At a Glance
This contemporary property caters to families and despite being small, has the amenities one would expect from a much larger resort.
Review
In 2012, the Nantucket Hotel & Resort opened in the place of the historic Point Breeze Hotel, featuring completely refurbished accommodations and a modern design scheme. With just 11 rooms and 26 suites, the hotel did not need to invest so heavily in public spaces and amenities, but the extras go a long way. The lowest floor is all public space, with a Kids Club, game room, laundry facility available to guests and a massive gym with daily classes. The property features two outdoor pools, and a complimentary shuttle service to the nearby beaches.
Accommodations range from simple guest rooms to one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom suites, and almost all are unique. Suites have full kitchenettes and many have in-unit washer/dryers, and carefully designed pullout beds that actually add to the well-thought out accommodations. The service is lovely, and guests with small children will appreciate the hands-on staff. For a small additional fee, the Kids Club will stay open at night for babysitting services and include dinner for the children, so parents can explore the island on their own. Even if they only make it as far as the on-site restaurant, Breeze Bar & Cafe, the casual but chic eatery—with outdoor seating and fire pits—is the perfect setting for a romantic meal.
Who Should Stay
Families who want tons of kid-friendly amenities.
