The perfect romantic getaway!
Pros: My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Bethany Beach Ocean Suites to celebrate one year together. Everything about our stay was amazing. The staff were courteous and friendly, the entire property was beautiful, and our room (a Junior Suite) was incredible- very clean and comfortable with great amenities (the larger fridge was perfect for the several bottles of wine we brought!). There was so much to do in the area- great little shops and a ton of great restaurants. We can't wait to come back!

Our whole family agreed that...
Pros: The oceanfront location and being next to the boardwalk meant that we never had to use the car at all. Restaurants, amusements, shopping were all within walking distance.
Cons: Not getting an adjoining room when I booked two rooms together.

Perfect Beach Town
Pros: The location is absolutely gorgeous! Our room overlooked the beach and ocean. We left the balcony door open at night so we could hear the ocean while we slept. The room was very spacious and very clean. They thought of everything from the lavish toiletries and bathrobes to the air-conditioning that automatically turned on and off when the balcony door was opened and closed. The hotel is in the heart of the boardwalk, close to restaurants and shops. We traveled here for a wedding and had a fabulous time in this beach community.
Cons: Parking on the street is sparse, but most things are within walking distance, so it was okay.

Pros: Location was perfect!
Cons: Our room was noisy. Too close to a fan of some sort. We think it was from the laundry room that is down the hall. Also walls were thin and could here other people in their rooms.

Good with an exception!
Pros: The 99 Level restaurant was great. Staff & food is top notch.
Cons: The hot buffet breakfast was not run well. There needs to be a better flow as to the setup. The waffles should be pre made and kept hot. Allowing children to make their own is not a good idea. The batter was not with the waffle irons. The buffet room was too small because of all the people waiting to make waffles so other people had a hard time getting what they wanted. There was not enough staff to refill the trays when they emptied or were near empty. There was not enough tables for people to sit. Maybe when the hotel is full they need to have extra tables set up. The staff did the best they could with what they had to work with. How about setting up the cereal outside with the bowls & milk there also. Also, there should be a starting place so people know there is a line.

Off season affordability made stay...
Pros: The staff, especially the ones that were willing to accommodate our requests.
Cons: The rigidity of the menus at the on site restaurant. I have certain dietary restrictions and, we're it not for the staff who stepped up and lobbied the chef, I would have had to skip the meal all together. Luckily, the hostess saved the day and my wife and I were able to enjoy breakfast together.

Pros: Decor is amazing, very relaxing for a weekend away. Staff was great, thank you.
Cons: Unfortunately, we probably would not eat in the restaurant for dinner again. We chose to stay at the hotel, enjoy the view and have dinner there after looking at the tri-fold menu on the counter. I decided on the rib-eye option (instead of going to one of our favorites - Blue Coast) that was listed as ~$18 and reasonable... when we sat down for dinner, the only steak option was $48. I'm not a big seafood person so my choices were limited and was very disappointed with the prices. We had already ordered drinks and didn't want to walk out. We spent way too much on 2 entrees with no sides. The sides listed were scattered on top of the entree and nothing of substance. Even if I had selected a salad and a side, it was still going to be too high. I understand hotel dining is always a little more expensive, but a little disappointed.

Great off-season vacation.
Pros: The breakfast was excellent.
Our room was comfortable altho too big and dormitory-like for a couple. The public areas were v. good and inviting..
We often go to Bethany Beach in the summer, and we really enjoyed the off-season. Few people, no-one, almost, on the beach, plenty of parking, no parking fees, enough restaurants and shops open for our needs. It was really great.
Cons: We ate in the restaurant one evening. That got off to a bad start when I asked the waiter to wipe the table dry. He said, "It's only water." Yes, and who wants to sit at a wet table.
The mussels were -- how is this possible? -- tasteless and the sauce was unpleasant.
The dining area, despite being open on two sides, is unbelievably loud.
We simply didn't eat there again, and our stay was very nice and enjoyable.
