Didn’t believe the rave reviews before I booked but decided to try it anyway. It’s all true!!!! We are so happy to have found this luxurious hotel just an hour from home on the Jersey Shore. The Wave had everything we needed. A beautiful and relaxing decor, greeted with a glass of champagne, lunch outside on the board walk lounge, an exhilarating spa treatment (Ingrid was absolutely the best), drinks by the fire pits at night, great food, heated outdoor swimming pool that was still open in October and the beach just steps away….not to mention all of the restaurants and shops within steps as well. No need for our car. Easy self-parking in the public garage across the street for $30 per night. I HIGHLY recommend The Wave Resort in Long Branch!!!!
