We've been going to West Dennis beach since 2013 every year in August. We had always wondered what this place was like.
I got excellent pricing during cyber Monday in 2020. We booked our usual week for the Cape. We had no idea what to expect.
Zero stars. So first things first, I am disabled, and except for the dining room entry everything is stairs. So. Many. Stairs.
100 stars. All the staff were helpful and pleasant. I love that not only did the name tags have their names, but like cruise ships, they had their hometowns on them.
The room was a perfect size for two people. We had a king bed, that was sunk in the middle. It took me two nights to realize that, and to sleep with an extra pillow under my hip. I'm healing well now, thank you. It was clean, and appropriately appointed. The only thing was missing was a microwave, and truth be told, I didn't really miss it. They have a door stopper for the bathroom door so it doesn't slam into the sink, my fat ass wasn't able to get past it without pushing it a little further. Every shower you for the shower curtain that was sticking to you. Are they ever give you four bath towels, we just got to. I need one for my hair and my body. And he needs one. An extra one never hurts.However, we did ask for an extra got it.
This next part is going to be a one star issue. The stench, because of the jetties, and the accumulating seaweed, was horrendous, and it invaded the room via air conditioners. They had a young man raking the beach, but he was pushing the seaweed back into the ocean. And, if you love the beach, you know this is a bad thing!
Five stars here!! The breakfast buffet was the best in town for the price. The beach stench was not prevalent in this area, so be assured that you can eat with confidence. So many choices, healthy and not. Food was fresh and you could order items on a limited menu in addition to the standard buffet fare. Hot and cold and plenty of juice choices. There was indoor and outdoor seating beachside. Ah-mazing. Inside is not air conditioned (it's a historic venue after all) but the breeze offered beautiful relief for hot/humid days. We had the buffet most mornings during our stay. We also had lunch there one day. We had the specials, Caprese Chicken sandwich with fries and BBQ Chicken Quesadilla. FUCK YEAH! Good.
Unfortunately, we had to leave our vacation early due to a family emergency. Families, am I right? They reimbursed us for a one night stay. Honestly, that was a lot more than I expected.This was very appreciated!
It's definitely a place geared towards families with children (dislike for me) but over all, it was pretty nice!!
I kid you not, the staff really did make it nice. read more
