Location for getting around the Cape was excellent and being right on the water a real plus. Was not pleased with the suite we had -- not for $275 a night for our first two nights. It had very outdated furnishings -- 1990s bedspreads and drapes, and furniture that was old and uncomfortable if you just wanted to hang out... More

Thank you for your recent stay and your review. The resort is constantly being updated to keep it up to our standards. We have future plans to potentially rebuild these buildings completely. The location is tremendous and offering a private beach and pristine grounds have always been a priority for our company and we will continue this tradition. The challenge... More

We rented two, two bedroom suites the weekend after Labor Day and it was one thing after another from the start. After checking in, we couldn't enter one of the suites as it was locked from the inside with a "privacy please" sign in the key slot. It took twenty minutes to get someone to open the room. We then... More

The Blue Water Resort in South Yarmouth is by far the best place we've stayed at on Cape Cod! The room was very clean. The location was perfect. The staff was very friendly and accomadating. The only thing that I would love is if the beds would be queen size instead of doubles. I was travelling with my husband and... More

We stayed for a couple weeks here because of the location and their pet friendly policy. Had a fantastic time. The beach being right there made it perfect for morning walks and the pool was perfect for relaxing. All of our encounters with staff were great, everyone was very helpful. The rooms were a little outdated but very clean and... More

Don't stay here if you are not a smoker. We booked here because it was advertised as a smoke free resort. True, you can't smoke in the rooms but you can smoke just about everywhere else. We could not sit on our balcony or even open our windows because the people above and next to us were smoking up a... More

I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. It was clean, location was perfect, and the beach was beautiful. The weather didn't cooperate, however, but I would definitely return. We had a king-size bed with living space and 2 TVs. Decor was lovely, bed comfortable, and grounds very well kept. The beach has chairs and umbrellas for use. Since our stay... More

Paid $450 per night for a family room which was supposed to accomodate 4 adults and an 11 year old child. Received a room with two singles beds, a cot and a pull down "double" about the size of a single. Worst sleep I've had in years. We arrived after a long trip from the UK at 6pm at night... More

We decided to pay big bucks and stay at a 'premier' resort. Boy were we disappointed. We tried checking in at 3:50 p.m. and were told check-in time is 4:00 p.m. I believe the room was ready, but I think they just wanted to make a point that we had to wait until 4:00 p.m. We reserved an ocean view...
