Looking at a fall trip, but torn between where to stay, as well as a few random questions that locals/frequent visitors may have the inside scoop on. Feel free to chime in on some or all!
1. We're spending roughly a week down there, most likely a party of 3 or 4. I definitely want to stay on-site, but keep going back and forth on where to stay. I've stayed in standard Cabana Bay rooms 3 times, and have walked through all the other hotels briefly (excluding the Endless Summer hotels). My main debate is between:
- CB Exterior Pool Suite (~$145 w/ AP discount)
- Endless Summer Pool Suite (~$126 w/ AP discount)
- Aventura Skyline Standard Room (~$135 w/ AP discount)
2. If Endless Summer is the move, what the preference between Surfside and Dockside? My gut says Dockside, but I've only seen these resorts through videos so I have nothing real to judge each off of.
3. This is where I need the local, or big boozers help. What are the top bars to hit in the local area (walk or Uber)? The main thing I'm looking for is to be able to have a good time without the expensive $10-$20 price tag that comes with on-site drinks (but also not looking for a total dive bar).
4. For my HHN gang, where do we like boozing in terms of hotels or citywalk as a little pre-game? Finnegan's/Duff are nice for when we're already in the park, but what are the spots outside? I've heard there's hurricanes in CW? Is Hard Rock Cafe or the frozen margaritas stand the place to hit?
Think that's all I've got for now. See y'all in the fog.
