Cara Mara Resort

We booked the Cara Mara through Expedia and it says it's a motel. It is Not. It is condominiums so every one is different. It was nonrefundable but said we wouldn't be charged until our stay, we were charged immediately. For check in we were texted a code for a lock box for our room key. The key wasn't there. We had to call and he did come right over. You get one key or at least we did. Our room was a loving room when you came in and then the bedroom and kitchenette were the same room. There were dishes but I have never stayed anywhere that didn't provide coffee or dish soda when there is a kitchen. We also didn't have a full roll of toilet paper and there was no spare so we went to shop rite and got these things as we weren't sure what we would be getting. There is housekeeping though. Th

Service fine. Five minutes walk to the beach. The rooms are very outdated. Needs to be cleaner. The beds are hard a rock. My girl and I were here for one night. The light came right through the curtain. We barely got any sleep. But we had a great time together. But please update the rooms.

Great location but beware these are condos not a true motel. I can only speak to the unit I stayed in, but we had to leave early from unit 209 after waking up covered in probable bed bug bites. Hard avoid.

My boys, mom, and myself had a wonderful vacation while staying at Cara Mara. Location is quiet, clean, just a short walk to the beach and short drive to the games and rides on the boardwalk. The motel was also quiet, clean, family-friendly. The service was excellent, quick to clean rooms, responsive to our needs and friendly. The pool was very nice - warm, clean, uncrowded. Music and smoking is prohibited outdoors, making the environment peaceful and ideal for families. And the room prices are affordable. Loved it here. Would recommend. We will stay here again.

Both the name and much of the website misrepresent what this place is, it’s basically a motel with a nice pool. The room was clean but relatively dated. The beds were comfortable. The location is nice, it’s a good family area and the other people staying were nice. Overall not a bad place, but I feel I paid a lot for it, probably more than it was really worth (could be my fault for booking late though)
