Adam’s Oceanfront Resort

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I loved the close access to the beach and staying at a pet friendly hotel. We stayed in one of the villas with our family. Great ocean views. They work hard to keep the place updated and maintained. The villas kitchens are completely stocked so you are ready to to go. Plenty of towels pillows and blankets for everyone.

Our favorite vacation spot!!! Adams Oceanfront Resort is the best! We are a family of 5 and we stay in a Villa! Staff is wonderful! Our stay has always been great!

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the last 9 – 10 years. It’s my favorite hotel in the area. It’s away from the riff raff, ON the ocean, has a nice pool, etc. The rooms are always clean. They aren’t fancy but this isn’t the Four Seasons in a major city… it’s the beach & about as good as it gets in the area. I have stayed at most of the other hotels in Dewey & most of them I would not go back to unless absolutely necessary.
The staff, particularly the nice ladies that work the front desk each day, are great! I have left behind items now & then & they always contact me & let me know. They hold them for me until I return. :-) I can’t tell you how nice these women are & how hard they try to take care of your needs. All of the staff are great!
Every room faces the ocean, not a highway or townhouses. The pool is always clean! I have seen some poor reviews & I just don’t get them. I have traveled to many places, stayed in many types of resorts & hotels. I have stayed at the Adams in the middle of the summer, holidays, weekdays & weekends, off season too. I have never had a problem there.
I HIGHLY recommend this hotel! In Dewey, you can’t do better.

Just stayed here this past week for a night, and had an enjoyable experience! It is a very no-​frills place, but it is on the waterfront and provided a place to spend the night, which was exactly what I was looking for! The price was reasonable, and the front desk was very agreeable about letting us park early and then leaving our car for a few hours after checkout so we could fit a little more beachtime in. Overall great experience in Dewey Beach!

Don’t stay in the rooms that allow dogs unless you are okay with a moldy smell.
Staff is nice. Good Location.

Wow! This place has improved so much. The location was always great, but it has gotten a lovely face lift. The room was much nicer than before. I highly recommend it for dog lovers as Dewey allows you to have your dog on the beach in the morning and evenings in the summertime, and anytime during the other seasons. You’re just steps from the ocean here and the sweet Little Store. Thank you Adam’s Oceanfront for a wonderful visit!

I forgot to write up a review about this place from a few years back but I had a little bottle of hand lotion with the resort name on it and it reminded me that this place deserves a review. :)
I chose Adam’s bc it had mostly decent motel ratings compared to other places near Dewey Beach. What won me over to book the room here was that the place touted all rooms are Oceanfront. Indeed.
As soon as I drove up I was very disappointed. When booking the room over a month prior, they failed to mention anything to us out-​of-​towners about the fact that the beach directly in front of the place was under extreme long-​term Beach Reconstruction!
The entire beach for several miles including in front of the hotel was taped off as inaccessible construction work zone while tractors, trucks, equipment, and large industrial beach dredgers (or some sort of machines?) inhabited the sand directly across from the motel
The «balcony» view described on their site is actually a small railing in front of the doorway with a plastic chair– not at all private– but not that it mattered considering the beautiful tractor view. The room was your standard beach so-​so quality, nothing more than a little motel room.
The dredging and tractor construction continued all night long. The back up beeping of the construction tractors and metal pounding rhythmically invaded my brain and we got zero sleep. The next morning I complained about it and the ladies at the front desk were entirely unapologetic and surly. I certainly would have appreciated knowing before I drove 4 hours to get there about the state of the beach! I finally did get a refund for the next nights I had reserved the room but not without a battle and a lot of stress as well as the inconvenience of having to find a new place to stay last minute.
