Reviews for Inn by the Sea
Picture-perfect hotel in Cape Elizabeth!
Picture-perfect hotel in Cape Elizabeth, warm and welcoming staff, and delicious food. Great experience overall and looking forward to a return visit next month!

Some of the best meals I have had
Food was a particular highlight (lobster pasta, burrata and peaches, salads, cocktails). I also thought my massage by Jake was one of the best I have ever had.

Not for real-life kids and dogs
One of the older, male staff members openly talked about how my pup "woke him up" that morning as we were out for a walk. I confronted him and he lied to my face. The staff are not emotionally trained to tolerate children or animals. This location is great if you're single or a grandparent with a small, yippy dog visiting grandchildren that are "seen but not heard". Morning breakfast in the restaurant is eerily silent, and "family friendly morning yoga" is not something I'd feel comfortable bringing my two year old to. I feel as if this is a swanky inn trying to "keep up with the times" but does not have the capacity to to fully embrace the range of visitors it says it does. I regret not doing more research and coming to an understanding that this location is too pretentious to accommodate my dog and toddler.

The Team at the Inn by the Sea is EXCEPTIONAL.
This resort is as good as it comes. We had exceptional service on every level even though we only stayed one evening. Alex at the front desk created a memorable experience of excellent service for us, as did other team members.

Maine---but with the best beach experience!
The view, the location and the gorgeous grounds are always welcome. The staff always are friendly and supportive. If you need a nice beach experience in Maine, there is no other better option!
