Chatham Bars Inn Resort and Spa

This was obviously more than I expected. While we did not take advantage of every little thing that you offered, it was an experience we will never forget. We will be back!

Best view on the Cape! Wonderful relaxing 5 days. Don’t need to leave the property if you don’t want to. Lavender Hive cocktail in the lounge by the fireplace every evening is one of our favorite moments after relaxing on the beach with the amazing view!

Our recent four-night stay at the Chatham Bars Inn met our high expectations, and then some!! Since we have many fond memories of enjoyable vacations at CBI over the years, it was a perfect place to celebrate my wife’s special birthday with our children and grandchildren. After hearing our vision for the birthday celebration, resort executive Katherine Hawk recommended we stay in the Claflin House, one of the resort’s three houses for families and other groups. We also booked an additional nearby “Cottage room” in the Hunting Lodge for our daughter and son-in-law. The Claflin house is a lovely venue for families. It comfortably accommodated 12 of us (including six young children) with three common rooms for us to hang out in, a spacious kitchen, four nice bedrooms, an outdoor grill and eating area, and a large backyard, not far from the beach. The house also comes with a beach cabana which we thoroughly enjoyed, particularly in the drizzly weather we encountered during some of our stay. Our family made extensive use of the resort’s spa and excellent dining facilities, with the highlights being delicious meals at the gorgeous Veranda and Beach House Grill, with their spectacular views. In addition, the two children old enough to participate in the ‘Kids Crew’ activities (ages 4+) had a great time and enjoyed the company of the other kids. To enable the adults to have some “grown up” dinners, we were very pleased with the baby-sitting service which the resort recommended. The staff at the Chatham Bars Inn is absolutely wonderful. Katherine Hawk was a joy to work with throughout the year+ planning process for this trip to CBI. She addressed our family’s needs superbly and with much warmth and kindness. Her colleague, Michele Ross also helped make the trip special -- providing great information, advice and support in the months leading up to our arrival, as well as during our stay. The other resort staff we encountered, including Andrea from housekeeping, were also terrific.

Continues to be one of the most amazing resort experiences anywhere in the world. I cannot wait to return to this paradise.

The location is supreme and we enjoyed the views and going over to the North Beach Island to walk the beach. The property is beautiful. The food at the restaurants was very good. The valet was very responsive, but they left our bags just sitting in the hallway until we could check in. The spa was very nice and treatments were excellent. It would be nice if they had a sauna in the men’s locker room too. The service across the hotel was spotty for a 5 star hotel. The room we stayed in (at the main inn) had a great view and we enjoyed the balcony, but a double bed is just too small and they had room to put a queen. Also the fire alarm went off at 2:30am one night. Overall this resort is very expensive and I’ve experienced better service at other high end hotels.
