Three of its five hotels got an upgrade.

Cape Cod travelers staying at Red Jacket Resorts this summer will reap the rewards of a $40 million renovation.

EOS Hospitality, which acquired the Red Jacket Resorts portfolio in 2021, has renovated three of its five South Yarmouth-based oceanfront hotels in time for the 2024 summer season: Red Jacket Beach Resort, Riviera Beach Resort, and Blue Water Resort.

The renovations came after extensive research into what families are seeking in travel accommodations, the company noted earlier this year.

As a result, vacationers will find changes in nearly 400 guest rooms, cottages, and family suites, restaurants, lobbies, pool experiences, and beachfront amenities across the three properties.

Red Jacket Beach Resort has updated its 163 rooms and added family-friendly suites complete with king beds and full-sized bunks with private nooks. Guests can also book entire homes with full hotel and amenity access that accommodate up to 12 guests.

All 125 rooms at Riviera Beach Resort were transformed and a Family Suite was added that sleeps up to eight people and boasts four queen beds. 

Blue Water Resort’s 109 rooms were also redesigned, and there’s a new Two Bed — Two Bunk Suite that sleeps up to eight people. Dog-friendly rooms are also available.

Renovated restaurants across the properties include Red Jacket Beach Resort’s Tides & Tavern, located between the pool and beach, and Crow’s Nest; Riviera Beach Resort’s The Deck and Boat Bar, and Blue Water Resort’s Four Beaches.

Four Beaches has “a snack shack and tiki bar feel with seasonal favorites and rolling views of the Nantucket Sound,” according to the team.

In the pool and beach areas, the renovated properties are sporting all-new daybeds and chaise lounges, updated landscaping, and new “summer-centric” amenities.

The company is beefing up its family-friendly programming and will reprise and introduce partnerships with brands such as Blue Man Group, Cisco Brewing, L.L. Bean, and the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox.

Cape Cod’s Hydrangea Festival, taking place July 5-14, will bring a week of special programming to the resorts. This summer, vacationers can also enjoy outdoor movies, beach yoga, pirate and nautical themed activities for kids, a video game truck, and more. Guests can check out all of the summer events on the resort’s calendar.

Returning to Red Jacket Resorts is the popular Sea Service at Red Jacket Beach Resort’s South Shore Drive private beach, billed as the mid Cape’s only on-the-beach food and beverage service.

Red Jacket Resorts includes five properties: Red Jacket Beach Resort, Blue Water Resort, Riviera Beach Resort, Green Harbor Resort, and Blue Rock Resort. The renovations are the first phase of a collection-wide renovation.
