    Amazing location with beautiful views, great staff, and convenient beach service ... at a price.

    • Superior Double Room with Two Double Beds

    The main thing was the price. When you're paying over $1000 per room per night, the following things, while minor, probably shouldn't have been issues. First was the absence of any kind of breakfast. The hotel offered pretty decent discounts at local restaurants, but the lack of an included daily breakfast was disappointing, particularly given our experiences at resorts abroad. There was a coffee/croissant service on Saturday and there was a nespresso in the room, but that was it. Second, the valet service needs more staff. They were nice and polite, but at peak hours, you could wait up to 20 mins for your car, which would be parked in a dirt lot next to the hotel. At one point, I asked if I could just go get it myself (I wasn't allowed to). The hotel lacked a variety of pillows, so my partner had to fold up a towel inside a pillow case to put her head on to avoid neck pain in the morning. The last thing was the noise. The hotel provides a venue for weddings, which were pretty frequent in the peak summer season. The noise these generated occasionally disrupted our sleep, sometimes going on as late as 0100am. Double-(or triple-)paned glass could have helped. Again, at a normal hotel at the shore, these complaints are small potatoes (and par for life at the Jersey Shore), but at the price they were asking, the experience really needs to be flawless.

    This hotel resort is probably the only one like it in the area that combines ease of access to the beach, beautiful views, and modern facilities with great and friendly service and discounts at various restaurants along the waterfront. My family loved our stay overall and was very satisfied with the services provided by the hotel, especially the beach chairs and umbrellas. We lucked out with beautiful weather along the shore, and I had a really memorable time at the beach with my family. The staff were very courteous and friendly and did their best to address any issues that came up.

    Not very welcoming. Needs warmth and at the time we were there no restaurants were available. No food served on Saturday ( coffee and dry pastries were offered in lieu of breakfast in a table on a corner) The other days you could buy bagels on a fast food coffee connected to the hotel up to 4:00 pm. No room service. Nothing! Definitely not a resort!

    Very Good
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Queen Room with Two Queen Beds

    Personally I am very sensitive to AC and can't tolerate very cold temperatures indoors (I realize others have different preferences for this), however even after switching the AC off completely and having the balcony door open while we were in the room (except for sleeping), the room was still very cold despite being high 80s / low 90s outside. Fortunately the bedding was sufficient enough so sleeping wasn't an issue.

    Location is amazing, staff is friendly and generally everything is just very convenient

    The property is gorgeous and location I could not be better, but it was not very well organized, the pool was dirty, towels for the beach were not in the shed on 2 days out of 4, no meal plans no child size bike - the hotel is welcoming children so that’s an omission. When m room Was cleaned clean towels were not provided I had to call 4 times before they were delivered. For service and amenities it is grossly overpriced.

    Check in was delayed by group arriving without reservation. The very patient and professional staff had to unfortunately waste a lot of time negotiating, back and forth, with a large family wanting an ocean view room they were not willing to pay for, nor did they review or reserve in advance. This is not an inexpensive stay. Perhaps an automatic check in kiosk would be helpful for those who have reserved well in advance. The restaurant and breakfast cafe were closed for several weekdays, including ours. This could be improved.

    Terrific location with ocean view. Early morning sunrise a plus.
