I didn't catch his name but he was so knowledgeable about pairings since we were undecided. The hotel itself is so pretty. Grey and pink accents everywhere. It's a girly-girls dream hotel.

Spent the last weekend at the Wave Resort for a large family event. I thought that the location was…read moregreat with a beautiful view of the beach from the restaurant/lounge areas and rooms. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try the amenities since our itinerary was busy and it was off season. But the rooms were beautiful, contemporary and each room had its own balcony. The resort provided bathrobes and slippers, along with a snack and coffee station, safe, hangers, large screen tv, etc. We had breakfast in the lounge area since the Maya restaurant was closed for the season. The first morning I had the avocado toast with a poached egg and it was delicious. The lounge areas is really chic and comfortable to grab a bite or drink and take in the beach scenery and people watch on the boardwalk. The second morning in the Maya section (reserved for our party), my cousins arranged a large brunch buffet, which I thought was very good (especially the seasoned eggs and bacon) with a wide assortment of dishes, pastries, beverages. Service was impeccable from check in to dining to catering. A great place to stay.

We stayed at this Property for our 50th Anniversary Weekend, at our first beach in New Jersey since…read morerelocating from Virginia. Think of it as a boutique property. Really convenient to everything at Long Branch Beach. First a shout out to Guest Experiences Manager Kate Fowler who took care of helping us with reservations to multiple events and stayed in touch throughout. She was awesome. Always friendly, courteous and helpful. Next Front Desk Nicole who went way beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay, with directions, advice and was a huge reason for a great stay. She is a keeper and will help with anything you need. She works the afternoon shift and even though the peak check-in, will take her time to explain everything in great detail. The Property is easy to find and with a convenient initial park at the back of the hotel, then the card to enter the garage right behind with free in/out parking included in your daily rate. Having covered parking on hot days is a must (PS if you check out, you can park in the 30 minute parking spots until you leave). Another tip, don't struggle with the trolley trying to enter the Hotel as there is a slight bump in the rear door to negotiate. Just go Infront and pull your trolley and it's much easier to enter. The lobby is fab and has entertainment for all. From a pool table, to soccer table and comfortable seating. Its where breakfast pastries and coffee/tea is provided and has a small bar. There is one elevator given the size of the Property but access using the stairs is easy. Rooms are spacious, housekeeping is done daily and there is little you need once in your rooms. Now another tip. Your stay allows access to the WAVE resort and to its private beach, pool and gym. You have to show your room key and will be issued armbands. Note that it's a 10-15 minute walk and not immediately close by but well worth the visit. Alex Warren manages the Property and is really helpful to show you around. From the Hotel it is a block to the Pier Shopping Center and the most awesome restaurants around. The beach is clean and so is the boardwalk. Book early and Kate can help with suggestions. Wonderful stay at this Property and we plan to return again and again.

The wedge salad came without utensils and the chicken that was supposed to be on it were missing. They did fix it but obviously that takes time.

They snuck it in ours once we asked for itemized bill Hate leaving poor reviews for businesses that rely so heavily on them this day and age, but have to share this story to give others a heads up to some suspicious activity and hope that managers see and stop this from happening. We got 4 drinks at the tiki bar today from a younger blonde male bartender. Once we asked for the check he gave us an unitemized receipt that was higher than we expected. We asked for an itemized receipt to check, which he hesitated to get. Upon looking we were charged a 22% "large party surcharge". Not an included tip, a surcharge to then tip on top of. We were 4 people. We asked why that charge was there and he said it was a mistake, then sent someone else over with the corrected bill amount. I have a feeling this happens way more than we think. Always get your bill itemized people, this was unethical behavior that I can't trust.

Splinter HELL, I hope you don't want ice…read more This hotel was fantastic at first, especially the corner pool terrace suite. Easy access to the pool, large and lots of light. But my god, it is splinter hell. Us, along with 3 other families that we knew of, were realizing at the pool that us and our kid's feet were completely full of splinters. We spent a total of about 3 hours at the pool over 2 days and my four year old had over 50 splinters in each foot! I had about 10 and spouse a few less. My four year old will not even let me look at his foot, nevertheless remove the splinters - yeah right. I think we are going to need to get sedated. This has ruined the stay to be honest. The hotel also didn't have tweezers. At least two families complained and nothing seemed to be done about it. The deck is extremely dry. This wouldn't be a hard problem to solve. ICE. I requested ice about 20 different ways, because there is no ice machine so they say just request it: - through the app on their tablet (3x, nothing) - through calling the front desk (2x, nothing) - in person at the front desk (2x, nothing) - through text to the front desk (4x, nothing) - in person to the person that came to the room one night (2x, 1x worked!) I got ice once, woohoooooo! The tablet is a joke. I needed an extra bedsheet and requested it through the tablet and it never came. In person at the front desk it did, however. Beautiful hotel, but the splinters ruined it. You could not pay ME to stay somewhere that my autistic kid gets 100 splinters in his feet. The hotel is feeling a bit neglected in some ways. Our "terrace" had algae on the deck area, one couch cushion had a big brown spot and there was half of a DEAD BIRD on our terrace. It was there the whole time. Of course my 4 year old was enthralled.Yay.

I am writing this review because I feel strongly that a family was treated extremely unfairly by…read morethe owners of the Surfrider Beach Club. This family had been loyal members for approximately five years and built many friendships within the club community. For the 2026 season, they paid roughly $8,000 in membership fees. About a week before the official opening, they stopped by briefly--at approximately 2:55 pm, just minutes before the 3:00 pm closing--to drop off a single bin at their cabana. This was a simple, two-minute task. Instead, they were confronted by a maintenance employee, Jimmy, in what can only be described as an unnecessarily aggressive and disproportionate manner. The situation escalated quickly over something minor and easily resolved. Thankfully, their children were not present to witness it. The following day, the family was informed that their membership had been canceled. According to the owners, this decision was driven by the same employee, who reportedly threatened to leave if the family remained. He also made several accusations against them--claims the family firmly denies. What is most troubling is that the owners appear to have accepted these accusations at face value and made a drastic decision without a fair or balanced review. Long-standing, paying members were removed based on one employee's demands, with no meaningful attempt at resolution. The explanation given--that the club "can't afford to lose him right now"--is not only disappointing, but speaks volumes about how little value is placed on members who have invested both financially and socially in the club. The impact has been especially hard on the children, who were part of the swim team and are now excluded from a place that had been an important part of their summers for years. At its core, this situation reflects a serious failure in judgment and management. Members should expect fairness, professionalism, and basic respect--none of which were demonstrated here. Anyone considering joining Surfrider Beach Club should think carefully before making a significant commitment. Based on this experience, there is little assurance that members will be treated reasonably if an issue arises. While this has been a deeply disappointing experience, the family has fortunately found another club where they hope to be treated with the consideration and respect they deserve.

And I'm a partier so I'm usually unbothered by a little noise. if IM complaining about noise that's a bad sign. Aside from that the rooms aren't very welcoming. The uncarpeted floors have a cold vibe and the old air conditioner from the 80s sounded like it was on its last leg. The price of the room is that of a 5 star hotel and the lobby and event spaces are amazing. But the hotel rooms themselves feel like a 2 star hotel unfortunately. Really needs an update. The bed was comfortable but the furniture, the noise, and the old AC system were surprisingly low effort. I wouldn't stay here again unless I absolutely had to due to proximity to their event space.

This is a great hotel with excellent staff and the North Suite was a highlight despite some quirks…read more We stayed at The Oyster Point Hotel over Christmas while visiting family and had a very positive overall experience, even with a few hiccups along the way. The front desk staff was professional and courteous. One young man was clearly in training, and the young woman guiding him was extremely knowledgeable and polite which to me was a great example of mentorship done right. Unfortunately, our original room had a heater that was rattling loudly and had pooled water on top of it, which I recorded and showed to the front desk. To their credit, maintenance responded quickly, and the technician was friendly, professional, and even helped move my luggage. He brought us keys to a new room, and the front desk upgraded us to the North Suite, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. The North Suite was fantastic with a large space with a massive balcony and beautiful views, along with a comfortable seating area outside. Sadly, due to the season, it was too cold to enjoy the balcony, but we appreciated the feature. That said, the suite wasn't perfect: The shower area was oddly dark, with little lighting. There was no air vent in the bathroom, which seemed unusual. The sink was smaller than the one in the standard suite. Neither of the two TVs worked, though I didn't want to complain during the stay and just mentioned it at checkout. The bathroom door didn't latch, which was a minor but noticeable issue. The smoke detector is missing from the ceiling, which gave me pause. Despite those flaws, the service and staff stood out. I witnessed two bar employees being rudely berated by guests over late food (which obviously wasn't their fault), and they handled the situation with professionalism and calm. I was so impressed by their professionalism under pressure (and so thoroughly disgusted by that table of senior citizens who should know better than to act that way) that I tipped each of them $50 each on top of our drink tab to make up for how poorly they were treated. Speaking of which, the bar area is a wonderful little spot, with friendly staff and the occasional live music, making it a fun place to unwind without leaving the hotel. The cocktails are excellent as well. This hotel has long been our go-to when in town, and while there were a few issues this time, the staff's attentiveness and care truly made the experience special. We're already looking forward to our return in 2026. TIP: Be mindful of where you park! The handicap parking is limited, and one of the spaces is under a tree that's heavily populated with birds. Our car was completely covered in bird droppings. I mean absolutely covered. Avoid that spot if you can.
