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.

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.

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.

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.

This was our third visit to Cape Arundel Inn which is now my pick for my birthday getaway each year. I can’t imagine a more beautiful, relaxing place. The staff is extremely hospitable and everything is so relaxing- from the glass of Prosecco offered upon arrival, to the beautiful piped in music. Our favorite thing is to sit by the bay window on the main floor with a martini and small bites. It is so enjoyable to take in the ocean views, rocky coastline, and comforting fireplace on chilly days.

Absolutely amazing! We stayed in the main building in the junior suite with fireplace and superb views of the ocean/Walker Point! Everything about the Cape Arundel Inn exudes elegance and relaxation. The staff are clearly highly trained and so helpful and polite. The personal touches are very nice and are a nice enhancement to the overall experience. I love Kennebunkport and I adore the Cape Arundel Inn! Their on-site restaurant Ocean is also five stars, absolutely delicious! Make a reservation for Ocean ahead of time and ask for a table by a window, it’s gorgeous! We will definitely be back!
