Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful inn right on the best beach Maine has to offer. Away from the hustle of kennebunkport....you can see the ocean from almost every seat in the large, comfy lounge/living room. Miles and Peter were especially accommodating and enthusiastic. The ladies need to step it up a notch although everyone was friendly. Breakfast was ok.... More

Loved our stay at the Tides! Every staff member was extremely friendly and accommodating, from check-in/check-out staff to bartender to restaurant waiter and beach staff. We were greeted in our room with a voucher for cocktails at the bar to celebrate our wedding anniversary, which turned out to be a lovely way to cap off the evening. Damien, the general... More

The Tides is a wonderfully renovated beachfront inn where no detail is overlooked. The decor is perfect. Service is impeccable, and the staff is FRIENDLY! Beach tenders set up lounge chairs out front, and provide towels, bottled water, and deliver lunch from the restaurant. The food is delicious, simple, and fresh, although cocktails are a bit overpriced. The rooms are... More

Greetings GHawks2! Thank you so very much for your kind review! Our beach tenders and beach amenities, such as lounge chairs, umbrellas, towel service and in the height of the season, lunch on the beach, provides a very unique and one of a kind experience for those visiting Kennebunkport.

We've just returned from a three-day stay at Tides Beach Club, and I'm spoiled forever -- I'll never find another property as wonderful. The Inn itself is absolutely beautiful, from the huge porch overlooking the beach, to the extra-lovely sitting area and dining room. We stayed in an Ocean Front king suite with private balcony overlooking Goose Rocks beach. The... More

This place is simply amazing and simple. We got a beach front suite with a porch. It was perfect. Small, intimate hotel that offer 5 star service. Restaurant was great. Only thing I have to complain about is that they do not provide room service. It would have been perfect if they did. I would have loved to have breakfast... More

The renovated Tides Beach Club has a very comfortable, warm feel to it. The rooms are tastefully decorated in an understated way, and the restaurant and grand parlor are most welcoming. You have to see the framed photographs of dogs hanging out car windows, taken by a local photographer. They will make you smile! In fact, everything about this place... More

We loved this place and its location, the main areas (reception, bar, restaurant) are beautifully decorated but I think the rooms let it down a little bit. They are quite small and the decoration is not as nice as in the restaurant and bar. I will definitely recommend dinner at the sister property, Hidden Pond! It was incredible. We will... More
