Second time staying here and again we were blown away at the service. Peter (and the other woman and gentleman in the office whose names we did not get!) were so helpful! Peter mapped out our bike ride, ensuring we had a spot to purchase a bike lock and that we were in the appropriate spot we needed to meet up with family up Cape. Room was clean, and grounds are indescribable with trees and flowers uncommon to the Cape area. Koi pond, pool, and hot tub just added to the experience! Looking forward to many more visits! read more

Pleasant Bay Village Resort - Koi pond - Hotels Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

We cannot say enough great things about this hotel. It's reasonably priced compared to hotels around it, the grounds are beautiful. They have a koi pond where you can feed the fish. The staff is super friendly. The rooms are big and very nice. Bathrooms are a little small, but fine. Rooms are very well kept. They do turn down service in the evenings. You have a dedicated parking spot for your room. If you call for something they come very quickly. The pool is very nice and has a 10' deep end. It's located conveniently to a ton of restaurants, beaches, and things to do. This will be our go to place on Cape Cod moving forward!! read more

Another wonderful vacation spent at pleasant bay village! In addition to the tranquil beauty of this resort the people who work there are epic read more

It was wonderful! The staff, the gardens, the room was clean and everything in the room was updated beautifully. I had a chance to meet one of the owners and the person that takes care of the property. It's like staying in the middle of one of the finest Japanese gardens. Put that on top of Pleasant Bay, and if you're like me, it's heaven. If you go here, take some time to enjoy the property. I know the Cape has so much to offer, but if you're looking to relax, take a day here just to absorb the energy. There's a beautiful pool and hot tub for you to enjoy too. read more

What a beautiful location! Exceptional gardens and the rooms are so large and comfortable. This is our second year visiting and already planning for next year. Friendly staff, warm pool and perfect jacuzzi and so close to everything. Highly recommend! read more

Pleasant Bay Village is a wonderful gem in Chatham! Its setting is a peaceful garden oasis that is meticulously maintained! The Japanese gardens are absolutely wonderful. The accommodations are tended to lovingly and are so comfortable and immaculate. The week there was as peaceful as it could be and so close to all activities on the Cape. Just enjoyed the very short ride back daily to appreciate staying in a tranquil property so close to everything! It is family friendly and felt like home! The staff could not be more pleasant, 5 stars! Wish we could have stayed more than a week! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pleasant Bay Village Resort for a short girls getaway weekend! The staff were very helpful, the room was adorable (they even upgraded us to a room with a kitchenette!) and the grounds were beautifully landscaped (we got to feed the fish in the koi pond)! Little did we know it was the last weekend they were open before they closed for the winter. We will definitely be back! read more

Found this amazing little place in Chatham and unfortunately only had 1 night to stay there but I could have stayed for a month. Josh was outstanding at check in, getting us settled and showing us where and how to get to everything in town. You get the feeling that the whole property is a garden and they have some cottages hidden amongst the foliage. You literally have to walk a gravel path to get to your cottage which adds to the atmosphere and the mystique. Our cottage was small but updated and super clean with a keurig coffee maker. Our cottage was right next to a loaded Koi pond with a small waterfall. Just stand on the edge of the pond and all the Koi will race over to you. Need to come back here and spend a week, I very much recommend this property. read more

We've been coming here for over 20 years, so when it came time to celebrate our 40th anniversary with family, who is now scattered around the country, it only made sense that we should do it here. The rooms are great, facilities are in wonderful shape, the staff couldn't be any nicer. Johnny always makes our experience special for us. read more

Had a really nice stay at the Pleasant Bay Resort. Rooms were very modern, clean and comfortable. Grounds were beautiful with 7 acres of trees, plants and gardens. We especially loved the beautiful pool and jacuzzi, with plenty of chairs for lounging. You could even order lunch and wine poolside from 12-3. Breakfast was available for pick-up in the lobby for reasonable charge. And they had free beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and games to check out. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Totally recommend. read more

We had a great stay. The grounds and rooms are beautiful. The best feature is the people working at the Village. Everyone was super nice and accommodating. We had a 3 generation family trip (with lots of different needs) and the staff always did their best to accommodate, which was beyond appreciated. Our kids seemed to know everyone's name by the time we left. The property offers fun throwback vibes (i.e. vintage central office, charcoal grills, huge koi pond & safe walkable space for kids) with modern comforts (i.e. clean rooms, comfortable beds, amazing landscaping, beautiful pool x hot tub). This blend of both worlds is a win. read more

Nice pool area, great staff, hotel is haunted, particularly room 113 __________________

I have vacationed here about 7 times over the past 20 years, but it's been 7 years since I was here before this month. The major attraction here are or were the grounds. Plants, trees and grass are everywhere. You feel isolated from your surroundings (which aren't too shabby) when staying at this resort. Unfortunately, the upkeep of the property has gone downhill. The grass needs to be cut and the bushes and trees require major trimming. Good luck in not hitting your face or vehicle with the over growth. There were other problems with my stay but the above described changes were the most notable. No longer recommended. Unfortunate read more

Our group of 4 adults plus a little dog stayed here for Labor Day Weekend and we honestly could not have been happier. First of all the location was great for hiking, dining and spending the day on a little beach that is about a 2 minute walk. Just walking around the grounds reminded me of what makes Cape Cod special- lush trees, a coy pond with little waterfalls and a bamboo forest! We stayed in a 2 Bedroom with a kitchen and a deck that was so serene in the morning and at the end of the day to relax. The accommodations were perfect for us and everything was clean And spacious. The pool and hot tub area were relaxing and they serve breakfast, lunch and wine and beer! The staff were all pleasant making the checking in and out process easy. We have usually stayed a little further in Orleans but moving forward we will 100% be staying here again. You cannot beat somewhere affordable and so lovely in Chatham! You will not be disappointed if you are looking for a relaxing vacation!! read more

We recommend this place for any one who wants to relax, wether single, couples, family and is also pet friendly read more

What an absolute great stay. From the moment we checked in. The front desk crew were very kind and helpful and easily switched my room for me to a pet friendly because I screwed up online:) The room was immaculate and clean.....also it is a very tranquil and peaceful area. The location is amazing so close to Nauset Beach and also close to downtown Chatham...There is a beautiful coy pond on site with huge fish....so cool ....oh and the shower head in the room was the best I've experienced!!! I highly recommend this place for a moderately priced hotel.....FOR SURE!!!! read more

Friendly, family owned, multi-generational business dedicated to high quality customer service. Every interaction with the owner/staff was engaging, informative, and Pleasant! Rooms were renovated with high quality, attention to detail! Road noise from fast traffic in the morning was a surprise, so if you want to sleep in, request a back unit. read more

Beautiful, peaceful, clean, quite - seriously what more do you need! Oh, our dog Stella could come too! Pretty much PERFECTION for us! We stayed in a newly renovated room with a completely enclosed deck (perfect for the dog). The grounds are beautiful and AMAZING!!! The pool has a waterfall, plenty of seating options and they serve wine and beer - again, pretty much perfection in our book! Cher was lovely to talk to and had lots of suggestions for local spots and Johnny at the desk was an excellent host! We are totally enjoying our stay at Pleasant Bay Resort and cannot wait you come back!!! read more

My family and I enjoyed a great week at Pleasent Bay Village Resort. Let me just say that John at the front desk was one of the nicest, welcoming people I ever met. I can't stress how clean and sanitized this resort is. The pool is large enough to social distance from other families/ people, the pool stairs and tables were cleaned every ten mins. Not to mention the pool is saltwater and heated. My kids loved waking up in the morning, walking over to the koi pond, then making their way to the little park area to have breakfast. The cafe was not opened during our stay due to COVID but there is a cute little cafe, only 5 min ride for breakfast, called Chatham Perk. We booked a double queen room and it was spacious for our family. This property is so clean, beautiful and scenic. I look forward to returning to this property soon! read more

Pleasant Bay Village Resort - Koi fish pond - Hotels Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

This is a beautiful place. Lovely pool and hot tub area, friendly staff and beautiful little room. Highly recommended!

I've been staying at Pleasant Bay Village for many years now and can honestly say that there really isn't a better place to spend time while on the Cape. First and most importantly (for me anyway) is that the rooms are clean. True a lot of them have been completely renovated but even prior to that you could entrust that you were not going to be staying in a dirty room. No cheap linens, and smart TVs add to the positive experience. The service provided by the staff here is impeccable and with very little turnover in the staff you can tell that they are well invested in making sure that your stay is a good one. This is what you get when you patronize a family run business with a long track record in hospitality. The grounds are well maintained and decades in the making, a horticultural gem that includes a koi pond and a well maintained pool area. If for some reason you decide you do not want to take advantage of the many things that Chatham and the Cape as a whole can offer you, you will feel entirely comfortable staying on property and reading a book, the general atmosphere is very laid back and quiet. Prior to the pandemic, they ran a wonderful breakfast at the Inn's main building and still execute a nice breakfast to go. Hopefully the full breakfast can become a reality for us all again in a post pandemic world because it really got your day off to a great start. Whether it's a family vacation in the summer or a quick romantic get away off season in September or October you cannot go wrong with your stay at the Bay! read more

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. read more

Pleasant Bay Village Resort - Patio in the garden, Pleasant Bay Village - Hotels Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

I was lodging here in mid-June while in town for a wedding. It felt extremely comfortable and peaceful, with a very accommodating and helpful staff. I struggled making my intended departure time and they went above and beyond to help me with my situation. read more

We spent a week at the Pleasant Bay Village Resort and loved every minute of it. The room and grounds were spotless. We stayed in a newly renovated rear efficiency. It was perfect for us! Two adults and two dogs. The full kitchen was so nice. All new appliances and fully stocked with all kitchen tools. Our room's patio was also amazing. A dining table with four chairs plus two chaise lounges were so so lovely to have coffee in the morning and for various lunches and dinners. We also really enjoyed using the charcoal grill. The bathroom was nicely appointed and I loved the lighted makeup mirror. It was a very nice extra. The staff was so friendly especially Johnny at the front desk who was so gracious to us in taking our reservation and every moment in between. Didianna, our housekeeper for most of our days, was also very accommodating. Everyone was so nice and obviously took pride in the Resort. The resort provides an app with info about the resort as well as local area attractions. A great idea and very useful! The gardens are gorgeous. The koi pond was such an unexpected respite. Feeding the fish with the food provided by the front desk while looking at the lush gardens and listening to the waterfalls was such a peaceful activity. The pool area was also a hit. Beautiful landscaped and a small waterfall there as well! The only changes I would recommend would be to provide a toaster oven instead of a toaster for more flexibility (ie bagels), enclose the rear of each patio even with just a pony wall to provide a bit more privacy, and change out the dryers. It took 90 minutes to barely dry the clothes. We were traveling for a month do laundry was a necessity. We can't wait to come back! read more

Got home yesterday from a week's stay at Pleasant Bay Village. This was our third visit over the course of nine years. We love this place. We stay in an efficiency in the rear, and we arrived to find out that over the past winter, these rooms were completely redone. They are larger and nicer than previously, with queen beds now (instead of doubles). The rooms are clean, comfortable, and beautiful. The property has gorgeous gardens and water features and a koi pond. The pool is large and solar heated with a waterfall at one end. One can order lunch at the pool or breakfast in a dining room. There is a laundry room with coin-operated washers and dryers. This place is family owned, and it shows. Everyone, family or not family, is helpful and friendly. We entrusted our dinner reservations to a foodie staff member, and we had terrific meals all week. We can't wait to return to Pleasant Bay. read more

Pleasant Bay Village Resort is deceptive in how it presents itself. It is hard to see from the road, and the landscaping could be considered over grown to the naked eye, but it is actually extensively lush and instead intended to surround you in privacy and to enshroud you in a completely relaxing and visually soothing environment. It intentionally slows you down. The grounds are an eclectic blend of Asian / New England landscaping, all well manicured, and crafted to create unique spaces and visual harmony. The landscaping is punctuated with fountains, topiary, architectural elements, and various sculptures. It does cast a serene aura. Our room was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The beds and pillows encouraged deep sleep. Our room had various artistic embellishments, including a tribal mask of sorts, two prints, and two small oil colors. The bathroom was spotless with all the customary toiletries. In addition to the standard ice bucket (well designed) there were both stylish bamboo-like highball tumblers characteristic of a tiki bar (but so right for this property) but also a supply of individually wrapped plastic travel cups suitable for the pool or beach. The climate control was both effective and extremely quiet. There were plenty of towels, a hair dryer, make-up mirror... the works. Maid service was great including candy garnished turndown. It also features a beautiful secluded pool and hot tub, a koi pond, and many nice sitting areas. Take out breakfast is a new and convenient feature. There is much more to say about this place, but that can be gleaned from the website. And lastly there is Buddy Bear, the 140 lb. Newfoundland, who is the unofficial receptionist on duty typically from 11:00-11:00. The Resort is truly a diamond in the rough, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is very clean, comfortable, and accommodating. It is one of the last great private motels, and well worth the investment. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 yelp, but it's the same place. read more

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! read more

Just spent a night at Pleasant Bay Village Resort. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly gracious and friendly. The check in was definitely no hassle and we were handed the key. Now, most hotels have key cards or push type key entry, but this was a key and not just any key. A square key that spoke to a time without key cards and to nostalgic memories- at least for me. Funny, what just a key can say about a hotel. Anyways, the grounds, what can I say... amazingly beautiful mature plantings and unique objects and hidden spots to discover- a Koi pond or the pool which feels so remote surrounded by trees and bamboo and really not far from the main road- you would never know. The rooms were eclectic and spacious with a varying array of different styles that somehow worked. Clean and bright with light blocking shades that are power operated and a very well thought out layout and appointed room. I was truly pleased at my stay and would definitely return and recommend this hidden treasure to anyone looking for a peaceful place to spend some time. read more

Not only is this place gorgeous and located in a great spot but the owners/employees are so amazing. I highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Chatham! read more

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. read more

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 ! read more

dont stay here i dont no were to begin 825 dollars for 2 nights moved rooms 3 times almost 4 for a spider problem the place is like an amazon maze horrible the musty smell stays with you in the rooms all 3 that we stood in i still cant get over how they call it a resort theres no amenities at all a small pool that closes at 9pm theres many other better places to stay down the cape the only good part of it all was johnny that works there is a really nice guy but this place definately a rip off read more

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. read more

Loved our stay here. Nice size rooms, lovely grounds, super friendly staff. The only downside was room was musty smelling.

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 decor. There were sculptures and fountains all over and the landscaping is very sweet. Stay there, you won't regret it! read more

Another win for yelp! 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... read more
