Everything about our stay was excellent! The staff was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The views from the bar were incredible and the food was just as good. When I think of Rhode Island summer stays, Ocean Cliff is at the very top of that list. We can’t wait to come back!

Spent 1 night for a quick getaway. Fantastic spot and unbelievable view. The mansion hotel is very cool, like you've gone back in time. Dinner and drinks at the restaurant was perfect. Sitting on the Adirondack chairs with a drink overlooking the ocean view was serene.

It is a beautiful piece of property. Staff were wonderful. A special shoutout to Stephen and Heidi. We stayed early in the week on days that the restaurant wasn’t open. We have been there other times and have eaten in the Safari room and it has been great.
