Overnight.

The overall stay was great! The hotel itself was a little dated on the exterior but there were many interior upgrades that made up for it. The service was excellent with stay that were engaging and sincere (rare in today’s times). At the time, the elevator had an issue so taking the stairs with octogenarian family wasn’t idle but staff were always ready to help out.

Outdoor pool was under renovation they didn’t mention that lol. Place is getting dated. From the front it looks like a motel but it happens to be on the ocean on the other side. Coast hotel gets free mini golf which is 50 bucks a round for 4 people. Hotel Feng does the free breakfast and also has a hot tub. No hot tub no breakfast getting a bit dated. I’d go elsewhere. Food was very good happy hour was even a rip off though.

We had a fabulous stay at the Bayside resort! The grounds were gorgeous, the ocean view was spectacular and our room was perfectly set up! The patio was perfect to enjoy the delicious Nespresso coffee in the morning after a great sleep in the comfy beds! The restaurant had the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted and we picked fresh blackberries by the water and lounged in the chairs in a beautiful little atea overlooking the water. The staff were fabulous and even offered a little welcome gift for our little pup who was travelling with us! This was such a great experience and the perfect stay, we will definitely be back! Thanks for everything Bayside 🙏❤️
