The property was not as advertised. Was a bit disappointed was not aware there was a $34 per day "resort fee". No one was able to explain what the fee covered. So i just paid, but would like to know.
Room was ready a little early so was able to get in when arrived. Staff was very polite and courteous. Noticed room floor needed to be cleaned and vacuumed more. Air conditioner is a little loud and toilet would run. View was nice with oceanfront room. Overall weekend stay was enjoyed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very nice location to the beach. Love the beach chair rental service and ability to get poolside drinks but very limited menu which is disappointing . The pool was not the cleanest with all of the sunscreen floating and there could be more chairs around the pool. Rooms really nice with great views.
We checked in around 8:30, got to the room everything looked good. Me and my girlfriend went down to the lobby to look around, we were looking at the coffee shop menu and the lady worker comes over. She was not happy to see use, she took a big sigh and came over. She asked “really, coffee at this hour?” and proceeded to say she gets off at 9 and was upset that she had to clean all of the equipment again before her shift ended. We then walked away due to the horrible customer service she then approached us trying to offer a drip coffee. We walked away and went back to the room.
The next morning I went to the manager to tell what happened and she offered a free beverage, I asked if we could have a later checkout and they said 12:30 would be the latest we could checkout.
Around 11 we hear a knock and with no warning the cleaning service came in and I was completely undressed getting ready.
Then the front desk called our room saying we had to leave and the room checkout was actually 11:30.
This was a bad experience and made me not want to come back to this hotel ever again.
This hotel checked all the boxes for my family and I. The rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. The food and drink at the restaurant were fantastic and the the kids loved the pool option after a day at the beach. Huge plus is the shittle that takes you to local restaurants and shopping in the area free of charge. Parking is a big question mark at WB so the shuttle is a no brainer.

It has great pools indoor and outdoor; great snack bar run a tab, great chair umbrella service; easy Che k in , nice restaurant; great location directly on beach. My favorite beach hotel in NC
The property is beautiful! Great location and excellent service from hotel and restaurant staff. The shuttle service was very efficient and the driver was friendly. There were a few minor inconveniences we encountered during our stay that resulted in a 4 star rating on an otherwise 5 star stay. Extra towels were not available when requested and we were told they would be delivered to our room later but they never arrived. There is a laundry room on each floor which is great but only one washing machine was working in the entire facility during our stay which made being able to wash our beach clothes difficult. Also, we witnessed one of the baristas in the coffee bar lick a spoon after stirring a drink she was preparing. The spoon went into the sink afterwards, but still not something you want to see when someone is preparing an order.
The hotel it’s self was clean and quiet only wish the rooms tvs had streaming services available like Netflix or prime video for use there wasn’t many options for tv.
