New to the boards but not to WW!

[dolfinmusic]

Hello all! Newbie here! My name is Terri and I have been addicted to WW for 33 years now! I have gone down every year and hate to come home! I was just down there last week for my first stay at the Caribbean in the Crest - very cute motel by the way! We normally stay at the Sahara Motel (18th and boards) but every now and then we try another place. We started staying at the Sahara when I was 5!

I am kind of bummed about all the places that are going to never, never land WW sure has change a lot since I was a child. I miss Hunt's pier - they had the best rides!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for setting up these boards! It is helping me get over my sadness of having to come home. At least WW is only a 2 hr drive - so that is a good thing!

Welcome! The Caribbean is looking great. Every time I've come to the Wildwoods this year, I make sure I get a few good looks at it. Love that place. They seem to have done a really nice job with the renovations/upgrades/restoration, etc.

I agree. They did a nice resto job on the Caribbean

They did! The outside looks great!!!! We had one of the newly renovated rooms and I do have to admit that I was not too wild about the color scheme of it though. Sorry The walls and ceiling were green and the desk and headboards were yellow. I think for me - the green was just a little too drab but other than that - it was and is a great place! Very clean too! I was happy that we stayed here! I always remember looking in the old WW books and seeing the pool lit up at night and someone swimming in the pool and thought how cool!!! Plus the cool shape of the pool. Plus it always looked like a fun place to stay! It was very pretty at night with all the colorful lights lit! The new owners are doing a great job! Plus saving a great hotel!!

Welcome Terri! I just got back today from WW and I want to go back! I was actually thinking about going again in August and possibly staying at the Caribbean. We took a drive by it and it looks really nice. I remember looking through old books too and thinking how cool the pool looks!

Thanks for the welcome Mary!!! Welcome home! Stinks - I know!!! You should stay at the Caribbean! It was really cool but if you want to stay in one of the renovated rooms - you will probably have to ask because I believe only like 12 have been done so far. At least with the green and yellow paint! lol!! Not sure if they all have the new lights, linens and carpeting in all the rooms. Oh!! And you know how when you go to the motels and they have the speaker and dial but they never work??? Weren't we shocked when we found a dial on the wall - turned it and music started playing!!! They play music out by the pool all day and you can have it in your room too! But only certain hours - probably the pool hrs - 10am - 7pm maybe. Nice touch though! It was clean and not much interaction with the hotel staff but friendly when we did. They also have free coffee in the AM. Parking spots are tight though!

Hi Terri, Welcome to the "board". I can tell you that it is very addictive. I love knowing that others feel the way I do. Saying goodbye to WW every year is a little sad. I know I am home when the smell of salt air is gone. But then I look forward to the future visits and I'm ok especially in Winter sharing all of new memories with fellow members.
