ReserveTravel
I made reservations for wedding 2-3 weeks out. When I made the reservation, I was given the rate and was told a confirmation would be sent to me. Since there were supposed to be "special" rates for this wedding, I questioned the operator since the rate she gave me was the same as the website (199.00). Nope she told me, this was the rate.
I got no confirmation and called back today, 3 days before the wedding to check on my reservation. Chris confirmed my reservation and when I asked about the rate, he said since I didn't book a month or more ahead of time, the "special" rate didn't apply to me...what crap.. I have never even been to this resort, but already I have a poor opinion of its customer service. The bride is a close friend and I would never bring this up during this great time, but if you plan on staying at this place, make sure you understand that whatever pricing they give you is probably a limited time offer.

Hotel has been remodeled and is good. Not Blockade Runner. Beach is better. Rooms are good, but you need to know which ones to ask for. Each unit is privetly owned. We like unit 612. There are several others, unfortuntely, I don't have the num
Beach was great. The room was not!!

Mediocre
The room was not very good. The hideabed was over 20 years old and the spring mattress was terrible. My kids had to sleep on the floor. There was no marsh view from our room. Just the parking garage. Horns honking from 6 AM on. Unable to sleep in....
This place was the most disgusting "hotel" I have ever stayed in. The rooms were sticky - the furniture, carpet, bed- all seemed to be covered in mysterious stains and a sticky glaze. The towels in the bathroom had what I can only hope were...
The service was great, BUT, for $400+ for two nights, the room didn't really warrant that. It was pretty much your basic quality room, not the "luxury" they describe online, just bigger.
I am going there every year!!!

Excellent
I suprised my boyfriend with a trip to Wrightsville Beach. We were scheduled to stay at another hotel but they gave our room away. So we ended up driving around for a few minutes before finding this hotel. It attracted us because it was at the end...
When I called to make the reservation I asked if the hotel had Wi-Fi and was assured they did. When I arrived I found that there was no Wi-Fi in the room so I went to the desk. I was told that there was Wi-Fi in the lobby. Guess what, not there...
THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISLIKE. I SPENT MY HONEYMOON THERE IN 1990. STILL IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT WAS THEN. A BEAUTIFUL AND SERENE PLACE TO BE. NO HUSTLE AND BUSTLE. THESE PLACES ARE FEW AND FAR...
