The Historic Cavalier Hotel And Beach Club

"The experience staying at the Cavalier far exceeded expectations. Our family has a lot of holiday traditions to get into the spirit of the season, but our stay at the Cavalier has now risen to the top of that list. The room and bathroom were gorgeous and felt very comfortable and cozy. We got better sleep in the room than we do at home! The customer service from top to bottom was better than I've experienced at any hotel. Everyone is kind, positive and went out of their way to anticipate our needs. We felt like we were truly valued as guests. The resort amenities were also beyond what we imagined. There was turndown service, afternoon tea, photos with Santa, s'mores byt the fire, a carriage ride and so much more we didn't even have the time to fit in. Most importantly though, the staff at the Cavalier spend a lot of time and care turning the hotel into what can only be described as a winter wonderland. The lights, the decorations and the winter-themed treats were all the perfect setting to get into the holiday spirit. Thank you to the Cavalier for such an amazing December trip. Special shout out to Carlo who was so kind and helpful welcoming us to our room, Robert for being such a great Bourbon host and Lars for showing us a new standard for hospitality!"

"Looking for a place to have a Christmas Celebration Weekend with my BFF of 60+ years, we found the Cavalier, which was midway between both of our homes. From the moment that I laid eyes on the spectacular beautifully decorated property on the hill, my mind started collecting one lovely image and experience after another. The front desk staff of Jessita and Jaliese offered information about dining choices as well as events for the weekend while offering a glass of sparkling wine to kick off our celebration. Their smiles and demeanor were warm and sincere and made us feel like we were cherished old friends. While taking in one gorgeous fresh floral installation after another, we were escorted to our room by Carlo, who offered an efficient dismantling of our very full cart while pointing out all of the details of our very well appointed room. His courtesy and care made us feel like the most important guests that he was serving while he constantly flashed his million dollar smile. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast both mornings and were extremely well cared for by Beth on the second morning. Her attention to detail nearly made us forget how many guests she was servicing at the same time. I could write a novel about the Cavalier and all the beauty and experiences. One that I cannot fail to mention is meeting the most beautiful and kindest Santa and receiving a free photo to remember our amazing Christmas adventure at the Cavalier. We live six hours away but I immediately told my husband, children and grandchildren that this is a place that we need to visit together. I can’t wait to go back!"

"I absolutely loved my staycation at the Cavalier Resort! The staff were incredible—so kind, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. From the historic tour and horse-drawn carriage ride to wine and paint and so many other activities, we felt both relaxed and entertained with plenty to do. The pool and lounging areas were fantastic, and I especially loved the little touches and experiences that made our stay truly unique. My partner and I had an amazing time, and we will definitely be back!"
