Bar Harbor Inn & Spa

We had an ocean view room and we were very happy with our choice. We were able to watch the sunrise over the water as we woke up in our room. The accommodations were spacious and clean. The continental breakfast was a wonderful start to our day. The location is perfect to walk to shopping and dining. It is a short drive to Acadia. We will be back!

Oasis Room food and service were outstanding. Piano player was a nice touch - we need more places with live music. Location was perfect - especially for a rainy day. It was an easy walk to town and to the land-bridge. We also ate at Brasserie Le Brun and Galyn's which were great. Saw a movie at the Criterion - a short walk from the hotel - great old theater.

The room had a great view of the harbor and was well kept. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a great variety of quality foods to choose from including multiple gluten free options. The heated pool and hot tubs were perfect after a day of hiking the trails in Acadia. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially this late in the season when they about to close up for the year. I will definitely be booking a room here again next year and hope to stay longer than one day.

We loved our stay, everyone was so friendly and the rooms were so clean! We were worried the pools would be too cold, but they were heated to a perfect temperature and I am always cold! The pool and hot tub overlooked the water, it was beautiful! I also loved that they had games in the lobby and coffee at any time! We will be back!

Weather was dicey but the Inn was fabulous. What a wonderful staff. Room 121 in main building has the best of two wonderful views. Harbor and bay. Easy access to an outstanding continental breakfast and gym. So comfortable bed, great shower and pressure. The housekeeping is second to none. Walking distance to main street and right on the shore path. Cosy up at the lobby fireplace for afternoon coffee and cookies. Take a walk across the sea bed at low tide to an adjacent isle. Minutes from Acadia National Park. We will be back soon.

Family of 5 stayed 2 nights in “King/Queen Loft Suite” from 10/17 to 10/19/2024. The room was spacious with 2 baths & balcony with ocean view. Free breakfast was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

My bf and i stayed in the Main Inn, overlooking the harbor. It was for our anniversary, and i just gotta say it is a perfect stay for us. We were both happy with the Inn, the location, the views, the room itself.. we loved the entire place. It’s so romantic, i could cry. I love the view every morning looking out of the balcony. Also, the staff are splendid. They are so helpful and friendly. It was an amazing experience overall.

We will forever love the Bar Harbor Inn and Spa! We were married on the Bayview Lawn on a beautiful Friday in June. The views were absolutely breathtaking. From the time we checked-in to check-out, we were incredibly pleased with how friendly the staff was. We highly recommend staying here or grabbing a bite here because the food was delicious and the beds were extremely comfortable. Our wedding coordinator, Briana was so helpful and put all of our worries to rest. It was a perfect day/weekend!

This is not at all a reflection of jade- she was lovely and I'd request her again in a heartbeat. My gf called a few days in advance to book us massages. They said they could accommodate us for 60 min each as long as we waited since there is only one masseuse available. No problem. We got there and checked in, no one verified which service we were getting which is fine, 2 massages isn't that complicated. I waited for my friend upstairs but there wasn't any magazines or reading material etc and no cell phones are allowed so it was a loooong hour. She came out and her hair was all greasy. I didn't think much of it and went in for my service. Jade asked me which mask I wanted. She offered 3 paper masks, much like the kind you would purchase at target/cvs etc so again I didn't think anything of it. The service started as a standard massage and then all the add ons started. A foot mask. An eye mask. A face mask. Hot stones. Again I didn't want to interrupt the service but I knew this was much more than we asked for. When we went to the front desk to pay, the total was an alarming $360 each!! For an hour long service! We nearly died. We explained that we tried to book a massage only and the front desk person argued with us saying that jade did a great job etc. we tried to explain that we know she did a great job, it's just not what we booked. She did not care. For a grand total of $720 for an hour each of service, we probably won't be back.

I had an unexpected open afternoon. Called over to make an appointment for this afternoon or tomorrow. I was welcomed with open arms. The place is beautiful; the staff is friendly and my massage therapist, Sarah, was the BEST. Would definitely recommend the Bar Harbor Inn Spa.

On our most recent trip to Bar Harbor, we encountered a very cold and rainy day, and decided the best way to go about it was to book a treatment at the spa. After calling around, this spa was the only one that could accommodate us both and so we decided to give them a try and see how it went. We arrived early and they were gruff with us about it. I've never had a spa be mad that we arrive early, in fact many spas recommend it! This was after I called a few times and asked if we could add onto our spa treatment, and were cut off mid sentence and told they couldn't help us. Not great first impressions. Once we were allowed to access the lounge, we changed and went upstairs. The place where the spa is, looks like a renovated unit near the pool that was clearly not meant to be a spa. The layout is awkward, and not very conducive to relaxation. Upstairs we sat and waited for our appointments. Once our therapists were ready, we were taken to the massage room. He had Jade and I had Darcy, both for a 50 min therapeutic massage. Hubby said his massage was overall ok, but I had a very different experience. My massage therapist did a horrible job draping, and I felt unnecessarily exposed. The therapist also did a weird thing where she kept massaging my sternum, which I thought was very odd and made me uncomfortable. I was relieved once massages were over, but then we got to the locker rooms and there were more issues. The lady's bathroom shower floor was slanted in the wrong way, where the drain was the highest point in the floor, resulting in the rest of the floor just flooding and making it slippery and gross. I definitely expected more from this spa, being attached to their hotel which has high marks for customer service and attention to detail. I don't think the massages were worth the cost ($115 per person), and the overall experience from booking to showering left us both feeling like we wished we had booked elsewhere. Definitely will not be returning on my next trip to Bar Harbor.

I got a deep tissue massage from Colleen and it was the right amount of pressure! She was Strong! The spa itself was nice: beautiful locker room with a sauna, showers, everything you'd need. Friendly staff and great location!

Had a lovely time relaxing here today! Melissa gave me a 5 star mani/pedi and really was such pleasant company. Not only is the quality of services and facility top notch, the friendliness of Melissa and staff far exceeded my expectation! Would definitely book here again if I were in the area. Thank you Bar Harbor Inn Spa staff, especially Melissa!

I booked bridal services here several months in advance so my review is for that. I emailed and spoke with Amanda the manager and she was always so very friendly and responsive and I felt in great hands leading up to my big day. We came in 3 hours before my first look for me to get makeup and updo, my mom to get blowout and makeup, one just makeup and one just updo. The makeup and hair are on different floors, which was a huge bummer because we couldn't all sit together. I had also ordered sandwiches and sparkling wine from the spa snack menu and the wine wasn't there when we arrived and took about an hour to get with a lot of miscommunication between then (brought sparking cider instead, and then showed me a menu asking which wine I wanted but there had only been one listed on the spa menu) and there weren't clean dishes or glasses. All in all we were all happy with the results of our services; I didn't do a trial and my hair was tighter than I envisioned but I did still like it. The hair stylist mentioned that there were plans for remodeling to bring all the chairs to the same level which would have made a huge difference and made it a 4 star experience at least!

The location and setting of the Bar Harbour Inn is simply perfection. It sits right in the water with unobstructed views and is centrally locates to the quaint little town that is Bar Harbour. The lobby and entry to the hotel is extremely unattractive, dark and dingy looking. It is quite tired and detracts from the well-tended beauty of the surrounding grounds. Shocking that it hasn't been updated with something fresh, light and inviting. We enjoyed our boat rides and walks but note that there is very little to do in town. If you've shopped one store, you've shopped them all. Same identical Bar Harbour sweat shirts and t-shirts in every color ....
