Detailed Reviews
I especially wanted to write a review given the comments of a more recent reviewer. This was our first time at the Top Mast. We typically stay at a place in Hyannis but we’re looking for a room with a kitchenette so we could avoid dining inside restaurants.
Our room seemed very clean and the person who checked us in couldn’t have been nicer. The water view was really amazing.
There were a few areas that could have used a bit more attention but nothing too major. Many of the utensils in our kitchenette were broken. These should probably be checked on a more frequent basis. I was surprised that someone came in to remove trash and change towels. Most places aren’t doing that during COVID. The only toiletries we were given was 1 small piece of soap. That was never replaced.
As I said none of these were critical just things that could use a bit more attention.
The most important things were taken care of and we enjoyed our visit.

Thank you for your review!! We are happy that you had an ok stay with us but we are indeed mindful of your concerns as well. With all protocols met, daily housekeeping is still offered amidst the pandemic. Our guests are given the choice to accept or reject this service, it gives an opportunity for our guests to make specific requests as we can now only provide limited amenities for the rooms. We are in the process of conducting inventories where all broken utensils and other items are being replaced with new ones. We extend our thanks to all our guests for their understanding and patience, especially during this time as we continue to navigate our way through this challenging season.

We had rented a house in Wellfleet for the Oyster fest, but unfortunately the festival was canceled. Our group all backed out and we decided to cancel our rental as well.
A few week ago my wife and I felt like we needed our Cape Cod fix and looked for rooms. Many of the B&B’s we had stayed at in the past we’re charging ridiculous Covid cleaning fees, the Top Mast did not.
While not fancy the rooms are well equipped and the location and views are great. The restaurant across the street is well run and the food is tasty and prepared with a touch of flair and attention to detail.
Well worth the money and a great value.

Back when I was a kid, my family traveled to Cape Cod, from Michigan, every year for about 10 years. We stayed in cottages in Orleans during that period. I returned once about 32 years ago, and found that area to be very crowded, and after years of taking my own family to Cape Hatteras, I felt that I would not visit Cape Cod again. However, my daughter visited Cape Cod last fall and stayed here at Top Mast. Her words to me..."Mom, you would love it there!" She knows, after all of the years in Hatteras, what I love - lots of open beach, small resort with a cute little village area and a view of the water. I took her at her word and booked 5 days at Top Mast. We opted for the week before Memorial Day. Prices were still off-season, but tourist season is just beginning to ramp up. The people at Top Mast were very quick, and so friendly with their responses to my emails and questions and helped us make the best choice for our stay.
We arrived and were greeted by a very friendly young woman at the counter who promptly took care of our check in.
As we opened the door to our room, we were thrilled by the view out the door wall...Cape Cod Bay in all its glory.
The room was immaculate. 2 Queens, efficiency set up (kitchen area was perfect!) Counter space, fridge, sink, stove top. Bathroom was very clean and chock full of towels and washcloths as well as soaps and signs that anything you may have forgotten could be supplied.
The balcony provided two chairs with table in between (all attached) and a view that was heavenly.
The staff was friendly and helpful. We were there for 5 days, and it really was a fabulous time. The adjacent restaurant was terrific. And Top Mast is a perfect base to visit anywhere in Cape Cod. There is a view of Provincetown from the beach and the Bay provides a calm and restful water retreat. The beach is fabulous. One of the guests told me that Top Mast has been there for at least 30 years! It does not feel like it has been there that long. Everything feels clean and new.
Driving distance to the ocean side beaches is 10 minutes at most. Walking the beach on the bay side is great - I recommend it highly. Mind, we were there just before Memorial Day, so things were still pretty quiet. I loved that about it. But, if you like more action than that, it began to kick in over that Memorial Day weekend. Personally, I enjoyed the before the craziness time there at Top Mast and, we will definitely return!

Hi Dorrie, Thank you so much for the very detailed review! It truly does help us to hear so much from our guests as that is what we base all of our decisions on. Sorry for the delayed response but after that "quiet" early part of the season when you were here it has been very busy ever since. You will be very surprised when I tell you that this is my families 51st year running Top Mast. My parents started it in 1971, and now my sister and I run it along with them every season! We are constantly renovating and upgrading based on our customers feedback such as yours. I know it's a long drive from Michigan, but I truly hope that you make it back for another stay at the Top Mast Resort! Jason Silva Owner

We just returned from a two night stay at Top Mast. We were celebrating a milestone birthday for a grandparent and 3 generations of us went ranging from ages 5 to 70. We got four rooms all next to each other on the upper level, ocean front. I will say that the rooms are nothing special. I think because of Covid they didn't even have bedspreads on the beds, just older looking blankets, so when we entered you definitely realize right away this isn't a fancy hotel. Also, our rooms had a kitchen but it was just a stovetop, no oven. It did have fridge, microwave, sink, coffee pot, utensils, glasses, plates, etc. And, it was very clean, although worn looking. But we didn't care as we were not there to hang out in the rooms, and luckily we had beautiful fall weather and therefore were outside a lot. Each room has a nice size balcony with chairs and the beach was just right there! There were basketball courts, tennis, a huge deck outside the indoor pool with lots of chairs, tables, a gas firepit. The indoor pool was a really good size, modern, clean. The cafe was cute, large outdoor seating area, very friendly staff. All we got there were drinks, coffees, and breakfast sandwiches, but they were great. This is a great place to go with a group, our kids were old enough they could go out on the beach and play ball or over to the large grassy area by the pool, or to play basketball. We could be out on our balconies and socialize with our next door family members, it worked out great because there was so much to do outside, which was perfect as we wanted to avoid being indoors mixing our kids with grandparents (given Covid). Ptown was less than 10 minutes down the road, a beautiful scenic drive. There were little markets, bakeries, liquor stores all nearby. We slept with our slider open to hear the waves crashing all night! We hopefully will return again.

My husband and I have been going to the Top Mast Resort every summer over the last 15 years... it is always a fantastic vacation. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and the beach access is just a few steps from our door. They hold up to their name as a resort because the saltwater pool is beautiful, tennis courts, patio and fire pit all offer a lot of options without having to go far. We have stayed in various motel rooms and one of the beach houses and the accommodations are always consistently maintained and well kept. Plus the Top Mast Cafe offers a breakfast, lunch and dinner with plenty of variety.

Our family has been going to the Top Mast for 14 years. There are many reasons why we always go back. The proximity to the beach cannot be topped. You are literally feet from the beach when you sleep at night. All of the staff is amazing, helpful, and so friendly. The rooms are not super fancy but very clean, user friendly, and have every thing you need. The balconies off each room provide a great additional space to enjoy the beach and sunset. Tons of space on private beach for distancing this summer. We were a little nervous about vacationing this summer but were so relieved when we found how serious the resort and guests were taking COVID. We were also relieved that PTown was so strict with masks. The pool was allowed to reopen under Phase three of Mass. reopening which was an added bonus we did not expect on our trip. We are actually staying at Top May for another stay in August - with the uncertainty of this summer we felt we should rely on what we trust.

This has been our 5th year staying at The Top Mast Resort and there’s a reason we keep coming back. Truro is a wonderful place to visit on Cape Cod and Top Mast is a true gem. The rooms are clean, well appointed and has everything a family would need. The resort is directly on the beach and the staff are extremely friendly and responsive. The on site cafe offers a great selection for breakfast and dinner. The lobster roll was one of the biggest and best I’ve had yet. We left a few items behind In the room and the cleaning ladies handed them into the front desk which in turn mailed the items to our home at their expense. We have never once thought about staying anywhere else on Cape Cod. Do yourself a favor and don’t look at other hotels, Top Mast has everything you need.

We have stayed at Top Mast for many years. We return every year because it is consistently a wonderful experience there. It is located right on the bay with a deck off the room; at night, we open the slider, and fall asleep to the beautiful sounds of the ocean. Our room is always clean. The beaches are beautiful and clean.
We love that each room has a little kitchenette. We can eat breakfast and lunch in our room, and spend our money on a delicious dinner at one of the many restaurants in the area.
Most of the time we have had great weather, but on the occasional rainy day, there is an indoor pool and hot tub.
Top Mast is family run, and is very accommodating, I recently left a personal item in our room upon check-out. They quickly mailed the item back to me, with no hassle.
I would highly recommend Top Mast for a consistent positive experience.

This is a basic no frills resort motel, but the wonderful helpful staff bend over backwards to make sure you are comfortable and enjoy your sta.y I did!. Fell in love with Top Mast. My beachfront motel room was on the 2nd floor with a balcony and fantastic view of the bay. Appreciated the refrigerator, microwave, and even a toaster!! My room was impeccably clean. Good Wi-Fi, and bed was super comfortable. I was there off season but the weekend seemed to be almost full and I never heard noise from the room next-door. The sea is literally at your back door. Loved sitting on the balcony in the morning and evenings. A slice of paradise. I can still smell the salt air. Highly recommend!! Thank you to everyone at Top Mast for a fabulous vacation!

Where should I even begin...1) immediately walking into our room the appliances were all visibly filthy, the fridge had brown rust running down the side, the microwave was covered in a thick layer of grease and overall the room smelt of mildew 2) the staff especially the pool workers are some of the most unpleasant people I have EVER dealt with. There was an incident in which we had friends coming to use the pool during our stay and their policy is every non hotel guest has to pay a $10 entry fee unless under the age of 15. Our friends daughter was 14 at the time and the workers publicly humiliated and body shamed her stating she was "too big" to be 14 and some other truly horrific things. not to mention, the people staying in the room adjacent to us had people sleeping on air mattresses on our shared balconyWould not recommend to anyone interred in staying in Truro /Provencetown.

We are disappointed that you were not completely happy with your stay here with us. If there were any housekeeping issues upon your arrival we wish you had brought them to our attention immediately so we could have taken care of them or found another room for you. Although we rarely, if ever, have housekeeping issues, we understand that things can happen and we are always prepared to go above and beyond to solve any problems that may arise for our guests. As far as the interaction at the pool, our attendant had notified us immediately that there was some confusion and the resort manager went up to the pool and spoke with you directly about it, and there was never any mention about anyone's body. You were trying to register 6 people to the pool as guests of your room and you had only paid for 3 people to stay in your room which means that only 3 people are entitled to use the pool facilities. However, we do allow our guests to bring in their own guests to the indoor pool facility, but there is a $10 fee for adults, a $5 fee for children ages 2-12, and no fee for anyone under 2 years old, and after thoroughly explaining this to you, you paid the $30 for your additional 3 people and proceeded to use the hot tub and complex and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. All of our beachfront rooms have private balconies, the dividers between each room are just under 4 feet tall, so although there is not a full wall divider, as that would block everyone's views of the beach, bay, sunsets and Provincetown skyline, we do have these half wall dividers and everyone's balcony or deck space is their own. As far as another guest having an air mattress on the deck, while this is not a common practice and we do not allow the rooms to be over occupancy limits, there is a chance that a guest would choose to do this, to read a book, to look up at the stars at night, listen to the waves, etc. and if anything, it was most likely a raft that you would use during the day in the water and that they put on their deck at night. We are sorry that you did not find our resort a good fit for your vacation and we will always continue to work on any issues to ensure all of our guests have a wonderful stay with us. Warm Regards,
