We stayed at Silver Sand Resort for three days in August for an ATV trip. We booked a motel room for two. The booking and check-in were very quick and easy. There were about six walkout basement rooms in the main building underneath the restaurant. When we parked at our room where we were greeted with the smell of garbage. Later we found the garbage drop off area was quite close to the rooms. In the heat of the day, the smell was very noticeable. The parking area was littered with little bits of garbage and across from the parking lot was a pile of wood debris and mixed garbage piled up which we understand was the old garbage drop off area that had not been cleaned up. Our room had two double beds, one tiny night stand a large bar fridge and cabinet with drawers. The beds were very comfortable and clean. There was a coat hook mounted beside the main door and a clothes hanger with about ten mismatched hangers. The bathroom had a small vanity, toilet and tub with shower. There was no sitting area, no chairs, no dresser or any other furnishings. The room was reasonably clean, except for the headboards and lamp which were quite dusty and under/behind the bed which needed cleaned. The only smoke detector in the room had been removed, which was concerning given the room sits under a commercial kitchen. The TV had a Bell receiver, which got no channels. There is no phone, no clock and there is no Wi-Fi, even though it is advertised as having it on different websites, including this one. We e-mailed the resort during our stay to inquire about the tv and Wi-Fi, but nobody bothered to return our message. We asked the next morning and were told neither were offered. Why is there a tv in the room if there is no service? The BBQ had no propane and there were no glasses or other kitchen type amenities. We called and asked specifically about a coffee maker before our stay and were told there was one, so that was very frustrating. The weather was very hot a humid during our stay and we were shocked to find out there is no air conditioning and the room had no thermostat to control the temperature. In fact, aside from a ventilation fan in the bathroom, there was no sign of heating, ventilation or air conditioning at all, although there was a ceiling fan. The room had a crank window, which didn 't work, so we left the door open for air until the bugs migrated in. The second night we were so hot that we played around with the window until we finally got it to open. The beach area was nice and you could walk out quite a ways which would be fabulous for kids. There was a nice looking playground and a beach volleyball area at the water. For a resort , the amenities were pretty limited. We had dinner at the restaurant which was good. It is managed separately from the resort, so I 'll give it a separate review. Overall our stay was pleasant as we were out on the trails all day. While I can 't speak to the cabins or camping, I would not recommend the motel rooms. I think there are better options in the area. It is really too bad as there is so much potential here.
