Windrift Hotel

Wouldn't recommend this place in the off season. Was here for a November wedding. Nothing is open including restaurant. Construction going on in room above us. Have to say overall it was terrible.

We selected the windrift hotel as our bridal suite for our wedding this May. We wanted a luxury hotel without completely breaking our bank. I have to say our room was stunning. I had 8 bridesmaids and my mom/brother were getting ready with me the day of the wedding so we def. needed a spacious room. The bridal suite had 2 bathrooms, a large bedroom, 2 balcony, a living room and a kitchen area. We primarily got ready in the living room and kitchen area. It was beautiful. My husband I shared our wedding night there as well and the night after and it was so special to us. We have been going to the

Every summer trip to the Avalon/Stone Harbor area we make sure that we visit the Windrift resort. We always enjoy eating on the 3rd floor which overlooks the ocean and the pool area. Great for families and adults. My wife, son, and I loved the nachos, burgers, and chicken fingers.

Every year is fabulous here. Great hotel, amenities, and staff make this our go to hotel every year.

We ate an early dinner there. Marinated chicken breast sandwich was delicious! Mozzarella cheese and roasted red peppers were flavorful. It was nice to have a small side salad instead of fries. Great service by Ben.

Hadn't been to the Windrift in over 20 years until this summer. Wow, what a different place it is now! Huge! Seems like 4 or 5 bars on the property with perfect views of the ocean. We'll be back again this summer for sure!

Enjoyed our stay. Staff very nice. Enjoyed the pool and beach. Would definitely come here again

The Windrift was so much fun! The view from the rooftop restaurant was spectacular and the food and cocktails were fantastic. Maddy our server was great! I would highly recommend!

Great location. There's a casual dining spot with some great views of the ocean as well as a fine dining room. The bar had live entertainment in the evening. On the downside, rooms are rather small, the beds were terribly uncomfortable (they were too soft and sank in the middle), and there was only one elevator. You'd expect better from a hotel that's charging $520 a night. There were some other positives: The staff was very courteous and helpful, the lobby had a nice snack and drink case that included a nice fruit cup and muffins, and best of all, the hotel offers a changing room with shower so

After close to 50 years of coming to Windrift...we are done. With the new owers, it has gone downhill to the point of no return. Room fridge smells like a chicken died in there...reported it upon check in (morning and evening) and no one has come yet...2 days later. "Hot tub" is colder than the pool. They STOPPED SERVING BREAKFAST and you can't buy the coffee at the front desk until 7:30am. No one at the front desk to help you unless you get someone to knock on their office door. Added a Luxury Tax of 15% to each night...for us that's $77/night! Beds now terribly uncomfortable

Booked a 4 bedroom condo. What they don't tell you is how miserable the bathroom situation will be. One bathroom attached to master bedroom. Is ridiculous...world's smallest bathroom. For the rest of the guests you are forced to share the bathroom with 5 other people. There isn't a half bath or anything ..so if someone needs to use the bathroom while another person is using the shower it's a trip to the bathroom in the hotel lobby. The main bathroom is also tight and small and no place to hang your to towels. Then they give you weird looks at the front desk if you want fresh

It was a dreary day at the shore and my wife found this place to grab a bite to eat. It's a lovely setting with great views of the ocean. The staff were wonderful and welcoming. The food was good, I tried the sushi and was very impressed. We shared an enormous chips and guacamole appetizer. The only reason for 4 stars is that it's a bit pricey. I get it, your on the ocean, but treat more than a regular place to go. Will definitely go back when we want to "great" ourselves again.

Place for drinkers. Lots of bars. Standard rooms like any hotel but priced higher. Good area on 7 mile island and right by the beach. Very nice beach. Food in main areas was ok but not worth the price. Nice pool and spa. Very tiny balcony. Very friendly staff.

We just returned from a week stay at the Windrift. Everything was top notch from the moment we arrived, to the end of our stay. As soon as pulled in, the young men who work with the Valet, unloaded our luggage etc, and took it to our beautiful 4 bedroom condo. They even came and loaded our car when we left. Every employee, in every capacity, couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. You could tell they have been trained very well. Keep up the good work Windrift! We will be back.

Excellent service from our 2 night stay, from the Front Desk(Mike and Joan) to the Piano bar restaurant, the seafood was delicious and the sing along piano man made it so fun. Our server Nathan, was the best server, very happy and accommodating. The breakfast on the deck with our great server, Peter who was so kind to my ESA dog. Bob the bartender on the 2nd level is amazing. Great beach loungers and umbrellas on the beach. The cleaning ladies were very sweet too.

I called into the hotel before my stay to ask for a specific adjustment for a friend who was having a family emergency. Lala, who was on the nightshift for reservations, was SO ACCOMIDATING AND WONDERFUL!!! She made me feel so welcomed and appreciated as a "guest to be" and was just a lovely person to speak to. Which was so refreshing with the way people can be on the phone (even in customer service). I hope the Windrift appreciates and recognizes how amazing she is as an employee and OBVIOUSLY as a person!!! I cannot wait to arrive tomorrow and tell every manager I see how amazing she

I would give this hotel a 0 out of 0 if I could. I came to this hotel with my wife and family of about 100 who all rented rooms for a wedding. I found myself locked out of the hotel at about 1am because my wife and her parents shared a room and we only had two bracelets and one key. Security approached me and told me to leave the property or the police would be called. I told security that I had a room, was here for a wedding, and just call my room or check with the desk to verify what I was saying. Btw, I'm black and was one of two black people at the wedding. Security told me to get off

You can't beat the location of this hotel. However, it lacks serious cleanliness (room was NOT vacuumed, the toilet was dirty and not flushed when we checked in, my kids were grossed out by the sand on top of the comforter). For $419/night - guests should at least expect a clean room.

The pool was nice, as were the lounge chairs, beach chairs and umbrellas. They need a better system with the pool towels! Some other guest checked out 4 towels to my room, and I had to argue with pool attendant that I didn't check out towels, and we had just arrived. So then he made it look like

Just stayed here this past weekend. From check in to check out everything was perfect. We really enjoyed the restaurant and the food service by the pool was excellent. Get to the beach by 10 am so you are able to get lounge chairs and umbrellas because they go quickly. Will definitely be back next year.

Worst Experience EVER!
Thirty years ago, my wife and I arrived in Atlantic City for our honeymoon only to find out that our Resorts hotel room reservation had fallen through and we found ourselves without a room at midnight. My new bride was so distraught and crying, I had to rectify the situation ASAP. We headed back up the parkway and ended up staying at the Windrift. Thirty years later, for our anniversary, we decided to revisit the Windrift for a long weekend. We booked our room in advance and I was a little shocked to find out that the cost for a bedroom for the night was $400. I checked

"Swanky hotel not a typical jersey shore motel."

We just came back from a vacation at the Windrift. We had an excellent time. Everything is clean. The pool was great. The staff should be commended on excellent service. There is always live entertainment every night. Great getaway for both my daughter and my husband and me. The one thing I wish they had was a small gift shop. We will be recommending this hotel and vacationing there again.

Saying a place in Avalon is overpriced is cliche... mainly because the entire town is overpriced come summer time. Still, I have to say the drift is pricey. After all, someone has to pay for all those renovations.

The place looks a lot nicer on the outside, however, content contained within just doesn't live up to the fancy new outside. Same food, higher prices. Same drinks, slower service (and higher prices). The same, just for more...
