We had a lovely stay at Belmar Spa & Beach Resort. The location was really great - we could walk 2 minutes to the beach, it was super quiet, and drinks & dinner in historic downtown every night was just a 4-5 minute uber/bolt.

Our one bedroom apartment had a lovely view of the ocean and an inifinity pool, which made sunsets very pretty. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio with some charcuterie and wine to enjoy the view! The apartment had a washing machine which was super helpful, and a drying rack on the porch.

The restaurant was closed for the month, which we knew in advance so I can't speak to that, or how the breakfasts are.

It was very nice to have a gym available, and there are outdoor pools but we learned that they are not heated, so not usable a this time.

My disappointment was that a big part of why I booked this resort was for the indoor heated pool, and hydrotherapy/hot tub. When we arrived Saturday, they gave us a rundown but didn't mention the indoor water so I asked, and got a response that was pretty vague but ultimately that they had a fire in that room during the week, they were investigating it, and he had no idea when it would be open. I asked again the following day and got a non-answer. I finally spoke to a very nice woman at reception and she explained a little more and it became pretty obvious (even though no one said this) that we would not have access our whole trip. A week after the fire, that spa/pool area was set to be closed for reno work/maintenance, so interesting timing possibly. Anyway, I was a little upset that no one notified us of this closure prior to arrival, or even upon arrival. I feel bad that this happened and it is not the staff's fault at all.

Anyway, when everything is up and working I could imagine this being the perfect stay!

The resort itself is beautiful with a wonderful view. The rooms are nice, however our kitchen quickly became infested with ants. The gym is really good and I had a wonderful massage therapist. As another reviewer states, jacuzzi has about 1% of the jets working and is the same temperature as the indoor pool.
I will say some of the front desk and restaurant staff were rude and unwelcoming. Also we were given 2 coffee pods and we were charged for additional pods. Even the most basic and cheap hotels provide enough coffee for your stay.

Bed was comfy, pillows not so much. About a half hour walk to the old town and quite a steep hill to walk up. Great place to stay if you have a car or can get Bolt or Uber to work. 2 outdoor pools (1 adults only) 1 indoor pool. A beautiful beach with 2 restaurants just down the hill is worth exploring.
