Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa

Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa

8/10 Good
"We stayed in the ocean front room. The room and view were beautiful. We had dinner at GIGIs. The food was good. The menu selection Was limited for us because we do not eat fish. The negative with Gurneys is the rooms are not connected to the main building. They do provide a car service to pick you up. I feel this limits you. We would have gone down for a drink but it seemed too involved to get there. This resort is not for seniors ."
