I enjoyed the sands… Beds are good..
The pools are nice… They have a lovely fire pit at night time in the back… You can see the water… It’s lovely for what you pay for it for sure!! But definitely nothing fancy..

You cannot beat the value of the Cape Sands Inn - for the price, it was excellent! The proximity to a neighboring resort was a big selling point for us, since our family was staying there.
Pros:
- Very spacious room with living area
- Very comfortable bed
- Beautiful water view available
- Mini-fridge in room
- Pump soap, shampoo, conditioner available in room
- Very clean overall
- Proximity to stores and restaurants
Cons:
- Limited parking (with a few spaces that are very hard to get in and out of)
- Humid rooms
- Stained shower curtain

Great for the price
I stayed at the hotel for two weeks. The staff is incredibly friendly. There is an indoor pool and jacuzzi as well as an outdoor pool. It's right on the main road yet quiet. Right behind it is a verry pretty body of water with ducks. It's an hour from Plymouth and an hour from Provincetown. There is a lot to do. The only thing that could have made it better is if they offered some kind of breakfast. The only bad thing is that people who didn't belong there would park there at night making parking difficult if you came back to your room late at night.

Cape Sands Inn is located within a reasonable distance from the nursing home where both of my elderly parents reside in South Yarmouth. I was satisfied with the springtime rate and enjoyed the water view and hot tub when I wasn't spending time with them.
