Embassy Suites by Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort

Have always loved the Cavelier Spa and restaurants. So I was so happy to book a last minute couples night away with my husband for our 15 year at the Embassy Suites and was not disappointed. The decor and aesthetic is amazing. The music theme was so fun. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. We walked over to Orion’s Roof for dinner which is also a family favorite. It was a great 24 hour stay.

Marleigh at the Tacos and Tequila bar made an awesome non alcoholic Pineapple cucumber lime Margarita!! Super pleasant to the patrons. Thank you.

We have stayed at several Embassy Suites and this particular Embassy runs a bit different than what we are used to. Its not necessarily bad but if you aren't aware beforehand, it can alter your overall experience. First off, PARKING: Parking garage is connected to the Marriott hotel. They are very very tight spots and if you are trying to load/unload your vehicle during peak check-in/check-out times bring your patience. Embassy front desk staff were super friendly and helpful. The Embassy lobby is small. We are use to big open atriums with room to spread out. They have made the most out of their lack of space. Decor is neat! The included evening reception (2 drinks per adult) and morning breakfast are held in Arbuckle's Bar and Grill in the lobby. The breakfast was the hardest part to get used to. It has the typical Embassy breakfast buffet and a made-to-order omelette station with an outstanding chef preparing your omelette. Being able to get to the breakfast was a headache though. They have a hostess that seats you in the cramped restaurant area. The line tends to get long as you are just trying to get seated. Once seated you can make your way to enjoy the food. Before you leave a "waiter/waitress" brings you what looks like a bill to pay. It shows a $0 total but then leaves lines to fill out a tip. Between the being seated and "bill" the first breakfast morning can be confusing. The evening reception was ok. We had several GREAT bartenders during our week. One was a bit "Bah Humbug-ish" but she was only there one night. Same snacks every night got a little boring. Outdoor pool area/fire pit was relaxing and even during busy times you could find somewhere to sit. The extra activities included were a hit with our family. My adult children even said that although some of the activities were less than they expected (like the Jacks Jungle was only ONE snake) they still enjoyed them. The Cavalier Resort grounds were beautiful to explore. The Embassy guest rooms are narrow but accommodating. The fridge is as MINI as you can get. Guest laundry has 2 washer/dryers that are credit card only. It is next to a decent fitness center on 3rd floor. Additional details that I would have liked to have known myself: Your room key is in the form of a stretchy wristband that you wear around the resort. Embassy is within walking distance to the 3 mile boardwalk that runs along the beach. The boardwalk has lots restaurants and shops plus 2 playgrounds. 1 for little kids to enjoy and another one for adults to enjoy. If you are looking for a great place to stay with a family in Virginia Beach I would highly recommend this Embassy Suites!
