A solid room and stay with a great view!

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!

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!
