The Windrift is and always will be the most fabulous hotel on the island. My family stated vacationing in Stone Harbor in 1964, but ALWAYS DINED AT THE WINDRIFT! So proud and excited each year now that I have my own family, to let them also experience the beautiful shore! EVEN BEFORE MY OWN FAMILY MOVED BACK EAST FROM SAN... More

The rooms have been very nicely updated, great bathroom and shower, comfortable beds and reasonable rates. Great location also, right on the beach. Breakfast vouchers for $10 off are a good deal, and breakfast only cost us $3. We left a few items behind which we called about and the staff located them (and another item we didn't realize we...

We were lucky enough to spend Easter weekend at the Windrift! The new rooms are wonderful! Gone are the tiny bathrooms that you could barely turn around in, and instead there is a beautiful tiled bathroom with a triple size shower stall, and updated sink area. Towels, linens, pillows, furniture are also upgraded, and the resort can now take its... More

My group of girlfriends (9 total) have been coming to the Windrift every spring when they open on the weekends before the season gets going. The location is ideal, on the beach, at the end of Avalon and near the shops of Stone Harbor. We have stayed in the 4 bedroom, 4 bath condo which is spacious and comfortable. The... More

We had a wonderful time. The rooms were nice, the maid service was thorough and prompt. The food in the restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and attentive. They have recently renovated their pool which is quite beautiful and they have added a hot tub spa at one end. Since the weather during our stay was... More

There was nothing that impressed me with this hotel. If you are looking for an oceanfront hotel, this is as oceanfront as you can get. Close proximity to the beach and a nice pool area. The room was that of a typical beach hotel - average. That being said, the fridge was big and the TV was small (I'm guessing... More

GOOD: Really close to the bea ch and next to a park and tennis courts. Pool wonderful and child friendly.The room cleaners were great- even made a 'flower' out of our daughters blankie BAD: If you lock your room from the inside, it will make it so that your key will not work... found out the hard way, they do...

The Windrift has a great setup (right on the beach, easy to get in and out to your vehicle, etc). However only the quality service is from the bartenders. Wait staff in the restaurant awful, food not too good and pricey, and the amount of time it takes to get the food is extended no matter if the restaurant is... More

Small rooms, nice employees, very rude management. Attitude is " How dare you question us". My family and I were asked every morning to wait at the bar for 15 to 20 minutes for a table for breakfast that's right breakfast ( by the way my kids are 10 and 11). It wouldn't be so bad if the tables were... More

We've been coming to this hotel for years now as a family unit. Having always enjoyed the closeness to the beach along with having a pool. During the summer season the rates are prime but although they've beautified their flyers and have made major renovations at the pools the rooms are not at the level you would expect given the...
