Fodor's Review:
Twenty Cape-style cottages and an attractive hotel make up this traditionally elegant resort by the sea. Set on 22 acres of shaded landscape partially surrounded by Pleasant Bay, the Wequassett is an informally upscale resort. An attentive staff, evening entertainment, fun in the sun, and golf at the exclusive Cape Cod National Golf Club are just a few of the benefits you can count on at Wequassett. Chef Bill Brodsky's creative globally inspired cuisine graces the menus of the three restaurants -- the star being the sophisticated 28 Atlantic ($$$-$$$$), which is one of the top destination restaurants on the Cape, serving such stellar creations as yellowfin and salmon tartare, and caramelized skate wing with beet-daikon-horseradish salad and watercress jus. The Pool Bar & Grill serves cocktails, beverages, snacks, and light lunch fare poolside. After a day at the beach or on the links, retire to your spacious room and relax amid fresh pine furniture, floral bedcovers or handmade quilts, and overflowing window boxes. Or, sip a cocktail on the lawn outside your private cottage-style room overlooking Pleasant Bay. Pros: Full-service resort in idyllic, waterfront setting, activities and programs for all ages, babysitting services on-site, elegant surroundings. Cons: Rates are very steep, not an in-town location.

2nd Stay, Big Disappointment
Posted by gaa from Boston on 9/19/07
Our 1st stay last spring (pre-season to miss the big crowds of kids) was pleasant, quiet, and although there was limited service--no bellhop, 1 restaurant of 3 open--felt luxurious and pampered. This Sept. stay (again, shoulder season)was awful. The maintenance men were banging around in our cottage attic space above our heads, disconnecting the electricity by accident, setting off the smoke detector, the carpet was filthy, and we could clearly hear 1)the constant cell phone conversation of the room on one side and 2) the 1:30am arrival of the drunk conventioneers on the other side. Soundproofing was non existent. The Manager was very sorry, mentioning the winter construction is going to build some quieter rooms with soundproofing. For $750/waterfront room OFF SEASON, I can't believe anyone would stay here with other guests on property. The few pluses: attractive rooms, very good food. We regularly pay well over $1,000/night at 4 Seasons, Mandarin Oriental etc. This resort is a wannabe--nowhere near the league of the top tier. Fodor's needs to revisit and re-rate, or what's the point of this website???
