10/10 Excellent
"Very good location. Excellent services. The only issue we had was parking the car in the carpark late af night as most spots were taken. We had to park our Santa Fe in a space for a compact car. That was a challenge !"

Marea Sol Hotel

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed in the room with a full ocean view, private balcony. While the view is lovely, the street noise is a bother. Parking is available on site for $25 a day. The parking lot is SUPER funky. Only 1 way in and the same way out. The location was perfect for the beach or the Boardwalk or the pier. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed."

Carousel Beach Inn

Carousel Beach Inn

8/10 Good
"Such a cute place! Great location to the boardwalk we didn’t need to bring so much because going back to the hotel to grab beach stuff was so convenient. The only thing they can improve on is the hot water, it was pretty lukewarm for every shower. But the staff was super friendly, it’s close to the boardwalk and the place had personality which i loved!"

Casablanca On The Beach

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent
"I initially wasn’t happy with having no one to check us in when we are first arrived however, once that situation was fixed were more than pleased with our room and we also had a great view of the beach from our balcony. Very big room only problem is they have no carpet on the floor it’s the fake plastic floor, which is noisy when you walk on it at night overall very good experience and will go back there again."

"Absolutely loved our stay. Great and friendly staff. Valet was super welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The treadmills weren’t working. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel. The location was in close proximity to the beach and downtown which was perfect. Overall it was amazing and would definitely book again."
