"I liked the history, idea of it. Didn’t feel like they offered enough for what was paid. Son’s room decorated much cuter, could feel the era more. Our room, not too much effort put forth, plus a door under one of the beds. Like, who cares. A lamp on floor to keep curtain drawn for ac."

La Mer Beachfront Resort

La Mer Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We found the room very convenient, comfortable and to our liking. The pool was great and the service at the beach was well-managed, easy and friendly. We used the laundry service to our satisfaction although it was a little challenging to figure out. My only disappointment, and this will not apply to most people, is that there was amplified live music during dinner time, from 6 to 9 every evening, and we would have liked to eat and hang out on our balcony facing the pool. Unfortunately the music was quite loud, and impossible to ignore. Because of it we had to stay indoors or go out during those hours. I realize I am difficult on this matter, because most people like pop music or can tune it out, As a professional musician that is not the case for me. Other than that we had a fabulous time in Cape May and at La Mer, truly a class act. The weather cooperated and the beach was wonderful. I will definitely stay again at La Mer."
