"We had a great stay! The room was newly renovated, and I believe we were either the first guests to stay in it or very close to it. Everything was extremely clean and looked just like the pictures. The location was great with easy, close access to the beach. 🌊 The hotel is still under construction, so not all of the hotel or amenities are available yet.

Top Atlantic Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Alice At Atlantic Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Short walk to beach."

Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here a couple of days in September and loved it. We were on the top 7th floor with a great view of the ocean and beach from the balcony and inside from our bed. It was like living in a dream. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again when traveling that way again."

Sand Dollar Motel

8/10 Good

"Can't expect excellent standards at a motel that must be at least 70 years old. But considering its age, it was very, very well worth the money. The hardwood floors appeared to be new, as was the mattress, the TV, the paint, and the shower. The window AC was noisy, but kept the room artic cold (had to clean the filter screen). I would stay here again."
