Top Atlantic Beach Hotel Reviews

Atlantic Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was great, front desk receptionist was very welcoming and informative. My stay was phenomenal, clean, inviting and fun. Thank you again Altantic Beach Resort, can't wait to return for another stay!!"

A Place at the Beach

8/10 Good

"The property is in a great location with lots of amenities, including 2 pools, a mini golf course, and activities like cornhole boards and athletic equipment you can borrow for lots of family fun. The wide beach offers plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the sun and sand. The check-in process, compared to other similar properties, is a bit of a pain, especially in the off-season when office hours are limited. Communication was plentiful but contradictory. One email I got said keys could be left in a dropbox after hours, but property staff said I had to pick them up. Getting to the room was an adventure, as there is a single elevator in each building, at one end. So... if you're carrying a lot of stuff and are staying on the 3rd floor at the other end of the building, you've got a hike on your hands. That hike takes you down a dark, dreary, and dated corridor with zero signage as to which way you should go. It left a terrible first impression. Once inside, our unit was also pretty dated. There was a tear in the linoleum, an unfinished wall where there may once have been a pocket door, carpeting (a pet peeve of mine in a beach place), and the teeniest tiniest of balconies. Parking was fine, but I can't imagine that there is enough in the busy summer season. Overall, we liked it, but I wouldn't book there again unless they did a major rennovation."

Sand Dollar Motel

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is what it says. Inexpensive, old, close to near by attractions. The AC are window units and noisy. The beds are comfortable, great water pressure and HOT water. At our time the resident staff person Jeanne was awesome. It’s a great place to have a clean room and shower. Fishing, weekend rest. But if you need more I’d suggest someplace else."

Bali Hai Resort, a Dazzler Select by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The room was newly renovated, and I believe we were either the first guests to stay in it or very close to it. Everything was extremely clean and looked just like the pictures. The location was great with easy, close access to the beach. 🌊 The hotel is still under construction, so not all of the hotel or amenities are available yet. Right now, it’s basically just the room, but that didn’t bother us for our stay. Once everything is finished, I think this is going to be an amazing place to stay! We would definitely come back. 😊"
