Fun for three year olds

The hotel had a real ice skating rink! My 3 year old loved all the activities! Pretty beach. Nice pool. The over seas help was not great. I got attitude from the pool girl who had trouble with her English. Anyway--the pools are wonderful, they have pirate ship playgrounds and bouncing equipment in the back. We watched a movie on the beach (Monsters vs Aliens) The hotel had a big movie screen and gave out glow necklaces for children. It was a big hit with the little ones. They could use a little more help with serving food in the lobby. Good luck!

Carousel Resort

Clean hotel, very removed from board walk but that adds to the location in other ways. Staff all seemed new to the area so unable to recommend restaurants and places to go; services close too early in the night without a place to go after 11; need a place for a late breakfast - it is a vacation place; would be more resort like if they offered drink service on the beach. Wi-fi was weak; Bowling and Movies close by; Its an ok place, good room price for the location.

this is a great place

mostly we came for the beach last trip of the year and because we were aware the weather might not be great we chose a place with an indoor pool and other things the kids would like. unfortunately the ice rink was closed as well as the outdoor pool which we could have done on the first day of our trip. the air was too cool to really enjoy the beach, but the pool is protected by dunes. the kids really liked the game room although it was small and we had one of the best pizzas we ever had at a restaurant.

Quick getaway for family

The hotel is perfect for someone who is planning a last-min getaway that offers kid's activities. There are always something for them to do in this hotel, they also had kids clubs in the evening and movies on the beach at night, which my kids loved. If you book your trip at the very last minute, you may not geta reasonable price.

Instead of going out to eat, the hotel offers reasonably priced dinners. If you want to save time, rather than going out to popular joints, you might consider the hotel's restaurants.
