Property was very run down. Buildings are older and not maintained well. No gym available. Pool is on the rooftop, which is different, but showing its age as well. Location is fantastic. Close to many amenities.

July 4th

My stay was marred by me constantly being locked out of my room. Every day i had to go back to the front office to gdt new room keys because my keys didnt work. This happened from the check in and continued until my departure. The front desk said that it was due to my room cards being placed with other creidit cards in my pocket. But that wasnt true. I only carried my room card with my license. Aside from me having to continuously having to replace my key card, i enjoyed me visit. Ive been visiting this location multiple times during the summer for the past 10 years. This is the first time ive had an issue of this sort. The only option the front dest gave me was to switch my room. Which wasnt ok with me due to the fact that i booked a room with a balcony and bay view, which wasnt an option ifni switched rooms. That was the disappointing issue with my stay, it took away from my overall experience.

I thought that the place overall was good, staff was pretty good. Any good restaurants though you got to drive to though. The main beach however was just across the street for access. The private hotel beach was nice, there’s different things to do there on that private hotel beach like sailing and paddle boating as well as swimming or just hanging out with friends back there later on at night, enjoyed that. But as far as to the boardwalk it s a must drive to, you definitely can not walk. Nice Bay views! Get Bayfront it s worth it! Over all good. But for me and my family we will be staying Ocean front with easy access to the Boardwalk. Thanks Princess Bayside for a decent and friendly stay!:) 😎 Ms. L. DeMalio

The staff was friendly , the rooms clean and comfortable. The small private beach was nice to watch the sunset. You have to walk between bldg 1&2 to access it. HOWEVER : There are *2* buildings. Building one doesn't have balconies or patios this is double rooms with limited views. The indoor pool is here. Building 2 has the balconies, king rooms and suites. The outdoor pool is a roof top on bldg 2. There is NOT a restaurant on the property. There is a Pub, No Food. Before booking, call direct and check their rates they were cheaper than a 3rd party. The ocean is a short walk across the road.
