“Body surfers delight!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

if you like body surfing decent size waves in fairly warm waters of the atlantic then this area is the place to be. Weather was pretty hot so the water was inviting and the waves became our best friends.Clean hotel with good breakfast right on a nice quiet piece of beach real estate made this holiday an enjoyable one. Great walking on the soft sands to either the funky pier or to gaze at the how the other half live in their regal manors. Bring your bicycles to cruise the avenues around the maine landscape and don't forget a trip to the famous Clam Bake seafood eatery where your palate with have a pleasurable time.

“Great surfside value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

person found this review helpful

This was our first visit - wonderful location right on OOB. We came at the very end of the season, so it was not crowded. We stayed in one of their "upgrade" rooms, which has its own private terrace with lounge chairs overlooking the ocean. Beds were comfy, linens/pillows were nice. The bathroom is teeny but it worked out ok. The one thing I didn't check when booking was air conditioning - they did have ceiling fans, but no A/C. If we had come in the summer that would have been a deal-breaker for us, but it worked out for October. Their continental breakfast buffet was wonderful - fresh fruit; bagels, English muffins, and bread for toast with multiple toppings; boiled eggs; oatmeal; coffee, juices, and teas - I appreciated that the food was fresh (and not pre-packaged). Short drive to the pier or to other coastal locations. Would stay again.

“A nice and quiet motel where you're welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

My husband and I have always a really nice time at Royal Anchor Resort. Employees and owners ( Mark & Claire Bureau ) are really sympatic.
The rooms are clean, the deluxe breakfast is good. The pool is nice with warm temperature, the beach and the view are fantastic
We suggest you this nice and quiet motel to spend your vacations.

“Best in OOB”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

person found this review helpful

This is the Very Best place to stay in Old Orhard Beach !!!! The rooms are immaculate and comfy, every one has an ocean view as well as a pool side view. Terraces have great lounge chairs. Ten steps to the private immaculate beach. Owners and employees can't do enough for you. You are treated like royalty here. Plus great free breakfast. Been going here for years and it just gets better and better !!!!

Room Tip: No A/C so stay on upper floors so you can leave the slider open.
