Without doubt, the best thing about the Montauk Blue is the location on the beach. To hear the waves crashing, sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and having such easy access to the beach was just amazing.
The property itself is very dated, while the rooms are comfortable and clean, there were a few things that let it down. Firstly, no glasses to drink out of, no forks yet there was two knives, the shower was difficult to work and I felt I wasted a lot of water trying to get the water to heat up. Also the balcony was very dirty, lots of rust that had fallen off the air conditioning unit and no attempt to clean it up and lots of hairs on the balcony covering.
It’s not the standard I would expect for the very hefty price.
However, as soon as you see the view of the beach and the sea, all the negatives melt away. I guess that’s what drives the price up.
I do recommend the Montauk Blue for the wonderful location, just don’t expect 5 star luxury.
