Party night with the kids was awesome at the Hampton

Thank you, Hampton Team, for the wonderful hospitality you extended to me. I truly appreciate you celebrating my birthday 🎂 today. This trip has been absolutely amazing. I'm so glad I chose you all for my special day. Thank you, thank you! I'll definitely be coming back soon.

🌊☀️ Low-Key 1-Day Escape to Fort Monroe, Virginia 🏖️✨ Looking for an easy and affordable day trip? Fort Monroe is the perfect coastal getaway with history, scenic views, and a relaxing beach club—all in one place! 🚗💙 📍 Stops on Our Trip: 🛡️ Battery DeRussy 📍 Fort Monroe, Hampton, VA 23651 💣 Lincoln Gun 📍 Fort Monroe, Hampton, VA 23651 🏰 Flagstaff Bastion 📍 Fort Monroe, Hampton, VA 23651 🏖️ Paradise Ocean Club 📍 490 Fenwick Rd, Fort Monroe, VA 23651 We wrapped up our day at Paradise Ocean Club, and it was such a relaxing experience! 🌊☀️ You can choose between swimming at the private beach or cooling off in the large Olympic-size pool. 🏊♂️🌴 All the kids absolutely loved the deep end and had so much fun diving and playing in the pool. 💦 It wasn't overly crowded the day we visited, which made it even more enjoyable. A big shoutout to pool facilitator, Zack, who was friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome. 👏😊 🍔🍹 There's a beachside bar and food area if you get hungry. The food is a little pricey, so we ate pizza before arriving to keep the trip budget-friendly. 💵🍕 That worked out perfectly, and we only grabbed drinks while enjoying the beach atmosphere. ⚠️ One thing to know if you're visiting on a Sunday: after 3:00 PM, the pool becomes adults only. We completely understand the policy, but the way it was communicated could have been friendlier. While we were gathering our belongings, one of the lifeguards told us rather abruptly that we needed to leave immediately. Thankfully, that was the only negative part of an otherwise wonderful visit. ❤️ Overall, we had a fantastic low-key family day exploring the historic fort, enjoying beautiful waterfront views, and relaxing by the beach and pool without spending a fortune. If you're looking for a simple summer escape in Virginia, Fort Monroe is definitely worth the trip! ⭐ Budget Tip: Eat before you arrive, bring towels, sunscreen, and water, then spend the rest of the day soaking up the sun! 🌞🕶️ #TripMoments #Tripcom #FortMonroe #ParadiseOceanClub #VirginiaTravel #BeachDay #FamilyTravel #BudgetTravel #DayTrip #HiddenGem #SummerVibes 🌊🏖️✨

Hampton Court Palace is a fascinating place to explore, yet it seems not many people talk about it. While the tickets can be quite pricey if it's not an open day, the experience is well worth the cost. The palace offers a vivid display of life as it was centuries ago, providing visitors with an immersive historical experience. #HamptonCourt #HistoricalTravel #UKTravel

Summer is really suitable for sunbathing in Hampton Court Gardens🌞

they came and replaced the fridge The maintenance was amazing and friendly

After being compensated after my first night I would like to say my second night was not as bad as the first actually it ended up being quite nice and I enjoyed lots of laughter and engaged in fun activities with my family I definitely misjudged this hotel and the pool is amazing by the way loved it

not clean price to high for the type of services offered especially on weekends I had a good in my room from the fridge and no one was willing to help me fix the issue which caused damage to my clothes roach interested sheets weren't cleaned highly disappointed

Just visited Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia, and it was a trip through history! This impressive 19th-century fort, located on the Chesapeake Bay, offers stunning views and a wealth of historical insights. The Casemate Museum is a must-see, detailing the fort's significant role in the Civil War. Winter's quiet beauty added a special touch to the experience, making it an ideal time for a peaceful, reflective visit. Highly recommend it for history buffs and anyone looking to explore Virginia's rich past! #FortMonroe #HamptonVA #HistoricFort #WinterTravel #ExploreVA #HistoryBuff #WinterWonder #ChesapeakeBay #TravelBackInTime #HistoricSites #historicallandmarks #familytrip #educationaltrip #mytravelhacks #usa #Virginia #localguides #wintergetaway
