Red Jacket Beach Resorts in Cape Cod
Cape Cod is one of my favorite New England beach destinations that’s filled with the perfect mix of relaxation and family fun. While on the Cape last month, we had the pleasure of staying at the Red Jacket Beach Resort. (Click here for the full review.) The best thing about staying at a Red Jacket Resort is you can use the amenities of all five Red Jacket Resorts. This makes planning so easy and gives you endless options of fun activities. While we were there we were able to tour the other four resorts, and we were so impressed with each one. We even went back to a few of them the next day to play. Here are some of the things we liked best about each resort:
Blue Water Resort
The resort is set on a gorgeous white sand beach.
After a long school year full of homework, studying for tests, and early mornings, my girls deserved some fun in the sun. So where did we escape to? To the beautiful beaches of Cape Cod of course! Our first stop was to Pleasant Bay Village Resort in the quaint town of Chatham. This family-owned resort is in the perfect central location in the elbow of Cape Cod.
At times I like to travel with just one of my daughters so we can spend some quality one-on-one time together. Recently, I was so pleased to be able to stay at the Cape Codder Resort and Spa, in Hyannis, with my youngest. After looking at the website and seeing the hotel has a water park, she could hardly stop talking about it. The hotel did not disappoint and we had a fabulous time playing throughout our stay. The hotel is located near several beautiful Cape Cod beaches, and near many restaurants and adorable shop.
The day is finally here and I’m all packed up to go away all by myself for the first time. No husband and no kiddos. I’ve put my bags in the car and grabbed the wine I’ve been chilling in the fridge. When suddenly…Ring Ring Ring. “Hi Mrs. Johnson. This is the school nurse. Would you mind coming in to pick up your daughter? She seems to have a bit of a bellyache.” You’ve got to be kidding me! I can’t make this stuff up. With a sigh, the wine goes back in the fridge and I’m on my way to pick up my little cherub from school.
When I go to Cape Cod, it is all about relaxing and recharging. I love all the beautiful beaches and taking long walks while shopping in downtown areas. When I travel I like to take in the culture of my destination and Heritage Museum and Gardens, located in Sandwich, is the perfect place to experience classic Cape Cod. There is something for everyone here and a lovely way to spend half a day. Let me tell you about my day at this unique spot.
