My wife and I intended to dock overnight at East Hampton Point's marina this July, but we got caught in a water spout just outside Three Mile Harbor. The staff came to our rescue. Despite damage to the property, power outages and downed trees, we were rescued by boat by the front desk manager while we were stuck on the jetty at the harbor entrance, and we stayed for 2 nights in a charming cottage-- without a hotel reservation. If that doesn't describe courtesy and service, what does? Everything about the place was first rate, and we made lemonade out of lemons because of the team at East Hampton Point.

The food at the restaurant is first rate. Great seafood. Lots from which to choose. Nice lunch menu too. And, views out of this world.

Our cottage was elegant, clean and contemporary, yet a Hampton cottage with shingles and character. Nice bathrooms, plasma tvs, kitchenettes. First rate.

While East Hampton Point is a great boating destination, it's a bit off the beaten track for people who want to head into town or to the ocean beach. But, it's not far at all and it's rather nice to head back to an oasis.

Thank you again East Hampton Point. See you in 2011-- in a dock slip!

My family and I spent a weekend at East Hampton Point. It was great. the staff was kind and willing to go above and beyond. We have very active twin boys. Getting away to the beach for the day was exactly what we needed. Next time we'll bring a sitter but it was very relaxing.

The room at the Palmer House was new and exceptionally clean. However, service at East Hampton Point is minimal, to the point of being non-existent. The worst part is check in. If you arrive past 5, there's not a soul there. The grounds are pitch dark and a maze of cabins and various buildings. The night we arrived (at around 6:30) it was freezing cold and we spent 15 minutes searching for the reception area (very poorly marked). It was only when we chanced upon another guest that we were able to figure out where to go. There is no restaurant off season, and not even a small breakfast. The room does have complimentary coffee (and a maker), but the creamer in the refrigerator obviously had been there so long it was spoiled and not useable. This, even though they charge an obligatory 5% housekeeping on each bill.

Also, if you use GPS to find this place be very careful. It is rather remote and in a very dark area. We learned the hard way that there are TWO 295 Three Mile Harbor Roads about two miles apart from one another (and one is a private home). Out of desperation, having searched for over a half hour (and repeatedly been directed by GPS to the private home at 295 Three Mile Harbor Road), we finally called the hotel number. Since it was past 5, no one was there to pick up, but a hotel employee subsequently called us back. The employee then explained that this happens all the time (GPS directs people to the private home at 295 Three Mile Harbor Road, and that you must input Three Mile Harbor Road/Hog Creek Road). If that's the case, why not tell guests in advance when they make the reservations??

In short, East Hampton Point is a nice place, but could be so much nicer if the staff tried even a LITTLE to make guests feel welcome.

Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend, 2009. There aren't many options for lodging in this area if you aren't renting a house, and that state of affairs leads to laurel-resting, laziness and all the other dangers of insufficient competition.

EHP has build a number of charming rooms/cottages on its property. Ours was new-ish but spartan. Very expensive for what you get, but I am guessing it is among the better options in the area.

My complaints: 1) they charge your credit card when you make the reservation. Is that typcial????

2) they LEAVE the reception desk at 5 pm. No one there. If you fly across the country, then drive for three hours to reach EHP, you cannot get there before 5 pm, and wandering around in the pitch blackness of night having no idea where to find a key is not, in anyone's book, fun. We finally threw ourselves upon the mercy of the restaurant's valet parker, who showed us where to find the key, but then began the real challenge of the night - how to find your room? Three other parties arrived when we did and we all criss-crossed the property in search of our rooms. This is not how an upscale property treats its guests.

Lastly, 3) there IS coffee in the morning down at the marina, but precious little else, and the restaurant does not serve breakfast.

You will pay Four Seasons prices here for the privilege of a glorified camp out. The worst news of all is that it may be the best of your options in the area.
