Cape Arundel Inn and Resort

My husband and I were exceedingly pleased with our stay at Cape Arundel. The entire team is delightful and we especially appreciated the warm reception and hospitality that Christie provided to us. Communication before our arrival was comprehensive and very helpful. Our room in the main building was beautifully decorated and afforded lovely views of the sea. It was very comfortable and quiet and we slept well. We only wish we could have stayed longer. While the bathroom was compact, it was laid out well to utilize the space and there was plenty of room for personal toiletries. We didn’t have breakfast but dinner at Ocean was excellent. The dining room is airy and elegant with killer views. Service was attentive and personable and the food and wine were excellent. We liked being able to construct our own menu from the different groups and decided to skip dessert and eat 3 savory courses.

Beautiful view from the main building, that’s the main attraction of this hotel. Not having seen the rooms in the main building I can’t comment on them but I can say the food in the Ocean dining room needs updating along with a new chef. I went for a supposed Mahjong workshop, which was nothing of the sort. It was 12 women in a room playing with the same people that they play with at home. No tips, no instruction, nothing. We stayed in the Clubhouse rooms which are a third of a mile from the main building and there are two levels with no elevator. The check in and recreational area are very close, however there is no staff present in the Clubhouse area so if there was an emergency you’d be out of luck. The rooms are a little dated and the bathrooms, towels, and washcloths are like from a Holiday Inn or prison. Needless to say, other then the view there is not much of a reason to stay at the Cape Arundel when there are so many options available.

Charming small boutique hotel with beautiful view overlooking the water. Not a lot of frills but typical for an older historic renovated home. Well maintained and friendly and courteous staff. Short walk to town of Kennebunkport. Overlooks Walker Point which is home to the Bush compound. Nice 4 star restaurant that also caters to non-guests. It was an ideal accommodation for a 2-3 night stay as part of our northeastern Fall Foliage trip. I would recommend this hotel if you looking for a lovely New England get away on the water.

The only way to describe the rooms at the clubhouse are .. total dump. Room smelled, we were right above the laundry and maintenance shed and the bathroom Was beyond disgusting. For that privilege we paid 400 dollars a night!!

We chose Cape Arundel Inn & Resort for a birthday weekend, but unfortunately our stay in the Club House did not come close to meeting expectations, especially for the price. The building felt dated and neglected. The room had a window air conditioner that made loud noise, stained dark carpeting, cracked walls, and spider webs in the shower. Overall, it lacked the quality and upkeep. The room had no view, and felt dark and depressing, to the point that we spent as much time away from it as possible and only returned when we were ready to sleep. One evening we returned around 9:30 p.m. and found that there were no parking spaces available. The Club House also feels detached from the rest of the resort. Although it's described as being about one-third of a mile from the Main House it was half a mile away and it doesn't even feel like part of the same property. I can't comment on the Main House since I didn't stay there. However, if you're considering this resort, I recommend confirming exactly which building you're reserving. Based on my experience, the Club House was a very poor value for the price.

The entire stay and accommodations were outstanding. The personal service we received was excellent. Bed was very comfortable and the view from the patio of the ocean and Walkers Point was great. We also used the complimentary bikes during our visit. I will definitely return.

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!

Pulled into the Inn only to find out we are booked in the clubhouse a mile away. Got in our room with nobody around to help....to a broken down chair, the bed looked like a toddler made it, the room/bathroom smells like MILDEW and NO CENTRAL AIR...a box unit in the window. I expected a bit more for $700+ a night. Disappointing.
