"A warm welcome and environment"

Reviewed January 04, 2026 NEW

We could not believe how beautiful your property was and how completely accommodating and friendly all of your staff was! We ate in the restaurant on New Years evening and everyone was actually happy and welcoming! Everyone from the front desk staff, valet and bellmen were so friendly! I know I keep using that word but it is true and they made us feel like Family! We can’t wait to go back!

Reviewed December 28, 2025 NEW

We stay at the Cape Rey every Christmas to visit family in the area. They have a great location on the beach and great amenities as well as nice rooms to choose from in case you want to entertain. Chandlers and the small food shop on the first floor supply any food and drinks you need.
