Top Sail Bay Hotel Reviews

Catamaran Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Location is so much Good safe walking to the bar restaurant and beach 😎 people vibe amazing"

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our bayfront room was beautiful and comfortable. The front desk was very kind and sent a complimentary bottle of wine to our room as we celebrated our 25th anniversary, having been married on the William D Evans in 2001. Apart from the low pressure and lag in hot water coming out of the shower, and the curtains not quite closing fully, we very much enjoyed our stay. The price was a tad high for a Sunday night at $460 incl fees, but the king size bed and thermostat made it an extremely comfortable over night stay. The proximity of the Bahia to both the bay and the ocean, is fabulous! We rented bikes and enjoyed a ride down the boardwalk. Thank you to the Bahia and staff for a lovely anniversary stay!"

Ocean Park Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location, pool small but nice. Breakfast was a nice benefit. Hallways and lobby not air conditioned. Elevator very slow. Staff all friendly and helpful."

Surfer Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is amazing! The portable air conditioner was inconvenient and loud. The room had a damp ocean smell but that is to be expected. The floor was sandy but the room itself was clean and tidy."
