Red Jacket Beach Resort

Came here literally the day after the season ended. They closed down the beach side bar even though there were still lots of people staying at the hotel.
Ok, so this place is awesome, our room was steps from the beach, and the hotel provides beach chairs, towels, and beach umbrellas. It’s gorgeous out there.
The inside of the hotel itself, well, it’s basically like a motel, but with the most amazing view you’ve ever had. The balconies are a good size, with a few chairs and a table outside to hang out on. Pay for the pool view/​ocean view room — it is worth it. The hotel isn’t the most modern, but spend most of your time outside and it will be great. They use old school room keys, which is cute.
We also noticed that it is a very family friendly resort, with a waterfall umbrella and shallow pool for the kids. Lots of kids, and even though I came with only adult friends, we weren’t bothered.
We’d totally come back again.

Our family stayed here over Labor Day Weekend and it was perfect! The staff and the accommodations are the best on Cape Cod. Where else can you get a hotel room on a private beach with such great amenities! The rooms can be pricey (July-​Aug) but you will not find a more accommodating stay on Cape Cod. You have a private beach and 5 different pools to choose from! They also have entertainment for the kids so the parents can sneak away and enjoy a little time for themselves. My husband loves that the staff will set up beach chairs and umbrellas upon request so all you have to do is bring a towel! Overall we had a great experience and will be returning next summer for another relaxing stay.

Great location and very family friendly! Rooms are outdated, smell musty and the air conditioner filter was so filthy we had to clean it in the middle of the night! All over social media they were advertising a meal discount which they refused to honor for us.

Wish I could go 3.5 so I’ll round up. Great pool area for kids but busy, hey its 90 in August so I’ll let it slide. Get a room pool side, no really get it. Room is clean, beach is perfect and parking is limited. Stayed 3 nights midweek, had a good time. Many local activities and restaurants. I would come back kids really do love the pool.

Wonderful hotel. A little pricey but Cape Cod is pricey. Ocean view room overlooks the pool and the ocean. Steps from the beach and pool which is wonderful. Food was good. Drinks were good. Staff was so friendly! Wonderful four day getaway.

Highly recommended for families with little ones. Excellent pool areas and private beach with full service staff to prepare your beach areas equipped with umbrellas and your choice of lounge or beach chair. Rooms are standard but promptly cleaned and fully functional/​comfortable. All rooms have a decent view of the beach even if you’re overlooking the parking lot and have chairs outside your room to enjoy the wrap around patios. Free Wifi and fun, family friendly activities each day. We’ll definitely be back.

This is not like visiting a resort down in Orlando. This is more typical of an older resort in the northeast that’s been around a few decades. Not a lot in the area, needed to drive to nearby Hyannis for a wide variety of nightlife and things to do. Rooms have outside doors, traditional metal keys. Air conditioner in the room, sliding glass door to a balcony or patio. Room was clean, but somewhat dated and a little bit of a musty smell. Did not try the food, but did go to the beach bar one night, they had live music, drinks were typical prices you would pay at a bar. For the price, it was a fair value, but for those looking for more upscale experiences, look elsewhere.

Staff is very friendly. I would stay here again!
It’s a bit dated, chairs looked a little stained, but it’s definitely clean. The fact that it’s steps from the beach makes it worth it.
I will say the beach bar drinks are pretty pricey and light on the alcohol, but there are worse things in the world.
The breakfast that they offer is okay, nothing spectacular, but not bad by any means.
But I will stress, the fact that it’s on the beach and you don’t have to wait in long beach parking lines makes everything else not matter. They have beach recliners and umbrellas. It’s really calm and nice.

Good location, nice beach, nice people. No sound proofing so we heard everything from the room above us, blocked drain in the tub so the water backed up (gross), and the sink was in the hallway instead of in an enclosed bathroom. Weird and lacked privacy. Will not return.

The location is great, right on the beach with a decent pool and a good number of beach chairs. The hotel is typical Cape, charming rooms (i.e. that need make-​overs), but the price was right for the one night we were staying. This would have easily been 3 stars if not for the dogs next door. This place allows pets (why?) which didn’t seem like a big deal until the room next to us had dogs yapping from 6:30 am through checkout. Zero fun. There were a few dogs staying at the hotel in general and their barking did not improve the sounds of the ocean waves. This placed is called a resort. Not so much. It is a decent hotel with a good pool and great beach access.

My family and I just returned home from a stay here. We had a great time and the resort was very nice. The weather the first couple days was a little cold and not very good for going to the beach. The staff was nice enough to keep the indoor pool open an extra hour so our son could get some swimming time in after an exhausting trip from Denver. They were very helpful on finding places to eat and even have menus in the lobby. They were very helpful with letting us know about using the surrounding red jacket resorts amenities. The room was great, clean and very clean everyday after returning from our activities. The beach was great to have so close. Even though the beds are smaller from home they will do. I highly suggest the beach front rooms. It is definetly worth a little extra money.

Been to this hotel twice and had a great time both stays. You can throw a rock from the rooms and hit the pool and beach. It is that close! There is plenty to do for the kids such as movies at nite, marshmallow toasts on the beach and a kids club which i found very safe. Plus gives the adults a few hours break to just chill out or bump uglies)
The beach is clean and they have jet skis and banana boat rides. There is also 2 beach bars that also serve basic lunch and dinner. Rooms are average but you are not in there much. My only real complaint is the on site restaurant does not have dinner.
Overall it was a great time and my guests that came up also really enjoyed it.

Don’t let appearances fool you. This place was great. We stayed in the rooms around the parking lot and yes, not a great view but you are steps from the beach. The pool side rooms are newer and nicer but can be noisy. The beach was clean and had tons of chairs available. You can’t beat not having to load up the car to get to the beach. The staff were friendly and the grounds were kept very clean. We would stay here again.

After my wife did some research online about hotels in this area, we came across pretty decent reviews for this one and it was still within our price range. Most of the hotels/​resorts in the area are pretty expensive, especially with the amenities offered by Riviera.
When we first pulled up, it looked more like a motor lodge than a «resort» but we gave it the benefit of the doubt. We’d been in the car for almost 8 hours and just wanted a soft bed and clean room. The hotel staff was very nice when we checked in.
The room was nothing spectacular. Had a nice poolside view with a patio about 50 feet from the beach, so that was nice. Then the problems started.
We had no working air conditioner for our entire stay, so we had to sleep with the sliding door open to get some air in. It was too stuffy not to. The telephone (which we found out later you needed to hit a special button to use) did not work, so I couldn’t call to complain about the noisy guests above us and across the pool area. The beds were hard as rocks. I don’t think we got a single good night sleep while we were there. I woke up with all sorts of aches and pains, not to mention the beds were incredibly small. My wife and I have a queen which with our cat we thought was small. This seemed like the smallest «full» bed we’ve ever slept on. We could not turn over at night without knocking each other to the side or even off the bed.
The restaurant they claimed to have was not open the entire time we were there, even though there was no sign saying it was closed. It was just not open during the hours listed on the door. The other guests were noisy as hell. The walls were incredibly thin so we got to hear our neighbors all night, if you catch my drift.
Needless to say, we ended up checking out a day early. Other than the hotel we had a lot of bad luck during our little getaway, especially with food in the area. Not much in the way of anything interesting to eat unless you’re cool with eating fried seafood all week. Also, there was no restaurants open past 9:30pm except for one, and it was awful. Got some mild food poisoning while we were there as well.
I’m sure our bad luck didn’t make our experience any better, but even with good luck I think this hotel (or «resort» as they want to call it) would have still been awful. I would not recommend it to anyone traveling to this area. There are a ton of other choices, although none of which I saw had a private beach, which was one of the few good things I can say about Riviera.
Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else.
