I've been going to Nantucket for over 20 years. First to work during the summers, then to visit friends (who are locals who grew up on the island) for vacations. This trip, we decided to splurge and stay at The Wauwinet off-season. I'd been there for sunset and drinks but always wondered what it was like to stay at the... more

We took advantage of special September rates and had a wonderful holiday for the money. I would say that service and location were the strong points of the hotel. A lot was also included which made the price a good value- free bottled water, free dvds and popcorn, free full breakfasts, free transfers to ferry a town, free boat trip,... more

If this is the best Nantucket has to offer I would hate to see the others. Upon arrival we were shocked at the size of our room (supposed to be one of their best). The king-size bed took up most of the room but did have luxurious bedding. The room had a damp, clammy feeling to it and no adjustment... more

We have all heard Nantucket is expensive, but...... For $800 a night, we got a tiny room, basically, a bed, and enough room to walk around it. Even the TV was wall mounted as there was no room to put it. No bath, and no fridge. The hotel has the 'famous' Toppers restaurant, and as hotel guests we always felt... more

The Wauwinet has the best location on Nantucket. To your right you can touch a widesweep of the Atlantic and in front of you are the calm waters of Nantucket Bay. It is a perfect spot and a somewhat magical place. (it was also late May and there were not many people around) We went on the jeep trip to... more

My husband and I just returned from a long weekend at the Wauwinet to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I can't say enough about the superb service and memorable weekend we experienced. In season, this is an extremely pricey property but there is no question that you get what you pay for. Concierge level accommodations at many four star properties (including... more

My 7 month pregnant wife needed a break and we found one at the Wauwinet. We were very happy here. Everyone on staff was as nice as could be and seemed to know what we were up to and was interested in making sure we were happy. We also didn't get the sense that people were tip hungry which was... more

FABULOUS!!!!! Saw the Wauwinet on the travel channel. Stayed 3 nights & did not want to leave. The staff is wonderful. So many things are complimentary including the gourmet breakfast in Toppers Restaurant. Go in spring or fall for a great discounted rate. We travel alot & have stayed at great hotels. This is the first time we planned a... more

From the outset I must say that I am partial to Wauwinet if for no other reason than its location and solitude... but there are so many other reasons to LOVE Wauwinet. First off, the staff really does take the time and make the effort to make you feel truely "At Home". Each time I visit I get the feeling... more
