    Wavecrest Resort Montauk, NY @wavecrestresort Wavecrest Resort was an absolute delight to stay at during our visit out to Montauk. So convenient being just steps to the beach, and with them providing their own lounge chairs and umbrellas, it really took pressure off us while having our baby with us. The room was comfortable, and the views were unmatched. We loved relaxing on the patio, listening to the waves crash onto the beach. The indoor heated pool was a great addition, and we loved being able to get out of the sun for a little, while still enjoying the pool. The food truck on premises ran by @steven_paluba_chef was delicious! Voted "Best Food Truck" and "Best Lobster Roll" on the Southfork by @danspapers of course we had to try the lobster roll on the beach, and breakfast another morning on the hotel's patio and bbq area. With just a short drive to town, it was easy to access everything, and we actually enjoyed being secluded from the town. We would HIGHLY recommend this spot for anyone looking for accommodations while planning your next trip to Montauk! For full video review and much more, follow us on Instagram @drinklongislandny

    The sunrise right outside our room!

    Everything was beautiful! Easy to get the fire pit needs on your own at any time! The most beautiful views right from our window! We will come back here every time! The food truck w lots of options right on the beach.

    We booked a garden room. It was a lovely clean room. Check in was easy and we got into our room early. It has Adirondack chairs outside overlooking the ocean. There used to be a food truck for coffee and breakfast if you don't want to make in your room. The ocean is steps away. I love you can make a beach fire. We will stay here again. The best for me is the lifeguard. I will never get in the water alone. Most hotels do not have lifeguards! This is awesome!

    Enjoying a fire on the beach!

    Our stay at Wavecrest was amazing! Our room was on the beach and listening to the waves crash from our room was outstanding! Exactly what we wanted! Siracha Steve and his Wave Crave food truck was a great way to start each day. Coffee was strong and delicious and there are lots of great menu options to choose from. Make sure to ask him about the dishes named for his grand kids! Beach chairs were provided and there were fire canisters making it easy to have a fire on the beach! You could buy wood at the resort store. Walking the beach was also great since we had it mostly to ourselves in a mid-week early June visit. Montauk was a nice place to visit with many great restaurants and bars and shops. The lighthouse was a highlight of our trip! The views and hiking trails made our trip! I can't say enough good things about Wavecrest for an old school beach vibe. Clean, comfortable, and very affordable! It was perfect for my wife and me!!!

    Came here for Memorial Day weekend. The location is great, it's beach side and they have a pool. The pool is indoors that opens up to the courtyard but it's pretty heavy with chorine. They don't serve food so you have to bring your own or order from the food truck that closes at 3pm (very good food). It's not fancy but nice, but it's nice and simple. I would recommend staying on the top floor because even though there are signs that say quiet hours are between 10pm-8am the people upstairs had after parties two nights in a roll that lasted past 2am. It sounded like a stampede and the staff won't do anything about it even if you let them know. The phone in our room didn't even work, you have to use your cell.

    Patio with awning overlooking the beach

    We stay every year at wavecrest! The accessibility to the beach is amazing. They set up your chairs and umbrellas where you want them which makes it enjoyable to just grab your bag and go. Also the food truck is so yummy and right on your way to the beach. The indoor pool is a nice break from the beach. Lots of tables and patio seating with views of ocean. Rooms come with kitchenette. We love this place!!!

    My now fiancée proposed on the balcony of the overlook suite! The resort is beautiful and spacious! Check in was easy and Great! The one bedroom suite was cozy! We cooked in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The couch was comfortable as well as the bed. The sunset view from the balcony was picture perfect. We will be back for mini vacation in montauk at Wavecrest.

    We stayed right before Memorial Day and loved our stay. We had looked at multiple hotels and this…read morewas our first time to the area, I'm glad we went with this one. We actually were more pleasantly surprised with the room and stay than we expected. They worked with us on a late check in, the room and bathroom were great, everything was clean, walking distance to shops and restaurants, walking across the street and you're on the beach. We did use the beach chairs and umbrella one afternoon, those did have some mold or mold stains on there and umbrella was bent..but could still use them. I think they are due for cleaning after the winter, or maybe replacement. The sister property has the pool and we spent some time on the hammock and lounge chairs. They had some shade, which was great bc it was needed for someone fair skinned in our party. We tried swimming but it was just a tad too chilly to swim yet for me. One night there wasn't enough parking but we parked on the grass across the street and were told by security that it was fine. A con I'd say is when you hang the privacy placard on the door, the housekeepers still come into your room, and leave a tip envelope.. that irritated me that they disregarded the privacy placard. But hopefully management will see this and pass on the message so that won't happen to you. Hope that gives you an idea of what to expect. Overall would definitely recommend this hotel to others :)

Odd house/motel directly behind my bathroom window, but the Inn has plenty of cameras and locks to allow key-only guest entrance to the room areas/porches and courtyards/pool. The pool was in the adjacent sister resort, but went there once since the beach is very close, as is the town. The staff were courteous, but don't understand other Yelp reviews raving about how great the service was. NO free upgrade or anything else, just nice people/employees- what it should be. I intend to go back- maybe in peak season.

Starting with the room, the size was good, but it could have been cleaner. I noticed some dust and dirt in the corners, and the room felt like it could use an update. The coffee machine looked older and wasn't very clean, the refrigerator wasn't working properly, and there wasn't an ice machine nearby--you have to call the front desk for ice. At night, the room wasn't very soundproof. You can hear footsteps from the room above, along with other noises, so if you're a light sleeper, it's something to keep in mind. On the weekend, the hotel was lively because of a wedding and the nightclub. There was music until around midnight, and when guests left, the noise from the cars made it difficult to get a full night's sleep. The food and drinks were very good, although they were on the expensive side. I was happy with the quality of the dining experience. Most of the staff were fine, though I noticed a few employees who seemed less welcoming. Thankfully, everyone I interacted with was polite. The overall atmosphere was the highlight of my stay. The property has a beautiful, relaxing vibe with a classy crowd, and I especially loved the morning yoga classes. I spent about $5,000 for a two-night stay, so I expected a more luxurious room experience. Mine was one of the more affordable room categories, and it didn't feel especially upscale for the price. Next time, I would probably visit for the food, drinks, beach, or spa day pass instead of staying overnight. If you're looking for a lively resort with plenty of events and activities, this is a great choice. If you're looking for a very quiet hotel, you may want to consider other options.

After several calls, we were repeatedly told to wait another 20-30 minutes, but the issue was never resolved before dinner. I had to wash my hair in my daughter's sink, and my daughter missed our family dinner because she couldn't shower after spending the day at the beach. We also received conflicting explanations about whether someone entered my room despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign. The air conditioner was extremely loud, the room phone didn't work, and no manager was available when we needed assistance. We ultimately left one day early because we no longer felt comfortable staying. Despite repeated calls and promised follow-up, management refused to refund the unused night. For a hotel at this price point and with this reputation, we expected far better service, communication, and accountability.

The resort is also walkable to many cafes, restaurants, and shops. Once we got to Marram (we took a cab from the LIRR to the resort), we did not have to do any additional driving while we were there. The rooms are on the smaller side, but comfortable. The bed linens are like you are sleeping on a cloud. You can control the air conditioning to your liking. The room has very little in the way of amenities - free water, sparkling water, popcorn, hairnets, and makeup remover. No bath robe or slippers, so be sure to bring your own. The pool is very small but it does go up to 8 feet, which is nice. The cafe/restaurant on the premises is awesome. We loved all of the baked goods including the ham and cheese miso scone, the croissants, and the cookies. This area of the beach was quiet during the week. Fun place to sun bathe, watch the surfers, and really relax. While we were at Marram, I also took advantage of one of their free meditation sessions. If you're there while Raymond is doing the meditation, definitely check it out! It was a very relaxing way to kick off our stay. The walls are hilariously thin, but nothing that we weren't able to sleep through. Our room faced the courtyard and I was worried that it would be too loud at night, but it seems like they're serious about enforcing the quiet hours, which is nice. If you're looking for a chill, close to everything, walk onto the beach resort, this is the place for you!

If you're looking for five star accommodations, this is not it. No room service, no concierge and very little available as far as food and beverage service. This place has been remodeled into a serene, minimalist getaway with very few distractions from the outside world. No TV's in the rooms and no complimentary newspaper; both of which make this the perfect escape. Get a room with a view of the ocean and you'll enjoy the scenery and the sounds. Unplug and enjoy the quiet environment. Read a book. Don't laugh, but the soap and shampoo make you smell like vacation. Take advantage of the heated pool and beach chairs and walk into town for meals and cocktails. Everything in Montauk is only a few minutes away by car. I would suggest trying to plan your stay in the slower part of the season to avoid the influx of the Instagram influenced city folk. As I mentioned, the food and beverage were the only areas that could use some help. It's daylight by 5am but the restaurant doesn't open until 8am, so you'll have to hike into town for coffee. Or sleep late. Coffee was great though. Breakfast was also minimalist but really amazing; simple food done well. 4-5 savory selections and a great assortment of pastries. The lunch / dinner service was puzzling so we avoided it (literally a protein with sides for $45 and the menu was not published). Cocktails were on point; pricey, but you're in the Hamptons so it's expected that every cocktail is $20. It would have been cool if they had some "pool food" or "beach food." I don't do the Yelp thing often but figured I would share my thoughts for posterity. I'm on the fence about going back to Marram. On one hand, we already have our room picked out for the next visit. On the other hand I don't think I can ever recreate such an amazing and relaxing vacation. We'll see.

On a Sunday morning during the month of July, even with a relatively quiet dining room, the service was terrible. We had to run down a server just for water and coffee. The coffee, if you can call it that, is watered down and tasteless. We asked for cream and sugar, none came, so we had to go get it ourselves from the kitchen. Bizarre. The banana bread, which is $16, is literally one slice with fresh bananas. OK, so I am fine with paying higher prices for the location, but $16 for one slice of banana bread? Give me a break. Turkey sausage patties are literally 1 mm thick. The avocado toast, which was a very light spread of avocado on toasted bread, was extremely spicy. Totally fine with tortilla chips for a dinner, but certainly not for a breakfast entrée. The smoked salmon came with cucumbers, which had a very weird medicinal taste. The only person happy with their breakfast had ordered the scrambled eggs. Tough to mess that up. One of our party asked for an over easy egg on the side, and they wouldn't do it. Asked for a fruit basket, but it never came. Service and quality of food were both extremely disappointing. The only redeeming quality is the location. Don't come here and spare yourself to disappointment.
