What guests think

Across recent reviews, The Nonantum Resort is praised for its waterfront setting, walkable location, and exceptionally friendly staff, with the generous included breakfast a standout; families appreciate abundant activities while couples enjoy relaxing views and outdoor spaces.

Common highlights include waterfront lawns with Adirondack chairs and fire pits, a shuttle and walkable access to town, family programs and kids club, bikes and kayaks, and a pool, plus on site dining that many find convenient. Recurring drawbacks are thin walls and event noise on some nights, occasional dated or smaller rooms with maintenance hiccups, sporadic housekeeping misses, and a few comments about limited EV charging or a chilly, modest sized pool. Overall, it suits travelers seeking relaxed New England charm with plenty to do on site.

Great family hotel with excellent activities and crafts for the kids. They loved the crabbing. Breakfast and dinner were very good. Overall it is a very nice property that is well maintained and of the five hotels on our trip it is the one the kids most want to visit again.

I love the location of this property. They offer many activities with a dock on the property for ease of kayaking and taking a boat tour. Bikes are also available and the area is a great biking town. The rooms in the original building are a bit small but well maintained and the bathrooms are all updated and have the needed amenities. It’s also a lovely spot to watch the sunset across the river. It’s a good family resort.

I would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Kennebunkport. 5+++ Also a beautiful wedding venue.

My husband and I loved our accommodations, however, we did not like two things. There was a light on our balcony that shone right up n us and into our room at night. We would have normally sat outside to enjoy the view/stars but the light was very intrusive so we did not sit outside. Also, the housekeeping seemed rushed as they did not vacuum (crumbs still on the floor from the night before after they cleaned) and not enough towels.

Breakfast was incredible. The best we’ve had in the US to date. Location was beautiful. Sadly our room faced onto the trash area and our room wasn’t serviced the next day. Felt our room was neglected from housekeeping as we weren’t part of either of the wedding parties hosted here over the weekend (although we were advised weddings were taking place). Apart from that, it’s in a fantastic spot. Very relaxing stay.

There are a lot of places to stay in Kennebunkport. Stop wasting your time reading my review of this place and book somewhere else! If you like load music until late into the night, this is the hotel for you! If you like the idea of having a room directly above an events center, stay here. Because, as the front desk staff told me when I checked in “it shouldn’t be a problem”. And a special shoutout to the manager. The “Gen Z stare” was awesome. Seriously, it was hilarious! And woe be to any guest staying in room 217. There is an air conditioning or refrigeration unit just outside the window that is on its last legs. It will regularly produce an irritating vibration throughout the room. So when the music ends, this just keeps annoying! To be fair, the food and the staff at Heckman’s, the bar at the hotel, were 5 star! So, that’s it, my review. You have been warned! Hey, the review is over. Go on, book a room somewhere else!

Talked with front desk at checkout and said they couldn’t explain it. Well…we were right next to the employee elevator so that explains it. Wouldn’t recommend for the price. Older property and has the wear and tear.

Stunning property. Fantastic breakfast. Will definitely be back. However you hear everything there. The child next to us screamed for an hour before it fell asleep keeping us awake as well as you can hear everyone walking and talking down the hall. They do provide noise makers in the room but still. Beds and rooms very comfortable.

I called the front desk twice. They stopped once and then started again and the cops were called. Cops did nothing and front desk did nothing. I guess you all like guest like that. Will be telling as many people as possible not to stay at your hotel.
