My wife and I had our honeymoon plans derailed due to COVID-19, and we had to quickly shift gears and find a more local (we are from Massachusetts) spot to celebrate our new marriage. We decided to look into staying on Nantucket for a few nights and found The Nantucket Hotel had so many great reviews that we went ahead and booked a two night stay. We booked over the phone and let them know that it was our honeymoon in case they had any special offers - and boy did they ever!
First we were greeted off the ferry with a shuttle ride to the hotel. I believe this is an already offered service but wanted to mention the convenience and how nice our driver was! He congratulated us upon arrival and seemed genuinely happy for us!
Check in was seamless - we arrived pretty early and they held onto our bags while we went into down for brunch. We returned from brunch to an upgraded suite, towel hearts/swans and rose petals decorating the bed, a complimentary bottle of Prosecco, and a hand written note from the manager congratulating us on our new marriage! The setup was truly fantastic and already made us so happy to have chosen this hotel.
For dinner on our second night, the staff set up a private cabana beside the pool with a romantic table-scape outfitted with candles and flowers! It was a beautiful, private, romantic dinner that we didn’t know we had coming! The service was perfect, and the food was outstanding.
The staff really went out of their way to make us feel special during our stay. We cannot express enough how thankful we are to everyone at the Nantucket for making our honeymoon feel like the honeymoon we originally planned.
Aside from all the extra special attention we got (and there was a lot) their typical service was also outstanding. The concierge was very helpful on giving us all of the “to-dos” on the island and if you wanted to do something that’s a bit out of walking distance, a staff member will give you a lift if their schedule allows for it! We got a ride to and from Cisco brewery which was also fantastic.
For COVID concerns - everything was spotless clean and masks were required in all public areas. Everyone followed the rules, and we didn’t have any concerns during our stay.
Overall, our stay at the Nantucket was incredibly special, and we would recommend a stay here to anyone looking to come to the island for any period of time. We did two nights but wished we had done more!! Again, a huge thank you to the staff for such a great stay!
