Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Great location in town, a 3-minute bike ride to the beach
- Lovely outdoor pool with food and drink service
- Beautiful gardens with hammocks and ample lounge seating
- Organic restaurant and bar with live music or DJ on weekends
- Rooms include flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and luxurious linens
- Free Wi-Fi and parking
- Bike cruisers available for rent
- Pet-friendly for a fee
Cons
- Breakfast is not included
- Noisy on weekend evenings
- No phones or mini-fridges in rooms
Bottom Line
This American Tudor-style hotel in Montauk is a summer hot spot that maintains an essence of “cool” without pretension. The 61 rooms and suites have a surf-chic vibe and appeal to the Manhattan set with amenities such as high-quality linens and Aveda products. Though not directly on the beach, expansive grounds include lawn games, daybeds, hammocks and an organic restaurant and bar. The outdoor pool -- with live music on weekends -- is popular, and the party scene has been known to carry on until the wee hours of the morning.

Scene
A surfer vibe with contemporary art and live music on weekends
Backyard Restaurant at the Sole East
This converted Tudor-style property is classic on the outside and modern on the inside. The unique, laid-back vibe has just enough sophistication to make some city slickers dream of quitting their jobs and joining the Montauk surf culture. The rear of the lobby leads to a canopied walkway, which turns into the organic restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Expansive grounds include a decent-size pool and lounge areas -- some more private than others. The joint cranks out the fun (and noise) on summer weekends, and the bartender (crowd depending) will continue serving drinks well into the early morning.
Location
On a quiet road off Montauk Highway within short driving distance to beaches and village
A 120-mile drive from New York City, the Sole East Resort is located on the outskirts of Montauk but within walking distance to the village and beaches. The Montauk area is spread out, and there are many attractions within a 10-mile radius, so a car is recommended. Otherwise, there are taxi services in town, and the hotel provides rental bike cruisers for shorter trips.
- 75-minute drive to Islip Airport
- 3-minute drive or 15-minute walk to Montauk’s shops and restaurants
- 15-minute walk to Montauk beaches
- 5-minute drive to Montauk Harbor
- 15-minute drive to Montauk Point
- 20-minute drive to Easthampton
- 40-minute drive to Southampton
