This mid-range resort is well-suited for families and groups on summer vacation, with cottages and large suites in addition to standard rooms. Even the standard rooms are spacious, but they vary from recently refurbished to decidedly dated, and the rates reflect the property's oceanfront location. The resort features a private beach, indoor and outdoor pools, and seasonal activities for kids. Guests also have access to amenities at the property's four sister resorts nearby. There is a definite focus on families here, especially during July and August, so couples looking for a romantic getaway may want to skip this resort.

The 33-room Surfcomber on the Ocean offers simple accommodations on a private beach near downtown Hyannis. From the outside, it's a charming Cape Cod motel with gray wood shingle siding and white painted trim. An expansive, well-maintained lawn sits at the heart of the property, with a pool in the middle and unobstructed views to the Atlantic Ocean. Rooms are clean, simple, and well-appointed for a budget motel, including free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and most feature ocean-view balconies. However, with few points of interest within walking distance, most guests will need to make the 10-minute drive downtown for dining and shopping. The similarly-appointed Tidewater Inn is a cheaper, more centrally located alternative, however, it lacks a beach.

Located within a 10-minute drive of Hyannis’ bustling tourist center, Cape Cod Irish Village offers easy access to the town’s many restaurants, shops, and bars. Inside, the decor is dated and not entirely Irish (despite the preponderance of green and a few Celtic flags) -- it doesn't really fit with the area’s quaint, beachy vibe. Still, it's a popular pick with families, and standard amenities in each of its 124 rooms include mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs. This two-pearl hotel has two pools, an outdoor tiki bar, a playground, game room, and a lively Irish pub. However, the aging room furnishings and overall lack of attention to detail are disappointing. For a better alternative, check rates at the charming, beachfront Surfcomber on the Ocean, though prices will likely be higher.

This resort is casual and decidedly mid-range, from its no-frills guest rooms to its plainly furnished spa. But the waterfront location means rates aren't as cheap as many would expect, given the dated accommodations. This property is still a decent pick for families, as it features a beautiful private beach, indoor and outdoor pools, family-friendly guest rooms, a free kids' club, and tons of activities for children and adults. With a definite focus on families here during the summer months, travelers looking for a romantic getaway or serene surroundings should probably stay elsewhere, such as the Blue Rock Golf Resort sister property.

This family-oriented resort offers a laid-back atmosphere and plenty of child-friendly features, such as a seasonal kids' club, a private beach, and two pools. The outdoor pool with mushroom-shaped fountain and bridge is especially popular with the kids. Decor in many of the rooms is somewhat dated, and rates reflect the property's beachfront location. Also, Riviera Beach Resort does not offer the spacious cottages that can be rented at some of its sister properties nearby. With the definite focus on families here during the high season, child-free travelers would probably prefer to stay elsewhere.

The highlight of this three-pearl hotel is its waterfront location overlooking Nantucket Bay -- plus it has a lovely stretch of beach right outside its doors. A car is necessary to get around the area, but it's just a 15-minute drive to Hyannis and its shops, restaurants, and ferries to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. The property offers both indoor and outdoor pools, and though there's no dining option on-site, all rooms have kitchenettes -- but note that cooking/dining-ware is not provided. Decor is pleasant and many rooms have lovely private balconies or large patios furnished with seating. Note that this seasonal hotel is closed from mid-October to mid-May. For something with more extras, check out the Riviera Beach Resort, which has a kids' club plus access to features at four of its sister properties.

This 44-room resort sits on the championship Blue Rock Golf Course in the midst of a quiet residential neighborhood. The 18-hole course is the main highlight, although this mid-range hotel also offers a heated pool, casual restaurant with adjacent lounge, and access to amenities at the property's four sister resorts nearby. This hotel is usually a bit more serene that its sister properties, and tends to attract more couples than families. Although it offers tranquil surroundings, the resort's inland location means there are no ocean views. The rooms are very dated, with low-quality comforters.
