Waves Oceanfront Resort

You can see the ocean over the other buildings & can walk easily to the beach. Had a nice balcony.

Rooms are clean and staff is very present on site. The rooms are a tad dated with the bathroom and kitchen area but that’s to be expected in an older beach town. The location is key if you have kids. It’s right on the beach with a short walk between the grass to get to your setup. Great for bathroom breaks and grabbing snacks from your room. Along with that you are a short walk to the pier where all the action is for kids. But far enough down from where all the mass public parking is that your beach area is quite uncrowded vs the pier areas. Staying at one of the properties allows you access to three different pools at the other hotels which are all next to each other which is great. But here is where the decision making gets strange. The pool at waves which is by far the most child accessible pool of them all goes to adults only from 8-10pm. This is the only pool out of all of them with a walk in step area that’s easier for kids to navigate. So I really can’t comprehend why out of the three pools this one is the one they pick to be adults only. Also I mean realistically if you are staying in old orchard you have kids with you. We found this out when we were turned away and I saw that there were zero adults in the pool on this particular sat night. So maybe that’s a policy that should be looked at and maybe shifted to the pool at ocean house which has no stairs for entry.

Loved everything about our stay! Location was perfect. Use of multiple pools: fantastic to find the perfect vibe! Clean rooms, helpful and friendly staff! 10/10, can’t wait to stay again!

This property is right on the beach, which is convenient to catch an early morning sunrise. It is old and dated, but well-maintained. I would stay here again.
