The Lodge at Hammock Beach Resort

Would Avoid

4.0

In serious need of refurbishment. Severe lack of maintenance. Mold and mildew in the shower. Worn carpets, furniture and scuffed walls. Not at all what you would expect of a “boutique” hotel. Check-in and check-out was cheerless and uninterested. Like we interrupted them. Only redeeming factor was the ocean front view. But for the money would not return. Would not return. They should be embarrassed at the state of this place.

AVOID -not worth the expense and restless sleep.

We stayed at the Lodge for a quick staycation and golf tournament. The hotel had a musty odor, likely from hurricane-related water damage. Our room had roaches, broken mirrors, dirty walls, moldy grout, and heavily worn furniture. Broken bathroom fan, dirty pillowcases, etc. While we could have overlooked these issues, a wedding reception took place directly below our balcony on Sunday night. When we asked why we weren’t informed at check-in, staff claimed they only receive 24 hours' notice for weddings. They assured us the DJ would stop by 9:30 PM due to city noise regulations, but music continued playing in the lobby and open bar area (one floor below via an open staircase) throughout the night. I called the main resort at 4:30 AM, but the speakers weren’t turned off until 5 AM—just in time for the noise of reversing food trucks making morning deliveries to the on-site restaurant. Management refused to offer any compensation or address the situation for our family.

It’s a pit

This place is horrible the only good thing they have is the golf courses. Old outdated, carpet looks filthy, walls are all chipped, furniture in rooms is terrible They don’t know what’s going on when you call and ask questions before you arrive. Reservations had been made they could of informed us that all but 1 restaurant were closed. Waist of my money and my vacation time

Tired hotel not worth the cost

2.0

Wow, lots of negatives here. The one positive is the location on the beach - but it’s truly the only bright spot. The rooms are tired - chipped furniture, old furniture, scuffed walls - more like a motel than a nice 3 or 4 star hotel (which is what the price would suggest). The restaurant (there were only 2 open in the entire resort) has significant service issues (they forget several of our items; our drinks were left at the bar for 10 min before I finally walked over and picked them up myself; food mediocre). They don’t have room service because of Covid - it’s odd because they won’t even leave the food at your door, yet none of the guests in the restaurant where you pick up food are masked). The pools we tried had dirty, cloudy water, with pool area not maintained. This is a hotel that feels like it will soon be shut down, and they are just letting it go because it has no future. I would avoid this place at all costs.

Great location in need of up dates

We traveled to Palm Coast for golf and stayed at the Lodge. Our room on the third floor had fantastic views of ocean and golf course. The room itself was seriously lacking for a resort that prides themselves on amenities. One, no place to put your clothes! We were there for a week -two adults sharing ONE drawer. There was a closet and a few hangers but ultimately we had to live out of suitcases which was not ideal. Two, only one chair in room to sit down on unless you used bed or an ancient lounge chair. I asked for an additional chair to be sent up but it never arrived. We ended up taking the outside deck furniture in to sit on. Three, everything was very dated, mismatched furniture, which was useless - get rid of the large desk and put in a chest of draws. The cabinet the TV is in is huge for a 40” tv - Lastly, there was no public place in the Lodge to sit. There was a nice restaurant and bar but other than that no lobby area.

Great location/amenities

First time visiting. Bought 2 nights deal from a third party website so decided to give it a try. The lodge has a separate check-in which was nice. Given that it only has 20 bedrooms, it was a quick process. Guy at the front desk was helpful explaining all the amenities offered on site. We got a room with balcony facing the 18th green which was awesome. Cannot beat this location. We were literally 50 yards from the beach access. Chairs/umbrella/towel service at the beach was a huge bonus. Resort offered several amenties that we found were helpful to keep kids entertained. Mini golf (could use better maintenance but was fun), bike rental (only good for 1st hour) and fantasy pool complex was awesome. Rooms are ok. Nothing to go crazy about. Furniture is somewhat outdated. Could use more lights in the room. Balcony is fairly big, plenty big enough for two adults. Part of our check-in had a mini bottle of champagne. Awesome surprise! The lodge pool is smaller but less crowded which was nice. Overall, enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.
