    Loved our room , loved the view . Ate at the hilltop restaurant for lunch and dinner . Lunch was wayyyy better than dinner . We got the sampler and it was awesome , chicken was soft and tasty , potato skins were good as well . Got chicken bacon ranch pizza and it was awesome. Got steak and cheese sandwich for dinner picked up to take back to room , also got more potato skins , steak and cheese was dry , I think it needed some dipping sauce or au jus or maybe just some mayo . We came up during a slight snow storm and I must say if we didn't have 4 wheel drive I don't think we would have made it up some of the hills . Awesome spot though

    My two Daughters & Granddaughter came for a girls getaway for a few days, lots to entertain a 4 yo and really, us adults had a blast playing in the pools and slides right along with her. It wasn't warm enough yet for the outdoor pools but we did use two of the playgrounds they have and certainly soaked in the views. I imagine in the Autumn it is stunning with the views of all the Mountains surrounding you. The frog pond and nets provided were fun and we caught a salamander, frog and tadpole. Lots of fun. We had menu choices picked out that sounded yummy, only to call and the restaurant not be open so no rating on the restaurant. We had a one bedroom suite which was spacious and clean on arrival. With a 4 yo we did need to vacuum up crumbs, however the vacuum was about the size of my granddaughters play vacuum but had no power to pick up any crumbs. The beds, wow, horrible. All three adults slept awful each night and woke up with backaches that are not normal for us. They seriously need to invest in better beds, for me, that would be a deal breaker on returning. You remove the garbage bags from your room to a big bin in the hallway that is communal for those rooms in that area. Although they are blue recycling bins, which I thought was really cool that they recycled, actually aren't recycling, it's for garbage. And they stunk the hallway up. At least the three days we were there. We did have a wonderful deck with chairs and a small table that we enjoyed sitting out and enjoying the air. Lastly, the stairs. Wow. I wasn't aware of the stairs. Everywhere. I have actually never been a witness to so many stairs to get around. I have some body issues on getting around but not to the point where walking or stairs affect me. I was affected. It definitely is a gorgeous huge property, Everyone we came in contact with were helpful. Wonderful options for kids to play and have a ton of fun. Just the beds and stairs were a challenge.

    It was our first time staying with the family of 4. We actually had a good time. The waterpark was a savior with kids time. The Gunstock is nearby for amazing tubing. The rooms were spacious and we had a balcony and a full kitchen. The restaurant was average.

    Stayed here for the Bronco Off Rodeo. Our room had a stunning view overlooking the lake. Our friend's room had a hot tub in the corner! We enjoyed the pool (with slide! And giant hot tub), the many hiking trails, and the smaller hot tub in the other building. The restaurant was nice! I was impressed by the smash burger. Driving up to the resort was a little bit like the shining... but we had an awesome time and would come back!

    I was invited to stay at Steele Hill with a friend of mine who got a discount on a 3 day stay in a two bedroom suite. It was gorgeous! We came up here for a dinner party and while I didn't have much time to view the entire property (this place is HUGE) everything I saw was impressive and the restaurant had plenty of options to suit my dietary needs. I can't eat gluten and there were so many different options for me I was actually shocked. The pool area (indoor) is aesthetically pleasing with a mushroom waterfall and waterslides, and a hot tub with plenty of room. The sauna is just a few feet away. There were more pools but it was too late at night to get to enjoy the other pools. The suite had two rooms which were decently spaced and the living room had a pullout too so there was plenty of space for all four of us. I'll be staying here again soon this place is stunning. Pro tip: visit this place during autumn when the leaves have all turned- the drive here felt like magic

    "Your feedback is appreciated" That was the subject of the email I received 7/11. I took the survey on 7/12. I gave a bad review and was prompted via an automated system to reach out to Steele Hills "Director of Operations". Robert Robillard. I sent the following email 7/12. Never heard back. Followed up 7/18. Never heard back. Sent another follow up tonight. Let's see if we hear back. Here's my experience Good evening. I stayed at Steele Hill for a second time this year over the weekend. I attended the Brew with A view event on Saturday. VIP tickets cost $65 each and advertised free food. We waited in line but by the time we got close, all of the food was gone. This was at 450 the latest. The front desk never provided any information about where the event was. The VIP event started at 4pm. Which is conveniently the time you're able to check in. We missed the first twenty minutes of the event. We had no idea where it was so had to track a worker down. He directed us down a double diamond hill to get to the event. This resulted in me spraining my ankle on the way down. We requested a wheel chair or crutches at the front desk the next day. They claimed they did not have either and we were forced to purchase something at a local pharmacy. After having to fill out an incident report. This was very troublesome, having rented a suite that requires a set of super sketchy/steep stairs to get in and out of. We waited for over an hour at the hilltop restaurant Saturday night. No speaker to announce when your table was ready. No text option to let you know when your table was ready. So a ton of people are just crammed together, hoping to hear if their table was called. People were having to check in with the hostess. You could tell this was very uncomfortable for the staff, which is very unfair to them. We went to the grill for lunch the next day. The one man show making all of the food and all of this drinks was clearly overwhelmed and on edge as a result. Internet was down so we couldn't even order from hilltop through him. We had to call them ourselves and assume we were charged the $7 fee as a result. Packing up the next day, we lifted up all the blankets, sheets and mattress covers to make sure we left nothing behind. Lifting up the mattress cover presented an enormous, fresh pee stain, which explains the smell we had in our room during our stay. I am seeking out my options now, but wanted to reach out directly regarding my experience first.

    Just worked with Penny to organize and finalize our wedding date and festivities. Penny could not have made it easier to solidify this big day for us. I highly recommend considering this 5 star venue and Penny to assist in your big day.

    This review is based on the restaurant only. Located inside the Shalimar Resort, the Shalimar…read moreLobster House is open for continental breakfast (7AM-10AM) and dinner (5PM-9PM). I had dinner in the dining room over the weekend at the start of Bike Week and I could hear the karaoke in full progress in the Pub area. There's a lobster tank with live lobsters (pick your own) as you enter the dining room. The casual dining room was dimly lit with hanging stained glass lights and candlelight at each table. The dinner menu offers appetizers, salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, chicken, beef, ribs, prime rib, pasta, seafood, lobster, kids menu, and desserts (cheesecake, chocolate lava cake, grapenut custard, ice cream, apple crisp ala mode). The prices are moderate to high ($12 and up), plus a full bar menu from the Peter's Pub. The regular menu can be seen at http://www.shalimar-resort.com I started out with a Diet Coke ($2), which was mostly ice in a Newbury Comics Thanksgiving 2007 pint glass. I have the same pint glass at home! I ordered the Baked Haddock Dinner Special ($14) which came with cup of soup or salad and rice, potato, or vegetable. I chose the soup which was New England Clam Chowder, which was a big disappointment with a lukewarm temperature, minimal very minced clams & tiny potato chunks in a thin milky broth. I should've got the salad. The dinner rolls with Cabot butter were hot & crusty. Since it was towards the end of the dinner service, the service took a while. The floor was really vibrating and shaking each time my waitress passed by the table. The Baked Haddock arrived 30 minutes after ordering, very hot and fresh & served with lemon, decent tasting. The rice pilaf was standard nothing special. As I was dining, the karaoke from the Pub was a bit comical with one guy singing female songs such as Torn by Natalie Imbruglia and Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes. I got a small chuckle to this very average meal. For dessert, I got the Warm Apple Crisp a la mode ($5) which was a good dessert served with vanilla ice cream and topped with whipped cream & butterscotch drizzle and a refill on Diet Coke ($2) with mostly ice. Overall, the meal was just okay, the chowder was the worst I've had since having a can of Snow's, which was still a lot better. The haddock was fresh and good and the apple crisp was homemade and good too. The service was paced, not the fastest, but not bad. I would give this place an overall 2.5 STARS, and deciding which way to round was finally determined, round down. Getting charged $4 for two Diet Cokes with 70 percent ice in the glass, is definitely not acceptable, especially at an average restaurant with moderate high prices for the area. If the place was fancy and the food was exceptional, then I'd expect it. Most chains in the area, even many independent restaurants I've been to will offer free refills on soda.

    The Food is phenomenal! The service is questionable :/ and the prices seem a little high to me but,…read morecomparative to another restaurant in the area, so Maybe I am just cheep. Like the other reviewer here I find it unacceptable to be charged for soda refills when ordering entrees. The price's must have gone up since each soda was now $2.50. They now serve the soda in a nice glass but, it's a tulip glass that seems small. I think the restaurant has recently been remodeled! It looks great and has very nice "muzac" playing in the background. From working in the industry minor things caught my attention.... We sat near the window to see the lake across the street and the underside of the awnings is gross! They had unlit candle holders at the tables made from cut liquor bottles. I think that with everything else so put together in the dinning room the looked cheezy. If they were cut well maybe they would work. The bathroom was dangerous! The floor was moist and slippery! The decor in the bathroom was "tried to fix but, didn't want to spend much" It was a conversation during dinner.... LOL! I will say again, the food was phenomenal! because we stayed at the resort over two nights we ate Lobster Alfredo, Chicken & Mushroom Penne in a red sauce, Chicken Marsala, Chicken & bacon Alfredo, and Baked stuffed Chicken. We also had some breads with oil, warm dinner rolls with butter, Minestrone soup and french Onion Soup! EVERYTHING was cooked to perfect! To be fair about the service The visit was during "off season" and although one night was Pete (the owner) who I would have "expected" ("expectations are premeditated resentments") to offer great service he was busy kicking off the new pasta buffet and over seeing things .... and we were the only customers he was "responsible" for. I think that interfered with his ability to really "wow" us. The second night was a little less "excusable" The restaurant was very slow and the waitress got involved in a in depth conversation with a guy in the bar area. Good news is she got SO involved I got a free glass of wine she forgot to punch in (oh, and not the type I asked for) ...... Seriously, The WHOLE time we were with her a table was leaving, the guy came in and than at the end of our meal another table came in ..... It was SLOW and she was not focused on her job. I would recommend the food! I just really hope they get a handle on customer satisfaction in the service area!

The drive to Plumb Island through Newburyport was the perfect introduction to our romantic, north shore getaway. Being from Phoenix, we look forward to our cold, winter adventure each year and neither of us had been anywhere north of Boston before. Before our arrival, communication with the Blue was informative and hand a personal feel. Obviously, the Blue caters to summer beach-goers, and the reserved parking area near the hotel would definitely be a huge plus for folks competing for parking spots, but in winter, there are very few people or cars on the entire island. The Blue is a quaint little hotel nestled on the beach in a neighborhood of New England beach homes. We were happily greeted at the front desk by Blue staff and the General Manager. They tendered to our every need and surprised us with a fabulous fruit and chocolate anniversary gift waiting for us in the room. The room was beautiful with a classic and modern beach feel. Sliding glass doors open up to a wooden deck with a fabulous view of the Atlantic Ocean. We could hear the crashing waves while sitting inside beside the gas fireplace to read. It was magical! Also magical was the bed! We haven't slept that well in years! The bed was so comfortable and my wife loved the pillows so much that she bought the very same ones for home the day we returned. And don't forget the two hot tubs! There is nothing quite as enjoyable as relaxing in a steaming, bubbling hot tub while it's snowing all around you. Honestly, the "hot tubs available" filter was probably what highlighted the Blue to me during my search for this trip. One hot tub is on the second floor deck, overlooking the beach and the second is hidden under the pine trees at the end of a short sidewalk across the street from the main building. Both were large enough for probably 6 people, clean and well maintained. Again, it was February so we had them all to our crazy selves the whole week. The beach is beautiful! There is direct, private access from the second floor of the Blue, via a wooden boardwalk. The beach is sandy with very few rocks. I didn't see any seaweed or anything washing up on shore, but it was February, so I didn't expect to see a whole lot of anything living coming out of the water. Every morning we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise over the ocean while we drank some local coffee delivered direct to the room. Oh yeah, breakfast! Each morning the staff dropped off and adorable wicker basket with fresh, local breakfast offerings plus that wonderful carafe of coffee. We had different breakfast each day, to include quiche, overnight oats, fresh fruit, biscuits, and bacon. Just the right amount for the two of us and we couldn't wait to see what breakfast surprise would arrive each morning. Although Plumb Island may feel remote from the business of the Boston-metro area, the location was great for dipping down to Salem without hitting any traffic, or popping up to New Hampshire for a sleighride through the forest. One morning, after a small nor'easter blew through, our SUV got stuck in the parking lot snow. No worries! The General Manager of the Blue came out to hail down a plow and personally helped push us out. Now that's service! Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Blue -Inn on the Beach to anyone looking for a romantic beach getaway. If you're looking for a less Metropolitan vacation with the proximity to get to Boston in under an hour, the Blue can't be beat. We will definitely be coming back. Maybe even in the summer next time!
