Christmas at the Raintree
It was fabulous!! They left us some sparkling cider as it was Christmas. The unit was clean and well appointed. It was too warm with no way to control temp within the unit. The lobby was decorated for the holidays and the staff was so fun and friendly. We will be back and the price was fabulous.
This stay was absolutely amazing! One of the best places we’ve ever stayed at with a price that was unbelievable! Granted I know it’s not during peak time but this hotel would still be worth it!
This was a fantastic hotel. I got a two bedroom suite with full kitchen for an excellent price for two nights (4 adults). They have a heated pool (the front desk person said they have people swimming all year around!) and a hot tub. The room was spacious, with an electric fireplace in the main room and tvs in all the rooms.
Older, well maintained building. Spectacular 3-bedroom unit, each with their own bathroom. Patio, ocean view, gas fireplace well equipped kitchen. Dinner table for six. Easy walk to local restaurants. Nice ocean side walkway. Heated outdoor pool and hot tub. Friendly staff. King bed mattress could be replaced. Some music noise at night.
Love this place. Three bedrooms 3 bathrooms. Unit clean and comfortable. Love the beds and pillows. Only bad was jacuzzi jets were not working. Bummer. Staff friendly . Yummy popcorn Fri night. We come 1xyear with family.
