Cape Arundel Inn & Resort

This is our second time staying at Cape Arundel and we know for sure we will be back! It is a charming inn - the location on Ocean Avenue with the dramatic view of the ocean was gorgeous! The sea crest rooms overlooking the water were cozy and charming! The best part of this place is the service - kudos to Christy and Shirin for exemplary service- going above and beyond at every step. We wanted to take some home made blueberry jam back with us and they provided us with a gift bag with the jams. Our rooms were a bit chilly and Christy left us a heater with a note. There is tea and coffee always available and free bottled water. The Ocean restaurant is excellent - we had a fabulous 3 course dinner and since we were 5 of us we got to taste many dishes. If there is one constructive feedback - I would say the following - we were disappointed with the baked goods provided at breakfast - the croissant was doughy-seemed like it was from a box that had been defrosted and the blueberry muffin was sad too! On the other hand, the yogurt with granola and berries and the avocado toast were excellent. All in all it was an amazing stay and we will be back again!

The hospitality at The Arundel Inn truly was the warmest I have ever experienced! Christy, the host, is wonderful-- she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome; everything was handled with warmth and care. Albert, the concierge, also is kind and very helpful.

We decided to stay here last minute on our anniversary. The minute we walked in, it was so warm and inviting. The fireplace was lit, wine and cheese were laid out. We had an room with a gorgeous view of the ocean and the garden. It was so nice to be close to the main town center, yet far enough from all the traffic going through the center. Breakfast in the gorgeous dining room was perfect and our server was so sweet. She did a great job. We will stay there again if we are in the area.

I was a little hesitant to book here after reading a few reviews. I did a ton of research on the Kennebunkport hotels, but ultimately settled here. I am so glad that we did. We stayed in an ocean front bungalow with king, bed and fireplace and it was absolutely beautiful. We could not have asked for a more gorgeous view. The room was beautifully decorated with hardwood floors the bathroom, although a bit small was perfectly fine for a short stay. We had breakfast in the restaurant and the food was delicious as well as a gorgeous view while eating. The staff was very attentive. Anything we needed they brought right away. I am admittedly a hotel snob so this very much met my expectations. They do not offer to help you with your bags to your room upon check-in so just to note I had my husband and did not need any extra help but if you do it is not offered, maybe upon request. The only two things I would recommend is that there needs to be more than two towels put in the bathroom. Every hotel, including a Holiday Inn express gives you at least 4 towels . We requested more towels, and they did bring them immediately. The one other thing I would recommend is getting rid of the area rug in t the room. I had actually saw another person mention the rug in their review and they are right it is a bit stained and really takes away from the beautiful decor of the room. It is not needed. The hardwood floors are beautiful as well as the other furnishings in the room. I am an interior designer and it really does cheapen the look of the room.

Beautiful location with great views that made for a peaceful comfortable stay. Helpful personnel. But I think my best memory of Cape Arundel Inn will be the watercolor class with Diane. They sent us home with a gift bag with chocolate covered blueberries and gummy lobsters!
