"This resort is absolutely fabulous for a family getaway. There is so much for the kids to do, the breakfast is wonderful, the staff is kind and accommodating, and there are so many extra perks like shuttle services, live music, and crabbing for kids that other resorts in the area do not offer. The setting is also beautiful with the water and boats along the large grassy land with impeccable floral landscaping. My only complaint is that the pool area..."

"Will 100% be coming back here one day. Wow. I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels around the world and this was definitely a top favorite. It seems right out of a Hallmark movie especially during the fall! The lobby has a romantic feel with a piano player at night, the rooms are a nice size, the resort has Adirondack chairs overlooking the water, mums everywhere. If this hotel in Kennebunkport is not on your list, it should be."

"Where do I even begin? The Nonantum not only hosted our wedding but executed my lifelong wedding dreams beyond anything I could have imagined. I am truly still in awe of the magic they created; I didn't think anyone could execute my vision, but they went above and beyond in every way. First and foremost, a massive thank you to our incredible wedding coordinator, Meaghan. She is simply phenomenal—a true visionary and professional who ensured every single detail was perfect..."

"Beautiful resort, just down the street from the ocean. The breakfasts here are fabulous. And buffet. You might not need lunch! The hotel itself is beautifully preserved and has an elegant touch to it. It was decked out in holiday garb and almost felt like going back in time. Especially when we walked in: fire in the fireplace, friendly greeting, someone at the piano playing classic tunes…these guys know how to run a hotel."

"This resort was stunning, both the grounds and facilities. The highlight for my wife and I was working with Louise at the front desk. Louise was exceptional in booking my stay and for recommendations. Louise helped me book a room that met my desires and it did not disappoint. I also worked with Louise for local dining recommendations, day and night time activities along with planning the best scenic routes while traveling around the area. Louise was a wealth of..."

"It was great for a family vacation. We were there with our 3 and 6 year old and there were activities on site for both of them. Easily walkable to Kennebunkport but if you don't want to walk, there is a shuttle that will drive you there and pick you up. The breakfast is fantastic and is included."
