Top Carolina Beach Hotel Reviews

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Very clean, easy to navigate. Friendly staff. I do wish there was a broom available in the room, but overall a fantastic stay. Would stay again."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"This property is in a great location. And the staff is extremely kind and very nice and helpful. I did feel for the amount of money that we spent. The room could have been cleaner and a little bit more upgraded for upwards of $400 a night. The pool area is not as large as appears to be online, and because the tiki bar at the pool area and the fire pit have public access and if you are in a beachfront room you will hear what is going on out on the boardwalk, as well as the tiki bar and fire pit and how it closes at about 10:30 11:00 p.m."

Carolina Beach Motel

8/10 Good

"The communication from property management/owners was really good. From initial booking to checking out was a great experience. The hotel room was spacious, really modern and clean, beds were super comfy, and it was very quiet. The only negative thing I experienced was the inability to find the on-site pool and the water pressure in the shower wasnt great. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful. Despite the two negative things I found, I would still highly recommend this hotel to anyone and would even book again!"
