What couples highlight
“All the other staff was amazing, hotel was in a great location, the lady who worked the bar was super nice and hotel was clean, pool was clean.”

From the reviews
We stayed in room 106 front door walk out to the beach really enjoyed the stay but the showers outside don’t work by the room. Bummer but not the end of the world. Nice pool clean rooms. We had an issue with the toilet not flushing I called they sent someone immediately to fix it.
We had the absolute pleasure being greeted by two wonderful young ladies Allison and Asheika… we were nervous of what to expect after reading some of the reviews but they turned those worries right around with being nothing but professional and so sweet!
Our first time staying here, the view was amazing, the location was awesome, on the beach and not a long walking distance to the ocean. Not crowded at all. Decent parking. The staff was friendly. You can tell its an older hotel but it was still nice. Could have been a bit cleaner but it wasn't bad overall.
Room was great but little to no water pressure in bathroom made showering extremely difficult and AC was lacking. Luckily there were outdoor showers to supplement for the room shortfall. Overall we had a great vacation. Pool,deck lounging,tiki bar were all wins! The View was spectacular! B+
Getting married at Chateau Beachfront Hotel, A By The Sea Resort
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
