I have been taking my family to Amethyst Beach Motel for years now I take my grandchildren. One year we changed thinking we were getting a better deal but that was a hugh mistake. At Amethyst you know what you are getting consistantly year to year. I love that we can walk to the beach and Jenkinsons-we park the car... More

We had a great stay.  Room was clean and the staff was friendly. My son and I were in town overnight for a easily morning fishing trip. This place was perfect for us. My son wanted to stay another night. We are Looking forward to a visit later this summer when it warms up, the pool looks so inviting.

In March my family and I took a trip down to PPB to see if the town would be ready for this summer after the damage of Hurricane Sandy. (They will be.) We stopped into the Amethyst to make our reservations for August. As usual, we were greeted at the front desk with an outstanding welcome, especially from Ashley. What... More

Reservations made for my summer vacation. Had to see for myself so I took a ride to Point Pleasant Beach. We booked Amethyst for our stay. The woman at the front desk was very nice and helpful. She showed us around the facility and worked with us to hey the best rates. Can't wait for July!!

Just left the Amethyst Beach Motel and was pleased with the accommodations. Pricing Was right and I have to say the new bedding was really very comfortable. Still prepping for Summer so pool isn’t open yet but they tell me they are shooting for early May weather permitting. Will try and get back then to take advantage of the less... More

If you are going to book this motel call and do not use the on-line reservation service. This motel is working with FEMA to help Sandy Hurricane victims which is very commendable; however, you can get cancelled at the last minute. This particular area of NJ has very few motel/hotels so finding housing at the last minute can pose a... More

We have stayed at the Amethyst Motel before, and when planning a fall weekend at the beach, we didn't hesitate to book again. Staff was extremely helpful and attentive. While the Motel is definitely showing its age, it seems that everything is done to make your stay pleasureable. My only complaint is that the complimentary breakfast wasn't available-only coffee was... More

Booked my post season reservation the day before. The room that Laura suggested was perfect for my husband and myself. Bathroom was clean, lighting was great for a motel and I really appreciated the large full length mirror in the deluxe two queen bedroom. The pool was still open and my husband loved the 9 foot deep end with diving... More

If you are looking for a place to stay in PPB, then try the Amethyst Beach Motel. First of all, it is perfectly located for all activities and it is on the main road leading into PPB (Arnold Avenue). The motel is at the end of the main parking lot so we walked to the beach every day and then... More
