Champlin's Marina & Resort

My sister and I had a wonderful stay in June at Champlin’s Resort and Marina. We were in Room 501 which apparently was recently renovated—lovely décor and furnishings, comfortable bed, and an upscale bathroom with a huge walk in shower. There is a slider to a covered porch overlooking Great Salt Pond with a couple of nice chairs for lounging—just the place to read and enjoy the salt air. There is a mini refrigerator but no microwave in the room. Just one caution--this room is over the full service restaurant and there may be more noise in the evening in prime season. The resort has a very nice fairly large pool with lounge chairs on the deck and a cocktail bar. The weather wasn’t optimal for a dip but there were families clearly enjoying it. There are complimentary kayaks and also bicycles (we didn’t use these but they looked fairly new and in good shape). Champlin’s has a shuttle van that runs between Aldo’s in town (a couple blocks from the ferry landing) and the resort and we took advantage of this several times. The drivers are very nice and helpful. We also grabbed some breakfast at the coffee place and had ice cream from the separate small store (nice flavor selection). It was especially helpful that you can leave your luggage with the front desk upon checkout and enjoy the rest of the day on Block. We went kayaking and then used the pool showers before picking up our bags and taking the shuttle back into town to catch the ferry.

Still my favorite place on Block Island. Cleanest AC rooms love the bar at the end of the dock. The bar tenders Jen and Eli are hands down the best bartenders at any establishment over there and we love Rafael and now the the shuttle takes you every where I will be booking my next stay soon!

Great experience overall! The gounds and property here are wonderful. The shuttle service was so convenient, and made totally enjoyable by Raffa's great personality, wealth of local knowledge, and accommodating nature. Special thanks to Raffa and Mustafa!
