We loved staying at the Tamarak for our spring break vacation! Staff were AMAZING and the hotel is right across the street from the beach! Breakfast was great and so convenient with the free parking. The only negative was the beds were so very hard and uncomfortable.

We enjoyed staying here overall and loved how close it is to the beach, dining and stores. Close parking and breakfast included were also a major plus! With that said, we felt that the room was in need of multiple upgrades. The shower head was tiny, the full length mirror was about to fall off the wall (which is a hazard with young kids), the sheer curtain on the slider door was obviously spotted all over with what looked like black mold, and the beds were not comfortable (felt like springs). It’s a great resort with a lot to offer guests, but the cleanliness and outdated room was disappointing.

Nice hotel, double check bed type

I love this hotel usually! This particular time I was giving a queen bed where the front desk tried to gas light me into thinking it was a king. It wasn’t. It’s a queen that’s advertised as a king. Other than that it’s a great stay!

Something to think about when you make your bookin

This is definitely a 3 star type hotel. The bottom rooms with balconies face a busy street with foot traffic right outside of the balcony. There is no privacy with the curtains open. It is very loud and noisy. The service was okay. The staff were friendly. If you want a better experience with a ocean view, request the upper stories.

The best part about the property is the proximity to the beach and the Village. Everything was walkable and the beach is directly across the street. Accommodations were fine. The mattress seemed a bit old. I was looking for a room with a patio, which is why I booked this property. But when we checked in there was no patio and we would have had to pay extra, even for an interior patio. The property was very clean and well maintained.

My room was equipped with HVAC units that is built into the sealing and it was extremely loud! It comes on with a loud click and a deafening bang and then runs at a decibel level comparable to a freight train. If you value sleep, bring ear plugs! Other options are: switch it off overnight or leave the fan on Run while you’re sleeping.
