Ballard's Beach Resort

Great location with a private beach.

We had a terrific stay. Staff was wonderful & attentive. Had the pleasure of watching Timmy Maia Band 2 days in a row. So good! Fantastic beach & service.

Great bathroom. Modern rooms are rare on VI, this one is really nice. Limited parking, but street parking available.

Really nice hotel with very friendly staff. The room was great and being right at the marina and having the beach and restaurants on site make this property perfect for a family weekend trip.

It was a great stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location couldn't have been more ideal. And the beach was amazing.

The staff is friendly aand helpful. The rooms were very nice. Parking is limited.

Great place to stay everything you need in one location

The cabanas are a must. Staff always ready to make us welcome

Enjoyed our stay. Staying in the hotel you should be given a discount on beach chairs.

While our room was clean. The bathroom has definitely seen better days, we were missing a shower door, the “shower caddy” was old and gross. The shower head awful! As for the restaurant, food is so overpriced for bad quality frozen food. $34 for chicken tenders and a handful of French fries. Not to mention ALL the single use plastic they use for everything. They never answer the phone, and there is hardly anyone at reception. Bar and kitchen closed by 9 pm When we return, it won’t be at Ballards not for $600 per night That’s for sure!

Great experience with friendly staff and convenient amenities. Great location close to ferry and right on a beautiful beach area with plenty of space. Room was clean and maintained nicely. Will return and highly recommend.

The staff was extemely friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bright, Would definitely come back

AMAZING AND FRIENDLY SAFF. very highly satisfied for our two night stay. Beautiful beach with beautiful sun rise. Quiet. Clean. Will definitely be coming back!!! Honestly hands down the best place I’ve stayed

Very friendly, hospitable and attentive staff. The hotel is somewhat outdated and as it's a beach hotel, may be challenging to keep completely clean (sand). However, details could be better addressed. That said, the bed was very comfortable (though the cot provided for our third person was not really acceptable - it was truly a cot, not a rollaway bed). The staff was very nice, can't emphasize that enough.

Our room was at least clean and ok- however for the price we expected a clean modern bathroom , not one from the 1970’s with a missing shower door and a shower head that barely worked alone with some old nasty pool organizer in the corner . Not to mention the outrageous prices for horrible frozen food and terrible drinks. They are not very “green” plastic is used for everything- sad for such a small island all the single use plastic- wasteful. Our next visit we will definitely make a better choice especially for the $$

Very clean room and staff did great

The property definitely is the place to be for the beach and drinks. breakfast was delicious but lunch/dinner not worth it. room was dirty/poorly maintained for the price.

Right on the beach, clean large rooms and great lobster rolls for lunch

Although this location was close to the ferry and convenient, it was overall not that great. They include a gratuity on everything so staff are underwhelming. Guess when you know you’re getting a tip it changes your level of service. The room was large and clean but there wasn’t a mini refrigerator or an ice machine on the floor. Be mindful of the extra charges at the end. It added almost $100 more to the price of the room. This stay was not worth the price in my opinion.

We had a great stay at Ballards! The view of the harbor was just stunning. We were there right before Memorial Day, so the area was still quiet. I am not sure how much that changes during the summer time; probably a lot.

The staff is amazing! Everyone was so nice and helpful! The food there was great! Also had a nice sundown special every night on certain food. Will definitely recommend and will be back some day

Not for families and price deceptive. Booked a nonrefundable room online for 4 people - myself, my husband, and our two young children. When we checked in they brought us to our room which could only accommodate 2 people as there was only one bed. After showing them our receipt that we had booked for 4 people they said they could only accommodate our children if we paid them an additional $60. I explained that we booked a room for 4 people and that had we known the price we reserved was not for 4 people we could have better compared pricing with alternatives that didn't have surprise charges. The response from the CFO, Yolanda, was that she will update the web page to be more informative. And the receptionist's response was that we shouldn't have used Expedia to book. It seems obvious from a customer service perspective that they should have honored the reserved price rather than tell us they could not accommodate our children unless we paid them an additional $60. Wheeling in 2 cots didn't cost them a thing and all of the confusion and frustration and time spent dealing with this issue put a damper on the experience we were hoping for on our Block Island getaway.

Ok. Staff don't speak English. Front desk staff, restaurant, bars, and beach staff confused and uniformed after working there for 2 months.

The girl at front desk checked us in and out was very accommodating excellent

I was very disappointed that our TV didn’t work, and when we asked a staff member to help us, they said they couldn’t do anything about it.

Terrible customer service

Great experience with friendly staff and convenient amenities. Great location close to ferry and right on a beautiful beach area with plenty of space. Room was clean and maintained nicely. Will return and highly recommend.

Great location with a private beach.

Place is just awesome! Right next to the ferry. Place is expensive, but so is all of Block Island. Ballards never disappoints!!!

Really nice hotel with very friendly staff. The room was great and being right at the marina and having the beach and restaurants on site make this property perfect for a family weekend trip.

Right on the beach, convenient to ferry and shopping.

It was a great stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location couldn't have been more ideal. And the beach was amazing.

Good location

Love Ballards - so convenient

Perfect location - enjoyed everything about it!

It was ok. Mediocre food and drinks

The staff is amazing! Everyone was so nice and helpful! The food there was great! Also had a nice sundown special every night on certain food. Will definitely recommend and will be back some day

We enjoyed lunch on premises. The staff was pleasant and very accomodating!

Staff was amazing and we checked in earlier Jenny from D.R, above and beyond to welcome us!! Staff at the Resturant was so great Tee and the other server was top notch the food was so good!! You must have a Lobster Roll!! Only thing I would recommend is that guests have conditioner available however I will bring some next time!!! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for the memorable stay
