Papa John's Pizza

Restaurant | "Great Pizza, Fast Delivery"

Quote:
Saturday night we were back in our hotel room and feeling hungry and didn't want to go out so we called Papa John's for pizza delivery. The pizza was delicious, we've never ate Papa John's before and they had some chocolate puff pastry desserts and they were the best! I was so glad we ordered two orders of them. They had our food to our door hot and fresh in about 20 minutes.

We past quite a few of these diner/drive in places in Ocean City and they were all always packed. We left our hotel one night for a game of mini golf and afterward we stopped in for a ice cream treat. I was a bit surprised at the prices, kind of on the pricey side, but Oh my gosh, after that first bite of my ice cream it was worth every penny I paid. I have never had such great tasting ice cream..ever. The decor is awesome too, it reminds you of walking into a 1950's diner with the old fashioned tin ceiling tiles and the high back booths. Absolutely a must visit for a treat.

We found a brochure about Assateague Island in our hotel lobby and asked the staff if it was worth going, they all gave the place a great recommendation and advised us that our trip would be will worth it. We got into the car and drove out to the Island all the while the kids were beaming with excitement as we drove across yet another huge bridge in hopes to see some of the wild ponies that roam on the island. It wasn't one of the best days as it was sprinkling off and on and it was very windy but I sure hoped we seen something. We got to the pay booth and paid our $15 entrance fee, which gave us access to the Island for 7 days day or night. We drove around the area up and down all the little roa...Read More

This hotel looks like any other hotel on the outside as you drive along the highway and pull into the parking lot. There is a playground and pool out front. The lobby is small and cozy and there is a big bowl of fresh fruit available for the guests. As you walk through the short hallway you come to a set of glass doors that open and you enter and exotic paradise. You would think you have enter a jungle, trees and plants, bridges that take you over ponds of koi, an array of parrots squawking it can be described as nothing less that amazing. After you catch your breath you notice the tiki bar to your left as well as another small play area for kids and off to your right is the fenced in indoor pool...Read More
