ROYAL ATLANTIC BEACH RESORT, Montauk

The Royal Atlantic occupies a prime stretch of private beach, with rooms either on the sand or across the street. The town center is within a few blocks, giving easy access to numerous restaurants, cafes, and gift shops. Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum is a 10-minute drive away, and Montauk Downs Golf Course is 4 km from the property. The beachfront setting means no street crossing is needed for oceanfront rooms, while rooms across the street require a short walk. Free on-site parking is available, but spaces can fill in peak season.

Accommodation options include Queen Rooms, Deluxe Queen Rooms, One-Bedroom Suites, and Townhouses. All rooms contain a kitchenette with a stovetop, microwave, under-counter fridge, and coffee maker. Oceanfront rooms have balconies directly facing the sea; ocean-view rooms provide a side-angle view. Deluxe Queen rooms are slightly larger than standard Queen rooms. First-floor oceanfront rooms offer direct beach access. Some rooms have been updated with modern paint and bedding, but many are described as outdated, with worn furniture and bathrooms. Noise can be an issue near the on-site club (rooms 90-98) and from thin walls. Travelers prioritizing location over decor will find the rooms adequate, while those seeking modern finishes may be disappointed.

The Royal Atlantic Restaurant & Beach Bar serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a family-friendly setting. From Memorial Day through Columbus Day weekend, Deluxe rooms, Queen rooms, and One-Bedroom Suites receive a free full breakfast. The breakfast is a buffet-style meal with hot options and coffee. Outside this period, breakfast may not be available or may incur a charge. The poolside bar and snack bar operate weather-permitting through early fall. A picnic and barbecue area is available on site. Numerous restaurants are within a short walk downtown, including Montauk Bake Shoppe and Tacombi, for those wanting variety.

The property has two heated outdoor pools open seasonally (Memorial Day to Columbus Day). The main pool is adjacent to the beach, with loungers and cabanas. A poolside bar is open through Labor Day. The private beach stretches 365.8 m and is accessible directly from the property. Guests can use beach loungers or bring their own chairs. The game room contains arcade games and table tennis. Off-site activities such as golf (within 3 km), hiking, fishing, diving, horseback riding, and tennis are available for an additional charge. No spa or wellness center is on site.
