Guide Review - Inn at Spanish Bay
We award a rare (for this picky reviewer) 4.5 stars to the Inn at Spanish Bay. Every aspect of the place is top-notch, the staff are friendly and helpful without being cloying.
Rooms and public areas are best described as comfortably elegant. The outdoor patio is unbeatable on a pretty day. Late every afternoon, a bagpiper makes his way across the grounds. Kids play in the grass, uninhibited adults may take a nap on the grass and the ocean views draw everyone's gaze. Nearby Roy's restaurant has an outdoor patio with the same views, making it a great place for a meal.
