Having only decided on the last minute to book this place for our 2 nights on Cape Cod, we were just hopeful that the other good reviews on Trip Advisor were correct. We need not have worried. It's in a very good location, easy to find and half way up the Cape so you're never too far away from anywhere you feel like visiting. It has it's own stretch of private beach too and although we arrived out of season (so the outside pools where necessarily closed) the price we paid was very reasonable. I'd like to have stayed a little earlier in the year, maybe in September, but nonetheless we were happy with our choice. The condominium we stayed in was very nice indeed, full of modern conveniences and very clean. We also found the staff to be very nice and helpful.

We booked our stay on Expedia. It was called "run of the house" and it was very reasonable. Due to the reasonable price we were a little worried about what we would get. We kept bracing ourselves for a "dive hotel" But...much to our surprise when we checked in we found a wonderful villa in Arbor Village. It was well into the developement, on a golf course. We had a one bedroom condo with laundry, kitchen, etc. They provided laundry soap and dish soap. We loved the location, very central to the entire cape. We went down to Provincetown one day, to Nantucket one day and explored the rest of the cape while there. The Wellfleet Oyster festival was happening while we were there so we went there too. We ate breakfast in our room each morning...we usually like a light breakfast of yogurt and fruit, maybe some cereal. So this was convenient for us. We did not cook larger meals but ate out at the Fish House and Chillingsworth both were top notch but maybe a little pricey. We thought it was worth the money though. Maybe not great if you have kids. None of the places we ate had kids menues and they would probably be too limited for most children. They had starbucks coffee in the room which we liked. We found the staff to be excellent. They checked us in early and had suggestions for things to do. We had a rental car, so used it to get around. They did tell us that we could use the shuttle which would be around in about 5 minutes. Our room was secluded and quiet. We slept great. We would definately stay here again. For us...it was great.

Our first stay 3 years ago was perfect....our weekend on 10/8 and 10/9 was a disaster..
.I had requested a handicapped room.
Registration has no accommodation for the handicapped....no ramp and terrible stairs and cobblestones.
Our room had stairs in front of the building, but no railings.
the handicapped parking place was 5 places away with a long steep walkway to our room....walking up hill was difficult, but if you were wheel chair bound it would have been very taxing.
The villa was adequate only....the bed was too high and the space between the bed and dresser was very narrow...the hot water heater was in the closet, but no luggage racks..
..the bathroom was OK, but only one bar of soap..
.the kitchen had no microwave oven, and no oven, and not enought flatware for 4.
The living room had a couch and only l chair and a very tall table with stools....not appropriate for anyone who is handicapped.
the chair at the desk was very uncomfortable. The hotel charges over $25.00 a night for taxes and services....We received no services except houskeeping which is standard.
We ate at the Lynx and the food and service was very good.
We were very disappointed overall as 3 years ago breakfast was included and the villa more accommodating and comfortable..

We stayed here for 4 nights and were very pleasantly surpised by the Resort.
Yes, it is large and sprawling but that is what a resort is. We stayed at the arbor Village; downside - a drive from the beach, upside - very close to the best pool on the site which suited the children.
Our spacious 1 bed apartment was on the ground floor and very smart. It was blissful walking out of the french windows on to the well kept grounds. We used the sofa bed which was fine.
The only problem with four in the room was the equipment. It did not cater for 4 and there was insufficient everything; chairs, glasses, plates,etc. At supper we had to bring the patio furniture inside for the children to eat at the coffee table!
The room service we could not fault. In fact they were a little too efficient and kept putting away the sofa bed which we had to remake when we got back. They loaded the dishwasher and replaced the washing powder. The beach/ pool service was great too, offering chairs, foot rests, towells & umberellas
The real godsend for our touring holiday was the laundry facilities which were wonderful. A small cupboard in the Sitting Room contained a top loader washing machine and a small tumble dryer. Coupled with the excellent beach/pool towell service this made this mother's life much more like a holiday.
We did not mind the reliance on the car to get around at all. We discovered Chatham (easy journey), the Brewster bike hire (much, much cheaper than the resorts!) and the local food and fish markets so I chose to cook (but see above for gripe about equipment).
For families there seemed to be an endless supply of activities which we would have loved to have the time to join in had we been spending longer here. The beach campfire with s'mores (is that how you spell it?) was a great taste of US for some bewildered Brits.
A number of disappointments were:
- Reception staff behind a high and forbidding desk who acted very superior. A stark contrast with the bell 'boys' who were very well mannered, groomed and spoken.
- Very expensive restaurants although the food was very good especially the breakfasts. We ate out or self catered after the first shocking bill.
- Brouchure not up to date. My 12 year old son was extremely disappointed to find the Junior Golf School not running.. when we turned up on the allotted morning.
- Petrol golf buggies. These are noisy, smelly and certainly not envionmentally friendly, especailly when there a lot of them, which there tend to be on a golf resort.
and finally...
- the damp. Our apartment had a dehumidifier and an air conditioning unit which I found a strange combination. It smelt damp and most things in it were ever so slighly damp too. But I put it down to location and did not notice too much after the first 5 minutes.

After all that, would we return? Absolutely, yes.
