"The property is beautiful, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Unfortunately, when we woke up after our first night, there was no running water in the RV. That had a significant impact on our stay, especially given the price. We would have appreciated knowing about the water situation before booking."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property. We loved the room they gave us! It had a king bed, a real fireplace, a deck, and a partial ocean view. It felt so peaceful as it was away from the main buildings. There is one other room next door, which might have changed things, but it was vacant during our stay, so it felt like we had our own little getaway. The room could use a little TLC here and there, but it was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The TV and fireplace worked great. The woman at the front desk who checked us in was so sweet, and it was probably the quickest hotel check-in we’ve ever had. They even gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne. The property is huge and right on the beach, and the evening sunset fires were really fun. We sat around the fires chatting with other travelers, which gave the whole place such a friendly, welcoming feel. We did not try the pool areas."
