Our experience at the resort was quite disappointing overall. While the massages at the spa were excellent and the room had potential, unfortunately, we faced numerous issues that detracted from our stay. The valet parking was a nightmare, the cleanliness of our room left much to be desired, and the dining options were not up to par. The beautiful views of the waterfront could not make up for the lack of service and attention to detail.

My stay at the resort was overshadowed by numerous issues. The location by the water has great potential, but the experience was marred by long valet times and poorly coordinated room bookings. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the great massages at the spa, the overall lack of cleanliness and dining options left much to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The massage services were exceptional and truly one of the best I've ever had. However, I was disappointed with the room quality and the dining options. The cleanliness could have been better, and I did not enjoy the view from my balcony room. The location is convenient with easy access to local attractions, but some aspects need improvement.

The room I stayed in had a huge jacuzzi tub, but the water pressure was incredibly low, making it frustrating to fill. Additionally, I found the cleanliness was lacking, with our comforter having a blood stain on it.

Most of the staff were professional and polite, which helped ease some of the frustrations, but I did encounter one rude staff member who dampened the experience.

The resort is located right on the bay, not too far from local attractions, but there’s no beach access directly nearby.

The breakfast options were very limited and not impressive. I ended up going to a restaurant across the walkway as the complimentary breakfast was quite underwhelming.

I stayed at this resort for a romantic getaway, and while it had some great aspects like beautiful waterfront views and a clean, pleasant room, my experience was marred by some significant drawbacks. The disappointing balcony view and lackluster dining options left me feeling less than impressed, but the spa and overall atmosphere held some redeeming qualities.

I had a mixed experience at the Chesapeake Beach Resort/Rod 'N' Reel. The hotel's location by the waterfront is absolutely beautiful, and I loved the stunning sunrise views. However, the service was disappointing, particularly with check-in, and the condition of the rooms left a lot to be desired, especially with the ongoing renovations. Overall, while the setting is lovely, the service and room quality could use significant improvement.
