Great property close to the beach. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. If you are seeking a pool for whatever reason, then seek elsewhere. Pool on property is tiny. Biggest pro is the proximity to beautiful beach.

Our stay was amazing!! Rooms were clean and spacious and beds were comfortable. Loved the beach access!! My only complaint was that the pool closed at 830pm we were not even back from dinner by then. Would love to have gone for a night swim but couldn't. Pool should be open till at least 11. Thank you for a memorable stay we will definitely be back.

The property was really nice, the pool bar was more of a pizza place that served drinks. but right by the pool. There is a nice walkway to the beach. Not many restaurants in the area and they are very crowded in the evening. There is a restaurant in the hotel but we did not get to try that. Really nice place to stay!

Great location and great views from the rear rooms facing the beach. Beach access very helpful via wood bridge from pool. Pool was clean and nice temp, but maybe could’ve used a deeper end for the adults. Room service was great. No included breakfast, but good food spots nearby.

Overall, it was okay. The water pressure sucked and it has the most complicated shower water mechanism Ive ever seen, good luck getting the water off and the temperature correct. Also, Water takes a good 2 - 3 minutes to get hot. But...it does have beach access and the beach area was never crowded, compared to other areas. Price was okay too.

The establishment is clean and smells fresh and inviting which can be a challenge on the beach. The Italian restaurant has good food asking with the pizza spot by the pool. I wish umbrellas and chairs were supplied or could be prepaid for. Parking was nice under the building. The pool was clean and warm. Thrilled with our experience!!

very clean except one pillow case appeared to have old blood on it. It may have been laundered but stained but likely should not have been used. Great staff beach view was consistent with what was offered on the website room One of the best parts of the stay was having Vincenzos in the building. Food was awesome and servers were the best.

This was our first time staying at the Sundrift Inn and we were pleasantly impressed. The location was great. We had an ocean view room which was very comfortable. We never had to leave the hotel for our meals. We had dinner at Vincenzo’s Italian Bistro in the hotel and it was top notch and very delicious. We also had pizza for lunch at Bucetti’s which is located next to the pool. The owner of Bucetti’s was very friendly and the food was great. And of course the beach was gorgeous and the entire experience was simply amazing! We can’t wait to go back again soon.

The room was super clean. Access to beach was so convenient and the beach was also very clean. The check in and check out process was easy. The only glitch was that in the morning I ordered a breakfast burrito and had to wait for almost half an hour for it to be ready. That service could have been faster
