Stayed at the hotel last night. It is a beautiful hotel! The entire hotel was incredibly clean; the beds were very comfortable; the food was delicious and the heated pool was a perfect temperature and was quite relaxing. Although the Rooftop Bar was not open, we were still able to sit there and admire the view.
My husband and I live in central/ northern Queens and never really venture to the Rockaways. When we had an out-of-town guest from Chicago, I thought we she might appreciate seeing the ocean as Chi-town only has their lake. We were not disappointed. Restaurant was GREAT about reservations and communicating ahead of time. They called me because my online reservation conflicted with a private party; they also texted beforehand and so I was able to ask about parking valet use. The parking valet is KEY if you visit in summer because everyone is driving to the beach and looking for parking. Valet was about $30 but worth it. The Hotel is beautiful, clean with fun-yet-elegant decor. The rooftop is really stunning though with both bay and ocean sides for sitting, eating and drinking. The ocean side is very windy and not covered. The bay side also looked like it had more comfortable chairs but we only sat on the ocean side and indoors. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, and the guac and chips for appetizers. Shrimp was amazing and I wish we had tried the other seafood! (We make guac at home so I am hard-to-impress with that but their chips are homemade at the Rooftop, which was a nice touch and yummy.) For entrees, my husband had the carnitas soft tacos and my friend and I both ordered flatbreads. All good but I think this place might have great seafood so we will have to be back to try more of the Raw Bar. All of us LOVED our drinks: Shark Bite and EZ Pass are best. Waitress explained that these two favorites made it over from the old drink menu. EZ Pass is a soft purple -so pretty and instagram-able, but Shark Bite is made with tequila and more savory so that was my fav. Overall is was a bit over $300 for 3 people to eat, drink, explore cool art, and get parking included. Keep in mind you could park here and do the beach during the day while using this place as your lunch and dinner chillax spot for when the sun gets too strong. We saw people coming in right off the beach in flips flops and cut-off's. There was a few bachelorette parties too. I can't recommend enough for a fun urban summertime that is a break from Manhattan but still brings that classy, vibrant vibe.
The staff here is the best and they go above and beyond for all ??
Beautiful wonderful but the door man didn't know what he was doing. We made reservations he couldn't find it then I get an email saying I didn't show up while I'm sitting inside
Perfect spot to end your weekend. Absolutely gorgeous!
Roof top Great Idea, nice vie, nice vibe Live Music but in a corner of the roof.Nice vie of the Bay. with Beautiful Sunset. Too bad they serve beer in a can and not on draft. the cocktails are pre mixed but GOOD Margheritas nice but not many vodka choices nor can you request a drink of your choice. Only what's on the menu.and yet you see ppl working behind what looks like a full svc bar?Tapas choices are skimpy and pricey. average $16 . Snacks $12 for chips n salsa ok pretty tasty olives were just dry olives with seeds... pretty yucky having seeds all over the place no oil or seasonings...boringBut I like the atmosphere. Worth at stars if some things are adjusted. By the Way - The Pool.Restaurant right near the pool with cabanas for guests I love this place has the beer on draft and nice burger and skinny Fries I wish they were steak fries. fish n chips vegan choices. And a great DJ. Still pricey but satisfying. ?.I
Really nice ambiance. Great place to hangout after a day on the beach!

A beautiful place! Drinks are ok.Food menu could have more.oysters were greatThe view of Manhattan amazing!I didnt know until we were leaving that there's an option of ocean view as well.It was a beautiful night but very windy so we sat indoors.The only problem was there was a DJ playing the worst music and very loud.Hard to have a conversation.
