Rooms much smaller than they look online. Pool towels should have been replaced ages ago. Pool staff are not people friendly and disappear frequently. Avoid Brew Pub. Servers are disorganized and have too many tables to cover. On the plus side, Avalon Prime was wonderful in every way: food, service and ambiance. Very expensive, but hey, it’s the shore! The casual restaurant has fabulous pizza!!!

The Windrift has it all.

Hands down the best hotel in Avalon! You can’t beat the beach front, beautiful pool, friendly staff, live music nightly, delicious menu options and beautiful rooms with private terraces. Their recent remodel is beautiful but it still maintains the Windrift vibe of years gone by - a major plus!

This used to be my go to place, but we were not told of the construction around the property and the noise and parking obstructions and swimming pool was closed when we arrived. We certainly don’t mind paying higher prices for exemplary food, but found the drink and food prices for average meals didn’t seem worth it.

The only thing I would tell people is to bring a shower caddy for the shower. There’s only one small shelf inside the shower. At least that’s what our room had.
