I had a very frustrating experience with the reservation process at the hotel. While I eventually got a reservation for one room, I was mistakenly charged for two. On the plus side, the location is excellent and there's potential for a pleasant stay, but the communication and response to issues left much to be desired.

Drakes Island Resort is a real treasure, blending a cozy charm with a dog-friendly atmosphere. My stay was incredibly comfortable in a lovely studio cottage with a private deck. The service from Chelsea and her team was outstanding, making us feel genuinely welcomed. However, the room we initially booked felt a bit cramped, and there were some outdated aspects that could use an upgrade, which held us back from giving this place a perfect score.

I had a wonderful weekend getaway at this lovely resort! The cottage we stayed in was spacious and very clean, making it a comfortable retreat. The staff was incredibly helpful and made excellent suggestions for local dining and activities. However, my experience with the reservation process was quite frustrating, as there were issues with duplicate bookings. Overall, this is a great place to stay with a delightful environment and friendly team, but be cautious with the reservation system.

Drake's Island Resort is a hidden gem that offers a cozy and clean retreat, especially for dog lovers. The bungalows are well-kept, creating a homelike feeling that makes you want to return. The staff, particularly Chelsey, truly makes you feel like family, and the location is ideal for beach access and local activities. One minor drawback is that while everything was great, I would have loved a few more amenities on-site for unexpected needs.
