help with hotel suggestions please

We are thinking of vacationing in Rehoboth Beach this summer. Can anyone tell me if this is a good family place to visit? How are the beaches? Is there fun things for kids to do?

Also, I was wondering if anyone had any nice hotel suggestions. Preferably Oceanfront with an indoor/outdoor pool. Not TOO expensive. Around $200 a night.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Karray - I grew up not far from Rehoboth and spent many summers there as a kid. For me, the allure today is that not much has changed on the boardwalk. I would also like to point out that it is an authentic boardwalk, which I love. I%26#39;m not sure how old your children are, but there is an arcade with kiddie rides, putt-putt, open area game rooms, lots of shopping, etc. Rehoboth also has one of the largest outlet areas. I seriously doubt that you will find a ocean front hotel room in a decent hotel for $200.00 pet night. There aren%26#39;t that many ocean front hotels for one thing. Most of the hotels are out on Route 1 which is the main thoroughfare into Rehoboth. You may have some luck with some of these. To me, the beach looks a lot better than it used to. For a while, there didn%26#39;t seem to be much beach because of erosion. They have really done some replenishment work though and I think the beach looks great. My husband and I actually decided (for the first time since I moved away) to actually book a condo and spend a weeks vacation in Rehoboth this June. We are taking our grown daughter and her husband. We are all really looking forward to it.

I did go back to look at the hotel list to see which ones I remember being on the beach or perhaps a block(?) away. The main ones are the Bellmoor, the Boardwalk Plaza, The Admiral, Atlantic Sands and the Henlopen. These places have websites and some of them are on expedia.com. I looked at a couple and pulled weekly rates (not weekend) for the 3rd week of June. A couple of them did have rates under $200.00. Please know that some of these places are considered 1 and 2 star hotels. I don%26#39;t know what they are like other than the Boardwalk Plaza, which is considered the 2nd best hotel (to the Bellmoor). I liked it well enough. I don%26#39;t think I liked it well enough to pay the rates that they want for high season.
