The staff were very friendly especially the young lady working in the bar. The in is about a mile out of town so dining options were limited unless one is happy to drive out. The walk into town is no problem ( for us) through the day but a bit far on an unlit road. The room was very small however that was only an issue as we took all of our cases up ) 2 large one hand luggage).

Dirty, rude staff, outdated hotels. We were in the building away from the office and there was no staff present the entire time we were there. A dead roach was by the staircase leading to the rooms for the 3 days we stayed. Not worth the price, definitely not how they advertise themselves.

The beauty of visiting this site off season is getting to book an amazing room with a deck view allowing you to enjoy the spectacular view of the river and beach cove. This was our first visit to Breakwater Inn and spa. There are many positives to our stay. 1. Simple and easy desk check in. (Old school keys for your door) 2. Great restaurant across the street Mabel’s 3. Clean surroundings with easy access to parking. 3. Room was clean and elegantly decorated in nautical colors/ decor. However , a few things which were mentioned in previous review posts should be considered before booking. Definitely do some research on room cost. I definitely paid too much money per night for a hotel which can do with updating to modern hotel cost. Updates to start with, please remove the dirty stain carpet with hard wood floors leading to the rooms near the restaurant. Dirty carpet cost you an excellent 5 star review. Update the doors lock and bathrooms. Give the deck some new paint and power wash or new deck. And do something about the paper thin walls or fix the beds. If traveling to Breakwaters Inn and Spa off season and off days, you may miss the opportunity to enjoy the restaurant attached to the Inn and the Spa service days are selective. Overall, Breakwater Inn and Spa, was definitely a good place to getaway from the busy city life. If you looking for a place close to water with a great view quiet, safe and approximate location to other fun destinations.

Property was quite old. Check in was a block from the accommodations. No valet or help with luggage. Restaurant was closed so had to drive. Our room was 2 flights up a steep stairwell….2 68 year olds dragging 50 lb suitcases up nasty, stained carpeted stairs. Room was nice but hot…couldn’t get air to a comfortable temp. End of day, I wouldn’t pay what we did for that facility.

nice
it was nice, the heater did not work well, there was no breakfast provided. we stayed on the second floor it was a little tricky to get the luggage cart up the elevator and the hallways were very narrow. the view for the spa building is really different from the other building, which the view from the other building is what is used on the web site.

Great hotel
Nice location at the mouth of the Kennebunkport River as it empties into the Atlantic. Very large room - we stayed in the Inn section. Free bikes which enables covering most all of Kennebunkport to take pictures.

It was a pleasant stay although the rooms are extremely outdated and in desperate need of a renovation. However the area around it is beautiful with lots of things to do.

Best view ever!
The BEST view we've ever had in any hotel anywhere! Absolutely stunning view of moored fishing boats, the breakwater, beach and open ocean. Lovely lawn with Adirondack chairs and fire pits plus free bikes to use anytime. A wonderful, relaxing and beautiful stay. Easy walk to the charming town.

Beautiful location and very clean. Bed was super comfy and had great sheets. Our room was very spaciuos, and I appreciated the white robes. The coffee downstairs was amazing. Minor complaints…barely worth mentioning…no place to plug in a ISB charging cord. Typically lamps or outlets will also have USB charging ports, but there were none. Also, it would be nice to have a small Continental breakfast. There are places to go in town or outside the hotel, but having options available inside would be a great addition.

Lovely stay in Kennebunkport
The location on Ocean Avenue close to colony Beach and the proximity to the water along with a large veranda with comfortable chairs made this a great place for our three day stay, They always available free Bicycles Was convenient We did not have room service the first day and had to ask for it on the second day and the carpet had a number of stains, which should’ve either been cleaned or replaced Property could use some tender, loving care, but it was certainly comfortably enough for our stay The price of the room is reasonable and the quality was acceptable, but this is not a high-end resort
