Like a Hotel, the Rooms are accessed via inter-connecting corridors, within the building and are serviced by two elevators located at convenient locations. The north, south and oceanfront rooms are seperated by partitions creating individual balconies.

Besides the usual Pool and Sundeck, The Adventurer offers such amentities as an Oceanfront Resturant, Laundromat, Cardio Room, Tanning Room, and a Day Room with a Small Arcade. Off street and underground parking are provided. The building spans a block on Ocean Ave from the Wildwood Crest side of Cresse Ave to Morning Glory Rd.

Heralded today as the Wildwoods' quintessential "Doo Wop" icon, the Caribbean was designed and built by the legendary Lou Morey in 1958.

Built in 1958, the Caribbean is a flat-roofed, two-story, J-shaped motel with no visible means of support for the continuous balconies. The south wing contains 10 bays facing north. The east bay contains one bay with the office on the first floor and a game room on the second floor. The glass walls of the game room angle in to the center and out to the roofline. The roofline of the game room extends north as a wood lattice over the sundeck underneath. The second floor of the east wing is wider than the first, creating a carport supported by slender poles on the first floor. An unsupported, curved concrete ramp connects the first floor to the sundeck on the second. The west wing contains four bays on each floor, facing east. The U-shaped pool is located in the center of the "J" and is protected from the street by low shrubbery and parking. The motel is clad in light yellow stucco with the edges of the balconies slanted in and out, with staggered lights on each side. A neon sign mounted to the roof of the east wing, facing north, provides signage for the motel.
