The modern 62-room La Sammana Resort is an mid-range timeshare property on Brigantine Island situated two blocks away from the beach and a 15-minute drive to Atlantic City. Contemporary studios and one- and two-bedroom suites have flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, and living rooms, though the decor is a bit dated with some '80s touches. The hotel has a small pool on a rooftop sundeck with lovely beach views, as well as a small fitness center. A modern lounge offers a collection of books and board games and a flat-screen TV. The property has a one week minimum stay, however, and shorter bookings may incur a fee. The hotel can fill up during the season, and travelers seeking something comparable in the area should consider the nearby Legacy Vacation Club Brigantine Beach, which also features all-suite accommodations.
Scene
Contemporary timeshare property near the beach and Atlantic City
With five-floors of tinted windows, the La Sammana Resort is a corporate-looking building in a quiet residential area that’s within walking distance to the beach and a short drive to Atlantic City. The timeshare’s lobby is sparsely decorated in black leather armchairs, blue recessed lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Options to buy timeshare units are available, but the staff isn’t pushy with sales pitches. A few '80s-style bentwood chairs and navy leather sofas are scattered about the space, as well as a counter with self-serve tea and coffee dispensers. The lounge is similarly clad in minimal and modern, if bland, decor with an executive feel and features an array of armchairs as well as books, board games, and a flat-screen TV.

Situated in a residential area on the relaxed Brigantine Island, the resort is located across the street from a police department and two blocks from the beach. Various shops, restaurants, and supermarkets line the street and there's a bus stop across from the property with busses going to Atlantic City, a 15-minute drive away. The hotel also provides a free shuttle that goes to Harrah's Resort, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, the Tanger Outlets, as well as the Atlantic City boardwalk.

Rooms
Comfortable suites with well-equipped kitchenettes and some with balconies
Contemporary, light-wood furnishings, dark brown leather sofas and headboards, and shots of deep blue textiles fill the studios and one- and two-bedroom suites at the La Sammana Resort. Decor is pleasant, if a bit dated and bland, with cheap curtains and carpets, as well as old tube TVs in certain rooms. Units are well equipped for extended stays with modern kitchenettes that are outfitted with two-burner stovetops, microwaves, dishwashers, coffeemakers, refrigerators, and a range of dining and cooking ware. All suites have flat-screen TVs, DVD players, stereos, and safes, and some have balconies. Bathrooms have modern fixtures, shower/tub combos, hairdryers, and limited toiletries. Note: Guests bag their own trash and contact housekeeping for removal.
