I went to the Nonantum Resort back in August and I really enjoyed my stay. The free breakfast buffett was very nice and convenient. The view of the water was nice and was a great backdrop for relaxing and just enjoying the weather dockside with a nice beer. The location of the resort was also nice not too far, walking... More

Hi Sandy: So glad you had a wonderful visit at The Nonantum Resort last August! Our guests favorite activity is the one you mention - sitting outside enjoying a beverage and the scenery! There are several new restaurants in town (and we have moved our restaurant in to a beautiful new space!) so it would be great if you could... More

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. That Patio you enjoyed is even nicer... More

Oh those wonderful October sunsets! They really are quite amazing! I hope that you will come back soon and enjoy more lobsters and more lovely sunsets. All times of year are beautiful at The Nonantum but I have to say watching the entire community come alive after a long winter is just such a happy time! The boats are back... More

We stayed at the hotel in April just after it had opened for the season. It is in a lovely location facing the river at Kennebunkport and convenient for beach and local restaurants and shops. It was however very quiet with just a handful of guests in what is a large hotel - this made it a little lacking in... More

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your recent visit. I have to agree, April in Kennebunkport is very quiet. However as you so correctly point out, rates are low and if you like peace and quiet it is the perfect place to be. I love walking the beach in April. The cool breezes and the sun on my face is...

Some reviews were making me nervous about the age of the hotel and wondered if my wife's 50th Birthday trip would disappoint, but it did not! We had Room 269 in the Portside lodge. The view down the river to the ocean was magnificent, and when it was high tide, we were 50 feet from the water. The balcony was... More

I took my Mother, who is ill, for a few days away. It was easy access for her & very easy to move around inside the room. The view was gorgeous! It could not have been more perfect & peaceful. The grounds are amazing and I would live here if I could, it was that nice!!!

The Nonantum Resort was more than we expected. It is nestled in an ideal spot in Kennebunkport, ME with breathtaking water views. You can go for a walk along the coast or take a stroll into town. The breakfast buffet was exceptional and the entire staff was welcoming and friendly.

My friend got married here last weekend - it was a wonderful stay. The rooms are not super modern, but well appointed and comfortable, some with beautiful views.
