Family Vacay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Fantastic location, Incredible Cuisine, Fluffy pillows. The staff is wonderful, our family was floored by the quality of the cuisine in this boutique hotel. The room was very nice, and the view was gorgeous. We had so-so weather, but on the sunny days the trails are very peaceful.

Amazing Oceanfront Stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

This hotel exceeded my expectations! The location, right off the ocean, was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The Loft Suite was incredibly spacious and offered more than enough room to spread out and enjoy. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for comfort and breathtaking views!

Was it Even Work?

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Work trip: The staff was extremely professional, helpful, and personable. The rooms were impeccable. The food was incredible (humbling, really). The views were stunning! My favorite part was their dedication to conservation and staying green. They practically had to kick me out..! Shoutout to Steven with F&B for his amazing service and friendliness throughout our stay. :)

Beach Suites

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We stayed in one of the Beach Suites. The room was beautiful and well appointed. The porch looking onto the Ocean was great. It had 2 rocking chairs and 2 regular chairs. It was really nice to sit out there. It was a little awkward that the porches all are next to each other so if someone is outside on their porch you really don't have any privacy. You can hear people below you and next to you talking on their porches. We enjoyed walking on the boardwalk to get to the Ocean and walking on the Ocean. It was very nice. We also ate several meals at Sea Glass Dining. It is a very small dining room so you really do need reservations. The Lounge across from the dining room had first come first serve meals and it was very crowded with people waiting for someone to leave so they could sit down. The quality of the food was exceptional and the service was great. The only down side is that you have to bundle up and go outside to get from the Beach Suite to the main building that has the restaurants. Overall a nice get away.

My favorite place to go.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

My favorite place to go every year at this time. The weather is cool but not too cold. The beach is beautiful for a walk. Close to Portland for some great food. Very relaxing and serene. Look forward to going every year. The best part is we get to stay at a great hotel with our dog.
