    Large lagoon with cabanas. No swimming or sitting in lagoons.
    Jennifer H.

    This was a lot minute trip so was surprised when I called that they had a room available. I was not expecting much so to my surprise was happy when we got our room. The front desk staff were so nice. Our room was beautiful. A bit small but I would say standard for the age of hotel but has been completely renovated and looks fresh and modern. View was amazing. There is a pool and hot tub. They also offer chairs and umbrellas to use. There are 2 lagoons (decoration only so no getting in) they are relaxing with the waterfall. There are cabanas around the large lagoon to lounge on. We did have an issue with one of our towels being dirty with what looked to be stains Pros: updated rooms Amazing view Free use of chairs and umbrellas Pool and hot tub Cons: no breakfast Lagoons seem to be a waste of space. Could benefit from making large one an adult only area and small one into splash zone for little kids.

    Great views, great prices, great hotel. Nothing fancy but as good as the Sheraton was next door.

    Always loved staying here. The staff is always friendly and helpfull. They do need a policy regarding the use of the hotel supplied umbrellas as people are rude and put their towels on them and leave. Some all day. They also need to extend pool hours past 9pm. Maybe the time after 9 for adults only.

    The fabulous view from our awesome room!

    See all

    Called last minute, was able to get a room for a few days. Our rooms were clean, staff was friendly, and the property was well maintained.

    DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Atlantic Beach Oceanfront - Guest room

    DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Atlantic Beach Oceanfront

    (158 reviews)

    $$

    DoubleTree by Hilton Atlantic Beach Oceanfront…read more I used electronic check-in, though I did stop by the front desk briefly to ask where the restaurant was before heading over for dinner about 40 minutes before closing. I'll cover that experience separately. Overall, the hotel delivered a solid stay. The room--707, oceanfront--was clean for the most part and well-equipped with everything you'd expect: refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker (filter-style pods), ironing board, hair dryer, and a television. Lighting is excellent, with plenty of lamps throughout the room, and there are ample AC outlets along with modern USB and USB-C ports, which is a nice touch. One feature that stood out was the small table with two chairs. It made a big difference since I ended up bringing dinner back to the room, and having a proper place to sit and eat comfortably is something not every hotel gets right. The room itself was spacious with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The view was great, and the setup made it easy to relax and enjoy the beachfront atmosphere. There was nothing wrong with the room--it was a solid, comfortable oceanfront stay. Parking is plentiful and free, which is always a plus in a beach area. One thing to keep in mind for this stretch of the coast: it tends to stay windy. Be prepared for strong winds and quick temperature changes, especially if you're spending time outside on the balcony or walking along the beach. Overall, a good, reliable oceanfront stay with the conveniences you want and a comfortable setup for relaxing by the water.

    Fast forward this a few years…read more I've probably stayed here on five or six occasions during summer, fall and winter. Like many have said, and it's the truest thing you can say about this hotel, you cannot beat the location and there is nothing in the immediate area which compares to it in that respect. Out the back door and there is the beach along with plenty of parking. Good/Bad/Ugly Time: Good: As mentioned prior, you cannot be the location. Having the balcony door open at night to the sound of the ocean is nothing short of perfect. When they have their outside beach bar open that's also not too bad for the view and the ambiance. No issues with any of the staff here over the years. If you're so inclined you can walk to the bar across the street (The Wheelhouse) or On the Rocks or slightly further is a very well stocked Dollar General that's only a few years old. It's also a short drive to The Food Lion, a McD's, ABC store and a few others. The key is to ALWAYS watch the hours of operation or else you will find out the hard way that McD's will close at 8pm or the better of the two pizza places in town is only open 4pm-9pm. It's not the end of the world as there are far more choices over in Morehead City. Bad: Yeah, the place is definitely dated. I believe it started life as a Sheraton in the late 80's and I think the AB area and the hotel have taken two fairly direct hurricane shots within the past 10-ish or so years. Am I willing to overlook the elderly quirks (although they are on board with Hilton's new streaming TV requirement)? Yes, without question but if you come expecting new/hip/modern, it's not happening. Also, plenty and I mean plenty of people are smoking various things on their balconies or in the hotel's outside courtyard area. If that is going to bother you.......I can't help you on that one. Ugly: Most of the food they serve simply isn't very good and/or it's not uncommon to find they are out of various menu items from their small menus or drinks from their small drinks list. If you have the F&B credit to play with, I guess do what you need to do but aside from maybe a burger at the outside beach bar, don't do it. Overall, whatever, I like this place because I love the area. It's truly a beach/area for beach lovers who want a quiet/pure/simple experience that's 180 of the crap in Myrtle/OCMD or anything in Jerz. Overall, God-willing, I'll be back.

We were able to check in earlier than the 3pm time given online. The girls and I went into the cutest room with whales painted on the walls above painted waves. We chose a double bed room. There were two beds, a small wooden table with two chairs, another wooden bench, a dresser, small fridge, and microwave. There is a vanity with a large mirror, and a tiny bathroom with a shower/tub and toilet. The room was clean, and very neat. We had plenty of towels, as well as extra blankets for each bed. The air conditioning was working great! This hotel has two different picnic/outdoor seating areas. One is outside the area where most of the rooms are. The other outdoor area is down at the other end of the property. They had chairs, picnic tables, a grill, and even bbq tools ready to be used. The girls played with beach balls, and we were able to just sit back and relax. Their hotel also has boat slips in a little gut out back. If you choose to bring your boat, they're ready for you! The lady/owner got us into our room and was so nice. She explained the layout, and rules of the hotel. (No pets, no smoking, quiet time began at 10pm). She was so sweet. This is definitely a family-run business and is geared toward families. There is beach access directly across the road, but we took the short drive down to the Fort Macon beach area. The Caribbe Inn is close to the Morehead bridge, many restaurants, stores, beach shops, and other places you might need while at the beach. We had such a nice stay, and enjoyed our time away. We girls ate out, played on the beach, slept very well at night, and had a great stay at the Caribbe Inn! We will be back!

    Room floor was so dirty my feet got dirty walking on it. I complained and asked them to mop. They…read moresaid they did while I was gone but when I came back it still had grit and sand? on it. I spilled something on the bed so I pulled the sheets up from the mattress. When I came back later they just laid the sheets and blanket back down. I again had to go to the desk and ask for service. Went to the pool and some substance was floating in the corner. It looked like vomit. I alerted the staff and they said it was just pollen and suntan lotion. Pollen in late July? Was informed by other guest that 2 days prior someone had been vomiting in the pool and they never cleaned it. A guy came out with a paper towel and skimmed the water but it is very much still there.

    (This visit was made during the times of Covidious. When things return to a look of normality -…read moreyour experience likely will vary.) It's a bizarre time to be reviewing most things because Covid has obviously thrown off the "normal" into many shades of grey. With that said, take this one with a grain of salt as it's only a brief snapshot in time for how things are now. In another month or two, who knows? Let's start with the good: The location to the beach couldn't be any better. Just a short walk and you're there. The hotel was sold out or near it every night we were there yet the beach area directly across the street was never busy. The same as last year with seeing the same families and people every day more or less set up in the same spot very spread out from each other. All Covidly perfect. Not so good: Hilton Honors benefits at check in are still a no here, just like last year. The beds are extremely squeaky. Any sitting/moving = high pitched squeaking. The hotel is not following the new Hilton/Lysol cleaning protocol that started a few weeks ago. No stickers on the room doors or verbiage anywhere on property. I was told at check in that if you want your garbage taken to have it in the hallway early in the morning so that housekeeping could grab it and that the only way to get fresh towels or any bedding was to stop a housekeeper in the hall with your old stuff or bring your old stuff with you to the front desk since the hotel was running extremely low. Is the hotel's linen par really that low? Is the smell of that much garbage-food in the hallways overnight a good idea? Our room was dusty/sandy when we checked in and the a/c unit was filthy. No way were either cleaned thoroughly in a while. But since there was no daily housekeeping and with the hotel being sold out the day we checked in... If you want a hotel that has a great beach location that is out of the way and quiet, this is it. Past that, things were on the dirtier side in general and I question any place not following the new cleaning protocol. Time to give this one a rest for a bit.

    I had to work in this area in October. Unfortunately, the chain hotels and most other lodging…read moreproperties still have rates as if it was still the tourist season. The most reasonable rates I found were at the Oceanana. Several good things to say about this facility. There is a lot of open space for your beach enjoyment. Rocking chairs are there for you to enjoy. There's an outdoor pool, a couple of picnic areas, shuffleboard courts, a children's play area, access to the beach, and a free fishing pass at their pier. There's also plenty of access to water hoses to wash the sand off you or your stuff, and a clothesline with clothespins to hang your wet suits or towels. Instead of your standard mini soaps and shampoos, there are wall-mounted containers for soap, shampoo, and conditioner. I also found the staff I dealt with to be friendly. I booked the economy room. Two double beds, shower, cable tv, mini-fridge, free wifi. No frills decor, nothing fancy. Quiet surroundings. Had a small problem with the tv, and maintenance addressed it quickly. For a price that's about half of what the chains wanted, it was a good stay for me. I wouldn't suggest the economy rooms for families or business professionals needing a place to meet with clients or employees. If you are ok with a basic no-frills room or if you are there for the fishing opportunities, it's a good option.

    The pictures of the rooms on the website are highly misleading. Our room had to date back to the…read more1980s if not before. The sliding door to get into the room was so antiquated and almost impossible to open, close, lock, and unlock. The stovetop, bathroom, etc were probably as old as me or older (I'm an 80s child). The sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable. The pool area was beyond old. We were highly disappointed, will never return and won't recommend to anyone. The whole place needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Oh and let's not forget the lovely view of the trailer park! I can't believe we spent $350/night! Ugh!! Finally, several staff members were totally unfriendly!!
