Detailed Reviews
We came here for a girls weekend and we were blown away with our room and the private beach access! They provide chairs and umbrellas that they will set up for you. We loved being able to get served bar drinks on the beach. Room was very clean and we had a spacious balcony. Our balcony was directly in front of the pool. At night we could sit out there with our food and drinks and listen to the music. We were in first floor and I’d recommend asking for a 2nd floor room if you want more privacy on your balcony and a better view of the ocean.
A couple of complaints:
1. Friday night I went to front desk and made a reservation for a fire pit at 8:30 on Saturday (they have 3).. we rushed back from Provincetown to have some drinks by the fire and when we got there they said they didn’t have our reservation on file and they were all taken. We ended up just bringing drinks back to our room
2. Restaurant - currently serving poolside as they’re building a new building with rooftop restaurant. It was very slow service, although waitresses were all very kind. I ordered an omelet one morning and they gave me a completely different one than I ordered with all the wrong fillings. My friends were done eating by the time I got mine corrected.
3. The bill was confusing and I didn’t notice until I got home that they charged me twice for one of our breakfast bills.

Restaurant is over booked and even with reservation had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Typical on Cape this year so either prepare to be patient or go elsewhere. Drinks and wine pours are on the small size and expensive but probably typical for a Cape resort. I will wait until September to return

We stayed at the Pelham House last year for 3 nights in an oceanfront room and it was fabulous. When we return this week we noticed a big difference. They seem to be focusing on service for their weekend weddings and turn the rooms over very quickly without thoroughly cleaning or making necessary repairs. A bathroom door that didn’t close last year still does not close, the chairs at the picture window smelled very bad when sitting on them, the window had a broken arm and latch. It flew open during the night and could not be closed. The coffee maker leaked. One day we didn’t get our room serviced until 4:30 after being told it would be between
9-3. The next day after several calls someone came at 5:00. At night we woken up around 2AM by the noise on the hotel beach there were young adults not staying at the hotel partying and jumping over the fire. There is no management on property overnight to monitor their facility. It’s too bad we were really looking forward to our stay.

After a visit to the rooftop restaurant last year we decided to move our typical family vacation reservations to this hotel for summer 2021 as it seemed relaxed and beautiful. After reserving, my husband and I decided to book an overnight in January to celebrate both of our birthdays. We booked an oceanfront suite. When we arrived on Cape we did some shopping and then had dinner at the hotel. We called reception to let them know we'd be checking in after eating. Upon check-in we were told that our room was accidentally given to another couple. When realizing their mistake they made no offer to correct the situation. We were offered the last available room with no view. The room, in January, was 58 degrees and sparce. We were so unhappy with the room that we decided to drive back 2 1/2 hours home instead of staying the night. The hotel did ensure this wouldn't happen again and offered to discount our June stay. This is where it became a no for us. I began heavily following the Pelham social media. The hotel is constant entertainment and partying with zero attention to the hotel. As hotel guests, the one pool is under a microscope of diners and music for much of the day. There one visual of a hotel room on social media reflected two drunk women dancing in the room, one of which was barefoot on the nightstand. On a recent trip to the Cape we decided to swing by and check out the rooftop again and see if my anxiety about staying on property was warranted. The restaurant was packed and service took 21 minutes for our waters....not even bar drinks. I decided to go to reception and see where our room would be and advised my hesitance to stay since it was a family getaway. I was told 'you're still within the 14 day cancellation window'. There was no comment indicating they would accommodate a family or even wanted our business. Luckily, our mainstay hotel was able to get us in for our trip and we were able to cancel with Pelham. I will say this resort thrives as an adult entertainment venue or wedding venue, but it is NOT a hotel and it NOT family friendly in the least bit.

I really wanted to like this hotel. It looks great on the website but I’m sorry to say it was a disappointment. We were warned about the construction when we booked but nobody warned us about the music that happens every night until 10-11 pm in the center of the hotel and blares into every room. The music is incredibly loud and the room does not filter it out.
There is both live music and DJ music. The live music was really bad and really loud. Imagine a bad dive bar with 60-year old, red-nosed dudes trying to live out their high school proms. This is what makes up the pool bar that is in the center of the hotel. Every. Night.
I don’t mind heading into a hotel bar sometimes but I don’t want to hear it every night. I want my hotel room to be an oasis from the outside. If you have young children this is not the hotel for you. If you want to relax this is not the hotel for you.
There is some good potential to this hotel. The renovated rooms are beautiful. The pool area is compact but nice, and the private beach is a great place to unwind. If the Pelham decides to become a hotel this will be a nice place on the Cape. Currently, it’s just a loud night club with rooms attached to it. We will unfortunately not be coming back.

Ok so to begin with, my understanding of the word “resort” seems to be a lot different from what this place is. They do not serve breakfast or lunch so be prepared to figure out that on your own. The front desk is manned by teenagers, well meaning but not knowledgeable at all. For the amount of money we are paying for this place the class of service is subpar. We ordered a espresso martini to our room and it came in a coffee cup. We were sitting in our room at about 9pm and the whole resort lost power! Very disturbing! The only saving grace was Kristen at the rooftop grill that helped us every step of the way! By the way a $1.50 (at most) bottoms of water will cost you $5 if you ask it for it from the front desk. Literally bare minimum service for a resort price. Not worth it.

My daughter and my granddaughter stayed at the Pelham House July 4 through july 8. Very disappointing. Not worth $800,00 plus dollars per night. The 3 of us stayed last year and it was wonderful! This year no pool side dining after 7, lobby bar shuts down at 7. On july 4Th after dropping $200.00 at waves (only sushi and under cooked flatbread) at Waves no offerings of salads, sandwiches, hamburgers 12 year olds dont like sushi). Hoping to take a drink and head back to the pool for swimming for the 4th, we were told poolside entertainment stopped at 6:30, and the lobby bar was closing. The bartender would not give me a drink and told me if I wanted 1 to go back to the rooftop bar. Both beaches to the right and the left of the Pelham had fireworks and there was no one poolside to watch. Also the hotel is not open 24 hours / day as advertised. A guest had gotten locked out of their room the following night around 1 am and there is no one on staff until the lobby opens at 8 am. My daughter and I wanted coffee around 7:30 am the place is locked up! Now that the Pelham shuttles in people from their sister properties if you stay there get up at 7 to run down and put your thing on a pool chair to ensure you have a place. Please do not drop thousands of dollars at this hotel! You will feel ripped off and very disappointed. This is the first bad review I have ever written I hope some family and make plans to stay elsewhere. It is nothing like the Pelham House of last year.

This hotel underwent a huge renovation and it shows. The pool area is gorgeous, the food menu while a little small is consistently well-executed (not too heavy, excellent flavors and thoughtfully done), and the drinks are superb and very balanced. The service was attentive and they are doing an excellent job maintaining a safe environment due to coronavirus, and instilled a lot of confidence in us. Highly recommend coming here!

I made a reservation to dine here this coming weekend to celebrate Father's Day. I used Open Table to book the reservation. Today, I received a call that they are cancelling my reservation because of a "system glitch" of overbooking reservations. They tried to offer me a 3 pm time slot for dinner on a Saturday. Of course, that's unacceptable. Anyone familiar with the Open Table platform knows that the system only allows as many reservations as the restaurant allots per time slot. Clearly their explanation doesn't ring true. You'd think with the restaurant industry just reopening and this being a launch of their poolside dining, they would do better than this for their patrons. Luckily, their are many more dining options on the Cape.

Response from Heather Murphy, Revenue Management at Pelham House Resort
Responded Jul 6, 2020
Thank you for your review and my apologies for a delay in response. Our restaurant opened on June 12th for the season, while at the same time we began our partnership with OpenTable. Our first week was met with a few challenges as we navigated new processes. We have since made adjustments to ensure that we can accurately make reservations for ocean front poolside dining at the Pelham. The menu, location and service are incredible and we hope to earn the chance to have you dine with us in the future. Best, Heather Asst. General Manager

I don’t see a page for the rooftop restaurant, so I’m putting this review here—we will stay at Pelham next time just for the restaurant. It’s absolutely gorgeous, from the interior to the views outside. There is a clear attention to detail at every turn: The bar shelves aren’t just crammed full of bottles, they are nicely arranged and liquor is spaced out; the cocktails have flower petals; even the denim napkins are unique; and the check came in a wooden holder that had the logo etched into it. I always notice and appreciate when a restaurant inserts branding and fun details into different part of your dining experience. Then, the food—it’s hard to make cauliflower delicious, but they absolutely did with one of the apps, and wow did we clean that plate (and the portion was a very good size). We had the steak and pork chop entrees, and they each had so many elements to them with side veggies but also purées and sauces. The staff anticipates your needs even before you ask and are very attentive. We went one night just for cocktails at the bar, and then another night for a full dinner, and I’m so glad we got a chance to enjoy Pelham multiple times. Cheers to this team!

For sure, but call ahead to be certain!
We love the earl spring…..LOTS of dining choices with waaay less people around…….plenty of shops open, not so many of the tourist traps……relaxed pace precedes the hectic summer vibe!
Hi - I did not think it was kid friendly and wont go back. Please read my review from this past summer for more info.
Our menu is located right on our website. If you click on Dining and then click the Pool, you will find the poolside dining menu right on that page.
Thank you!
Best,
Heather
