The Beach Retreat and Lodge is a great place to stay. The location was awesome, the beds were super comfortable and when you walked out of the lobby into the back of the hotel, a lovely resort awaits you. Being right on the magnificent Lake Tahoe with a beach/ chaise lounges and a tiki bar makes for a wonderful stay!

Super cute place with lake views. There was a tiki bar right on the beach which was a great place to socialize and grab a drink. You could rent beach chairs and cabanas from the tiki bar too. The bartender at one of the restaurants was super nice and helpful and the restaurant above the pier had amazing views. They offered smores kits for free every night, which we enjoyed at one of many of fire pits on the property. Additionally the property was really close to a lot of convenient places like Heavenly Gondola, the casinos, the outdoor concert venue, and a 15 min drive from Emerald Bay. I would 10000% stay here again.

All in all we had a great time. There were a few things I was not happy about but for the most part it was great. If you have issues with stairs ask for ground floor or building with elevator. We had to carry our bags up to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Tiki bar was fun , fire pits all around. Great crowd and ambiance
