Small rooms, but great location. Staff was very friendly. For some reason, the pool closes really early, so we didn’t get to swim at all.

Loved being near the beach. It was great being able to sit on 3rd floor balcony to observe and hear the serenity of ocean without getting sand in my shoes. The rooms are fully equipped so you can shop, make your own meals and save $. Hope to return to Roman Holiday Resort in the future.

This place is solid; clean and maintained. The staff is friendly, the pool is great, parking was easy... And you're across the street from the beach. There were plenty of families and you're an easy walk from the boardwalk. We went for 3 nights with two adults and two kids. We were very comfortable and would go again.

Super close and convenient to the beach. Staff in the office was beyond friendly and made me smile during both check in and check out. Our room (410) wasn't great. You can tell they remodeled the kitchen/dining/living area and the sink area in one bedroom but everything else was outdated. The king bed was terrible. My husband sunk into the right side and ended up having to sleep in one of the other beds. I was creeped out by the small toilet/shower and dingy light in the king bedroom. Pool was good but not refreshing. It was actually a little warm. All in all, it was an okay visit but we'd likely not return.

My family and I have a family tradition to go here every summer since my dad was a kid. We all love how the beach and the board walk are right next to it giving us a chance to go there a lot. The pool is very big and cool water. The people there are very nice and I would love for lots of other people to go to! SEE YOU IN AUGUST RHR

To say staying at the Roman holiday is like staying with family is an understatement. Not only were the people staying in the hotel so nice but the Staff was superior and honestly amazing. My daughter lost her wallet in the hotel room and Nicolas who was cleaning our room found it and returned it to management. They proved that there are still wonderful people in this world. Management reached out to me and I was able to send them a shipping label and Alyssa so kindly boxed my daughter’s wallet and took it to a shipping location for me. They really go above and beyond .
