Royal BMay 6, 2017Hotel was amazing, breathtaking views, great food the only downside was construction going on right on top of my room.
Donna RaglandSeptember 25, 2013We stay here every year. Love it. Have always bought our own water wherever we go. The location is beautiful & staff is very friendly.
It should be noted that the water tastes like that on the entire island; it's not specific to this resort. It's "beach water" :)
Latisha ThompsonMay 11, 2013Our room was absolutely amazing!! I felt like i was a queen living on the beach!!
Ashley IlichJuly 25, 2013Water smells and tastes horrible! Suggest you bring your own bottled water unless you want to be charged $4/bottle here! Room was above average, views beyond gorgeous! Overall good experience
April WilliamsApril 22, 2013Not the cleanest rooms, it's clear the housekeeping staff doesn't really take pride in their work. Views of the sound and the ocean are what you are paying for. Restaurant is ok, but pricey.
Lauren LoganAugust 25, 2013Nice place & I would stay here again even with the stinky water, smells like bad eggs
The water here is gross! Bring bottled water! Elevators are super Slow and really hot inside. Taking the stairs is quicker.
Darren ClaytonMay 20, 2018After paying $300+ dollars for a room they still wouldn’t budge on the $25 charge for a late checkout. Plus the service at the restaurant and hotel was subpar. Won’t be staying here again.
Mel WilsonJanuary 1, 2011Food is average...drinks are pretty good. Beach view is excellent. Onto #2011 party.

"Gorgeous rooms, great views to the beach. If you're located on the 3rd floor walk to the 2nd floor takes you directly to the beach. This is a view from the 2nd floor"

"Not too crowded, clean beach. Good public facilities (changing rooms, showers, etc). Lovely even when overcast, great surf too. Water was super warm (beginning of August)."

"The best public access on Wrightsville beach. Secluded beach spots guaranteed. Always crowded, but you can understand why."
