This resort was 5 star, from start to finish. If you're looking for a splurge- visit the inn by the sea. Every bit of our weekend was perfection. Just don't relay on the staff for food recommendations, most of them are college students, so prefer a different ambiance for dinning then we do. Not to discredit their choices, just not... More

Beautiful setting! A majestic Inn! The staff goes out of their way to assist. Probably the most accommodating and friendliest staff I have ever witnessed!!! Food is excellent, view is priceless, the fire pit at night will slow your heart rate. The beach is beautiful and its only about 15 minutes from the harbor front of Portland! We will be... More

This was our first trip to Maine, and the best Inn dining experiences we had were at the Inn by the Sea. The chef is excellent. His paella was comparable, if not better, than the best paellas in Madrid. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The garden suite room was nicely appointed and comfortable. We took a long walk...

We stayed there in June 2013 and loved everything about it-would highly recommend. I would like to rent a room and stay a whole summer. I've been a frequent guest of the Beach Village at Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego and I like this even better.The food at Sea Glass was the best resort cuisine I've ever had, service... More

We went here in the first week of June 2013. The resort is beautiful and expertly groomed and maintained on a state park area. We stayed on third floor in a one BR beach suite. These are newer compared with the rest of the resort. They have central air if it gets hot, whereas older areas of the hotel have... More

We stayed here for my boyfriend's birthday, and it was a fantastic hotel, just outside of Portland. The view was idyllic and the staff and rooms were great. Get a massage if you're going. The walk to the beach is easy and romantic. Couldn't recommend enough

My husband and I just wanted to get away for a quick weekend stay. The Inn was a perfect experience for a little pampering. All of the staff was courteous, knowledgeable and quick to please. Our Garden Suite was spacious, clean and comfortable, especially the bedding. It's always a plus to have a fridge and microwave in your room. We... More

We've stayed at a lot of very nice places over the last few years. Including Fairmonts Hotels, amazing Bed and Breakfasts (including in the Hamptons), and the Ritz too. But this place was incredible and holds it own! We went for 4 days and 3 nights. We booked the garden suite but were graciously upgraded to the beach suite. The... More

Inn by the Sea is a comfortable, beautiful luxury inn. The grounds are very pretty with gorgeous views of the ocean. It is a short walk down a boardwalk through a little wooded glen to the beach. Crescent beach is wide and sandy, great for walking. The cardio room is small but well equipped. Guests can use the steam and... More

We stayed at Inn by Sea for our 25th anniversary and had a fabulous time. The location is amazing and the beach is great. They have done a great job with the landscaping of the resort. We stayed in a corner room in the main builiding and it was very large with a huge bathroom. We ate one night in... More
