Why settle for a hotel with a pool when you can stay in a great resort with a water park!

You can book a hotel with a pool, or you can book the Cape Codder Resort & Spa with an entire indoor/outdoor water park! The water attractions take up 30,000 square feet at the spacious resort and include two 160-foot high-speed slides; two slides that wind through a pirate ship; a 300-foot river with waterfalls, rapids and a spouting whale; and a wave pool with 2-foot waves, fountains and a water umbrella. The Pirate Cove Kiddie Play Pool for the little ones has a dumping bucket, water cannons and small water slides. The four-season outdoor heated pool is a quiet oasis during the day and a gorgeous light show at night. The resort also includes two restaurants and a full-service spa.
