Comments	As other reviews reflect, Sand Dollar is a well-maintained, efficiently-operated condominium, with full modern kitchens containing coffee makers, pots/pans/plates/utensils, cable TV, and strong internet most times (best in the early morning). Screened-in porches allow you to enjoy the cool evening breezes and sunsets without worry of bugs. AC is strong in the bedrooms, and for a modest $10/day premium, AC is available in the living/dining/kitchen area, but with the screened porch and screened windows, AC seemed unnecessary. Very nice housekeeping staff. The office staff is on duty 7 days a week, and very supportive. I've read some comments about the age of Sand Dollar. Ignore those. The condos, grounds and beach front are very nicely maintained, and in my view the age of the buildings is irrelevant. The real treat for me, however, was discovering Dive Friends, the main dive operator on site. I was so pleased with the professionalism of the staff and their services at Sand Dollar and its other sites around the island. Their enthusiasm was contagious each morning -- they genuinely work hard to make the experience enjoyable. Five stars for Sand Dollar and Dive Friends.
