Esplanade Suites, a Sundance Vacations Resort — Hotel in Wildwood

We stayed at this location for a week. The location was outstanding, just a block and a half walk to the boardwalk/beach. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and matched the pictures. A few challenges that prevented me from giving it 5 stars - limited parking to a single vehicle. As Sundance members, this is the only location we’ve stayed at where parking was limited to 1 vehicle. In a 2-bedroom that sleeps 6, we had more than 1 vehicle and it required us to pay for additional parking. The most affordable lot was at the boardwalk for overnight parking. While the room sleeps 6, it doesn’t comfortably accommodate 6 people. There was one couch that could seat 3-4 people if everyone sat next to one another. The table in the kitchen had 4 stool and would only accommodate 2 people to comfortably sit and eat at the table. The room didn’t have sufficient cutlery and bowls for 6 people; it’s also the only Sundance location we’ve stayed at that didn’t have a dishwasher, so we had to wash dishes after every meal we ate there. We didn’t ask for more dishes, etc. I’m sure they would have provided if asked, but it stood out to meet that it wasn’t set up for the number of people that could sleep there. Since we were in the corner, we also didn’t have any outdoor area to sit by the room. It’s also the only Sundance location we’ve stayed at that didn’t have a private, outdoor area for each room. |Overall, the stay was good. I’d suggest confirming where your room is located and if you have multiple vehicles in your group, research parking options in advance. We didn’t expect it and had to do some last minute searching. Street parking for a whole week was very expensive and not always available...

A huge Thank You to the team at Esplanade. This was my first trip using the service and a trip planner. This place is so cozy and just the right atmosphere for the family. Many places have changed over the years and are doing things differently. Despite it saying room service is provided once during your stay or the "rules" set forth, these folks go above and beyond! They try to limit being intrusive or micromanaging your stay but will also get whatever you need should you ask! The young lady I met was Teal. She was so sweet & answered all my questions right then & there! She explained where local attractions were, the best spots to eat, and greeted us with a lovely smile. Another gentleman was leaving the office but introduced himself as Matt. He was also a very kind and welcoming face who asked if we'd needed anything before he left to tend to another guests needs. The rooms are updated and just what ya need for a quick vacation. The pool is immaculate. The grounds are clean. Everything is pretty well maintained and overall a very cozy, feels like home, relaxing atmosphere. I won't write a novel but at the end of it all, WE WILL BE BACK! I think I've found my new go to spot & I'll be booking another trip ASAP. Thank you to the stellar team at Esplanade! Have a wonderful & safe remainder to summer 2025!...

If I could give this place a zero I would. I am a Sundance member using one of our weeks for the first time. This experience has really made me feel like this was a bad investment. The pictures on the website make it look like the rooms are bigger the whole apartment can fit in my living room. There is certainly not enough room for my husband, me an 11yr old and a 15 yr old. The room is dirty, upon arrival I had to clean the bathroom and wipe down all areas because it was just dingy from the towels to the bedding. The sheets in the bedroom had small blood spots on them like they may have had bed bugs at one time. My husband and I wound up going to Walmart and getting sheets, towels wash clothes and a bath mat just to may it more comfortable. The pictures on the website have mats around the pool nice and green.. NOT! The pictures on the website have nice wicker table and chair sets for use while using the geill NOT! They have those old round opucnic tables with no back that you see in the park or at a campsite or something. The olace is just horrible and nothing like the pictures. Adding a few pictures to confirm my story! We are here for a week and we have to make the best of it but I would never stay here again. Oh and the apartment has this...
