Red Jacket Beach Resort & Spa

This is an older hotel that needs a lot of updating! The bathroom and sink area are two, very small separate rooms. The rooms have a musty smell and everything seemed sticky from the moisture. We did have an issue with the tub barely draining and the issue was taken care of promptly. The outdoor area is beautifully landscaped and the individual decks are nice. We did not use the pool area but it also looked good. The beach area is very nice and has loungers and chairs. The food and bar area including alcoholic drinks was adequate. The servers in the restaurant ( who were foreigners temporarily working for the summer months ) were friendly and accommodating. However, the woman who manages the servers needs additional training in how to treat her staff and the guests. I saw her chastise an employee in front of the guests. Very unprofessional! Overall, the Red Jacket is not the red carpet of hotels.

What a great place to spend a summer week with the family. If you're looking for a romantic get away this might not be your thing. If you're looking for the perfect vacation for your kids that take you back to what a vacation was when you were a kid....look no further. I felt like a teen in '85 here... yes, the place is dated or nostalgic depending on your view, and no, the bed isn't comfortable by any stretch. If you're doing it the right way you and the kids will be so exhausted you won't care because it'll be midnight before you enter the room...which happens to be steps from a well maintained private beach. The staff, mostly college kids from international backgrounds, were amazing. The activities for kids were constant and engaging, and later at night they'd all meet up at the fire pit and continue playing/swimming together in the pools. If you want a vacation that keeps the kids off the phone and full of laughter, socializing and getting physical activity in without you telling them...Red Jacket all day! We'll definitely be coming back!

Had the pleasure of having my wedding here over Columbus Day weekend! By far the best wedding experience. Professional, detailed and accommodating. Karen was by far the most organized and on top of every detail. She really made this experience magical. The food was by far the most delicious meal I have ever had at a wedding. All of my guest absolutely loved the food. No one had one negative thing to say. Most of my guests stayed the weekend and it really was a fantastic experience for all of us. I'm still getting messages about how wonderful of a wedding it was. Thank you Karen, Holly, Jeff and all the Red Jacket Staff for making this experience so Memorable.

We had our wedding at the Red Jacket Beach Resort and we are so grateful we did. We wanted the Cape Cod charm and to show off the natural beauty of the local beaches - everything far exceeded our expectations when their Food & Beverage Manager, Karen Rood, got involved. Karen’s thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and expertise made it feel like a family member was coordinating our wedding with us for nearly 2 years. She worked with us to make sure the wedding day and weekend fit our vision, and we can’t wait to return to celebrate anniversaries and visit with friends and family in the future. Thank you for giving us the wedding beyond what we could have dreamed. And we can’t leave out the amazing food their Chef prepared highlighting local seafood and going above and beyond to accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions, and their reception team led by Molly, who worked so hard to accommodate us and all our dear guests. Cannot recommend their team highly enough for your wedding or other event!

Like the website says, this is a 3 star hotel so do not expect 5 star service from the staff. You get what you pay for here. They seem to have no policy of how they id people at the bar. The bartender just picks and chooses who they want to id, so I suggest you bring it even though it is annoying to bring to the pool or beach. They give you a paper stick on bracelet when you get here, so they do not identify who is of age, everyone gets the same bracelet. The rooms do not smell great. They do not enforce no smoking cigarettes in the rooms or on the beach so be aware of this if you Are sensitive. The first thing I smelled when opening the door to the hotel was a cigarette. They provide amenities in the room for 2 adults even if you specify more are staying in the room so ask for more towels when you arrive. There is no elevator to the 2nd floor. You do not need to scan a hotel room card to get into the building - anyone could walk in which is a little sketchy. They will charge you to park your car even if there is not a single spot available. It is pretty here but just be aware this is not a luxury hotel.
