The Colony Hotel

The Colony Hotel is one of my favorite places to stay during the summer. It has a flair of nostalgia that I find charming. The hotel is beautiful and grand- overlooking the ocean. The salt water pool is crucial, especially because the ocean water is pretty chilly, even in the summer. Plenty of lounge chairs, live music and a bar/restaurant is right at the pool deck. You can walk into town- but it’s far enough away to feel quiet and peaceful. The breakfast is bountiful- tons of options. My kids love the chocolate milks! We always choose an ocean facing room- for the view and also for the breeze. I believe there is no AC in the main buildings rooms? We’ve never had a problem or felt uncomfortable. The grounds are beautiful. This is our 4th summer returning- because we absolutely love this place!

The resort was designed to take full advantage of the beautiful coastal views. The food was delicious and the staff were so accommodating. Dogs were everywhere as this is such a dog friendly place. Highly recommend!

Cons: The rooms don’t have fridges or AC units, but they’ll loan you a mini fridge for a fee. lol! So cheap. The bed was firm. Pros: Service was pretty good. The seasonal workers in the downstairs restaurant were a bit aloof but friendly. The breakfast buffet upstairs was fantastic and so was the service. Easy check in. Heated pool with live bands on the weekend.
