For a two-star older hotel, this place is in good shape. We lived the location, the balcony, and the breakfast. There's also an outdoor pool open until 11 PM, an indoor pool, and a gym. There's supposedly a hot tub as well, but we didn't see where it was. The room was large, and the basic necessities were all there.

It is an older hotel, so things like furniture and decor are a bit outdated. Plastic cups, instead of glasses, very small and thin pool towels, no place to fill up a water bottle (though there is a vending machine). Also, would have liked a small table on the balcony, a bedstand on the other side of the bed, and definitely more convenient outlets. For instance, there was no option to plug in my phone near the bed.

The view was spectacular. The room and deck were very nice. We enjoyed the hot tub and all of the surroundings. Breakfast was very good. TV and internet worked fine. Bed was comfortable. It was nice having a refrigerator. Air conditioning worked well. We enjoyed coming back to our little slice of heaven after our daily activities such as boating, swimming, biking, dining out, etc. We did not want to leave.

We are used to grab bars in our shower at home so we missed that and we had to be extra careful while taking a shower. My husband would have preferred a higher toilet. But, these minor inconveniences will not prevent us from returning to this lovely hotel.

The location on the bay is amazing. All rooms have a water view. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has an amazing gym. Although not on the main strip, it was within walking distance of a few favorite places (Amarin for coffee and croissants. Yum).

The hotel is a bit dated, however, it is kept in great shape and very clean. I could hear every step the people above me took because the floors were very creaky. Since it is an older facility the outlets to charge electronics weren't in the best locations, not a deal breaker, but a minor inconvenience.

The location, the beautiful views and the privacy of not seeing other guests while sitting and relaxing on our balcony. We felt like it was our own personal hide away to relax and enjoy the views without the interference of others on their balcony’s as well.

The fact that they were not accommodating to us renting a golf cart to enjoy the island. We were told we absolutely could charge it and without worry, then once we did we were told we couldn’t plug it in because we couldn’t block the accesses that were close to where to plug in. THANKFULLY we had a friend on the island who let us plug in at her place or we would have been in a jam. We wouldn’t have rented it had we known it was going to pose a problem.

No microwave in room

We love to stay at this resort. It has an old school "home" vibe. The accommodations are not high tech or modern but the feel is always comfort and "at home". We love the breakfast that they offer, the staff asked every morning if we needed anything while they cleaned our room, and everything was kept extremely tidy and clean. My child loved the accessibility to fishing. This is our favorite place to stay on the island!

I only wish the room had a microwave.

The room had a lot of open space and very comfortable. The balcony view was breathtaking! Staff was very friendly when we arrived and checked out. Ms. Becky in the breakfast cafe was excellent! Very accommodating, had the cafe super clean and provided whatever was needed. You arrived as a visitor and at the end of your visit she was your friend. Breakfast was the highlight of our trip along with the view. Will definitely return to Island Resort! One of our favorite places to stay.

There wasn’t anything I disliked.

The Island resort will be our new Chincoteague destination when we go. Everyone was so welcoming. It didn’t feel like a hotel at all. It felt more like you were coming home. The services were amazing! Free spa room, free breakfast, free laundry, pools, etc. The room over looked the ocean and docks which was so beautiful it was breathtaking. Every morning you can hear the boats on the water in a peaceful way. The property is very charming and immaculately clean. I usually don’t like to sleep on hotel sheets but these were like new! there wasn’t one speck on dust or dirt anywhere. This is definitely a steal for the price you pay!

nothing! it was perfect!

The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Our room and the pool were very clean and we were just short walk to stores and restaurants. My husband and I loved sitting on the bench swing and watching the boats pass by. I read some reviews about the decor being outdated but I loved the retro feel it gave off and would definitely stay again!

Honestly it didn’t bother us much at all but the ac unit was pretty noisy as it cut on throughout the night.

I love the entire stay! The resort was very clean and quiet, the staff were very professional and friendly. They also answered all my questions of things to do and places to visit and dinner. The breakfast at the resort was very good, the host was very friendly and professional. The view from y room was great overlooking the water from the balcony, and the room was very clean. I would recommend Island Resort to family and friends
