Atlantic Inn

Five members of our family recently enjoyed a Monday thru Friday week staying in the Veranda Suite at the Atlantic. The suite had a small well equipped kitchen, which we did use for one or two simple meals. There is a living/dining room combo, quite comfortable and spacious. There are two bedrooms with cozy bedding and views from every window. Everyone slept well every night, some of us even slept in until roused by coffee brought from the always ready coffee bar in the hotel proper. There is an additional sofa bed though we didn't utilize it. The large bathroom is well stocked with essential bath products, soaps, shampoos and a large pile of fluffy towels. The shower has two shower heads and easily fits two people, while you're getting wet from the back and front simultaneously. The Veranda Suite is a bit behind the main hotel, quiet and serene. We all enjoyed a wonderful gourmet dinner on the porch with exceptional wine and my granddaughter made sure to get a cookie very day from the lobby. The family spent quite a bit of time on the suite's wide porch with rockers, couches, tables and chairs, it'd be a great place to have a cocktail party, easily has room for twenty or so. And the view is postcard worthy. The hotel itself is a five or six minute walk from the village stores, shops and restaurants and more importantly, the ferry. There's a farm just a bit down the hill that my granddaughter insisted we visit every day to feed the camels, llamas, goats and kangaroos. Lots of hiking around the island that some of the family took advantage of. It was our first experience on Block Island and everyone wants to return for the mopeds, the banana boat ride and Crescent Beach.

Excellent waitstaff that goes above and beyond and the best lobster pasta on Earth with incredible sunset views and and water views from high on the hill. Cannot wait to return. Not a fan of their wedge salad. Keep it simple. Lots of seating choices and a lovely property.

We stayed at The Atlantic for the weekend after 4th of July. It was a wonderful weekend and I’d recommend this hotel for sure. It is a little walk uphill from the ferry but well worth it to be on the top of the hill with such beautiful views. The staff were very welcoming when we arrived and there was some nice wine and sweets when we checked in. Thankfully our room was ready when we arrived and it was very nice. A bit cozy with a very comfortable queen bed and nice views of the grounds. While the room is very quaint and feels like you have stepped back into history my husband was very happy that the room had air conditioning that we controlled. The bath was on the small side but just enough for the two of us. They also had very nice amenities. We had drinks on the front lawn in the evening and dinner at the restaurant which was wonderful. We were able to sit outside which was very nice. Our appetizers and our entrees were delicious and the service was spot on. We were very pleased with our dinner. The Atlantic also offered a continental breakfast in the morning (for a small fee) which we enjoyed and it was just enough. They also offered a full brunch, which we missed this trip. The grounds are beautiful and so peaceful overlooking a farm below which is so cute with several animals you can see. It is also so close to many other places making it a great place to stay.

review: “I recently visited the Atlantic Inn on Block Island and it was an incredibly disappointing experience. Despite reserving an outside table, we arrived to find the area fully exposed to the burning sun with no shade whatsoever which after a day in the sun at the beach is not comfortable. It was uncomfortable and unpleasant, making it impossible to enjoy a meal so we left as the host with a smug attitude responded he would eat in the sun. The lack of adequate outdoor accommodations shows a significant oversight in customer care and comfort. Given the high expectations set by their reputation, this experience was a major letdown. I would not recommend dining here.” We ended up at Elis restaurant who was very happy to seat us and we had a great dinner. Better menu too. Go to Elis.

Just spent the most wonderful weekend with my sister at The Atlantic Inn. The staff was amazing, especially Sara K, the restaurant hostess. She checked on us throughout our stay and gave us great ideas on things to do. The view was second to none and dinner on the patio absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the halibut. Our room was quaint and squeaky clean. Hats off to the new owners for preserving this inn. We have decided to make this a new annual tradition!

The Atlantic is an old historic inn that was completely updated two years ago. The whole facility is immaculate. The staff was extremely attentive even though we were there pre-season. We will definitely stay at The Sylsntic if we ever return to Block Island!

We had an amazing experience at the Atlantic Inn. Very cute clean rooms and very nice staff. It is a perfect location to walk down town and even the beach. I highly recommend the Atlantic Inn. I will definitely be back in the future!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The day we arrived their restraunt wasn’t open yet, so they gave us recommendations for another restaurant.

Loved the view. Dinner on the porch was excellent!
