I came to stay here for a friend's wedding and I love this hotel. The beds are so comfy and the recent renovations make this place feel like you're not in jersey. Beautiful views and right on the ocean. If I come back to this area I will definitely stay here again!

We actually eat at the Windrift quite often. The view from the second floor deck is second to none. I wish the same could be said about the service. Their food is very good, but we have yet to have a breakfast or dinner there where we didn't have to wait an extraordinarily long time. I get it...they get very... More

This hotel has been renovated a few years ago. The rooms are really nice. It's right on the beach and it has a very nice pool and hot tub. We stayed at an off-season time, so the only drawback was that the "Second Level" restaurant bar (the one with a beautiful ocean view) was totally off limits because of a... More

Beautiful accomodations, awesome pool (and awesome drinks by the pool ;). Traveled with a group of over 15 friends for a girls weekend and I heard NO complaints!! I'd say that that's pretty unheard of! Great food in the restaurants, great service at the bars and great location. If staying in Avalon, the Windrift is a must!

Our whole family have been coming to the Windrift Hotel in Avalon for 9 years. A few years ago they put in a new pool and hot tub, new brick oven pizza kitchen and a brand new bar next to the pool. Last year the hotel went under major renovations that are just amazing. Every time my daughter and I... More

I recently went to the WIndrift for dinner. After paying a cover charge that I found to be very tacky, I was seated at a table next to a family. The child who sat text to me kicked me sevral times. The food was average and the service was poor.

This hotel has just undergone a large renovation project and has a new feel from my past visits. However the customer service, especially in the restaurants is terrible to the point of being absurdly rude. Apparently the end of August is the wrong time to try to enjoy yourself at the Windrift bar and restaurants. Stay here if you must... More
