Top National Geographic Theater Hotel Reviews

Ragged Point Inn and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I was a little nervous because some of the reviews mentioned that the rooms weren’t as clean or updated as people expected, but as someone who is super particular and a germaphobe, it was totally fine!!! That being said, you will NOT regret staying here. The views are incomparable. It is such a beautiful property. I recommend booking a first floor ocean view. You get a little outside patio with a rocking swing-perfect for relaxing, reading, having a cocktail, etc. I would 100% stay here again and HIGHLY recommend this property. I usually don’t even write reviews, but it’s a hidden gem."
