Gofer holes over entire terrain, completely dried out terrain, worst coffee, terrible housekeeping, dirty carpet, no windows to open, no air conditioning, no microwave, smoke from adjacent rooms filled my room the entire time, staff would not change my room. I left a day early and Expedia refused to refund my money . Will never go back to cavalier

No A/C but spectacular views

The view is amazing. The rooms are just old and dated. The toilet had feces on the seat when we first got here. I got a drink from the vending machine and it had expired in 2022. Also, there is no air conditioning. I was provided with a fan and told to open the windows. Our room doesn’t have windows and being on the bottom floor, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the door open while I slept. The view is incredible, but for the cost, not sure I’d be back

Don't go here!

This place was a huge disappointment. To be honest the only thing good about this place was the nice lady at check in and the location to the beach. Other then that this place is absolutely disgusting! After moving to our 3rd room because the first one smelled liked smoke and second one had ants, we still delt with dirty dirty carpet, a whole bag of chips under the bed,poorly working coffee pot and refrigerator, no ac, no towels for the pool and the leak of care that the staff had over these issues was disappointing. Then to top it all off on out main day there there was no power from 9am till after 8pm and the staffs solutions were that we could move to a different hotel and fight the 3rd party booked threw for refund and to give us 2 small tea lights and 2 glow sticks. I wouldn't recommend this place to someone I didn't like!

This was our first time staying at the Cavalier. We had an ocean front room with an amazing view! The staff were friendly at both the hotel and restaurant. Very pet friendly which is one of the reasons why we stayed. The room had everything you needed and was presented well. Close to both Cambria and the castle. Will definitely be staying there again.
