Sea Crest Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The Sea Crest Beach Resort is a large, sprawling Cape Cod resort, with wonderful amenities, on Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth, MA. It has everything you'll need for a fabulous vacation. The staff is helpful and friendly, the hotel is lovely, there is ample, free parking and it owns a private part of Old Silver Beach. Food and drink is readily available on-site. The Lantern Room serves breakfast (all-you-can-eat buffet), lunch and dinner and they have a great bar. Additionally, there is a pizza place, an ice cream shoppe and a sundries shop where you can pick up coffee, souvenirs and other essentials. They also have a marvelous beach bar and snack bar, to watch the best sunsets on all of Cape Cod. It's family-friendly and there is so much to do in the local area, just a short drive away, including ferries to Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and visits to Wood's Hole--home of the National Oceanographic Institute and Marine Biology Labs. My room was spacious and comfortable and maid service was spot-on great. WiFi was fast and error-free. Overall, I enjoyed a great stay at the Sea Crest Beach Resort. Enjoy!"

"Friendly, Accommodating and clean for a decent price The front desk had to close early due to an emergency and the staff worked hard to contact us & let us know. They were helpful- also offered us late check out for a small fee & allowed us to use the pool & amenities past our check out time. Room was very clean and neat and bed was extremely comfortable. Their were plenty of towels and the cleaning lady was friendly & good at her job. The outside of the property is a little run down but everything inside was in good shape, especially the pool which was large, clean and private. We will stay here again. It's a decent hotel at a very good price."
