We enjoyed our stay at the Nonantum Resort this weekend. We were pleased that it had the charm of a Bed & Breakfast and yet more modern comforts and amenities that not all B&B's have (such as private bathrooms, large room with king size bed (that's what we purchased anyway), in-room Kuerig coffee machine and etc). Comfortable room with great... More

My girl-friend and I went to this resort in early May (still off season) on our way back from Bar Harbor to Boston. Once we found the right exit from Kennebunk, the resort was easy enough to find. It's quite a large complex, and sits right next to the river/estuary, so quite a few of the rooms have very nice... More

I am so sorry to hear you found our building to be noisy! From your information I cannot figure out what room you were in so I am a little unsure as to exactly what the issues were. It does sound like maybe you had a bit of a noisy neighbor! We are very interested in learning where the noisy... More

Spent one overnight at the Nonantum for a working dinner. The food was very good, the service was excellent, and the bed was ultra comfortable. The room was not set up well to work - they had WiFi but no work space which was a mild disadvantage. The views and the sunset from the group dining room was incredible.

Hello Deborah: It is wonderful that you had such a nice visit with us! The sunsets this time of year really are quite magnificent! The food is (as always) way too good and as you can imagine eating it every day has required me to extend my gym time! I hope you will have a chance to come back and... More

My husband and I stayed at the Nonantum for a mini honeymoon this past week. The first room we were given was not what we were expecting (a family member had upgraded our room, which moved us to the third floor), however, Michael at the front desk kindly moved us to another room, which I must say, was perfect.

I went to the Nonantum Resort back in August and I really enjoyed my stay. The free breakfast buffett was very nice and convenient.

We visited in late April and found this hotel very nice & clean. We had a nice patio where we could walk out onto the lawn. Staff was very helpful in recommending restaurants. Very good breakfast, too. Right on the river with nice view,

Thanks so much for your kind review. We opened for the season on the 18th of April and we started with a bang! We have been delighted by the many folks who have come to Kennebunkport to shake off the winter blues! Each day the lawns get greener and the flowers more beautiful.
