Top John Waples Memorial Playground Hotel Reviews

Henlopen Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this property. We stay there each year we go to the shore."

Atlantic Sands Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"From check-in to check-out, the staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help — nothing felt like a scripted transaction. The room was spotless, comfortably furnished, and had a great view that made mornings feel special. The location is unbeatable — close to everything worth seeing, yet quiet enough to actually relax. Amenities were a highlight: the pool area was immaculate, the restaurant on-site served some of the best meals I've had at a hotel, and the little touches (fresh towels, quick housekeeping, thoughtful concierge tips) made the whole stay feel effortless. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, this place delivers real value without cutting corners. I'd book again without hesitation and recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free, memorable stay. Five stars, easily."

"This hotel has a very personal touch. It's small (probably around 36 rooms), and the staff starts to recognize guests quickly. We loved it for the extra touches: terrific breakfast, happy hour snacks and draft beers, nighttime cookies, beach chairs and towels for the beach. The room was attractive and comfortable .The root sundeck is amazing! We would definitely return."

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful bayfront property with beautiful water and sunset views, convenient location walkable to the beach, restaurants & shopping. We loved just hanging out on the private beach (residents only) on the bay and launching our paddle boards from there. Kitchen was very well stocked, beds were comfortable, and the host is very responsive & communicative. Our group of 3 couples had plenty of room in the property, especially with 3 bathrooms, and we had a fabulous 3-day weekend together. Highly recommend this property!"
