  • Located on Coastal Highway with quick access to Dewey Beach (0.3 km) and nearby Rehoboth Beach
  • Close to local nightlife, restaurants and beach activities in Dewey/Rehoboth
  • Preferred airport noted as Salisbury (SBY) and multiple regional airports within driving distance

  • Vinyl by Madison serves breakfast, lunch and a Sunset Menu for dinner (hours and season vary)
  • Madison Rose poolside food truck delivers pool/beach orders in season; Twist & Spoon is the dessert/soft-serve spot

Madison Resort works well if you want beachside casual dining and don’t need on-site alcohol service from the hotel.

Hyatt Place Dewey Beach offers a snack bar/deli, a bar/lounge and complimentary breakfast for registered guests.

  • Complimentary breakfast is included for guests
