Top West Beach Hotel Reviews

Castillo Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Grounds very clean, rooms clean and spacious, staff were friendly."

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, loved the balcony view of the beach and pool. Enjoyed spending time on the pool deck, relaxing in the sun. Only stayed 2 nights so didn’t get to partake of the amenities such as s’mores, bikes, jacuzzi etc but appreciated the fact they were offered. Staff friendly and professional, especially the valets. Would recommend!"

Harbor View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Harborview Inn Hotel. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the grounds were well kept. The location is a huge plus—you’re right across from the beach and within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna, which were both nice and relaxing. The only downside was that the hotel buildings are split across from each other, so you do have to walk a bit to get to the pool. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay and a great spot if you want to be close to the beach."
