Breakwater Inn & Spa

My wife and I spent our 25^th Anniversary/Valentine’s weekend at the Breakwater Inn & Spa. We had a 2^nd floor balcony king room with a million dollar view. From the minute we arrived till the minute we checked out the staff was outstanding.

Was looking for a quiet off season place to unwind for a few days. Found this place and it is perfect. Nice small two room suite that overlooks the water. Quiet pub within the inn to enjoy a couple of pints with a bowl of clam chowder. Just what was needed to unwind. Great staff and good food. The perfect combination.

This place is super cute and dang friendly too! My husband and I went here for our anniversary. He ordered flowers but the lady couldn’t deliver so the restaurant had the chef personally go out of his way to make chocolate covered strawberries for me when I came back from the Lobster Bake that night. They had champagne too ready. The staff wanted to make sure we had a good time and something to remember and I definitely will!
Thank you to the staff for all your kind work! I will recommend this to everyone passing through the area :)

I do recommend this Inn as long as you do not plan to have an event here. Poor management, great chef. The Views and rooms with the porch are very pleasant. Don’t expect anything great for their complimentary breakfast. It’s a basic continental breakfast buffet. Other than that the food is great!

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Breakwater Inn & Spa. This place is absolutely beautiful. Our“beachy” room was very spacious and spotless. The room was tastefully decorated with a king bed in one room and a sitting area with a TV in another room. It was almost like a small suite. Our room overlooked the river — there were seals swimming in the water. We took a nice long walk, about 1 ½ miles to Walkers Point — President Bush’s property. The staff at the hotel were pleasant, helpful and friendly. A continental breakfast was also included in the price of the room which was very nice. We did not have dinner at the Inn but they have a calendar schedule of specials during the month which look like fabulous bargains.
I would definitely go back to this place.
I noticed that one of the reviews below gave this Inn only 1 star. I can’t believe it. She must be very hard to please. This place is outstanding.

We had a relaxing stay here. The staff were all very friendly and made us feel right at home. The place was clean and cozy. Falling asleep listening to the ocean and feeling the salty air was refreshing.

Extremely low rent. Came here to help my boyfriend relax while he was finishing a big project. Sadly, no relaxation happened.
The pictures online make this place look quaint; in reality, it is dated and plain. For instance, there was a marble bathroom in the pictures; upon our nonrefundable arrival, it was plastic. Likewise the pictures somehow omitted the giant, antiquarian AC unit in the bedroom and the tacky faux leather lounge chairs in the lobby.
Worst of all, though, was dinner. First thing you should know: the dining room smells like fish. Just generally. Our hunger goaded us onward so we ordered lobster spring rolls, salmon, and swordfish. There was an undetectable level of lobster in the fried and greasy spring rolls. The salmon my boyfriend ordered was fine. But the swordfish I ordered was overcooked and flavorless; the broccoli rabe on the side, bitter. The server offered, unprompted, to send it back and exchange it for another salmon dish. I assented. We got the sense that this happens often. The manager came over and was a bit unpleasant. When the check arrived, we were charged for all the entrees. Despite the fact that the server offered to exchange the dish. Which is generally what happens when a dish is sent back, no?
Please: skip this place. This is absolutely not a $ 200+ hotel. Save your money and select one of the other options in Kennebunkport. Or go to a Motel 8, you’ll get the same level of service and comfort.

We extended our minimoon and spent an extra night at the breakwater inn (not the spa building which I believe is newer). We booked a king room with a river view thinking we might be able to see water if we tried. The room was amazing– very big, a separate sitting area, and lots of windows. We had a full view of the lawn and river and could easily see the open ocean and beaches. We spent some time on the lawn enjoying a signature cocktail in the adirondack chairs. The complimentary breakfast was great. Good service, fresh fruit, organic yogurt and lots more. We hope to be back soon!

What an amazing stay! My boyfriend and I came here for my Birthday and also to kick off summer with a little getaway. I don’t think either of us expected to be at such a beautiful and relaxing location.
Our room had an amazing view of the harbor opening up to the ocean where we were able to watch all the boats go by. Not to mention the room itself was huge and beautiful. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the food at Stripers Restaurant was unbelievable. If Lobster Taco’s are still on the menu they are a must try! We even thought the bartender was great. Sunday morning we had the continental breakfast which was perfect for us and used the Inn’s bikes to ride along the coast.
A pretty short walk to the center of town and we even walked to the Kennebunk Beach. I am sad writing this review that we had to leave, next time we will definitely make it a longer trip.

I recently was at the Breakwater for a ‘welcome party’ the night prior to a wedding. The space was really unique and beautiful. There is a big deck and grace space directly on the water, and it has a quintessential Maine feel. The indoor space was great as well, with a series of large rooms connected to one another that allowed for flow but prevented the ~170 people from feeling like they were on top of each other. The food and drinks were delicious, the staff was courteous, upbeat, and eager to help each guest. I plan to come back again during my next trip to Maine for a non-​wedding meal.

Place was great. Stayed for a wedding a few months back. Staff was all over every detail and the restaurant was really delicious. Scenery is unbeatable. Will certainly return.

We has a great stay. Staff was excellent and the rooms and service was just as good. Be sure to borrow the bikes and ride into town and around the area. Wonderful way to spend the weekend.

You walk in and it’s as if you are already in the spa. Products throughout the reception desk for sale. Check in was efficient and rooms were small, but comfy. Our AC unit was either broken, old or both and generated a lot of noise. Nice view of the river and the lobster boats going out. There is no pool, but the gym was surprisingly spacious with new equipment. Free parking in the back is also a plus. Free bikes is also a nice perk.

Our stay for the last four days was magical. Our room was perfect. Watching the lobster boats leaving in the morning was great. The sheets on the bed were heavenly. Our experience with the Spa was well received with sore muscles from traveling. The staff was most accommodating and friendly. Only wish there had been a keurick or coffee machine in the room to encourage staying in that comfortable bed even longer. Also if a discount had been offered for multiple day massages we would have enjoyed that after our golf outings. Oh well we would recommend this lovely piece of heaven to friends and family!!!

We just just got home from 2 nights here and it was wonderful. The staff was helpful and great. The location is perfect — just enough away from town to not be in the crowds and on the water. Great chairs on the lawn to sit and watch the sunset. The food was good (we did not have dinner here but it was packed with locals every night). We used the bikes available here and had a fun tour of the area. I would highly recommend this place. The perfect Adult getaway (pets & kids would like The Colony across the street)
Stay here if you can. Worth the money.

It isn’t often that you stay in a hotel in your hometown, but my husband and I stayed here the weekend of our wedding. We stayed in the Waterside Cottage and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it.
1. We were in the center of the action — our other guests stayed at the Colony Hotel, the Nonantum Resort, the Green Heron Inn, and the Fontanay Terrace. Everyone was within walking distance.
2. It is a completely separate cottage — meaning if you want to have a party until 2am — no one will complain because no one can hear you.
3. It is much more modern than other hotels in the area, meaning it is newer and the décor is more modern.
4. The bathroom is amazing. It has a giant whirlpool tub.
5. The room has a mini kitchen, we didn’t cook — but we took advantage of the full sized fridge.
6. The view is incredible. You are literally staying on the edge of the river. You can watch the lobster boats go by. It is so cool!
7. The staff was welcoming and very nice.
The only negative comment is that the breakfasts are much better at the other hotels. It is just your basic continental breakfast. Other hotels in the area offer better breakfasts — I actually ate at the Green Heron instead one day.
Ok, one more criticism, they left us chocolate dipped strawberries in the room the night of the wedding and champagne. It was very sweet of them, but the strawberries were a bit moldy…

Clean and welcoming. We got a room with a small balcony and water view. Recommended!

One of the best deep tissue massages I have had. Thick robe, high pressure shower. Followed by a perfect salad nicoise on the terrace with view of ocean? Life is good
