Frequently Asked Questions

What are the wristbands for?
As of June 2020 our property has implemented a wristband program, this program is to ensure that guests can enjoy our property without overcrowding by non-guests. We have someone on the property checking wristbands to ensure that only checked in guests are using the amenities. Only actively checked-in persons with reservations at the hotel are permitted to use the pool and beach. Unfortunately, this does mean if a guest has family staying at another property, that family will not be permitted to use our pool or beach. Day passes cannot be purchased. Wristbands are required to be returned at check out, otherwise they are subject to a $20 charge per band.
What is the Resort Fee and what does it include?
As of November 2020 Surfside has added a daily Resort Fee of $25 per day to all reservations. This fee was implemented to enhance the guest experience and to add amenities to the property that have not existed before. These enhancements have been long requested by our guests. You spoke, we listened! The resort fee covers the following items: property wide wifi service (increased speed and quality), on-site parking (1 car per room), free overflow parking for trailers and extra vehicles, access to the pool, access to the beach, pool towels, local calls, and daily in room coffee with condiments.
Do you allow pets?
Sorry, but we are not pet friendly.
I have an emergency and can’t come. Can you waive the cancellation policy?
We have a firm cancellation policy. We understand things happen, but a reservation is a commitment to take a room for the duration of the reservation. Visit the Policy Page for the full Cancellation Policy.
Are there smoking rooms?
All rooms are non-smoking. You are welcome to smoke in designated smoking areas. Smoking in a room will result in a deep cleaning fee of $250 added to your bill.
