Pros +
- Location
- Our stay at the Cavalier Oceanfront was absolutely wonderful — we loved every minute of it! This trip was a surprise getaway for my boyfriend, and the hotel staff went above and beyond to help me with all my special requests. Their kindness and attention to detail made the experience feel truly special, and the complimentary bottle of champagne was such a thoughtful and lovely touch.The hotel is also incredibly dog-friendly, which meant so much to us. Our Border Collie had the best time and was thrilled to meet other furry friends during our stay.The view from the porch was simply spectacular — peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean atmosphere.This stay was worth every penny, and we are already looking forward to coming back!
- Beautiful location and scenery. Staff at hotel were amazing.
Cons -
- Rooms
- The hotel is not brand new and could use a little updating in some areas, but honestly, it did not affect our experience at all. We were totally amazed by the atmosphere, service, and overall charm of the place. Having breakfast included would have been a nice extra, but it definitely wasn’t a downside for us.
- Restaurant was ok.
