Tamarack Beach Resort & Hotel

We booked through hotels.com and learned after we arrived that the resort has two parts: Hotel rooms on the first floor and condos upstairs. We usually like an upstairs room but were told they were not available, which wasn’t apparent when making the reservation. Our room was okay: It was a bit dated, with a loud fan that blasted too much air but helpfully drowned out street noise. Our ocean view was over the tops of cars driving by. The room did come with a free continental breakfast that is only available for hotel guests, not if you are in the condos. The condos can be rented through the hotel or other platforms and I don’t know how they compare with the hotel rooms. The resort is very well located near restaurants and the beach. It also has an underground garage, which really helped because it was raining heavily when we arrived. TLDR: the hotel does the job but I would not come back.

I absolutely loved it here. I only booked for 1 night stay and wish I stayed longer. The staff was great, location was excellent, the amount of amenities they offered was absolutely perfect for having my 2 grandson 6, and 8 years old. They had a rec room with games to check out , a huge variety of dad's, ping pong, pool tables , heated pool, 2 spas, a daily list of activities, a hotel scavenger hunt , huge patio where u step outside to ocean views. We walked across to the beach. Robes folded in the room. Very spacious. Plenty of pillows, comfortable beds. Shower was good. Breakfast was continental breakfast which was fine. There is a restaurant or bar but I didn't go there . Heard good things from locals though. I will 100% book again and for longer ! Fred at the front desk for check in was friendly and helpful.

This hotel should be called motel, needs to be updated. Bathroom are very old looking, old style toilet. When we arrived there was no welcome, no smiles, no information of area. When you arrive at your destination its nice to see a warm welcoming face and smile. Not here!!! The best part was when a scheduled protest with thousands of people gathered right in front of our ocean front room, screaming and yelling!! it was a horrible experience!! I think it was the hotels responsibility to inform guests before, giving them the option to stay elsewhere. A whole expensive day charge lost due to this protest. The web site is very much outdated. We would never return!!!

Staff was extremely nice including housekerping who got us a couple of better pillows. The original ones were hard and uncomfortable. The mattress was fine. Hotel quiet. Towels were plentinful and good. Hotel even provided large beach towels. The room looked recently renovated ane housekeeping said new pillows would be coming soon to the hotel. The room would have got a higher rating except for the hvac system fan blew too hard and a bit noisy. The continental breakfast was at best ok. Waffles were madwe that were good. There was bacon & sausage no eggs. Cereal was basically sweet ones pl7s granola. Oatmeal not made. It was instant.

Positive: The location was perfect! I also enjoyed the only Hotel on the strip with free parking. Perfect for 1 night stay. Negative: N/A

Pros: everyone was so nice and the pool/resort were constantly being cleaned and tidied throughout our stay. The beds and pillows were phenomenal. Location couldn’t possibly be better. Cons: Breakfast was just okay. Only hot items offered daily were sausage and bacon. No potatoes or anything else. We asked if they would have eggs at least and the attendant said the only eggs they offered were cold and boiled in the fridge. Odd choice for breakfast. Bathrooms could use an updating for the price of the stay. Tiles were ill fitting and seemed almost out of place and shower pressure was lacking. Air is loud but it never bothered us, really.

This was our second time staying at the resort and we had a great time, the location is perfect. They keep the resort clean and all the staff from front desk to the housemaids, the maintenance guy, to the staff for the continental breakfast all are friendly and welcoming abd helpful, would definitely recommend staying here . We look forward to our next trip. Thank you for the Hospitality. 😊
