Canoe Place Inn & Cottages
Cottages, a real spa and a beach close by
About this hotel
Canoe Place Inn & Cottages breaks from the standard hotel format with a genuine spa and wellness centre alongside its fitness centre, a rarer pairing on this stretch of the East End, and a restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine rather than a standard diner menu. Its cottage-style family rooms include air-conditioning, private bathrooms, TVs and bathrobes, and the lush garden and terrace give guests somewhere to sit outside beyond the seasonal pool. Meschutt Beach sits just 1.7 kilometres away for a morning swim before the roughly 27-kilometre drive out to Splish Splash, and Montauk Point Lighthouse remains within reach at 44 kilometres for a further day trip east along the coast.

Our take
The spa and wellness centre make this a genuine pick for a group wanting downtime as much as a water park day, and the nearby beach adds a second swim option without the drive to Splish Splash. It suits a trip where the park is one day among several rather than the sole reason for visiting the East End.
- ✓Book spa treatments ahead of arrival, since the wellness centre serves both hotel guests and local visitors.
- ✓Use the 1.7-kilometre proximity to Meschutt Beach for a morning swim before an afternoon at Splish Splash.
- ✓Ask about cottage layouts specifically if your group wants separate sleeping spaces rather than one open room.

Why guests love itA group staying in the cottages finds the layout works better for a multigenerational trip than a standard hotel floor, with the spa centre giving the adults a reason to stay an extra night beyond the single Splish Splash visit. Meschutt Beach, a short walk away, becomes the default morning activity before the roughly 27-kilometre drive to the park, and the Mediterranean restaurant covers dinner without needing to drive elsewhere in the evening.
