This is a beautiful resort, with a beach, bicycles, and great landscape - even a little putting area which was fun for adults and kids. very family friendly. we were there for a wedding and that went terrific. The only caveat is that they are very dog-friendly. I know this is unusual for resorts and therefore it felt like a... More

My wife and I visited this hotel for a wedding that was being held there. The rooms are very roomy but there is no air conditioning or TVs in the room in the main building. They do have AC and TVs in another part of the hotel but do not remember what they called that part. Dogs are welcome in... More

First, the positives. This hotel is absolutely beautiful with great architecture, very nice lobby, and very well-maintained grounds. The main hotel is very large, and many of the rooms have great ocean views. The buffet breakfast included in the stay is very good. Far superior to every other "free" breakfast that I've had at a hotel. This hotel is also... More

Traveling with our dog, we ended up at the Colony Hotel last minute having to leave another hotel that was horrible. They gave us Room 720 in the East Wing. Even though we checked in at 9:20 pm, we had to wait for a bit, but they were kind enough to lower the price of the room as it was... More

We stayed here 2 very very long days just a week ago . Dogs were everywhere, you couldn't get away from them . Barking and fighting all the time in the parking lot, lobby, hallways and rooms on either side . You couldn't even sit on a chair in the lobby or tv room without getting dog hair on you... More

We stayed at this hotel for four days, two of which were in a Garden Queen room, and two in a Ocean Grand room. The former was a lovely cozy (small) room that, like the rest of the property, is well-maintained and very very clean. We could only walk around the bed in single-file, but were nevertheless very comfortable. The... More

I have stayed at The Colony Hotel a few times before and wanted to enjoy a beautiful fall weekend. Because the weather forecast was supposed to be 80 degrees and sunny in October, I decided to stay at the Colony. When I called, the only rooms they had left were in the East House. We have stayed in both the... More

We recently spent a week at The Colony and rarely have I enjoyed a hotel more. The staff is warm and welcoming, ready to meet your every request. Our room was large and overlooked the ocean with a big bay window, king bed, desk, wing chairs and large bath, The rooms are decorated in New England cottage style, quaint and... More
