3. You can rent two beach chairs and an umbrella for 35.00 a day. ( yes really)
Lobby looks nice, and the rooms have excellent ocean views. HOWEVER, the rooms were awful -- tired, worn, and sad. Our family stayed in two units, and both were plagued with flies. We asked for help with flies four times; housekeeping sent us a broken fly swatter. When l complained at checkout, the person at the desk said that they "didn't have any spray." Neither his mother nor his high school teachers would have accepted such a lame answer. ("I didn't do my homework because l didn't have a pencil.") Management needs course in problem solving.
A little pricey, but well worth it! All rooms/apartments are ocean front. Indoor and outdoor pools. Enjoyed great drinks at the bar and the food in the restaurant looked delicious. Did not disappoint at all. Wrightsville Beach is the most peaceful serene place in the south when your enjoying it from this resort.
Pros: Great view of the ocean and the inside of the room was very spacious; it provided more room than you'd get in a regular hotel room with a separate bedroom. Having a separate kitchen/dining/living room area was great. However, the outdoor hallways, "fitness room", elevator area, and other common areas were very outdated and beat up looking. It needs a total makeover to take it out of feeling like 1990 (we were here over a year ago but I doubt anything has changed based on other reviews). The restaurant food was ok. Had a rude waitress at breakfast, so later I gave feedback and the mgr. responded with a nice email. For the lofty price, it was not worth it. We will be staying at a more modern hotel resort in Wrightsville Beach the next time.
5. Overall the property is well worn.
2. Of the three couples we talked to while at the resort, two requested a room change at check in because of the condition of the room( that is 3 of 4 of us).
Beautiful location, right on the beach at the end of Wrightsville. Rooms are a bit dated and weren't especially clean. The front desk service was just okay. Breakfast at the restaurant was about average, but with spectacular view of ocean. Outdoor pool and jacuzi looked to be in good shape, although I didn't go in because it was in 40's outside.
4. Don't expect your room to be serviced every day, like in most hotels. Quote from Management " We can find people to hire".
Won't be back.
First , rooms are owned by individual's and the place is run by a management company. They do not determine quality of the room, that is set by the individual room owners.
1. Many of the rooms are dumpy and not maintained. ( like in a nice hotel) . The rooms were given out to guests based on the longest from last rental.
