One thing I have to mention is that the wonderful Regis (bartender) is unfortunately gone. Other guys are good, but this business will definitely suffer without Regis. He was the only reason we came over to hang out at the bar even though the bar itself didn't look all that great. (we stayed at the Caribe Hilton). The beach is very nice in front of the Atlantic Beach hotel.

If you are looking for the Ritz Carlton then book it, and do not book here. If you are looking for a clean, fun place to stay and relax then book here at the Atlantic Beach Hotel. I read reviews on this sight and was quite hesitant to stay here but I am glad that I did. The staff was fun, friendly, and quite helpful. The management was willing to please the guests and make the stay as comfortable as possible. The accommodations are not four star but the service is. Everyone working there helped to make my stay exciting and fun.
The bar had a great mix of tourists and locals, it was low key and they prepared fabulous cocktails from 11 a.m. until late in the night. I happened to be there for New Year’s Eve and we partied and had a great time. The staff went out of their way again to make the evening exciting.
I will be returning next year and I hope that more people overlook the negative reviews and give this place a chance.

We recently stayed here before and after a cruise. While the facilities may not be 5 star, the location and friendly staff more than make up for that!

The hotel is located right on the beach with free beach chairs available to hotel guests and beach towels provided after leaving a refundable deposit at the front desk. The bar also overlooks the beach and is great for people watching or sitting back with a drink and enjoying the waves.

The staff went "above and beyond" to make sure we were comfortable and were very friendly. From Chris at the front desk, Dedrick at the bar, Carlos serving drinks on the beach and providing lawn chairs, to Gabriel working the bar......everyone was outstanding!

If you are looking for a 5 star hotel with impeccably decorated rooms, this is not the place for you. But if you want an affordable, clean room right on the beach with a bar on premises and an outstanding staff, you would very much enjoy the Atlantic Beach Hotel!

I know we will be back!!!!

It's located between 2 abandoned hotels. A lot of guys hang outside the hotel starting around 10 pm. The elevator does not work, if you want to use it for your luggage. My friend and I stayed in a non ocean front room. It was very tiny, the AC is always blasting, the bedsheets as well as bath towels had stains on them. The bathroom was dusty and very small, no windows to let the heat out. There are no microwaves or refrigerators anywhere, so if you're going to eat out, which most likely you will, eat all of it at the restauarant. A lot of our food went to waste. The staff were very nice, they have people at the front desk 24 hours. Watch out for the $3.50 cans of soda at the bar. Not the best place to stay, We definetely would not stay there again. You have Walgreens, restaurants, souvenir shops, and starbucks in the neighborhood.
