Cape Codder Resort in Hyannis, Massachusetts

Family amenities at the Cape Codder Resort start with the resort’s invigorating indoor water park. Try spa treatments and check out the live music on weekends. Standard rooms range from parking lot to water park views, and all have a small fridge, free WiFi and the option for room service. Big families will want a Family Suite, which sleeps up to 6 with one bedroom, two bathrooms, queen pull-out sofabed and dining room that doubles as a Murphy bed. Talk about a place to spread out for a New England fall family beach vacation!

Families who are huddled inside during the school week will most appreciate the fun waterpark, covered for use in all seasons. Recent reviews note that some of the slides are not working as expected, but it’s well managed by the lifeguard staff. Attractions include an indoor wave pool and slides — including a three-story play lighthouse — waterfalls, whirlpools, saunas and a pirate-themed kiddie pool. There’s a “stormy” lazy river and, for dry play, a games room with arcade. There’s also a heated outdoor pool open year round. The small spa does mother-daughter pedicures. Perfect for a chilly Cape Cod weekend.

Available now through the fall, based on availability, are several packages that include meals, spa discounts and other perks to enjoy the resort during the colder off season.  

For a $332 per night, for example, a double queen room sleeping four (or five if you pay the $20 extra cot fee) also includes a $10 meal voucher and four passes to the waterpark complex. You’ll need to use a AAA or AARP membership to get this rate — ideal for a grandparent – grandchild getaway or a skip-gen weekend.

The website has more details on Haunted Weekend packages with Saturday night trick or treating in October; call 855/861-4370 to verify dates.  Also, don’t forget to read up on FTF’s articles for nearby attractions and more information on the Cape Cod area.

  • The greatest time to travel to Alaskan

    The greatest time to travel to Alaskan was during summer because the days are longer and the weather is warmer.
    Relax on your spacious terrace as your opulent cruise liner passes creaky blue-white glaciers and verdant forests.
