The Windstar Hotel - Emerald Isle / Swansboro

The Windstar Hotel - Emerald Isle / Swansboro

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was very friendly and helpful as always. This is our second stay at this hotel and this will definitely be our go to place to stay when we are in town! The owner is super friendly. We met him at the front desk the first time we stayed there. He was more than happy to tell us about great places to eat and visit while in town. We also saw him again while we were sitting by the pool. He was doing some work to the new lounge are they just added behind the pool. He stopped and spoke to us and asked if we were enjoying our stay and again was very friendly. We highly recommend this hotel!"
