food service (restaurant) is available on site. It was not in service at all. The ad mentioned the beach was a few steps away. It was after we drove into town, found a parking spot and walked to the beach. The ad mentioned the close proximity to trailheads. Close, after we had to drive 2-4 miles to the trail heads. The ad mentioned fire circle with seating. Seating was two wooden benches with no back. The fire circle was a metal ring in the middle of a field. There was no comfortable seating anywhere, inside or outside, except at the swimming pool. The pool was generally clean and clear, but not salt water as advertised. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone.

We stayed for a weekend in July with several other families and school-aged children. After we booked, I started to have second thoughts after reading some of the older reviews. Not sure where some of those people were staying but all I can say is, less competition for the rest of us to book again! This place had it all- the rooms were very comfortable, with two good-sized bathrooms, comfortable bedding and light, fresh decor. The pool was heated and pleasant on a mid-summer Michigan evening- there were even fresh pool towels available. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, going out of their way to steer us toward the best beaches and restaurants in the area. The coffee in the lobby was the best hotel coffee I have ever had! But the best part, by far, was the outdoor space. There were several acres of wide, green fields for playing soccer and capture the flag. There was a scenic pond for skipping rocks with a small water feature that was a perfect adventure destination for the kids. And the fire pits were perfectly placed so you could sit back and observe it all by the roaring fire. We shared several meals in the outdoor space and the hotel had any utensils or items we needed to make our stay easy and restful. We will definitely be back to this charming midwest oasis!
