Caribbean Motel

"I never got the chance to stay at Caribbean Motel, this review is based on the booking process only. I booked a reservation for August via the motel’s website. I never received a confirmation email. I waited a few days and checked my spam folder but still nothing. I checked my credit card statement and there was no charge, so I thought perhaps I did something wrong and the reservation didn’t go through. So, I attempted to make the reservation again. And again, I didn’t get a confirmation email. I tried reaching out to the motel via phone a few times and also by email. Half the time when I called, no one answered, and I never got an email back. I was finally able to get a hold of someone on the phone who saw that I did in fact have two different reservations. This person said they don’t send out confirmation emails until the credit card is charged. The person cancelled one of reservations. Still, no confirmation email on any of this. I checked my credit card statement last night and saw that I was finally charged for one night’s stay. And yet, still no confirmation email. And, yes, I checked my spam folder. Twice. At this point I was fed up. I called the motel and asked to cancel my reservation altogether. I asked for an email confirming the cancellation but I’m not holding out any hope that I’ll get one. I’ll just have to check my cc statement. How on earth does a business operate this way? You don’t send an email until the credit card is charged? Yet you don’t charge it until nearly two weeks after the reservation was made? It’s a shame. This place looks so cute. I really wanted to stay here. But what a joke of a reservation process."

"Rooms are always clean, comfortable beds, most have kitchenettes with microwave, utensils, wifi, TV, heated pool, free coffee in the a.m. and staff and cleaning crew are the best. The only place we stay when going to Wildwood Crest"

"The original Wildwood Crest motel and among the first built in the Wildwoods. It would be nice to stay at the Caribbean sometime and relive where the Wildwood resort spot all started."

"Great hotel. Very clean. That is my big sticking point. Very clean Very important. Beds clean, hot water good and hot and air conditioning worked great."

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Caribbean Motel. The place was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the pool was clean and refreshing, and the owners were very nice and accommodating. It is not a place to expect luxury, but it is so cute and couldn’t be any cleaner. We’ll definitely be back! If you like walking, it’s very nice because you are at the south end of the boardwalk and can get a really nice and long down and back walk on the boards. The boardwalk and beach are one short block away. There are lots of pool chairs and good parking."
