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!

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