The Inn offers a tranquil escape with stunning views and is conveniently located near the heart of Kennebunkport. Dining experiences are memorable, particularly with the chef-prepared meals. However, the rooms could use some improvements, as they seem dated and have maintenance issues. While the service is attentive, the overall experience didn't justify the price we paid, given the state of the accommodations.

The room had a nice balcony with views of the harbor, but it suffered from poor lighting and maintenance issues, such as a broken bathroom light and insufficient waste baskets.

I had a great time at the Breakwater Inn and Spa, as it offers beautiful outdoor areas along with stunning water views. The location was perfect for easy walks to nearby attractions. Unfortunately, my experience with the service was mixed, as there were some significant delays during check-in and oversight in room preparations. Overall, I appreciated the charming ambiance of the hotel, but some improvements in staffing efficiency would truly enhance the stay.

We had a lovely anniversary celebration at the Inn, enjoying beautiful outdoor seating and delightful appetizers. However, the breakfast was quite disappointing with slow service and subpar food quality. The location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions, but the overall condition of the rooms needs improvement.
