"Upon arrival, we learned that there was no beach access from the hotel property. The County or State was working on the beach and had the access completely blocked. I know this is not the hotel’s fault and it cannot control what happens on the beach. My issue is this had been going on for weeks and the hotel should have notified guests with reservations that this was occurring. What is the point of booking an oceanfront hotel if you don’t have beach access? On my previous stay here, you could walk straight down to the beach and rent chairs/umbrellas, etc. Not this time and with no notice, we were completely unprepared. So we had to locate a store, buy chairs, umbrella, etc., and then find public beach access. Again, my issue was no communication -in advance - from the hotel that this was going on. If there had been any prior notice, I could have changed plans, prepared better or decided to cancel the trip. Hotel is fine but be careful."
