I went to the Surfsand with three of my girlfriends for our annual trip together. We intially booked two Oceanfront Studio Two Double Beds rooms for April. Because the renovation took longer than expected (doesn't it always?), the rooms were not available in April, so we rebooked for May at the same price. One week before we were scheduled to arrive in May, management contacted me to let me know that the rooms were not available. I was initially really upset, until they upgraded us to four separate ocean view rooms -- two Beachfront Suites and two Beachfront Patio Kings -- at the same April price! Not only did we get beautiful newly renovated rooms, but the rooms were WAY better than the rooms we had originally booked. All the rooms had sweeping views of Haystack Rock and Terrible Tilly. Not only that, we booked the private beach bonfire with s'mores for our second night there and they didn't charge us! We ate dinner at the Wayfarer Restaurant both nights and breakfast on our last morning. The food was incredible, as was the service. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the hotel. Everyone seemed genuinely friendly and happy to be working at the Surfsand. The rooms were gorgeous and serene, and the view was spectacular. I wish we could have stayed there longer. Special thanks to Dylan (our bonfire/s'mores specialist), Phillip (general manager), and Zack (front desk).
