Sea Crest Beach Hotel

Cape Cod, New England

Virgin rating

The hotel

Just minutes over the Bourne or Sagamore bridges is the Sea Crest Beach Hotel – an old favourite that has just undergone a multi-million dollar renovation. The same great service is still available and the friendly atmosphere, but there’s plenty that’s even better than before. What will never change is the location – overlooking Old Silver Beach, an endless stretch of golden shoreline that really is nothing short of sublime. What have changed are the guest rooms – all have been sumptuously refurnished in soothing colours to bring you the utmost in comfort. The Ocean View Dining Room more than matches the beauty of its vista and Red’s Restaurant and Lounge, named after previous hotel owner and Celtic’s legend, Red Auerbach, is one of the hip and happening places to spend your evening. Just opened is the Ice-Cream shop – sure to prove popular with just about everyone or head to the pool bar and get the barman to whisk you up a refreshing cocktail. A wonderful place to feel big city stress just melt away, there’s plenty to see and do in the nearby area too. There are various golf courses or make like the locals and explore by bike.

My wife and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary at your resort this past weekend from Friday through yesterday. We had an amazing trip! Our view front the beachfront room on the second level was incredible! The staff was amazing as well! They were very friendly and helpful. Honestly, minus a few things the room would have been excellent. The bedroom/living room area were lovely! The bathroom however, was less than desirable. It really needs to be updated. The tub looked horrible. The bathroom was clean, just extremely outdated. Also, the TV remote would only work if you literally stood in front of the TV. If you tried changing channels from the couch or bed it wouldn’t work. And all of the doors in the room, door to enter the room, bathroom door and patio door were extremely difficult to open and close. Trying to get in/out of our room, bathroom and onto the patio were painstakingly difficult. Again, we had an amazing time, but for the price, these things really shouldn’t have been an issue. Hopefully, by the time we venture back up that way these items will have been addressed because Seacrest, with a few additional touches, could be incredible! The staff was very friendly, easily approachable and helpful. Read less

Had the smell of a dead rodent in the walls. Took them 2 days to find us another room. We were told that they would waive the resort fee, which they did not.

On site restaurants were a little improved but still mediocre. The indoor pool was a disaster. You had unsupervised hordes of kids running around like a pack or wolves jumping into the pool all over the place. Parents were nowhere to be found. Pool staff sat on their hands. Was awful for adult guests trying to get in a swim. For hotel, it's a… Read more

You had unsupervised hordes of kids running around like a pack or wolves jumping into the pool all over the place. Parents were nowhere to be found. Pool staff sat on their hands. Was awful for adult guests trying to get in a swim. For hotel, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Also, you had very large numbers of unsupervised smaller and older children stuffed into the jacuzzi like sardines. The rest was decent. Read less

Great hotel overall, food wasn’t my favorite but it was convenient and the restraints around were amazing. The beach and pool by far was the best part.

Location was nice with private beach access. However extremely overpriced for the caliber of the resort and amenities. Beds were on the smaller end and pillows were miniature. Also no accessible microwaves so you’re forced to purchase food from the resort again
