OMG!!! We had a great time this weekend @ the water club. The staff is wonderful. The rooms are to die for. Don't forget about the pools and spa. If you want to stay in one of the best hotels in A.C. please make it the water club!!!!!!!!! You wil not be disappointed!!!!

I have been a member of Tripadvisor for 6 years and vacation very often. I have never written a bad review about a hotel. I ussually make pretty good choices due to vigorous reseach on the places I stay. This hotel is the worst experience we have ever had. So much so we left after one night and went home. We had two children with us. They staff visibly made us feel like we did not belong. At the pool the staff was rude to my wife and kids. Kids are restricted to one of the indoor pools one of five pools at the hotel. There not allowed in the indoor infinity pool, jacuzzi's or the outside pool. My wife found out these rules from the staff who rudely told her and my daughter to get out of one of the pools. No explaination given just get out. You get the feeling your at a prison with many rules. On top of it we paid $89.00 for the worst room service food we have ever gotten. I dont mind the paying the typical rip off room service prices when the food is good. All in all when your paying $1400.00 a night for a suite you should feel welcome. I over heard many complaints during our short stay. Theres too many alternatives in alantic city to put up with such disrespect. mAlso I sent the manager two emails before our arrival and he never respond . He suggested in our welcome to The water club email to contact him for requests. I can see downfall to this hotel under his poor management they will be forces to change there hitler like atmosphere. Get a clue Water club.

What a disappointment. This so-called boutique hotel has LESS amenities than The Borgotta!! No coffee maker in the room, no refrigerator in the room -- a mini-bar has replaced it, where you can buy a Diet Coke for $3.50. You better get it because there are NO vending machines down the hall. Bring your own Scope, too, and your own Event Magazine and TV Directory, because they aren't in the rooms either. The swimming pools are small and by mid-afternoon, they are completely in the shade. This joint is expensive, pretentious and exorbitant. We await for a Ritz-Carlton to open in Atlantic City. Perhaps the owners/operators of The Water Club need to visit how the Big Boys do it.

I was married on July 24, 2008, and as a surprise to me, my new husband booked a room at the Water Club. The experience was unbelievably memorable -- in the best way possible.

We arrived at the property late (approx. 11 pm). The valet attendants were efficient and EXTREMELY polite -- we didn't have to lift a finger. Even when my husband forgot something in the glovebox, a runner went to the car to get it for him.

The front desk staff was professional and friendly. It was obvious we were newlyweds (he was still in his tux, I in my full wedding get-up), so they upgraded our suite to a Vista. They also gave us a 1 pm checkout (we requested it). Our room was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We had a lovely view of the marina and of Brigantine.

We decided to go downstairs and get some drinks (drinking from the minibar can get a bit pricey) at the Sunroom. Our drinks were comped by a manager who left by the time we left the lounge. We then headed over to the Borgata to parade ourselves around and play some roulette. ALL staff were gracious, and no Borgata employee passed us without offering their congratulations or stopping to talk to us. The casino players, too, got a kick out of the bride and groom romping around the casino floor; we got stares and rounds of applause in equal numbers.

When we returned to our room, we discovered a cart with a bottle of champagne, strawberries, and dipping chocolate, with a card from the front desk offering their well wishes. We thought this a nice touch and quite appropriate for a hotel that touts itself as a five-star.

Although we had things to do the next day and did not get a chance to use the pool, I do know that the Water Club also offers a free shuttle service to Brigantine Beach on the weekends -- and I would MUCH rather sit on the beach all day than sit by the pool!

All in all, our stay at the Water Club was perfect and will make a great memory to add to the collection from our wedding day.
