Best hotel ever❤️staff was very friendly,the room was always cleaned..we love it!Will be back for sure
2.0 / 5.0
It was a very nice place. But the food was average and expensive. And the rooms are pricey too. Our bathroom door handle broke off and they didn't fix it. And we couldn't take a shower the first day because we only had extremely hot water and no cold water to cool it down. They fixed it the next day.

Our room (#318) smelled like mildew from the minute we walked in the oceanfront room until the day we checked out. Staff claims that no other room was available for us to stay in.

They literally thought of everything! We took a 4 night family vacation (with two kids under 10 years old) and it was truly one of the best hotel stays our family has ever had.
With super easy beach access on site, multiple pools, and multiple on site restaurants, everything we needed was just steps away and so convenient. Food was great, service by the staff was impeccable, and the rooms were beautiful! Each floor even had a “Treat Suite” with free snacks that our kids enjoyed each day. We definitely plan to return!

Check in was horrible because we arrived late...12AM midnight nothing open, no help, no food, no drinks, no suggestions, an unfriendly desk clerk, and an awkward creepy feeling of coldness engulfed the air. We were given unkind looks by all the employees doing absolutely nothing but staring at us fumble our way to find our room...They couldn't take the time out of their napping and reading to even try to be slightly welcoming to their guests that had just driven 14 hours to stay at the Hotel. Unfriendliness was the vibe. I was even told a negative remark and given an eye role insinuating that not booking directly with the hotel was frowned upon. It felt like we weren't as significant as their typical guests which seemed condescending and rude. I had requested a king and got 2 queens. The beds were extremely hard. The 3rd floor ocean view was a joke and barely a view of anything but maintenance storage units below albeit I had paid extra for ocean view. We left next morning in the pouring rain. Not one of the young bell boys standing around talking and laughing offered to help my elderly husband fetch a cart in the rain or to lend a hand with the luggage. Needless to say we got drenched. The girls in the gift shop were haughty and unhelpful as well. Being a beach lover the Water Color Inn had been on my bucket list for many many years. After reading so many wonderful reviews I was so excited to finally be there. I left totally disenchanted. It was a total waste of money.

This is my 5th time to Watercolor Inn (started coming in 2017). Love the convenience w the pools (love the new hotel pool). Feel like the restaurants aren't as good as they could be especially compared to restaurants in Rosemary. I do not like the new interior of the rooms, the headboard design is terrible and the worst is the dressers w the non-functional bottom drawer. What is the point of having that? They also took took out starfish decor in the showers, which were really cool. Also took out the sound machines which was a bonus. The maid service forgot to do turn down service one night during our stay. The Inn is still beautiful but there are a few things they could update/change a bit. The staff at front desk and outside are always super friendly and helpful. Hope to be back next year!

Great location, simply wonderful staff. Weather a bit cool, noisy construction nearby, however the exceptional staff more than made up for at every possible opportunity. They have our sincere appreciation.

The Inn was a part of a larger community experience that included a state park on one side and eclectic communities which were very walkable and bike able. I would definitely recommend this property.

In a day and age where post COVId hotel stays have been sub par, understaffed, and lacking amenities offered pre-Covid, it was very refreshing to stay at Watercolor Inn where this was not the case. Watercolor Inn was fully staffed, with joyful, helpful, knowledgeable staff. From the moment we pulled into the property we encountered the most pleasant and helpful staff. All facilities were up and running. The extra treats in the room upon check in, the nightly cookies, the “treat suite,” the availability of bikes, the heated pools staffed with lifeguards keeling a watchful eye. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay and look forward returning very soon. We were there celebrating my daughters birthday and our experience was fantastic! Highly recommend.

Watercolor in is a very charming boutique hotel located in Water Color along 30A, half mile walk to Seaside center where there are a big square with restaurants and shops. We had a room on 2nd story, can walk through the hotel restaurant and use the deck for direct beach access. Hotel front desk Orco (from Turkey) and Yuka (Japan) are absolutely helpful and kind.

Amazing pools and beaches! There is a trolley service that will take you around from the resort, which I thought was great! The rooms were nice, definitely stay on the 3rd or 4th floor if you want to see the ocean-the views are beautiful. The only downside is the balconies are not private-you can see straight through the dividers to your neighbor. You have to reserve your beach setup ahead of time if you want to be in the first or second row. Great place overall though! I would recommend.

We had such a nice time and the staff was amazing. We honestly never saw cleaning staff but each time we came back it was like cleaning elves had come and left us cookies. The rooms were bigger than I expected and my family of 4 never felt too crowed Even with an 11 month old.

Beautiful resort and pool facilities. Staff was excellent, as were the cleaning staff. The only thing that could use some work for the upcoming summer season given the covid crowd is the ordering system at the pool bar and the chair issue at both pools. They need additional staff to deal with that amount of crowding at the main pool. To get a tea or food you have to wait in the same line as everyone waiting for drinks. Hire a few extra bartenders and 1-2 waitresses. Yours are overworked and struggling. Camp watercolor was outstanding! 5 out of 5 for families.

The staff at Watercolor was amazing. More than accommodating and helpful at every turn. Our stay was as perfect as it gets! The amenities Watercolor has was more than expected and made our trip so enjoyable. FOOWs food was also top notch and being right in the hotel, so convenient!

I really liked being close to the ocean...having an abundance of towels and bathrobes were above touch

The location is perfect and the staff friendly. Hard to speak about customer service because staff numbers seem to have been reduced due to Covid.
