Cape Arundel Inn & Resort

This was our second year staying in an ocean view bungalow. As soon as we entered the room, I remembered why I disliked the room during our previous stay. On the upside, the view is spectacular, the staff is very accommodating, and the location is superb. On the “needs improvement” list, for $1,000 a night, I would expect management to clean the badly stained rug, install WiFi extenders, and upgrade the mattress. The bathroom is painfully small, but I could manage it with some creativity. I spent a day at the pool located at The Clubhouse. It was lovely, but there were loud construction noises all day from a contiguous property. It’s a bit frustrating that management has not addressed the ocean view bungalow deficiencies which could be easily remedied.

Fabulous location, but overrated and overpriced. I booked this Inn using points, otherwise we would not have stayed here due to the high cost of our room. The room was very nice, and we had a full view of the ocean. But rack rate in shoulder season…$600-plus? No, not worth that. The staff was helpful and cheerful. The breakfasts were very good. The dining room is gorgeous, with big windows looking out to the ocean. We had dinner once here, and would not recommend it except that it was convenient. Fixed price, three or four courses, incredibly over-priced average food. Aside from the scallop appetizer, the rest of the meal was so-so in my and my partner’s opinions. In contrast, we had a fabulous meal at Chez Rosa in the town of Kennebunkport that cost less than half what we paid at the Arundel — with wine and desserts.

This was our third visit to Cape Arundel Inn which is now my pick for my birthday getaway each year. I can’t imagine a more beautiful, relaxing place. The staff is extremely hospitable and everything is so relaxing- from the glass of Prosecco offered upon arrival, to the beautiful piped in music. Our favorite thing is to sit by the bay window on the main floor with a martini and small bites. It is so enjoyable to take in the ocean views, rocky coastline, and comforting fireplace on chilly days.

Absolutely amazing! We stayed in the main building in the junior suite with fireplace and superb views of the ocean/Walker Point! Everything about the Cape Arundel Inn exudes elegance and relaxation. The staff are clearly highly trained and so helpful and polite. The personal touches are very nice and are a nice enhancement to the overall experience. I love Kennebunkport and I adore the Cape Arundel Inn! Their on-site restaurant Ocean is also five stars, absolutely delicious! Make a reservation for Ocean ahead of time and ask for a table by a window, it’s gorgeous! We will definitely be back!

Cape Arundel Inn was an incredible experience. Antonio and Albert were nothing short of accommodating. We had to rearrange our trip at the last minute and they helped to ensure the stay was unforgettable. When we arrived, they recommended restaurants, offered us champagne and made us feel very welcome. Our junior suite was extremely clean, with a large king size bed, and fireplace. The views from the room were sensational. We were celebrating a birthday, and they gifted us a bottle of Prosecco and macarons. We would highly recommend the inn and will be back soon!
