What guests are saying about The 1661 Resort:
"Just had a wonderful 2 night stay. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful. I feel so rested and relaxed, exactly what you want from a vacation. Breakfast was generous and why not have a mimosa at 9am? The 4:00 bites and sips was also lovely and a nice moment to interact with other guests and attentive staff. The farm across the street was a delight! A camel?! Kangaroos and lemurs?! Can’t wait to come back in warmer weather."

The breakfast buffet, and the "wine and nibbles" served at 4:00 every afternoon were delicious...and at no extra charge. However the true test of their excellent hospitality was proven when a hurricane came roaring in on Sunday. There would be no more ferries until Wednesday morning. So our original two nights became four. Our extra nights were chanrged at half price. Our original room was in a second building a 5 minute walk away, but for the last two nights we were moved to the main building. It was a spacious, beautiful room with a bathroom you dream about. The breakfast and afternoon nibbles were still provided every day, even though the extra guests were not planned and there were no ferries coming in with supplies. The hotel owners and their staff could not have been more gracious throughout the experience. I highly recommend 1661 Resort to anyone of any age visiting Block Island."

The newly renovated and spacious two bedroom Cottage is perfectly located: with a view of the ocean, adjacent to the 1661 garden, animal farm and yoga studio, across the street from the 1661 Inn, and a short walk to town. This is the third 1661 Resort property we have stayed in and we continue be impressed by the warm, friendly staff as well as the condition of the properties. Don’t miss the delicious champagne breakfast (available at the Inn), which features fresh vegetables straight from the inn's own expansive garden. The owner, Rita Draper, is a truly wonderful hostess, and it was clear how much she and her staff care about making every guest's experience special. With cozy rooms, incredible food, and unparalleled hospitality, the 1661 Resort exceeded all our expectations. We can't wait to return!"
