The Wave Resort offers a fantastic view of the ocean, an incredible location near excellent dining and shopping and most of all, an amazing staff. From our welcome with Aiden, to our check-in with Taylor (and another lovely gentleman for whom I did not catch a name), what a wonderful place!

It’s a nice boutique style hotel. But not worth the price. be aware they charge you daily for a microwave. Our room was a king bed with a Terrace which had no chairs or table on the terrace & when I asked for chairs they sent two tiny old rusty chairs. The room was very clean but very small ; walls are thin and I can hear the neighbors; the bathroom was very clean. No iron available in the room. Just small inconveniences. All in all if you have the money ; go for it. But it wasn’t worth the $$$

I didn't like that there were no chairs for the beach. I was told that nj law forbade beach chairs on the beach until memorial day.

The checkin process was easy, with friendly staff. Room was very clean and spacious, the furniture looked worn and could use a facelift. We had an ocean front room, but no furniture on the deck due it being early May. Limited amenities for a resort style hotel. Additional daily cost ($55) for valet parking located across from the property on a dirt lot. Overall it’s a nice resort.

This property was beautiful inside and out. The room was spacious and laid out well. It was nice to have a sofa but the tv should be adjustable to enjoy from the sofa. The beds were excellent and the linens too. Spacious bathroom and just so pretty. Lots of little details too so you felt comfortable and less like a hotel. The best thing was the large balcony facing the ocean, absolutely gorgeous!! My only issues were that the property is being renovated and 2 dining options were closed. There was a little noise not disturbing though. The TV did not work in our room after several efforts to fix by the engineer? Also, I wish that the balcony furniture would have been outside to use during our stay. Staff were excellent, especially the doormen!

I had a great weekend getaway here for my birthday, during the off season. Lot's of great dining options and breathtaking views. For the price, breakfast should be included. The resort fee should be less during off season, as we cannot take advantage of pool or beach, so what are we paying for?

Right next to the beach, quiet area in the off season. Probably lounder during the summer months. The downside was definitely the price gouging involved with this hotel. 50$ for valet parking to go 10 feet away to a dirt lot. 25$ a day to borrow a microwave that should be included at a "resort" . When we pulled out the sofa couch my son complained of sand eveywhere . Overall it is next to many shops (½ not open during winter/spring for more than a few hours during the day), clean, nice area to be in for a quick getaway.

Beautiful place, but read the fine print.
Beautiful place, friendly staff and very clean. My only ding would be the $55 resort fee in the winter when you are not using the pool or beach areas and you find out after they take your car and park it that the valet is $55/day. At this point you are in, settled and trying to enjoy your day, who wants to play move my car???
