Important information:

Introducing Wildwood Crest’s newest beachfront resort. Catch the Aloha Spirit, and experience a family-friendly escape that offers endless opportunities for fun and adventure. Located at the southernmost point of Wildwood Crest, where it meets Diamond Beach, Mahalo sits in an beautiful family friendly beach neighborhood known for its white sand, swimming, surfing, paddle boarding, and relaxation. And, there are so many other things to do in the area. For explorers big and small, visit the world-famous Wildwood Boardwalk, amusement piers and waterparks. To sum it up, our resort and surrounding area are filled with opportunities to make special memories. We call these memories, Mahalo Moments.

Mahalo is perfect for a family vacation, but there’s no shortage of fun for adults! Numerous restaurants, craft breweries, wineries, distilleries and a vibrant night-life are just minutes away. There is also plenty to experience for the nature lover in your group.

When you are ready to take a break from all of that fun, our guest rooms and suites are waiting. Each is beautifully appointed with natural island-inspired decor. In-room and resort amenities have been thoughtfully selected to ensure the right balance of relaxation and adventure for your stay.

Our 56 Hawaiian inspired Rooms & Suites are appointed with natural textures, a light earthy color scheme and a breezy island feel. Our exterior halls provide each room quick access to the pool, our ocean view pergola lounge areas, the Mahalo Pantry in the lobby, or our on-site breakfast area so you don’t have to leave the hotel to grab a quick bite before hitting the beach!

At Mahalo, kids are king and that means kids of all ages and sizes. Whether you are bringing your immediate family or the whole clan, we know how important it is to create memories that will stay with you forever. Moments where you can simply relax at the beach or by the pool, stop by the lobby to say, “Aloha!” to Maui the Macaw, or wander off for a fun filled afternoon.

Whether you are splashing about in our pool waterfall, relaxing in our beach chairs by the ocean, exploring the island on a Mahalo bicycle, or catching the ICONA Shuttle to the Boardwalk, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Mahalo Diamond Beach.

While you are here, we hope you will catch a little of our Aloha Spirit. This spirit brings warmth, welcome and love to all who visit. You can find it everywhere - with our staff, our resort amenities, and our island inspired decor. It’s simply a way you feel when you stay with us. Peaceful, relaxed and still energized by the sights, sounds and adventure of the Wildwoods.

If you don’t know us yet, Mahalo’s sister resort, ICONA Diamond Beach, is located just two doors away. It is home to Coastal Blue Restaurant, The Star Beach Bar, and summer kid’s activities that can be enjoyed by Mahalo guests.

Cons:

The elevator was a joke. How could a property this size have an elevator that barely fit the luggage rack. The elevator was the only negative of the property.

Pros:

Schöner Pool mit vielen Liegen und Sonnenschirmen. Hotel ganz nah am Meer. Stühle für Strand können gratis ausgeliehen werden( allerdings keine Schirme oder Liegen.) Super gratis Shuttle der dich zb jederzeit zum Boardwalk nach Wildwood oder ähnliche Ziel bringt. Kaffee am Zimmer und in der Lobby.

Cons:

Kissen viel zu hoch. Sonst Betten aber in Ordnung. Wenn man im Zimmer ist wenn das Zimmermädchen kommen will, bringt sie nur Handtücher kommt aber nicht nochmal später zum Putzen. Aber war nicht schlimm. Leider keine Frühstücksoption aber Cafés in der Nähe.

I was disappointed in the smallness and overall condition of the room,
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable and roomy.

Cons:

The room was very small. The tub was chipped in places. We had to ask for a safe to be brought up to our room even though it was advertised as having one. Balcony overlooking the pool was tiny and hard to get to the chairs on the deck. The sides of the pool itself needed some patch work. I expected much more for the price we paid for this week.

Lovely Beach getaway resort
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and accommodating as soon as we requested something we needed. The suite was very nice, clean and we even had a view of the ocean which was wonderful.

Cons:

The only little complaint we had was the room cleaning service. There appeared not to be a set time. We got up and went to breakfast and came back and the suite was not made up which we didn't think much of at that time bc it was still morning. Then we headed to the beach and did not come back to the suite until the late afternoon and it still was not cleaned. We wanted to shower and go out for the day and as we were doing so the maid came. She was very nice and apologized and asked if we needed anything. So we got some extra towels, and toilet paper, but the room wasn't cleaned. We had a short trip to begin with and also unfortunately had to leave a day early b/c my husband developed a health issue so we never did get room cleaning during our stay.
