Beach Plum Resort

We have been coming for years Great property at reasonable prices View from upper units is magnificent Staff and management were helpful courteous friendly will continue to come back every year. You can walk to town and private beach is across street I have recommended to friends and family and no one has been disappointed

Just ok. Not what we hoped for. Beds are AWFUL. Parking is impossible. The corner unit suppose to sleep 6?!? 2 small double beds — and an awful pull out couch. Would fit 3 – 4 people better! We are 5 and it’s hard.
The AC units are weird. Very noisy, either freezing or sweltering — they just don’t work well.
The pool is small, but very clean.
Room also nice & clean and pretty décor (unit 6) but these beds — SO bad.
Beach beautiful — but it’s a bit of a walk if you have a lot of stuff to bring (too bad you don’t provide chairs, umbrellas beach plum) .
Likely wouldn’t stay here again unless the bed situation was upgraded!

I normally don’t do this but i had to write a bad review. I booked the Beach Plum resort for last weekend. On our way into Montauk, my boyfriend and I recieved a call from Keith (think he might be a manager) saying that the $ 240 room that i booked wasnt available. Something about the owner of the condo was in town that weekend when he wasnt supposed to be. Not sure how they couldve gotten this mixed up when i only booked the condo 2 days before we went. Shouldnt he have known this by 2 days before? As a courtesy he told me he’d give me a room at the neighboring property for 20% less. I said okay. Then i paid $ 185 for «The Breakers» resort, after being told that it was the same caliber as the beach plum resort (which I’d viewed online). When we got to «the breakers», it was not the same caliber. It looked like the beach version of the motel 6. I wouldnt have stayed there for $ 50; let alone $ 185. Even though it was «renovated», it was old and unappealing. The bed in the studio didnt even have a headboard on it. Just the frame. I told the front desk clerk that if she couldnt get me a room at the beach plum, then i wasnt staying (the beach plum is next door and actually looks descent). It took a hour for her to contact Keith, for her to call and offer me a room at «the driftwood «for $ 300. I said no way and and requested all my money back. So after $ 425, no room and i still had to book another hotel. Not sure about you guys but its really disappointing to have to spend $ 425 on a vacation weekend on a room that i didnt even occupy, even though ill be getting the money back, it was a real inconvenience. And btw, its business day 3 and i still havent seen my refund. Never again!

Super solid 4 stars, especially in the off season (as I’d imagine is the case with any coastally located lodgings on the Eastern seabord). Celebration of the off season is why I’m writing this now, because people looking for spots by the sea in the dead of winter might be at a loss for what’s even available to them during these months.
Even a terrible fight with your boyfriend mainly carried out in silence and bitter emotional detachment by suffocation cannot completely ruin one’s appreciation for a beach facing unit here, complete with a slightly lumpen but cleanly linened queen bed and gigantic wooden deck outfitted with enough reclining beach chairs for a little party.
Upon entering, one encounters a full kitchen with knives, silverware, a microwave, and a coffee machine in case you want to or need to feed a whole family. Full sized fridge and freezer, too.
The renovated, marble tiled bathroom with state-​of-​the-​art shower head and deeper-​than-​usual bathroom is a welcome surprise in contrast to the rest of the place, which is well lit by several different lamp options by night and natural sunlight during the daytime. The wall mounted flat screen TV broadcasting cable also provides an upgrade to the generally shabby chic (but again, CLEAN) feel of this place.
The pool is a trip into a Hockney painting if you can get into it before it gets really cold and they shut it down. On Columbus Day Weekend, it was unheated, but still bearable, and I was alone it it with only the sounds of my own splashing and the waves across the sea to break a dreamlike kind of silence.
Only issue is that there is no room service and though each unit comes with a guide of nearby businesses, you will be out of luck if you haven’t scored your food by like 8 p. m…of course this isn’t the establishment’s fault, but the ignorance of two people who forgot they weren’t in Manhattan anymore. As fir service in general, the folks in the office are very helpful and kind at check-​in, then hands off during your stay. They are not there in the wee hours. Be warned in case you’re a high maintenance type of guest.
The beach is accessible by crossing the road and venturing through a sea path that winds through the dunes and tall mangroves. Like much of Montauk (and any other exposed shore), the water looks rough and wild. The sand, though, is spotless. Looking out at the slate colored deep, one really feels one has gotten way, both in terms of time and place.
I know I couldn’t bear to be anywhere in Montauk once the crowds come. This is the way to do it; find a snug little home full of fall or winter light, facing the horizon.

We stayed this past weekend from Thurs-​Sun. We rented the two corner units that slept 6 people a piece. Before arriving, I inquired about the parking situation as the rules are one car per unit; however with a group of 12 we were going to have 3 cars. They were very accommodating and helpful with this. On Thursday, I received an email from Gary asking what time we would be checking in so that keys could be left if it was after the office closed. We arrived several hours earlier than check in and the rooms were already ready. We were given the keys immediately and able to move our stuff in. The property was relatively quiet. The staff was wonderful, providing extra keys when guests were locked out and being understanding about us leaving with one of the keys by mistake (which we did send back). The living room area was large enough for all 12 of us to hang out before going out and in the morning for breakfast. Overall a great property, approximately one mile from the mayhem of town. The beach was peaceful and a short walk across the street. I highly recommend this property.

The Beach Plum is definitely for the Beach Bums. The Montauk trip has become a tradition with us, and after trying a few places, I think we finally found the one that will stick.
The room was studio apartment style w/​a kitchenette, which is key, so you can bring food to cook and drinks to save a little cash for the few day stay.
The décor went with the obvious beach motif, but it was new and clean, and pretty well done, not tacky at all.
Actually most of the place seemed new if not extremely clean, which is not what I can say of some other places Montauk has to offer.
Price was extremely reasonable for the «in season» rates. Pool access, or a short walk across the beach, and less than a mile to Main St its location is near perfect.
My only complaint is the bed. It was so stiff it was like a bouncy table.
Replace the beds, and you got a 5er.

I think Tiffany M. may have had an isolated incident because her post made me really reluctant staying here but the hotel ended up being a really great value and the weekend was fun! They offer a 2 night minimum instead of a 3 night minimum and their prices were more reasonable. They offer a late-​night check-​in which is really awesome because I came in around 10pm (after the office was closed).
The hotel is situated about 10 minute walk from the ocean. Insanely close! The pool… err well if the ocean is right there I’m not concerned about a pool. ALL of our outlets and outdoor lighting worked. The walls were not that thin. I heard kids stomping but never heard conversations… its like an apartment, nothing crazy. Most hotel products are not top-​notch to begin with so unless Vidal Sasoon struck a deal with the motel its not going to be the best lol. I did not venture in the Wi-​Fi because I left that stuff in New York City. My phone had service. The AC worked a bit too well but there were comforter. There was a kitchen with all the basics needed for cooking… and the maid cleaned all the dishes! This hotel was well kept and cleaned.
I talked to reception and he was saying how people would know something’s wrong with a room but wait until they check out to complain. SO STUPID! If something was wrong with my room I’d be first on line to have them honor our reservations. This place is located around a 15 minute walk from the main stretch in Montauk. This place was awesome and everything was priced properly; best value thus far. I am doing this again and I suggest this place to others.

I wanted to book a last minute trip to Montauk for Memorial day weekend… Beach Plum Resort was the only place with an availability, so I booked it eventhough I knew they jacked the price up for the holiday weekend. Their website was decent and they were really friendly over the phone so my fiancé and I were super excited to get away from our busy lives and chill for a good 24 hours. Check in was at 3pm, which is a little later than most places, but whatever… we had the whole beach to hang out on while we killed time. Once we finally got in our room we noticed a few things right off the bat. First, there was a HUGE splatter of god knows what on the wall. I kept telling myself it was beer but since it was right above the headboard, it was hard to believe. Second, like NONE of the outlets worked! I needed to recharge my phone not only was the socket so shitty that it wouldn’t hold an iphone plug, once I finally shuffled things around to a plug that would actually hold it, the freaking socket was dead! When I am at the beach, it is mandatory that I bring a hair straightener. After waiting on the beach for a couple of hours to check in, my hair was a mess! I plug in my straightener and walk away for a few minutes, come back and my iron is cold. Ok… so I used the second socket… still nothing! The balcony light did not work either which was annoying. What if I wanted to read on the balcony at night or play cards or something?! Check that shit before you charge 200 $ for a normally 68 $ room!!!
The walls and floors were paper thing so we heard EVERYTHING… which was gross and uncomfortable. Bring ear plugs! Also be prepared to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hair dryer and TOILET PAPER if you don’t want rash from what they tp provide.
My final complaint is about the pool. Not only is it like an oversize bath tub but it opens at 9am and closes at 6pm! No pool needs to open up at 9am… I did not enjoy listening to screaming kids before breakfast. It also would have been nice to use the pool at night… not at midnight or anything, but at like 9 or 10:00pm.
I lied, one more thing… they brag about free wi-​fi and not once did my phone or computer connect to the damn thing. Good thing I did not NEED to do any work while stay at this craptastic place.
I would not recommend staying here. there are a ton of better places that don’t have spunk splattered on the wall or shitty outlets. Be smart and book in advance!
