Fodor's Expert Review Chesapeake Beach Resort

Modern conveniences and a retro look are among the hallmarks of this boutique hotel on the beach. Rooms have a turquoise and sandstone color scheme and dark wood accents; each also has a porch or a balcony along with a mini-refrigerator and coffee maker. Most units are lined up along the long stretch of sand that all but encircles a lagoon; others overlook the tennis court. Thirteen oceanfront villas (including two stand-alones), a new tiki bar, and a boat ramp and dock round out the list of accommodations and amenities.
