Marjac Suites Virginia Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Bien"

Hilton Vacation Club Oceanaire Virginia Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed from September 18 through September 23 and enjoyed it. Staff were all very polite and welcoming. The boy at front desk was polite and offered extra help on evening my daughter had her purse stolen while she was out get ice cream and shopping. I recommend everyone to at least give them a try."

Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the ability to use amenities from the 3 properties. The free shuttle to the Historic Cavalier Hotel awesome! We ate at Becca’s and our meal was 5-Star as always. I would just remind myself to book on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday as they are when there is music. We also love the feel of being in the Bahamas with the view, the seating and the music!"
