We stay at the Cape Rey every Christmas to visit family in the area. They have a great location on the beach and great amenities as well as nice rooms to choose from in case you want to entertain. Chandlers and the small food shop on the first floor supply any food and drinks you need.

The location was amazing, the staff were all friendly and festive as the holidays were near and having a heated pool and hot tub were amazing for a December vacation. We loved the robot that brings snacks to the room (a highlight for the kids) and the cleaning services went above setting out our kids stuffies to make cute bed and room ornaments when we'd return for the day. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and having credits at the mini-mart were convenient Overall it was a great stay!

Beautiful lobby and fantastic bar to watch the game. We loved soaking in the jacuzzi. The coffee service in the morning is fantastic and so are the free bikes to ride by the beach.
