    We stayed at the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport and had a great experience. The property sits right on the river and even offers water sports activities. It's about a 15-minute walk to the village, which is very convenient. In the evenings, the firepits are lit, and relaxing in the Adirondack chairs is the perfect way to end the day. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety along with fresh bakery items and daily changes. The manager, Pete, was outstanding. He was approachable, helpful, and had great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The on-site restaurant, Attitudes, serves some of the best clam chowder we've EVER had. Overall, a beautiful resort with lovely accommodations, service and food--makes for a memorable stay.

    We just had a very nice stay at the Nonamtum resort. There were very big pluses. The resort has an incredible view of the sea and the dock where a lot of tours are available for the public. I have yet to go on one. There is a great space for kids to run around with some activities such as cornhole, yoga, and of course the swimming pool. You can rent out kayaks and paddle boardsfrom the activity center. This is actually a very good family resort for all ages especially small kids. I had fun but my only wish it was more designated for adults and the pool is very small which targeted a lot of children.... When I get in the pool they seem to swim towards me. Oh well. The other plus is there is an amazing understated restaurant overlooking the pool and sea view. Latitudes was surprisingly delicious. Omg! I really loved the grilled shrimp the tuna lobster and scallops. They passed all flying colors with me and they should really do something about formal dining at least in an incredible lawn area designated for fine dining... it would totally work. I did not expect the high cuisine level but it did come recommended by Pete at the front desk who was a complete gentleman! He was very personal and answered all sorts of questions. The minuses of the resort is tthere is no gym facility and I could hear footsteps in the room I was staying in which would explain the free ear plugs they provide you in the hotel room. But our room had an incredible water view so I saw serenity. I really liked my balcony space. Lastly, the big plus for this hotel was the inclusive breakfast which comes with your room rate. I loved the portions but the breakfast was a hit or miss...the first day the hash browns were dried and hard and the next day the waffles were hard and dried. What went well was my quiche, the corn hash, the sausages, the fresh berries, and zucchini bread... Very satisfying. I also love the friendly's faces and good attitudes of the staff. I like them... all very happy and sweet. There were also a lot of functions happening while we were there over the weekend. Clearly they make good business here. I think that I would be okay coming back here but if they only had a quiter designated place for adult dining.. it would totally work outdoors. Also the room rate over the summer weekend is pricey.

    5 stars for exactly what I was looking for!Not too fancy but not budget either. Appropriately priced. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and were very friendly overall. Nonantum sits in the perfect location. It's in between Walker's Point and downtown Kennybunkport. It's also close to Colony beach. We walked and biked everywhere! No need to drive to dinner if in town. 95 ocean restaurant at the resort is an unforgettable experience itself. Breakfast included and excellent. Unfortunately, our lobster boat was cancelled due to strong winds. However, the general manager gave us a private walking history tour which made up for it! She was so personable and made us love Nonantum even more! The walking tour is free and upon request. Overall I felt very safe here during the pandemic. The hotel has limited capacity. It's very clean and social distancing is in place. Pool reservations are required (but easily obtainable). This place was so refreshing after coming from a jam packed Bar Harbor. Highly recommend! We will likely book again in the future!

    Beautiful, incredibly comfortable king size bed with a deck overlooking the ocean

    This is by far the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. Every staff member we interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was absolutely stunning, the views are incredible. They have an outstanding breakfast buffet each morning. You can go out on a boat and see lobster trapped, there are bikes to rent, canoes, activities for kids. It's also in walking distance to lots of cute shops downtown.

    This is our absolute favorite place to stay when vacationing in Kennebunkport. The entire staff from the front desk, hostesses, bartenders, wait staff are all pleasant and most helpful at all times. We have stayed at the Nonantum about 6 times now and never a negative experience. Beautiful, inviting grounds, serene front porch, fun bar and reataurant areas.. We hope to return soon.

    Earplugs on nightstand. Absolutely absurd at $400+ a night.

    ROOM WAS SO LOUD! We could hear everything in lobby, hallway, and street. First hotel I've stayed in ever that offers earplugs on nightstand! Seriously absurd, when the fee was $400+. Would have never booked this place had anyone said they give you earplugs because they can't do proper noise cancellation in the overpriced rooms. Absolutely cannot recommend this place.

    Nice front lawn

    We loved our stay at the Nonantum Resort! This is an awesome historical hotel located about 3/4 of a mile from Kennebunkport. It is a leisurely walk to any of the local attractions / restaurants or you can take the complimentary shuttle around town. The grounds are very well maintained and the whole place is decorated with a unique flair. The staff is the key to the Nonamtum experience. Everyone is friendly and willing to do anything to make your stay great. Kids have tons of activities to do and the teenage staff is excellent with children. Crabbing, dance parties, smores and craft sessions are all avaiavle to entertain youngsters while adults can relax. There are all the basics of a full service resort here including: pool, restaurant, bar, concierge, lounge, etc. The breakfast buffet is outstanding and including in your rate. Food from the bar was also good and drinks were reasonable priced ($7 beers). The views of the water are awesome and there are plenty of Adirondack chairs to sit around and lounge in. We upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite. This was a good move as a standard room would have been way too small! The rooms in the main hotel were built over 100 years ago, so people are way bigger now. We didn't spend much time in the room beyond sleeping as there was so much to do. We paid over $450 a night in August, but it was well worth it in my opinion. This is an awesome family resort! I highly recommend staying here!

The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, and the daily breakfast is generous and delicious. We also loved the thoughtful extras: a cozy tea bar, complimentary bikes, beach towels, and even Tommy Bahama chairs for the beach. Those little touches made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Location is great--close to a small beach and also the town. There are several restaurants even closer you can walk to as well. If you're looking for a place in Kennebunkport that truly goes above and beyond, the Harbor Inn is it.

During the peak season, rooms were at a minimum everywhere as expected, yet after much digging, we called and booked the private cottage at $700+ a night. We were told it was updated, new furnishings, etc, etc... The cottage is located just off the parking lot along a shared dock to the ocean. Sounds pretty, yet upon entering the cottage, it smelled of furnitire sealant or something peculiar. I travel with an air purifier and I'm glad I brought it because I wouldn't have been able to make stay the 3 nights without it. I wanted to leave, yet my partner wanted to bear through it :( The room seems cute with the windows around the cottage overlooking the water, yet you're on stilts and literally on the water with people walking by getting to the boats, etc. No real privacy. The bathroom was not new, it may have been updated years ago, yet it definitely needed some attention and the kitchen could have used a makeover. Knicks and dents in cabinets, as well as black mold found under the sink. The manager was alerted about it at the end of our trip when i found it, all he said was 'sorry about that" ( insert ridiculously annoyed emoji) With that said, on our second day, while in the cottage around 2pm we hearing faint knock on the door. I started walking up.to the door and there stood a woman and a couple entering our cottage. The woman with the keys and pad & pen says, " Oh you're in here."... Uh duh! Yes I rented the place! I assumed she wanted to show the cottage to the couple for an event, yet why not just call and ask if she could take a moment of our time. The whole experinece was disrespectful and unprofessional!
