I stayed at the Madison (Ocean Tower) and definitely recommend!…read more I'll start by mentioning the three things that prevented me from giving a five star review. First, the elevator was down while we were there which wasn't a huge deal for us but since we were on the 3rd floor it made me wonder about folks with disabilities or any kind of knee or back issue. I felt this was a new resort growing pain though and hope they can get this worked out. Second, and another growing pain likely, while the pool on day 1 was heated and amazing as was the hot tub, on day 2 the heater wasn't working and there essentially was no hot tub and the pool was much cooler, though still enjoyable. The final component is more of a structural design issue that won't change but I thought I'd mention. The sink is outside of the bathroom. There is no sink in the bathroom. This means you need to exit the bathroom to wash your hands. We dealt with it but it's a bit of a design flaw. Now onto all the good! First, when I called about an early check in they said that while they couldn't guarantee that, we were welcome to come and get a parking pass and our pool passes while we wait. I think that's a wonderful alternative! It was much appreciated! Then, when we got there our room was ready! An even nicer surprise since we were about 2 hours early to check in. The place is new with new furniture and new flooring in the rooms. We had an adorable retro-looking microwave and refrigerator in our room. We even had bath robes available. The room was also stocked with really great smelling (green tea and coconut) shampoo, conditioner and bath gel. The pool area is wonderful with a cute pink and white theme. The cabanas are rentals, which we didn't do, but they certainly looked lovely. At night there are fire tables available and the deck has beautiful lighting. There is a rooftop open longe area on the 4th floor. There is also a snack stand right on the pool deck and a restaurant connected to the patio. When staying at the Madison you have access to both pools (though since we were only there a weekend we didn't venture over to spend time at the Royal Tower pool, which is the old Royal Hawaiian pool, and is still in tact with the middle island and large hot tub area). There is a small gym on site (again, talking specifically about the Ocean Tower - not sure what's at the Royal Tower in this capacity). Checked it out but didn't use it. The tower sets up chairs and umbrellas on the beach in a first come first serve capacity but again, a great service. Makes you feel elite. And lastly, something we used a lot, was the free shuttle service. The shuttle service is unique (only one other hotel in the area does this) and will take you to and from the boardwalk, local restaurants or close attractions. Tom and Jack, the two drivers we had, were super friendly and accommodating. Overall, everyone was quite friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. It was clean and comfortable. While we mostly stay in condos when down there, I would definitely stay here again! In fact, I look forward to it! #MadisonMoments

Stayed here July 1st thru the 3rd 2026 and paid for an Ocean front room with a kitchenette. The…read moreprice for two nights at The Madison Royal resort with the "Summer Sizzle Special" with taxes was just under $1200 dollars. I thought that was awful expensive but for Ocean front I expected a beautiful room with a view of the ocean. When I arrived and checked in BOY was I mistaken. My Ocean front room was ground floor with a view of the pool, lounge chairs and a fence. The room was very basic and everytime you entered the bathroom you would trip or stub your toe due to a tripping hazard that the bathroom is 1 1/2" higher and the same type of flooring that it blends in and you don't notice the problem. Beware of room #100. Tried to get moved to a similar room or even a downgrade but to no avail. I have stayed in a lot of hotels and condo's all over the USA and I have to warn everyone SAVE YOUR MONEY and find another hotel to stay even if it costs a few dollars more.

It's very clean, the rooms are decently sized, the pool is beautiful, and the location is awesome. It is across the street from the beach and you can see and hear the ocean from every room. The boardwalk is a couple blocks away, so you're never too far from fun. The restaurant looks old but the food is very good and fairly priced. In short, if you're planning a Wildwood trip, you can't go wrong at Acropolis.

It has a nice clean outdoor pool that is well-maintained and provides clean towels and lounge chairs. Our room for a family of five was just right with two queen beds and a pullout couch/bed in the living room. Our room also had many of the towels folded into adorable flowers and a great view of the beach/shore. Parking is available right around the building as well as on the street, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. One night, there was a very heavy rain storm. Since our back door was facing the beach, some water crept in through the bottom of the door. We were able to stop the leak with towels and called housekeeping who provided a door guard that soaks up water in case it happened again. For the price we paid, we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others as well.

I know everyone has different experiences but I've been at Beachcomber going on my 14th season…read more Are there times when I'm not happy about something, , yes, who isn't it's normal. but I will say this. Beachcomber is an awesome place. The staff and my neighbors and other seasonals are like family. There are rules and regulations everywhere and need to be. That being said, once again they came thru for me. I am 73, and I took a pretty good fall. I called the front desk, told them what happen and I had security guards, you know who you are, with a medical background here in minutes. Checking on me, asking to call an ambulance and they didn't leave until they were sure I was OK. My neighbors checked in and one even made me dinner the next day. Thank you All! Say what you may Beachcomber rocks! Even with the bad storms they were right on it. It is a safe place, a nice family owned campground. Ive see some people checking in being not so nice to the reservation clerks, life guards, activity directors and so on. Try being nice sometime and you will be treated with respect in return . It's very busy and everyone is doing the best they can. Once again Thank you Beachcomber
