100% worth the stay!
It was amusing watching guests walk the catwalk and cross the road in their floor-lengh, hotel-provided bathrobes to get to the hotel's clubhouse to swim and soak.
This property will be difficult to "check-out" of because it has a cultish appeal that transcends the typical seaside vacation air b&b.
In short, I don't want to leave!

Brief stay but enjoyed pool, sauna, bar and restaurant very much. A nice treat. It was pouring rain so hard to get a feel for the full beauty of the property but ocean view and trees were great and room very large and, clean and very comfortable. Would definitely return for another stay.

I was surprised it was actually like a resort for the price it was. We got robes and nice toiletries offerings and the spa had a pool, hot tub, and sauna. Everything was really cozy and lodge style. The pullout I slept on was terrible but I don’t expect much from those.

Stayed at Ocean Crest Resort in Moclips and overall had a really good experience. The location is hard to beat—easy access to the beach and perfect if you’re here for razor clamming. The grounds are well maintained, and it feels like a comfortable, convenient base after a long digging session.
The biggest downside is the traffic noise. Cars passing by can be noticeable, especially at night when everything else is quiet. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper.
Other than that, the stay was enjoyable. Great spot for clamming trips and being close to the ocean. I’d come back, just would try to get a room farther from the road next time.
