The Chateau By The Sea has a charming beach vibe, with pleasant access to the beautiful sand and surf. The view from the oceanfront rooms is stunning, and the beds were comfortable. However, the dated interiors and the lack of elevators can pose challenges, especially for those with mobility issues. Service was lacking at times, and I experienced some maintenance issues during my stay, which detracted from the overall experience.
