"We had a great stay! The room was newly renovated, and I believe we were either the first guests to stay in it or very close to it. Everything was extremely clean and looked just like the pictures. The location was great with easy, close access to the beach. 🌊 The hotel is still under construction, so not all of the hotel or amenities are available yet.

Top Atlantic Beach Hotel Reviews

Palm Suites Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, had 2 TVs did not have to fight over TV."

Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. The property has a lot of nice features. They have a restaurant that serves good food, a nice area to sit outside , a tiki bar , and a nice swimming pool as well. We loved that they had umbrellas and chairs on the beach which were free and on a first come first serve basis. We loved sitting on the balcony overlooking the pool, beach and ocean. We plan to return again."

Sand Dollar Motel

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is what it says. Inexpensive, old, close to near by attractions. The AC are window units and noisy. The beds are comfortable, great water pressure and HOT water. At our time the resident staff person Jeanne was awesome. It’s a great place to have a clean room and shower. Fishing, weekend rest. But if you need more I’d suggest someplace else."

Atlantic Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This property is HUGE.. my fiancée and I had plenty of room for the two of us. We will be renting again in the near future for the Seafood Festival and additional vacations. The location is perfect, as we were only 7 minutes away from the festival. The check-in and overall process were immaculate, clean, and had plenty of towels, and wash clothes. We never had to ask for anything additional for our vacation. Thank you for a wonderful and safe stay 😊"
