We had stayed at this motel last year sometime late fall early winter and had a nice suite. We ate at the lobby bar and had a great dinner. We did not expect the beach bar & grill to be open so we weren't that disappointed. This year we stayed we called to make our reservation and were anxious to... more

My family holds the Annual Smith/Harrod Family Reunion at the Sunset Beach Resort. We always have a lot of fun there. From the bar on the beach to the picnic area where we cook out on the grill, the Sunset Beach resort has been one that we have chosen year after year. There is a lot of room for the... more

We were driving down the Delmarva and out to the Outer Banks and chose to drive without a fixed itinerary. As a result, we ended up at the Sunset Beach by chance, and had not researched it. It was adequate, barely. Broken lights over the bed meant only one lamp in the room worked. Everything was a bit grimy. Sheets... more

We traveled to the tip of the Delmarva to kayak, bike and bird. After looking into Cape Charles properties, we kept coming back to this hotel listing which seemed to fit our needs better than a b&b. I was nervous about the rooms based on the reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. We stayed in room 135 which is a... more

First, this motel has lost it's Best Western certification and is now private. Our original plans were to stay at the Cape Charles Historic Hotel, but they were closed. We were already on the road when we spotted a nice advertisement for this so called Best Western Resort and got a room for two nights. The place is run down... more

I stay at the hotel frequently, and this past summer they installed new carpet in all the rooms. That gives the room a new look in itself. Restaurant food still good, but I do miss the Pelican Pub on the bay. Looking foward to the wonderful sunsets on the beach and the live music playing. more

The lure of this place was the location and private beach. All other places were booked solid and 2x the money for similiar amenities. Booked for only 3 nights just in case... after reading the dated reviews of the place. Drove 5 hrs and the first words were oh-oh, instead of wow, after pulling into the hotel. Wasn't sure if... more

My family went to this resort in July 2003. We drove from Toronto Canada and were not impressed. The internet pictures showed a nice beach, restaurant, clean rooms etc. so based on that we decided to try it as the price was good. First of all the advertised that they had a private beach. Yes, there is a private beach... more

My husband and I took our two well-behaved dogs to the Best Western Beach "Resort" in July 2004. The best part of this hotel was it's beach area, which you can get to without being a guest. Our room's ceiling was peeling very badly and the decor itself was in serious need of a makeover. We had a good dinner,... more
