The Cara Mara Hotel was a disappointment. The game room was a joke, billiards table imbalanced and no cue ball, air hockey didn't work, shuffleboard court cracked and lumpy, shuffleboard sticks broken and bent. Maid service was irregular, we were there 5 nights and only had a maid 3 times. We were told that the maid didn't speak English and... more

My family and I have been visiting the Wildwoods for the past 35+ years (since I was a baby). We were very much disappointed when the hotel(s) we had previously used were all torn down to build those ridiculous million-dollar condos. We thought our days of fun and sun "down the shore" were gone...then we found the Cara Mara! Listen,... more

We had a great time at the Cara Mara. The room we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. The office people were very nice and we loved the Wawa coffee in the moring. It was nothing fancy but the room was decorated very nice and kept up well. We would most def come back next year. For the price,... more

This has to be one of the worst places I have ever been to. A disgusting, dirty, old, broken down mess. Just yuck! When we checked in we were told "Good luck if the remote works for the TV, most are broken." Then when we got to the room we checked everything to make sure the TV worked and ...yeap... more

Planned a last minute trip to Wildwood last week and ended up booking at the Cara Mara for over $700 for 3 nights. The place is not worth more than $80/night. The room smelled due to the air the AC was blowing, I think the unit was from 1920. No clock in the room, no remote for the TV, shower... more

We have been going to the Cara Mara since 2005. We have also referred family members there. The motel is SO cute...definitely 50's style! The rooms are bright, and though the motel is from the 60's, the rooms are VERY very clean!!! The pool is great, and the shuffleboard and play areas for the kids are a nice touch. Great... more
