Typical Wildwood hotel. Rooms are a little run down but are clean and spacious. Our room had a constant mildew smell and felt damp despite the air conditioning running. The mattresses on both queen beds sagged towards the headboards. Our feet seemed to be above the level of our heads when we layed down. The outside lights are as bright as day! The rooms have blinds that barely block the light at night. Maybe investing in some soft incandescent lights or room darkening curtains could alleviate that issue. We liked the mini kitchen with a two burner stove, microwave, sink and small fridge. The bathroom was large and looked recently updated. We had multiple friends staying in various rooms of the hotel the weekend we stayed, so we got to see the state of other rooms. Some seemed to have been more recently updated. I assume that they may get around to doing all the rooms eventually.
My family took advantage of the large heated pool every day of our stay, even though it was cool in late September. The roof top deck had plenty of lounge chair seating, a few hammock seats, and full hammocks. We all enjoyed spending time up there, and even had an amazing view of the fireworks.
The desk staff, maintenance, and cleaning crew were all courteous and attentive to ours and the guests needs.
The hotel is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and bike rentals. Even though the hotel is "beach front," it's still a bit of a walk to the ocean. The start of the boardwalk is a few short blocks away.
We look forward to booking our stay with them next year for the car show.
We just came back from a 2 night stay at this hotel. It was our first time staying here. Overall, it was a nice place. Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower was decent. It was almost right next to the boardwalk and the pool and hot tub were wonderful. We had an awesome view of the ocean. The other guests that stayed here were very nice and respectful. As others have stated, the parking is very tight. Luckily....we have a subcompact car so we were able to squeeze into any space here. If you have a normal size car, parking might be a little more challenging. I would stay here again.
We stayed at the condos across the Street Beach Crest room 4004. Tried to see a manager after check out but there was a long line so I asked for the manager's name.. Once I got home I promptly wrote an email with all my concerns and no response. I called the head desk and asked for the manager whose name was Yari. She was very cavalier about the whole situation. Telling me they have nothing to do with the condos we only clean them etc. -- Yet i paid Aqua Beach.||I am very disappointed in this summer’s stay Upon arrival, we noticed that there was no shower curtain in the bathroom. After calling the office, housekeeping brought one up and handed it to my daughter-in-law, who had to hang it. || We found a microwave with chipped paint and rust inside, a gross refrigerator, rusty washer and dryer, and two chairs in the TV area with a strong odor. Additionally, the coffee pot was not cleaned, the hallway outside our room had stained and mildewed carpeting, a hole in the wall, and a window that is falling apart. The condition in the parking garage is also concerning as the outside ceiling tiles are hanging.||Before I go any further, I want to stress we are not new to the condo or hotel. Over the years we have stayed many times at each. |Considering the amount we paid, $900 p/n I expected better accommodations. I asked to be compensated and was told again they have nothing to do with the condos they only clean them. Yari said she forwarded my email to the owner. I asked when I could expect a response and her reply was I don't know. | Furthermore, my husband left his $70 brand new flip-flops behind, and I was told that housekeeping would hold them. I asked for them to be mailed back to my home address I was told there would be a charge - fine I wanted tracking on them bc I did not feel them to be trustworthy after the initial conversation. I have yet to get them and it is over 2-3 weeks. I called today and was transferred to the front desk, then hung up on, called back was put on hold for 5 MINUTES, called back again and was told to call back tomorrow when Yari was back.||To date the owner of the condo has not reached out, the hotel has taken no responsibility nor have returned my flip flops. I asked Yari for the name of the person above her and was told there was no one above her. We are not new to Aqua Beach or the condos and this has really hit a low point. Very disappointed. NEVER AGAIN!
Being at Aqua beach is a wonderful experience in a relaxed and calm atmosphere.
The room was great, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food at the pool bar is absolutely great.
The overall atmosphere is so relaxed that it is well worth traveling from the other end of Europe.
We are coming back next year for sure!
Beautiful place! My only tiffs are Wifi is almost non existing and the lights by the window keeping me and the wife awake. A/C could be cooler but other than that it is a beautiful area and its very clean. Maintenance was very friendly in helping us with our card reader. Check in was fast and painless, even an hour before our time. Off months really are the best on these islands. Less crowds less noise and confusion and at our ages that is a positive thing. Thank You for making our vacation something to remember! Godbless.
like many other reviews, this place is a disgrace. i don’t know what happened to this “hotel”. stayed here 2 years in a row with no issues. returned this week and it will ABSOLUTELY BE THE LAST!!! rooms disgusting, and we switched rooms TWICE. every room stunk of marijuana!!! couldn’t find a towel without stains. beds not clean either. |rude people at the desk who really don’t seem to care about making your stay pleasant. hot tub and pool not clean!!! do yourself a huge favor and AVOID this place at all costs, including feeling like we need a tetanus shot. like i said, wayyyyyy downhill from years ago. |i believe they think that because their location is right at the boardwalk entrance that they can not care about the upkeep of their property or caring for their guests. GUESS AGAIN. if i could give ZERO STARS I WOULD. just arrived home and after this review to save others, a much needed shower is next to wash off this place. shame…..
Our family has been staying at the Aqua Beach Resort for 45+ years. Missed a few years here and there but are happy to return. We are low maintenance and also have family members who like to sleep in. That said, the cleaning crew are always accommodating with our needs, supplying us with whatever we need without requiring daily cleaning services. The one thing that is a big of an issue is parking. Spaces are minimal in size and if someone parks over the line the next space is wasted.
Aqua Beach has everything you need: Heated pool, a huge jacuzzi, clean rooms, it is sooooo close to everything, great staff and just wait til you see a sunset from the rooftop deck! A block from the Boardwalk. Family friendly too. Need I say more? We will definitely be back.
