This is my 6th time to Block Island... A little piece of paradise. However I am realy sad to say things are changing and not for the good. First- High speed ferry- lost my bikes, luggage and a bike basket... never found- so wonder how these things could disappear on a boat ride. very chaotic and no organization re: bikes... More

I think I must be going to Block Island for maybe 13 years now, I always love to party at Champlin's Dock Bar, great music off the boat!! love you guys....and all you do..not mad about band this year, had brillent bands over the years..This year what was so different was you could not get a drink...the bartenders were so...

I just got back from Labor day weekend at this "hotel" and the negative reviews are all correct. Positive reviews are obviously friends of the resort who have tried to obfuscate the truth by making excuses and defending the resort etc., but believe me, there's a difference between being charming and just being run down. Read the negative reviews and... More

Overall the experience is fun and happening on the docks as live bands play by the tiki bar and mudslides keep flowing amidst the holiday decorated boats tied up one behind the other. Certainly a unique experience on Labor Day weekend as each boat attempts to out do each other for top prize of the best decorated Christmas boat. Santa... More

Have been visiting Champin's Marina for several years now; albeit always on my boat, which provides my accomodations, so I cannot comment on the hotel. Dock hands are great, on top of it and working hard with a good attitude. The resort pool has great water quality. The pool surround can be a little rough on tender feet, but not... More

Stayed in a "suite" booked back in March. It cost $560 per night w/tax! It was the most disgusting, dirty, dingy, rip-off of my life. We've stayed in luxurious suites in Hawaii that cost less. Had to carry everything up steep stairs with no help. The staff were all extremely rude and obnoxious. The AC was broken and there was... More

I have a feeling most of the negative reviews are written by people who came to Block Island expecting something along the likes of the Hamptons or Nantucket... Block Island has never catered to that type of crowd and probably never will. The businesses on the island (and especially Champlin's) cater to working-class families from Rhode Island, Connecticut and Long... More

... We stayed at Champlains Marina at the of July and it was fantastic. I don't understand all the poor reviews. First of all the dockhands are excellent. The facilities are great. Everyone while we were there was having a great time...especially the kids who get to have some freedom and what fun to crab right off the docks! I... More

We stayed at Champlin's again this summer (our 3rd time there). Traditionally, we have docked our boat as a transient, and stayed in the on site lodging overlooking the pool. This year we elected to stay on our boat so my review of the lodging dates back to my expreience in 2010. On the whole, I recommend this marina as... More
