Disliked: Staff & service
The beach and beach facilities provide by the hotel is first class. The service and food quality at the hotel is not inline with the standard expected at this price point.
We typically stay at their sister property next door but our first time at the Icona Windrift was an exceptional experience. The room & restaurants were amazing and the staff were courteous and helpful. We will definitely stay here again!
Love the hotel everything right there for you staff very nice especially Nancy at the desk. Rooms beautiful clean everything you need beach service included and lots of run night life with music
Rooms much smaller than they look online. Pool towels should have been replaced ages ago. Pool staff are not people friendly and disappear frequently. Avoid Brew Pub. Servers are disorganized and have too many tables to cover.
On the plus side, Avalon Prime was wonderful in every way: food, service and ambiance. Very expensive, but hey, it’s the shore!
The casual restaurant has fabulous pizza!!!

We had a wonderful time. The rooms are a bit small but it was clean and so close to the beach. The dining options nearby are nice. Easy shuttle to either stone harbor or Avalon. Wonderful service by everyone.
The icona team was so friendly and helpful, especially at check in. What a lovely get away. The beach was pristine and amazingly clean. I’m impressed.

Liked: Amenities
Great stay overall. Nice rooms and pleasant and helpful staff. Great amenities including beach chairs and towels. Only suggestion would be to have coffee/tea offered in lobby. In room coffe machines not working
We enjoyed our stay at the start of summer season at Windrift. Staff were super friendly and accomodating, we were able to checkin early.
Loved all the amenities: EV charging, beach loungers and umbrella set up, pool area.
Not overly crowded as most of the guest were from 2 wedding paries and busy with festivities
