We stayed at the Caribbean in July, 2011. We had planned to only stay for an extended weekend but ended up stayed an entire week! While the rooms are smaller than we are used to, the furnishings (funky retro looking decor from the 50's) totally made up for the size. The bathroom is very small and completely not updated. It even had a medicine chest built into the wall just like in the 50's and 60's. However, I have never seen a bathroom that old so immaculate. It made the authentic feel of the place even more realistic in that you actually felt like you had walked back in time. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. They had a guy Mike at the grill every morning cooking made-to-order breakfast sandwiches and all the guests were relaxed and friendly. The fact that none of the rooms have private balconys or patios but chairs and tables outside of each room, made for a communal feel and lent itself to get to know your "neighbors" while you were drinking your morning coffee, soaking up the sun and enjoying the pool or relaxing in the evening after a long day at the beach. The walk to the beach is directly across the street, as is the start of Wildewood's boardwalk. It could not have been more convenient. They even offered a few free lunches off the grill and a big Saturday night dinner, complete with drinks, included in the price of your room.

There were only 2 things that prevented me from giving this motel a 5 star rating. The parking is very tight and upon check-in on a Saturday there was not a space to be had. They did give us a pass to park for free on the street, but felt that the spaces should be kept for guests only. Supposedly there is one parking space for every room so how it ended up that there were no available spaces upon check in could only mean that others were parked that that shouldn't have been and there was no monitoring of that. After that Saturday we did not encounter any additional issues with parking. The other point is that during the summer months, the pool still closes at 8, which is far too early, especially when the sun sets and the colorful lights come on, the pool area is so beautiful it seems ashame not to be able to use it.

Overall, if we ever go back to Wildewood we would never consider staying anywhere else.

Here's the deal: Great property and amenities, owners who care and really treat the guests like family and the staff is attentive and efficient! Ohh, and the price is fair and the location is terrific and the pool is heated and the rooms are spotless....well you get the point. The Caribbean is a no brainer! Simply the value in the Wildwoods!

We stayed 3 nights at the Caribbean and really liked the experience. If you're looking for luxury you're at the wrong place. But, if you want something fun, with family atmosphere and good value for your money, then you found the right place. We loved the 50's theme and the 50's music playing around the pool and the option of also listening to it on the radio in our room. On Sunday they had "Welcome night" and we were treated to free wings, watermelon and even a glass of wine by the owners! They also serve free coffee every morning. We were lucky to have one of the only two rooms (112) with a beautifully renovated bathroom. We checked in early and they let us park the car and enjoy the beach while we waited for our room to be ready. It rained on one night and we appreciated the option of using the stylish cabana lounge on top of the "Jetson ramp" to eat our diner while staying dry. Close to the beach and the boardwalk, about 5 minutes. on foot.

This hotel has a really cool doo wop theme! It looks really cool at night! check in was fast and easy! rooms are really nice here too! steps from the beach and the boardwalk! would recommend to anyone willing to stay in wildwood! they have a little cabana room where you can sit in there and relax which was really cool! theres no restaraunt here but that was fine since there a billion places to choose where you can eat in wildwood! theres a really good italian restaraunt in walking distance away from the motel! its called Little Italy! Wifi was slow and spotty here, think they should improve that, besides that it was a great motel!
