The staff are the beating heart of a wonderful vacation resort right on the beach. The hotel itself is lovely, the pools clean and refreshing, the beach easily accessible and the food at the Tradewinds was delicious. I can not sing the praises of the staff enough. Everyone was helpful, knowledgable and friendly.

Property was nice. Rooms were ok - clean. Signage not great - first time there is difficult to know where office/registration is because the property is on two sides of the street. Pools and beach access were nice. Close to boardwalk.

We stayed in the building on the beachside. The pool was great and having the private beach access was nice too. The main hotel has a couple of dining options and they also provide a shuttle bus service to travel around point pleasant and the boardwalk was within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

The location is great. However, Our room smelled of urine. The AC was very loud. The beach is great. However on check out day they force you to move your car by check out time at 11am to the street which is not ideal if you plan to stay at beach for day.
