We had a great Spring Break and Birthday week at this resort. It was our second time staying at the Harborside Hotel, Spa & Marina, and the experience remains very consistent. However, we have to give special accolades to this year's team whom made our experience even more memorable! Special thanks to Jennifer, Kari and Angelina at Guest Services, and Angel and Ray Ray at La Bella Vita Restaurant and Bar! Nevertheless, our interactions with every member of the staff were always positive, and made us feel at home! Can't wait to go back! Best regards, The Vidal Family

My wife and I slipped away for a two day weekend staycation after a brief 2 hour drive up the scenic Maine coast. We arrived in the afternoon in time to check into a spacious harbor view king and headed for Bar Island to take our Chocolate Lab for a walk and sweeping view of Frenchmen’s Bay. We walked into the lobby with a nice aroma from a burning Nest candle and luxuriously furnished sitting area. We had the pleasure of meeting Kali, their very energetic friendly GM, who recommended the Side Street Cafe where we had a delicious dinner in a casual atmosphere full of locals. Our pet friendly room was comfortable and very clean, allowing us to walk right outside. We were surprised walking toward Cottage Street, as we ran into the fun filled “bed race” hosted annually by the Chamber of Commerce. We had a popover and crepes at Stadium before heading for a walk with our dog Stella. At La Bella Vita on the second night we had a pizza and sat at the bar. The bartender was the best as was the food, and the place was packed with a wait. I would rate this and Kali a “Varsity” experience all the way, hey, hey hey!

Our family had a wonderful experience! We reserved a two bedroom for our family of six and it was so nice! 2 kings and a pull out sofa. 2 bathrooms including a huge tub! Wonderful Nest bath products. The beach was lots of fun for the kids, as was the heated pool and hot tub. Swimming under the stars on Bar Harbor was something I’ll never forget! We had a lovely dinner at the Italian restaurant off of the lobby, good service and good food. We had a Nespresso machine in our suite, which is something I always value in a hotel. The front desk was helpful and eager to serve, and when I had a housekeeping request they were very prompt. I hope we return again soon!

Beautiful setting. Beautiful lobby and entrance. The fireplace was a favorite spot after dinner each night. The room was very spacious and nice. Had a view of the water. Breakfast in hotel restaurant ach morning, very good. WE had a lovely stay. Our first visit to Maine.

Amazing place. Beautiful view. Quiet and clean. I would absolutely go back. Loved it! The staff was attentive and made our stay wonderful! The bed is very comfortable and the hotel is close to everything in town. The staff makes it simple by checking in to see if you need anything through texts.
