Wequassett Resort and Golf Club

Noise noise noise. That will be our abiding memory of this place. Our first bedroom smelled musty and had a LOUD air conditioning generator noise even when the aircon was turned off. Complained and the hotel couldn’t fix it so we were moved. This one had no smell and no generator sound thank goodness, but something in the ceiling space would keep banging on and off - like a plastic aircon flap or something. Highly distracting and unrestful. Again, mentioned this to reception. Hotel said they would check it out but they never did (or if they ever did, they didn’t do anything about it). So we gave up asking and gritted our teeth for the next few days. On top on this, can hear clearly: loud and thumping party music from their function space that is still going at 21:50 as I type, the gardeners strimming the lawn early in the morning waking us up, anyone walking past as if they were in the room with us. So unrestful. Lumpy beds with cheap covers and pillows. I never really knew what people meant when they said a bed was “lumpy”. Put it this way, I now do. Apparently the resort had a recent refurbishment - but it all just feels cheap. The sort of thing you’d be impressed with if your friend said they’d done it as a DIY job - but NOT when it’s a supposedly luxury hotel. The one thing you require from a five star hotel at this price point is quiet, peaceful rooms and this was terrible. Food was distinctly average, pool area just CRAMMED with pool furniture, no real actual beach to speak of - and the sea water had sea scum/foam near the shore so you wouldn’t choose to swim in it. Final oddity - the place is very badly linked up so to get from the rooms to the restaurant/reception/adult pool/tennis, you basically have to keep walking through their car parks… They’ve tried to jazz up the boundaries with flowers, but at the end of the day, tarmac is tarmac!

Avoid this place like the plague... The hotel is horrendous. A weird party destination for middle aged people who can't handle alcohol. I witnessed one lady pee'ing in the car park. The food is pricey but lousy. Service is decidely average and predicated on tips. Watch out for the various random taxes for water and local causes that add 25% to your bill. If you're into golf, the hotel advertises as a golf hotel, it is not. They can sometimes reserve slots at the neighbouring club which is a rude establishment that may or may not accept your booking depending on their view of how you look.

Our stay at the Wequassett exceeded our expectations. Our room was spacious for our family of four plus our dog. Additionally, the convenience of being able to travel with our dog and to be on the first floor was a major plus. The staff were friendly, attentive to questions and helpful. The grounds are well maintained. The added touches like ice cream at the pool and movie night were well received by our boys (10 and 12). Additionally, we took advantage of the opportunity to take the boat from the pier over to the beach and had an enjoyable time on what was in essence a private beach experience. While there were many events happening during our stay, the resort was quiet. We look forward to planning our next visit.

Attended a family wedding at this venue. Really lovely! A special, memorable day. Gorgeous views. Note that we didn't stay at the venue as the room prices were over-the-top.

everything is exceptional. staff and food is amazing. we travelled with a 16-month old and all accommodations and requests were met. very happy to stay there and will come back. I will go back.
