Loved our stay here. Room is large, clean and comfortable. Janis, at the desk was welcoming and helpful. There are some nice extras including an umbrella and chairs, waiting for you on the beach. Walk to the beach or a bit longer to the village. You could manage here without a car.

Good hotel, overall a little overpriced. We had a nice stay. The room was clean, worn-in but comfortable. Air conditioning & WiFi worked well. Appreciated having a well working mini fridge and microwave in our room. They charge $25/night for parking which isn’t unusual for a hotel except it’s pretty necessary to have a car just to be at the hotel and there isn’t another option to park nearby. It’s just an up-charge tacked on for the busy season, I would rather have it rolled into the daily rate as it’s pretty unavoidable and leaves you feeling a little swindled. They offered a lot of nice perks like 2 free vouchers for mini golf next door, 2 free beach chairs & 1 parasol rental, botanical garden vouchers, 2 complimentary cans of alcoholic beverage as well as a discount for the seafood house right next door. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was so-so. Between the distance from beach & additional parking fee, I found the hotel to be on the pricey side for what you get. The vouchers for perks were appreciated but I wouldn’t say they offset the overall value.

Great service and ammenties

My partner and I wanted to take a weekend trip to Bethany without having to shell out a bunch for renting a house. The hotel was a bit further from the beach than intially expected, but the walk wasn't bad at all. The staff let us check in early and park at the hotel since we arrived way before check in. Room came with vouchers for 2 chairs and an umbrella which was very nice as we didnt have to lug our chairs with us. It also came with 2 Orange Smash drinks which were good too (just make sure to give them a shake before drinking!) And free mini golfing next door which was fun to kill time with. The pool was very clean and not over- chlorinated and there was a nice cute pond on the property. Definitely would stay here again next year.

You could not beat the location! Easy walk to the beach and mini golf in your backyard. The pool was clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! There were a few extra perks they pointed out which we took full advantage of. The only drawback was that there wasn’t daily housekeeping but we were only there for a few nights and picked up after ourselves. I appreciated that there was a fridge to keep drinks cold and microwave just in case you wanted to heat up a snack. We would definitely plan to return in the future!

The property and the staff were nice. I did not however like that the bathtub had floor stickers in it, didnt seem sanitary. I am not sure if all tubs had them or if a guest placed them there but you could see the dirt gathered around and under them. I also enjoy that they are flexible after check out for guest to use the outdoor showers to rinse off after visiting the beach on our last day.
