The Cavalier Oceanfront

Two Superb Staff Members Elegant hotel; friendly & thoughtful staff. Although our room was small (with a view of air conditioning units and parking), the bathroom was nice with a great shower. That said, the room was not the upgrade that we usually experience at Marriott Autograph & luxury properties in hotels around the world. We had a few glitches with the safe & tv, but staff took care of those problems. Standout staff members who deserve recognition from senior management are: Rosanna Colon & Christine Korbel, both of whom were exceptional — considerate & accommodating. Because of them, we would stay at the Cavalier again in the future.

THIS IS WHAT EXCELLENCE IS ABOUT! Words cannot describe this place and its staff well enough. The Historic Cavalier Hotel & Beach Club in beautiful Virginia Beach is truly a "hidden gem!" Driving up to The Cavalier earned a lengthened "WOW" from us! The Valet parking assistant was very prompt and attentive as soon as we pulled up the front in our car. We were led down the beautiful lobby to the Registration Desk where we met Jessita, the Concierge. Her warm and beautiful smile, her witty attitude and professionalism made us feel welcomed immediately! After checking in, we proceeded to our room, which was located on the 7th floor. The hallway leading to our room boasted a collection of pictures of 10 former Presidents who have stayed at The Historic Cavalier in prior years. These pictures were perfectly displayed on the walls and told a little story about each former President; nice touch! Upon entering our suite, we noticed how clean, neat and well decorated it was. It gave a sense of elegance and comfort at the same time. A Nespresso machine awaited; we felt at home instantly! For our first night's dinner we chose The Hunt Room. Earl was our server. He was personable, prompt and attentive. I decided to try their "Smokey Old Fashioned." So glad I did. Highly recommend it! I selected a dinner of cornish game hen and my husband selected the fried shrimp with fries. We could not stop raving about our meals! Then the DJ arrived...let the dancing commence... what a fun night! Returned to our room to find a "happy anniversary" treat, compliments of the staff at The Cavalier. Lovely! Thank you Jessita, we're sure you had something to do with this. :) We enjoyed a delicious brunch at Becca the next day, and returned to Becca later for dinner with friends. It was an amazing dinner! We all LOVED our entrees of rack of lamb and crab cakes, and the service was perfect! The next day we went to the Beach Club where we noticed the staff was -without exception, VERY attentive and efficient as well. The property is impeccably clean and offers plenty of complimentary provisions for their guests. We tried eating at The Deck but the wait was too long so we walked over to Tulu Seaside Bar & Grill; another hit! A vast selection of delicious healthy meals! Myrda was our server. She was fast as lightening, efficient, funny and very knowledgeable regarding the menu options/ingredients. Thank you, Myrda We loved the Hunt Room so much that we decided to return to it for our next dinner. This time we had Maddi as our server and she was superb! Her recommendations on meals were "spot on" perfect! I chose the venison dinner and, OMG, the BEST I've ever had! The Hunt Room's chef is a true artist! My husband chose the fried shrimp again; he just had to have it one more time! The following day was back to The Cavalier Beach Club pool, and again, the staff was friendly and very attentive. Lovely place! That night we had a reservation at Orion's Roof to celebrate our anniversary. Sean was our server, and what a treat it was to have him! He brought complimentary champagne to us "to celebrate our special day," and our meals were outstanding! I decided to try their sushi (Sean helped me select a sushi dish that was prepared gluten free due to my gluten intolerance), and my husband selected the seared scallops. Let the GREAT meals continue to roll! The chef at Orion's Roof joins the "awesome" list on our book. Sean definitely made our evening a memorable one; what a bubbly personality! He even introduced us to the Assistant General Manager (Sean brought him over to our table), and what a nice man Noel is. Personable, professional and fun! During our 4-day stay, we never left the property. Wherever you walk around is beautiful. Inside and outside The Cavalier, you will see nothing but beauty! Among all the wonderful staff members we met, I/we also want to acknowledge Jorge at the front entrance, the Valet parking staff, the Valet staff who helped with our luggage, Bryan -I believe he's one of the concierge associates, once again, Jessita, the senior hostess at Becca whose name escapes me now, our housekeeper(s), and every member we encountered during our stay at The Historic Cavalier. Without exception, every single staff member was truly attentive, polite, refined, helpful, willing, professional, and personable. There was not one flaw at all during our stay. Thank you everyone! We are already planning our return. M & W Balta.

Celebrating our 40th annniversary!! Due to It just gets better every time we go!!! The service is among the many reasons we keep coming back!!! The staff goes above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met and then go the extra mile to add that extra something!!!! Special thanks to Jessita for making this stay extra special!!!

Cavalier Hotel Stay and Breakfast Experience. Visited for a quick trip to Virginia Beach. This is very unique hotel with a lot of history and charm. It's surprisingly kids firendly as well. Our kids loved the access to the beach club pool. We had a breakfast in the restaurant and it was amazing and surprisingly affordable as well.

Disappointed Staff needs to be replaced with people that would like to help guests. Menu is the restaurants are not customer friendly!!! Limited menu with very little options for guess to choose from. Pricey and not worth eating. Go somewhere else!!!!!
