Amazing Ocean Views

The oceanfront room I stayed in was amazing. Not only was it spacious and well-appointed, but the view of the crashing waves was amazing. I loved being able to hear the ocean from my room; it truly felt like a slice of paradise. The comfortable bed made for restful nights, and the privacy was an added bonus.

Family-Friendly Fun

The facilities at Cavalier Oceanfront Resort are perfect for families! My kids enjoyed the giant chess and checkers games on the lawn, as well as cornhole. There were also fire pits for roasting marshmallows. The outdoor activities kept them entertained and allowed us quality family time in a beautiful setting.

Relaxing Outdoor Spaces

I loved the outdoor spaces provided by the resort. There were comfortable benches strategically placed for ocean views, and the fire pits created a cozy atmosphere in the evenings. It was a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day of exploring the area. The whole atmosphere felt peaceful and serene, a true escape.

The hotel boasts an incredible location with breathtaking ocean views and easy access to the nearby beach. While the room had its drawbacks, such as dated decor and a persistent odor, the overall experience was enjoyable. The service was mostly attentive, although there was a bit of a rush during check-in. Dining options weren't satisfying, particularly when the restaurant refused to accommodate us late in the evening, which added to the frustration. Overall, I appreciated the area's beauty and the cozy atmosphere, despite the few bumps.

My stay at the hotel was a wonderful experience, especially as a dog owner. The oceanfront location allowed my furry friend and me to enjoy beautiful views and access the beach easily. The grounds, complete with fire pits, were perfect for socializing, but I did find the rooms a bit outdated. Overall, it's a great spot, albeit with some room for improvement in the room updates.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel.

The hotel has an amazing oceanfront view and is situated in a convenient location for a quiet stay. The staff is attentive and the room was spacious and comfortable. However, not everyone may find it ideal as it resembles a drive-up motel more than a resort, and there were issues with cleanliness in some areas.
