We had checked out the reviews here before going and it turned out to be nicer than expected. Since it is the shoulder season, it wasn't very crowded (the way we like it), the staff was helpful with directions to a local restaurant (even printing them off for us), the room had nice decor, was clean, and even though it... more

Yes, the "shoulder season" is quite possibly the most beautiful time to visit not just the Blue Water Resort, but all of Cape Cod. The water is warm, the breezes are gentle and crowds are gone. As you point out, the Blue Water is centrally located for easy access to so many of Cape Cod's attractions (whale and bird watching,...

This is the 4th year that we have stayed at Blue Water. We booked a room in the Garden area, which always looks amazing, and sets you right into vacation mode. We had 2 double beds and the room was always spotless. You really have a terrific cleaning team. This is the best location on the cape. We counted around... more

Thank you for such a glowing review. As you point out, the "Patio" area at the Blue Water is a very beautiful location with great landscaping and easy access to the outdoor pool and ocean. The entire Blue Water staff works very hard to keep this location so pristine and your review is testimony to that. The Blue Water's location...

No, I'm not exaggerating. We drove over to the Blue Water for their evening fire on the beach with marshmallow roasting for the kids. Besides starting about 40 minutes late, I noticed the "firewood" the staff member was using was scrap lumber from an old fence which was clearly painted and treated. This was the fire they wanted our children... more

The Blue Water Resort would like to thank you for your recent review. Our Sunday evening beach fires have been a successful part of our Summer activity schedule for many years. It is now, and has always been, our policy to provide safe events which promote family fun and participation. On that particular evening, management was aware of the expressed...

I was very impressed with the service at the Blue Water. We have a child with special needed and despite the fact we inadvertently arrived early, the staff was very accommodating to us and worked extra hard so that we could get into the room a full hour and a half before check-in so that our vacation could begin on... more

The room was old and dirty and the beach was so so. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and the bed sheets were not clean. Best Western should renovate this place as soon as possible. more

Thank you......but we are equally disappointed - with your review. We can only hope you voiced your concerns to the staff on duty, who would have done their utmost to make your stay a comfortable one. As far as the beach is concerned, it's one of the finest natural sandy beaches on the South side of the Cape. It's cleaned...

We stayed at The Blue Water in August with our dog. What a great place to stay on Cape Cod! It's centrally located-Mid-Cape- with extremely clean rooms, well-run, beautiful beach, delicious breakfasts, great pool area and Cabana Bar with excellent Frozen Cocktails! We couldn't ask for more-everyone we encountered that worked here were helpful and generous. Our dog was welcomed... more

There is nothing really BAD about this place, but there is nothing really special either, except, of course, the beach, which is nice. The Blue Water says that it is "Pet Friendly, " but I would call it "Pet Tolerant, " meaning they don't really WANT dogs there, but it makes extra money, because they do charge $25 per night,... more

The Blue Water Resort is indeed a Pet Friendly and Guest Friendly resort. We balance our approach so that both pet lovers and guests without pets can enjoy their experience at the Blue Water Resort without unpleasant conflicts. Our $25 pet fee is in place to defray the cost of extra maintenance that is required both during and after a...

ok. It is very expensive but the beach is fantastic ,especially if you stay in an ocean front room . the activities are great, my kids made kites and flew them on the beach..so did my husband. The daycare gals were terrific and all we had to pay for was their lunches. There are many pools to play in because... more

We had stayed at another hotel for several years during this time period (right after Labor Day), but decided to make the move to Blue Water. We had stayed briefly in May and when we saw what a nice place it was, we cancelled the reservations we had at that other place and made reservations here for September, after Labor... more

This hotel lived up to some of the bad reviews. Very rude desk staff. The carpet was damp and sticky. The room had old furniture, scratched, etc. The bath had mold on the floor and walls of shower. Towels were frayed. The beach chairs were old. This was my first time on Cape Cod. Next time I'll stay elsewhere .... more
