It was mostly great! Basically my only complaint was that the shower in our room made this annoying squeaky noise if the water was running for more than a couple minutes. But that could’ve just been our room that did that. I love how close it was to the beach and how it was right in front of a park where a live band was playing! It was perfect for a nice 3 night visit!

No complaints... Everything was really good to excellent and would stay again for sure! ONLY minor issue was adjacent property is abandoned and an eyesore but actual place we stayed at was in very good shape, quiet, and very clean!!
Excellent location , in front of beach . Front desk wonderful people. Any issue with the room they fixed right away . Will come back again from Toronto
This was our first stay at the Armada. We go to Wildwood every year. The rooms were so clean and nice, the pool was very well kept and beautiful. We added a night so we did switch rooms but they make it very easy and do not rush you at all! It was my first time staying on a beach side property and it just seemed to make everything easier, especially with little kids. The staff was so polite and kind. 10 out of 10!
