"Enjoyed myself"

"Family oriented place, great for families"

The Windstar Hotel - Emerald Isle / Swansboro

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Loved it was a 100% non smoking which meant the entire hotel smelled great. Nice pool. And learned they have a fire pit and grills for next time…. And there will be a next time."

Atlantic Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very good place to stay...we had a 2BR/2BA on the third floor which was great to be high where the breeze was cooler than below! Nice to have table outside if you wanted to sit out. Three TVs so accommodated us all nicely. Nice towels, soaps & lotions. An easy walk to the beach with access to outdoor showers. Multiple pools. A few minor things I'd wish were different: the elevator access and elevators were stifling hot. Small wall Acs are ancient and while on 24/7 did nothing to cool the space. Master bath had the light and vent on one switch and this can be disturbing at night or other times. NO bar in the shower! Ice took a long time to make and I'd advise someone turn it on BEFORE a check-in. VERY challenging coffeemaker! You are expected to clean-up before leaving including taking the trash out. And finally, we left behind some books and while there was a great app ("I Left My Stuff") to manage the return, the staff communications were muddled and contradictory."

Lighthouse Suites - Best Western Signature Collection
