Pleasant Bay Village Resort

We truly enjoyed our stay. This is a very well let property. We stayed In a studio efficiency, 2 double beds (not big enough for 2 adults in my opinion), but comfortable. Kitchen efficiency is well stocked with state of the art appliances.
Bathroom is not terrible, but standard tub shower that if your curtain was in the wrong place would flood your floor. It was roomy which is always nice.
Pool area is very nice with lovely gardens, ping pong and shuffle board. Our kids really enjoyed it.
The only real negative to me was the cat in the lobby. I am not a cat lover and am allergic. However, I just didn’t eat in the dining room and stayed away from the Libby unless I needed to be there. We will be back!

I saw the reviews when I booked the reservation for this hidden little gem. Going into it I knew the reviews were mixed but I found this place to be a very nice place. You can literally park your vehicle in front of your room. The rooms were nicely arranged and the beds were comfortable but a tad bit small for two people. The great perk is the thy allow four legged friends. Let’s review the village, rooms, and amenities.
Village: You are welcomed into their village by driving up to the front desk area. You are given keys to your room. Yes, they still use keys. As you walk around the hotel grounds you come upon a koi pond, small paths filled with landscaped plants, grass, and trees. It’s very quiet and personable.
Rooms: they have suites and efficiencies. We stayed in one of their efficiencies. The rooms were clean, organized, and welcoming. If this was a dog room you would never know it. Other places I have stayed clearly show you the reason why you are in that room. The bathroom is nice and spacious. One drawback was the shower. Less water then what I am used to in hotels. The water fluctuated between hot and cold. They have nice towels, and shower products that they refill daily. I did not get to see the suites but I heard from others that they were nice. Prices are a bit high but after all it is Cape Cod during peak season.
Amenities: the pool is great and heated to a comfortable level. Nice little waterfall at the end of the pool. Be careful with kids as the pool ranges from 4 ft to 10 ft. No lifeguard on duty but the kids I did see there had parents present. The restaurant is nice and cozy but it’s a bit confusing because it’s a first come first serve place with no host/​hostess. You sort of have to watch over tables to be sure people who come after you don’t take your seat when waiting for a table. Prices are reasonable and the coffee is yummy. Enjoy your stay here. It’s a nice place when visiting mid-​cape or Chatham in general. Be sure to heed any warnings. Chatham is famous for great white sharks during summer months. It really is a true life version of jaws so read signs and watch for warnings.

We stayed here for a wedding that was nearby and it was very nice. They have comfortable and clean rooms. But best of all they have this pool surrounded by a beautiful garden of bamboo, Japanese maple trees and other gorgeous greenery. It was like an oasis. The staff was so friendly. They even mailed back my son’s favorite teddy bear that got left behind because it was under the sheets. I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again !

Loved it! Quaint Cape Cod setting. Extremely clean. Owners and staff were friendly and helpful. Beautiful, peaceful zen gardens and pool were immaculately cared for. The room was a bit dated but clean. Can’t wait to go back.

Went for a wedding; the staff was so kind. They gave us tips on the best way to travel around the area. The check in and check out process was so simple and they were smiling the whole time. The room was lovely, was aired out and windows open letting in the breeze when I got there. Bathroom was large and shower was great! Love the layout, really like a piece of paradise. I highly recommend if you plan on traveling to the area. Beats a chain hotel any day of the week!

This hotel overcharged my credit card $ 90 for our two night stay, and even though I have emailed and called, possess a receipt, it is now almost a month later and I have still not been refunded. Today I am trying different channels in disputing the claim with Visa. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but now it is seeming more like they are fraudulent business who preys on their unsuspecting customers.
As for the amenities, the hotel is pretty overpriced & outdated. They had a ping pong table and shuffle board, but every piece of equipment for both games was barely in usable condition. Something was wrong with the hot tub, it would not get hot. Obviously from the above paragraph it is easy to tell that the staff is quite unfriendly, and the customer service is atrocious. For $ 200 a night like this hotel charges, there has to be something much nicer, with working equipment, possibly even on the water. If this hotel was in a normal American town and not Cape Cod, they could probably get away with charging $ 30 a night, or they would be out of business.
This was our first visit to the Cape Cod area and we had an excellent time, save for Pleasant Bay leaving a sour taste in our mouth.

It is very obvious by looking at the timeline of past reviews that this place is on the decline. The place seems outdated and in need of upgrades. The rooms were well below average when spending $ 200 a night and its not even on the water. The staff was completely unprofessional when handling a customer complaint. I would not recommend this place and will not be returning.

I’ll give it 3 stars. It was a nice size bathroom and room. When the tub filled up and you drained it, it wasn’t clogged. The room was clean. We could sit on the back through the sliding glass door
The not so good– I love animals, but I am not a fan of seeing there cat drinking from the milk that was left out for our cereal. They didn’t have a good selection of «free breakfast». Boxed cereal and a banana. And again, milk that the cat was drinking from
I wouldn’t mind coming back again, we will just eat somewhere else

Not really sure how this place has this rating? Rooms were extremely overpriced and sub par at best. The staff was not only unfriendly and unaccommodating but actually went out of their way to ensure an unpleasant (no pun intended) stay. As I’m not from the area I don’t know how many options there are but I’m positive there has to be better accommodations and wouldn’t suggest this place to anyone looking for something remotely decent.

Our recent stay at Pleasant Bay Village far exceeded our expectations.
My wife, daughter and myself just enjoyed a week in an end-​unit, rear efficiency that was perfect. We had our own patio with a Weber Kettle, table with a market umbrella and the sweet sounds of a small water fall. All of this was surrounded by Japanese Gardens and a path protected by Buddahs hidden in virtually every bush.
Our room was clean with a small kitchen, stocked with high-​end appliances, granite and everything you would need to be (somewhat) self-​sufficient. The bath was attractive with stone counters and flooring. Again, clean and attractive with free wifi.
There is a nice pool and hot tub with lots of chaise lounges and tables bordered by a forest of Bamboo. The latter helps keep Rt. 28 noise to a minimum and when there is a breeze, it is relaxing to watch the bamboo gently move in unison.
The staff members are great… real people that are interested in their guests. This is not a fancy pants sort of resort, if that is what you are looking for, you have (2) such places within a 5 minutes drive. This is a very special place to spend some unpretentious, casual days relaxing on the Cape.
Pleasant Bay Village’s location is off Rt. 28 in North Chatham, which I think is perfect. 5 minutes to Main Street, Chatham, 10 minutes to Main Street, Orleans. To me, this is a perfect location for guests that want to travel beyond the Chatham area. We love Chatham, but we love Orleans and Wellfleet just as much and the North Chatham location makes for less time in the car.
Oh, and the owner’s animals are not to be missed. In the lobby there is a HUGE New Foundland named Bear. He doesn’t do much, but like the Buddahs, adds a certain presence that would be sorely missed otherwise. There is a Himalayan cat that acts like a hollogram, appearing and disappearing within a movement of light. The African Gray Parrot mimicks what the front desk staff says. So freaking funny! Almost sitcom like.
I could go on and on, but won’t. We have already decided that we will return and in the end, that is the best score a business can receive.

Wow! I loved our stay. For the price we paid it was more than I expected. The room was nice and clean and had a little more than I thought it would. I saw a Unilocal about a humid room and that was not my experience. But what makes this place a wow was the staff, grounds and animals. The people were so nice to talk to and very helpful. The grounds were a Japaness garden that was far beyond my expectations. Killer koi fish pond, an amazing himalayin cat and a New Finland named Bear. Yes it is a five minute ride from town but who cares. We have kids that loved the pool and it was a great vacation. Can’t wait to go next year.

What a lovely motel! The pictures do not do it justice. I was a little concerned that it might be tacky at first but it’s actually quite charming. It might not be a luxury hotel but it is full of whimsy, art and great energy. I wish I had had time to walk more of the grounds to take in all the new agey décor. There were sculptures and fountains all over and the landscaping is very sweet. Stay there, you won’t regret it!

We stayed here for a wedding up the road. It’s a bit cheap looking on the outside and has cheapy elements on the inside but overall a sweet spot. The landscaping is pretty cool, the pool (heated) isgreat, the animals offer a nice homey touch and they have wireless which was my saving grace!!!
the room we stayed in (401) looked as if it has desperately been «remodeled» but really it was just touched up. the carpet was yuck, the bathroom was eh, not big at all.
the room was large, that is true, but the bed was so small i had an «alice in wonderland» moment and then started cracking up at how small and low to the ground it was. it’s as if the renovation ran out of money and they couldn’t get to the beds (a very important feature of staying somewhere).
another funny and super annoying feature of our room was that they installed a very nice new front door, all glass with nice wood, however that installation wasn’t clearly thought through and the door opened into the curtains. so the only way to get privacy (because the glass was pretty much floor to ceiling) was to close the curtains, but you couldn’t open the door. imagine peter sellers trying to sneak into the his love interest’s room (in the pink panther) and gets hung up in the curtains. that’s pretty much the scene everytime you open the door. that was a crack up.
otherwise everyone walking by can check out your digs.
if compared to the swanky wequassat down the road i’d give it three stars but this really is a good spot. the folks that work there are super cool too.

Another win for Unilocal!I had no idea where to start looking when we decided to go to the Cape, and the two reviews for this place seemed really great that I just went with it. The place was really nice!
To me it was still a bit pricey ($ 175/​night for a room with 1 double bed i think) but I think its in line with the general rates at Cape Cod.
Highlights of the one night stay:
— there’s a small beach (rocky) right across. short drive to main st in Chatham and other beaches
— the landscaping is beautiful! each room has a very cottagey feel and the trees, plants, bushes all around are so well done and are very cozy.
— each unit has some outdoor patio with seating… nice touch
— bathrooms are very classy and clean
— hot tub! it was so cold where we went there in july so this was *amazing*. The pool is also a perfect warm temperature at 82 degrees so that was extremely pleasant
— cute restaurant in the lobby with breakfast and lunch
— little fridges in the rooms
— most places in cape cod require at least a 2-​night stay; this was one of the few that had no such requirement
cons:
— looks like a cheap motel from the outside
— our room was nice and big but had a small double bed… didnt make sense
— they have a HUGE dog which is cute but gave the lobby a funny smell…

I am giving this 4 stars out of five because I did not actually stay there. I will say that I had a wedding just up the road so I went to check it out as a possibility to recommend to my guests.
They were the nicest people ever! They were very helpful, took us on a wonderful tour of the property and rooms. The place reminds me of a hacienda in Mexico. Lots of beautiful plants making every room look and feel private. it was very exotic, not your typical cape cod beachy place. The rooms were nicely sized, clean and the beds were comfy, yes I tested them.
I did recommend it, and a lot of my guests did stay there, all had RAVE reviews!
I feel bad writing a review of a place that I visited but did not stay at, but they were just so great it’s hard not to promote it! Somehow there are two listed on Unilocal,but it’s the same place.
