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 location is the best. Staff were always friendly and very helpful. Amenities were top notch. The view was breathtaking. It turned out to be a healing place to unwind from the stressors if life.

The restaurant had untrained staff, they were nice but had no idea how to serve.

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.

Amenities not maintained. Coffee machine needed service both days. Ice machine limited and water tasted very treated. Gym and bikes only adequate. Disappointing value
