5 Star Experience at Surfer Beach Hotel My stay at Surfer Beach Hotel was absolutely wonderful! The hotel was spotless, quiet, and located in a fantastic area, making it the perfect getaway. Its proximity to the beach and nearby attractions added to the convenience and overall experience. The staff truly stood out they were incredibly friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. If you’re looking for a clean, peaceful, and well-situated hotel with outstanding service, I highly recommend Surfer Beach Hotel. It’s a gem, and I’ll definitely be returning!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room which I booked was unclean so the staff offered an upgrade to a front ocean view; I loved the view; the staff was very nice. But the property is in a poor condition. The carpet in my upgraded room is dirty with dark spots. The coffee pot is unclean. The ice bucket has dust inside. Overall, it was just average.

The view was what I expected, but the pillows were extra lumpy, the faucet on the shower dripped on and off all night, and it seemed very moist with decorations. Also, the garbage truck came at 6:15 AM both Sunday and Monday mornings

This is an older hotel. It’s well-located. The staff is attentive and friendly. They were able to check us in early which was greatly appreciated. The room overlooked a roof and that wasn’t ideal. We could have requested a change but the room was spacious so we went with it. If I had a do over, I’d request a room change. I’m sure they would accommodate. Best staff ever!! Hope they’re appreciated!!!!!

My goal was to find an affordable dog accepting room with a perfect ocean view from my balcony. It was perfect for that need. The king sized bed was really comfortable. There was a refrigerator but no microwave (although stated), no chairs other than outside balcony, and the shower was pretty small and old. The location was perfect - never had to drive anywhere.
