The Shores - Apr 2012
Great hotel. Great staff. Rooms were awesome & we splurged for the balcony (best decision). We kept saying we would definitely stay here again. It is away from the main strip/pier area (another plus) so a rental car will save you money and time.

I am glad the beach was there
Pool was closed down after the first night. Although pets are allowed in hotel rooms, they don't tell you that they are not allowed anywhere else!!! This was not a good thing for us or our Abigail. We had to drive over 7 miles away from the hotel to be able to take Abigail to the beach.

GREAT HOTEL/LOCATION
GREAT HOTEL, GREAT LOCATION, GREAT LOBBY, GREAT POOL/BAR AREA AND ACCESS TO BEACH. The pillows just need to be a little firmer; and the toilets are so small only a child can be comfortable on them. Our TV remote worked sparingly; suggest check batteries more often.

great time!
We had a wonderful time at the hotel. The local area was somewhat disapointing, we had hoped it to be more like Atlantic City, I guess. But once we got into "relax mode" after a few days, we had the best time. Mornings on the beach with the luxury of the umbrellas and lounge chairs already set up, for a small fee, lunch at the Tiki bars, a dip in the pool and back to the beach for some more sun, waves and pure pleasure and rest. The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. We missed being with the kids, although that was years ago. This is a great place for famlies, especially those with very small ones. Seeing so many famlies made our hearts melt and brought us back many years. We loved it all.

Loved the Beach
Great hotel
We got manicures and pedicures at the hotel spa..nice but very expensive and did not even last 5 days. However, the hotel was nice, staff was very friendly and very accomodating. The price of the rooms was reasonable but drinks and food were pricey.

It's a short drive from the hotel to the lighthouse at the inlet. I would recommend visiting the lighthouse while you're there.
