I have been to many beaches on the east coast and I must say this property is the best location I have been to the Wildwood Crest beach is right outside your room at the Bal Harbor. The staff is also first class as well. Very warm personable & attentive .They honestly made my wife and I feel like family... More

This hotel is falling apart. The air quality is the absolute worst. Air conditioners were blowing a smelly warm air from ceiling vents. When we complained, a maintainance worker came and adjusted something but it only fixed the temperature for a short time. They tried to blame us for opening the balcony door but we never even opened it. The... More

I am writing to complain about the Bal Harbor. We have been coming to the Crest for most of the last 30 years and have NEVER had a problem like this before. On 2/3/13 I called the hotel and spoke to Lee. I asked about booking mid week specials and weekend specials in September 2013. I asked if the room... More

Please be advised that this customer was given all the proper information over the phone when they called to make a reservation in early February. The reservations were from September 15th departing September 22nd... The long and short of this is this customer does not want to pay for our special request fee for our off season vacation specials The... More

I grew up in South Jersey envying people who stayed at this hotel. The staff is very knowledgeable, but the internal mechanisms are really starting to show wear. If you go, any room you have will have some kind of ocean view. The pool areas are looked after constantly. And you're right on the ocean. That alone to me is... More

The layout of the rooms are great but it ends there. Screen door was broken, carpet worn and torn with nails sticking out. The efficiency room had had two forks and was missing many other kitchen items. Staff was informed and stated they didn't know anything about it. They were rude and didn't really care. The restaurant service couldn''t be... More

I am writing this review as my fiancee' and I just stayed at Bal Harbour on Oct 6 while this is still fresh in my mind. We checked in that afternoon to be greeted by a very friendly, courteous young lady. (Jamie) Lobby was clean and with nice furnishings, with check-in a breeze. Needed taxi info to call one and...

We're old Wildwood vacationers. To me it doesn't get any better than oceanfront with good sized rooms and very nice views. Don't understand the rude comments--guess its how you approach people. Me, I try a good joke and kindness. We had the Dickstein familly reunion and decided to go back post season. Always have a good time. I guess its... More

We didn't even spend the night here, it was so awful. The hallways are dark and dingy, there are no pictures on the walls in the rooms. It was a basic room that smelled of old air conditioning. It looks like the owner is pulling most of the revenue for himself and only putting back into the place the amount... More

We just got home from a beautiful 25th anniversary weekend trip! Our room had a great view of the ocean and plenty of space. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I have to agree with the previous poster-better toilet paper and decent hand soap would be an improvement. The hotel was clean and the flatscreen tv was a good... More
