The employees in the front disk was so rude and bad service and the room was smell something bad
the food service needs to be improved. we did breakfast buffet and Saturday dinner. the quality of food and service were not up to standards expected at fine resort.
Only was in town one night, but would definitely stay again.
Hotel is old and shows it’s age in the room. Partly renovated. Bathroom is very small and not functional. Beds are hard and heating system very noisy and doesn’t warm the room — our visit was during a really cold night. Overall i would give it 2.5 stars. Don’t plan to return. Way overpriced for the quality of hotel.
The staff was very attentive and helpful. We stayed at a room that faced the ocean with a balcony. Everything was perfect although the place could use an exterior make over...
A jewel for sure. Loved the retro/tasteful decor. Perfect get-away.
We really enjoyed staying here, the people running this hotel were very pleasant and the food was delicious.
Absolutely wonderful stay!!! Perfect location and wonderful hotel staff.
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.
