Disappointed After Years of Great Stays I’ve stayed at Cape Sand Inn for the past three seasons and was always very satisfied — clean, beautiful rooms and a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, this year was a big letdown. The sheets and blankets were visibly stained and felt unclean. Even worse, the swimming pool was dirty and uninviting — I didn’t feel comfortable swimming or even sitting nearby. It’s disheartening to see the quality drop so dramatically. I hope the management takes this seriously and restores the standards that once made this place special.

Service

The service was excellent overall. However, during the night, the guests in the room next to mine got into a fight. I expected someone from the hotel to step in and handle the situation, but that didn’t happen.
