Fodor's Expert Review Pacific Reef and Resort

This resort offers a little something for everyone: from comfy, clean, economical rooms in the original renovated 1950s hotel to modern two-story condos with expansive ocean views, king-size beds, full kitchens, and outdoor patios. Whatever your choice, count on finding contemporary furnishings and fixtures. And expect top-notch service from the professional and friendly staff. Amenities include a shared hot tub, koi pond, and complimentary breakfast at the resort restaurant, the Chowder House. Ocean access is easily reached via a walking path across low dunes and a flood plain frequented by deer. This stretch of coast is especially good for gem hunting on a pebble-strewn beach.
