    excellent access to parks and local dining options nearby

    The staff were amazing and super polite, making our check-in stress-free, while being just a short walk away from the beautiful Harbor Park and delicious local eateries like G's Pizzeria made our stay even more enjoyable despite the flies buzzing around us while we were eating breakfast.

    beautiful beach
    vibrant ambiance
    lively atmosphere
    uncomfortable bed

    I had a delightful stay enjoying the beautiful beach area and the vibrant ambiance at the on-site bar, which elevated my experience. While there were some minor inconveniences like a slightly uncomfortable bed, the lively atmosphere more than made up for it. I would definitely return!

    breathtaking view
    perfect pool

    The kids loved the pool area, it was perfect for them. The lakeview from our room was breathtaking.

    It was pricey tho, but for the family vibe, it was still reasonable.

    good food selection
    friendly staff
    limited breakfast hours

    The stay was decent, with comfortable rooms, but the bathrooms definitely need fans for better ventilation. The restaurant offered a good selection of food, although the breakfast hours were quite limiting. The lounge area was also a nice spot to hang out, especially with the DJ playing requests. The front staff were friendly, but the overall customer service could use some improvement.

    spacious suite
    nice marina
    close parks
    overwhelming kids
    pool noise

    I came for a short getaway with my family and had a great time enjoying the local attractions. The spacious suite we stayed in was perfect for us, and we loved being close to nearby parks and the beautiful marina. However, the pool area was overwhelming with kids, which made it tough for us adults to relax. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we appreciated the overall facilities and the quick access to the beach.

    beachfront location
    friendly service
    huge portions

    tawas bay beach resort & conference center is a lovely spot. we loved the beachfront location, making it easy to walk to barnacle bill's for meals. the view from the room was great, and the beach area was pleasant to relax by. the service at the restaurant was friendly, and the portions were huge!

    the room amenities felt a bit outdated.

    beachfront
    live music
    crowded pool

    I had an amazing time soaking up the sun by the beach and enjoying the energetic live music at the tiki bar. The heated swimming pool and beachfront were perfect for relaxation after a fun day. The only hiccup was the pool being a bit too crowded with kids, but it didn't take away from my experience at all. 😎

    beachfront views
    live music

    I absolutely loved lounging at the beachfront, soaking in the stunning views of the sparkling Tawas Bay! The tiki bar right by the water was my favorite spot to sip on tropical drinks as live music filled the air—it was pure bliss! Plus, the warm indoor pool offered a cozy retreat when I wanted a break from the sun.

    100% recommend 🌊💕

    beachfront access
    tiki bar

    I absolutely loved the beachfront access where I could chill on lounge chairs while soaking up the sun! 🌊 The tiki bar was an absolute highlight—sipping tropical drinks while enjoying live music was pure bliss. And can we talk about the fantastic food? The on-site restaurant had a new menu that left me craving more!

    would recommend 🥰✨

    beachfront location
    charming tiki bar
    outdated rooms

    Location can't be beaten—literally steps from the beach with chairs set up for relaxation. The tiki bar has a charming vibe and offers good beach views, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

    The rooms are pretty outdated, showcasing wear and tear from heavy use. I encountered a musty odor inside the building, not an inviting scent at all. With some rooms previously smelling like smoke, this definitely detracts from the experience. No spot to rinse off sand before heading inside makes the sandy feel inevitable. Additionally, the pool area tends to be crowded with kids screaming, so if you're looking for a quieter experience, plan accordingly, as there's no adult time set aside after hours. Plus, the lack of housekeeping during stays made it tricky to keep things tidy.
