What Guests Are Saying

“We had an absolute blast on our family vacation here. The oceanfront suite was amazing. I feel like I could touch the ocean from the balcony. The room was so comfortable, if you plan on using the sofa bed - I didn’t even pull the bed out, I thought the couch was comfortable as is. The kids had the best time, they really loved that the front desk gave them some cute toys for the beach. What stood out the most was how incredibly kind the staff was to my mom who uses a walker - they were constantly holding doors open for her, and just treating her with so much care and respect. It made the whole trip feel special and stress-free for all of us.” — Megan G., 5 stars

“The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel sits in a perfect location, right on the beach. It is also in walking distance to the main road with restaurants and shops. The Victorian decor is fun and makes the visit feel both upscale and homey. We are confident of its cleanliness and the lack of noise. The staff including birds, Peanut, Emro and Moose, are always friendly, entertaining, and helpful. Amenities, including the restaurant, pub, music nights, happy hours, room service, gym, yoga classes, mini-pool, parking, among other things combine to make for a great get-away.” — frau55pat, 5 stars

“The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel in Rehoboth Beach, DE is the place to go. The old Victorian Charm is wonderful if you are a senior citizen. The location right on the Boardwalk is perfect for people watching, and the rooms are clean, spacious, and perfectly decorated. We were there to celebrate a birthday, and we were pleasantly surprised with a cheese tray and wine from the Hotel. We usually go to the Hotel during the off season, but they made this trip worth the money.” — Claude419, 5 stars
