Just last week we told you about The Surf Lodge from the nightlife group, MCM Hospitality, which is behind the popular nightclubs CAIN.
The 32-room hotel is located a half-mile from the beach on Fort Pond in Montauk and will have its opening day over Memorial Day weekend. And the hotel is much more than just a chill spot on the beach.
A restaurant from Top Chef contestant Sam Talbot is planned as is an outdoor bar and live performance area, boutique shop and even a hair salon.
Here's a glimpse at what the beach-themed rooms will look like. Also, a PR rep for the hotel lets us know the place will have free WiFi throughout, "including from the hammock on your private deck overlooking the water." We like the sound of that!

If you don't have a house already hooked up in the Hamptons with 10 other people, there are some hotel options on the island. But one you might want to avoid is the Oceanside Beach Resort in Montauk.
Flickr member Andrea F. Lee posted this pretty picture of the place but with a not-so-pretty review:
Erm, not totally recommended, although the location of the place is decent relative to the "center" of town. The remote didn't work, the furniture didn't match, the phone book was non-existent, and the walls were super-thin. Eh, whatever...
Another thing to note is that even though this place calls itself a "resort", its website is MontaukMotel.com. Then again, when was the last time a motel had room rates ranging from $225 for a first-floor queen to $450 for a Jacuzzi suite?
