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!

We had an oceanfront room. It was perfect! Awesome view of the ocean where you could hear the waves in your room! The room was clean and well kept. The housekeeping staff were amazing. The front desk staff were polite and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Disappointing

Beds were comfortable but that’s it. Living room furniture was weirdly shaped and covered in plastic. It smelled musty as well
