Clean, Nice Location
We enjoyed our stay here. The heated pool and hot tub were amazing for the end of Sept. We found everything to be clean. Our room was a bit dated but clean and served its purpose. All staff we encountered were very friendly, especially the front desk.

This property has great amenities, like ocean front room, nice pool and nice hot tub. Our favorite is the roof top deck. The front desk staff could be more courteous. The Largo room is nice, but could use some up-dating. I would add a dvd player, better lighting and new air conditioners. Over all it is a very nice place to stay.

20th anniversary
It was a very last minute stay. We arrived at 12:30am and left at 9:00am so we didn’t get to really enjoy the hotel but we loved it and want to go back for a few days. Clean, beautiful area, pool looked so pretty and location was perfect! In the center of everything it seemed. We did a spur of the moment 20th anniversary day trip and actually was visiting cape may, but there weren’t many rooms available and what was available was a bit pricey. We’d stay here again without a doubt

Enjoyed our stay
Honestly after reading some of the reviews here, I was a little apprehensive. How could one person give a great review and someone else a terrible one all within the same week? We were pleased with our stay and would recommend this hotel. Room (Jade type) was plenty roomy and clean. Some of the furnishings were a little worn but no big deal. The pool was warm, clean and there were plenty of chairs. The 5th floor sundeck with the hammocks was our favorite part of this hotel. So relaxing! Yes, the parking spots were a little tight, but I drive a Honda Civic and my daughter and I are both petite so it wasn't really an issue (and most hotels in Wildwood are like that). Location was perfect, right at the end of the boardwalk so we could walk most places. All in all an enjoyable stay.

Nice Stay
We had a nice, quick stay at Aqua Beach. It's our second stay in a different room set-up. The staff was great and performed a small repair right away. Nice music at the pool. Will most likely stay here every trip to Wildwood. Such a convenient location.

Overall this is a great hotel with a great location. On the huge plus side, this is a clean, safe and for a beachfront hotel, quiet but family friendly. 2 minor points, finding electrical outlets in the room can be a challenge and the rooms near the pool can get some traffic near them early in the AM. Otherwise the folks running the place are great, the hammock area on the roof is not to be missed and 1 block walk to the start of the boardwalk and it is right on the beach. We'll definitely be headed back.

Decent place to stay!
This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here. Both times were pleasurable. It's conveniently located, the room is a nice size. We stayed in the Laguna suite both times. It has a full sized fridge, it's a block from the boardwalk, across from the beach. We stayed for 2 weeks and let the maid service in about 3 times when the garbage/recycles were full. My only complaint is I don't think they did anything but wipe the counters, clean the mirrors, and make the bed. I don't think they swept/mopped or cleaned the toilet or the tub. Big bathrrom BTW! But overall it's not a bad place to stay to be close to b'walk/beach. Nicer than most seaside places. Hotel needs some fresh paint, but grounds were clean. It’s just old.

This was our first and last time in this hotel!!! First night that we arrived there,we found the toilet broken. Waited till the next day to get fixed. The door to the balcony will stay about half inch open on the top,even though it was locked. The hallway from the elevator to the exit always full with carts and garbage containers.Both the elevators glass filthy.The sofa bed seemed like 30 years old-very discomforting to sleep.Not even the ice was free.On our last day we had to get out the property right at 11am and remove the car right away (parked it across the street at the the Bel Air Hotel for free since it was a Sunday).We counted the parking spots at 11am there were about 20 spots and when we got back from the beach around 5pm we counted 15 free spots.Not even the kids were allowed in the pool after check out at 11am.Oh and there are no phones in the rooms.Will not recommend it.Payed $450 a night!!!

Easy access to the beach and hotel has a good sized pool with several grills for cooking. Hotel is near the entrance to the boardwalk and easy access to the tramcar for heading north to the main part of the boardwalk.

Over all the stay was nice, pool was freezing, parking was absolutely horrible spots are to tight and people not staying at hotel were parked in the lot leaving guests with nowhere to park it would make a lot of sense to number the spots for each room, the room it’s self was big and clean bathroom could use some towel hooks it’s big enough

We really enjoyed our long weekend at the hotel. The sun deck was so relaxing as was the pool. Our room was spacious. Having a large fridge and more mini kitchen was great. So close to the beach and boardwalk. Would stay there again!
