It was not the best weather when we were there, but being right on the beach, we were able to take advantage of the good times. Nice pool bar. We had a relaxing time sitting at tdhe bar and having a snack after hanging out at the beach for a while. They have a great breakfast in the morning and it's close to everything so we can walk into town for dinner or drinks. We always enjoy our stay here.
It's a nice hotel. Service was good. Close to the beach.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. I was loaded down coming back to the pool area from the beach and trying to hold a 4yr 's hand. A staff member helped me carry my bag/beach chair up to the resort. Above and beyond. One of the bed sheets didn't look clean. Some drops of blood/juice or something. Just slept on other bed. Only reason not a higher score. Pool side food very convenient and lots of activities for families. Breakfast buffet included was fab! Overall I would recommend. On beach, great value w breakfast and good service.
Pleasant staff, good food, evening entertainment at the poolside bar. Well kept grounds.
Beautiful hotel. Walkable distance to other restaurants. Beautiful beach and pool area. Wonderful place to spend a vacation. 2nd time staying here and will definitely go again.
Friendly, helpful staff; clean and freshly decorated, great beach access.
This resort made our family mini-vacation easy and effortless. The staff was kind and accommodating, amenities were impressive, and dining options were superb. The impression that the online photos and descriptions left were verified in reality. Great location! The food was a little on the expensive side, it would be nice to see some more reasonable options - but the quality was more than sufficient. Breakfast was impressive and the views were breathtaking. The landscaping at this hotel deserves an award! The beach is beautiful and waves were perfect- It was not too busy and very clean. The rooms were comfortable and well-decorated, as well as quiet! We had guests on both sides of us and never heard a sound. As other reviews stated, the showers themselves could use renovation but this was a small issue that was easily forgettable. Overall, is definitely recommend this hotel to families and couples looking for an enjoyable experience in Wrightsville Beach!
Staff was exceptional. Food was very good. Location phenomenal. Room itself was disappointing. Bed was not comfortable definitely needed updating. However with that view of the ocean we would stay there again.
Nice hotel. Great breakfast. Enjoyed a walk on the beach and sunset over the Intercoastal Waterway.
Beautiful room, with spectacular ocean view. The beach was beautiful, as was the landscaping. The grounds are very large and beautifully manicured with interesting flowering plants, water fall, and a butterfly garden. So peaceful to look at while having breakfast . The fitness room, which included a sauna, was good, clean and had enough equipment for a good work out, The breakfast was satisfying, and the dining room had a wall of glass looking at the landscaping and butterfly garden. There is also a complimentary airport shuttle. The only negative was the weak internet. It would fade in and out of service. But am told they are upgrading that. All and all, a great place to stay any time of year.
Staff friendly and helpful. The location ecellent. The views were spectacular. The only downside was the bed. VERY uncomfortable, but most likely won't keep me from coming back.
We are so happy that we chose this hotel. It was an unexpected delight. Even though it's a bit old, everything was clean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Always a pleasant hello and smile. We had an oceanfront room--what a view!!! Would recommend it to everyone.
Beautiful room with great view. Wonderful breakfast buffet. Marvelous grounds with lots of butterflies!
Our room was ocean-front which made the relaxation never end. We went in October which is the beach "off-season" so we received all the best treatment from hotel staff and were amazed at their kind and helpful spirits. The hotel itself was so pretty and has a boutique feel. We cannot wait to go back sometime and I hope everyone has the chance to stay here.
We spent two nights here to celebrate a 77th birthday. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The Wednesday night managers welcome party included a live performer and complimentary beer or wine. We are delicious free breakfast buffet each morning sitting outside in beautiful gardens.
Nice hotel and pretty room but they need to upgrade the bathroom. Everything else in the room was modern, clean and beautiful with a great view but the bathroom was old and definitely needs an upgrade. The bathroom door was spotted because of moisture and wetness and the shower needs some help. The toilet had an old fashioned flush handle like the ones in the stalls. Overall the hotel was excellent with a lot going on and beautiful, really enjoyed our stay.
Lovely vacation or event venue. The grounds are beautiful, and the beach is always inviting. Only complaint is you have to rent beach chairs and umbrellas daily, which really should be included in a not inexpensive room rate.
Great location, fair price. Chill staff. Fine decor. All around - awesome.
