Fantasea Resort, Atlantic City

Friendly director, nice concierge, nice security guards, but it’s not worth having to wait for 2 hours to have the rooms ready, then get a broken coffee pot and hairdryer, and a dripping faucet! I had a reservation of three rooms for a total of $307 but when I checked out, they charged me $307 for one room. I showed the manager the confirmation paper but she blamed everything on the registration department, hotels.com. She did not call hotel.com to straighten out the problem as I suggested, she said that there was no room at that price and that was her final word. I got out of the hotel, called hotel.com on my cell-phone and received the confirmation that I was correct. I went back inside to confront with the manager. Only this time, she agreed to talk to the registration dpt. and corrected the problem. It cost me 2 hours to check in and 1hour to check out! I’ve never had such an awful experience with hotels or even motels!

I was invited to the place for a preview with the notion to buy their timeshare. They asked for a deposit that I never received because I did not purchase. It was a killer squad approach in which three different salesmen tried to pitch a product that was way overinflated. The room smelled like a cheap motel and maintenance a far cry from good. The advertised floor and rooms were the only ok places I visit. My advise to everyone, dont fall for their antics, do your research first and ask for time to think it over. Not the best timeshare to want to have, I'll be suprised if there are no mice and rats running around the place.

There was a terrible draft coming from the balcony doors. The heating system was not working properly in the room. The beds were really hard in one room and when we complained we were given another room with a bed that was sagging in the middle. I couldn't wait to leave the hotel and go home. The location is way down the boardwalk away from the main casino strip. You have to take the jutney (bus) for $2.00 per trip or hotel shuttle (which only goes to one casino on the boardwalk every one/two hours for a limited time). The only plus was that the hotel staff were extremely pleasant. Some portions of hotel was under renovation.

I was searching around for an affordable place to stay when suddenly i stumbled upon Fantasea......not knowing what to expect, i made the reservation and showed up at the appropriate time.....To my surprise, this place was "not bad at all".....service was OK, view was breath-taking, room was just alright......Would i stay at the Fantasea resort again? I say sure !

Had a studio room, half the lights in the room did not function, the heat/air was a disaster, you have to open a little door and reach half your arm into the wall and if you do that you then have to guess which way to turn the thermostat to adjust temp, I found this totally unacceptable. Oh, and a bonus, call the concierge service, they dont answer the phone. the bathroom fixtures are from the 1950's, no double lock system on the sliders to balcony, and not a chair in the room is comfortable. If none of that bothers you, go ahead and overpay. On the positive side, the lobby is very nice, front desk staff is very helpful, the room was fairly clean, and the kitchenette was nice and all the staff I met had been very pleasent and nice. I really think that they should have the hotel marked better though.

The FantaSea Resort was actually surprisingly pleasant. The room was large and roomy. The overall look and atmosphere was good. The Staff was very nice and quick. The elevators need some "Repair" they were slow and bounced randomly. The shower heads need to be re-sealed with some plumbers silicone to stop the dripping and spritzing of water when you shower. The only real big thing I would change - they need new Blankets, they were stiff and looked extremely old.

My name is Roxanne, the first time I came to this resort I really did not know what to expect because it was recommended to me, but when I finally arrived I could not believe the room. It wasn't just a room with a bed. It was like having your own apartment. The stay was comfortable and the view was excellent. The resort is near everything. The price is afordable. Its clean at all times. I wish I could say more. Overall everytime I think of Atlantic City, I think of this resort. And by the way I did return back and I'm not looking to make it my last time.

The only bad thing that I can say about the hotel is that the wait for the elevator seemed to be very long at times. The room was very nice, the pool small but just big enough. The woman who checked us in was rude but for the most part the staff was very warm and very helpful. They couldn't do enough for us.

Avoid the time share sales pitch. The place has a good location right on the boardwalk. The view is great. The rooms are cheesy and outdated.

The place is a total wreck. The decor is very cheap and uninviting, and the staff is so full of themselves. They are rude and appear to be very unhappy that they are stuck working in this dump of a "hotel". I will never return, and will spread the word to all of my friends....avoid this place at all costs!!!!!!!
