"So, tell us a little about this place—what's the first thing that gets your attention?Before you even step into the Spruce Point Inn Resort & Spa, you're taken with the location of the place. This oceanside property just feels iconic, and with its 100-plus-year history, it's nothing short of that. Sounds like a lovely start. Who else is here?Travelers seeking the perfect Maine experience by the sea (and the not-at-all-overboard Americana design). It equally satisfies both the people who want adventures out on the water, and those who just want to get cozy inside. It's the ultimate family vacation destination, with something for everyone. Too good to be true! Now, onto the good stuff: Tell us about your room.My family and I stayed in the Starboard Oceanfront Cottage, a four-bedroom dazzler that overlooked the ocean. Larger than what would usually be considered a cottage, it was chock-full of darling details like a wood floor, large front porch, and cheerful kitchen. So there's a lot of space to move about, which is nice. But if you're not in your digs, what is there to do?There are a ton of kids' activities and camps that can take the little ones off parents' hands for a few hours, and anything you could ever want to do on the water is offered here, including sailing, whale watching, and fishing. There's also a spa on site, for when you've had your fill of physical activity, and you just want to chill. Well, we're probably just going to chill immediately. How about room service, or the food on site in general?There are a few dining options at the hotel, but if you want something on the more formal side, 88 is an oceanfront spot that offers incredible seafood from the area. Perfect. So, anything stand out about other services and features? What do you really want to shout out?There's really just so much to do—there's a pool, and a ton of hiking around the resort. Also, if you're looking for a place to plan a family reunion, this is it. Duly noted! So, bottom line: worth it, and why?Absolutely. There's so much value in your stay. Not only are you surrounded by a beautiful setting, but the resort offers something for everyone." - Corbin Chamberlin

We just loved this place, the staff was authentically kind and so helpful, the grounds were very well-kept, and water views and sunsets from our cottage porch were spectacular so we spent a lot of time out there. We ate at the Salty Stag all 3 nights, it was so good (separate review for deets). We stayed in Sunset A, which had a beautiful stone fireplace and a very comfortable king bed. Although I get the "perfectly imperfect" vibe and read the reviews for realistic expectations, the sofa (glad I brought an extra sheet to throw over it) needs a refresh and the carpeting has got to go, preferably replaced with a wood or laminate. There is hiking, which we love to do, right on the grounds and many other places with water views nearby. We would definitely go again.

I arrived at this beautiful location to do Hair services for a bridal party on the night of the rehearsal dinner. This was my first time at the resort . I have to say this is a beautiful place. The staff we're All dressed in uniform. The grounds were impeccable. The place was just a delight. I watched staff cater to clients needs. I was greeted by staff every time I walked by someone. I was completely blown away.

Pros - Great service from everyone. Beautiful grounds and gardens. Activities EVERYWHERE. Loved the nature trail and did it several times during our stay. Views were great. Pillows, bedding and room amenities, awesome.||Cons - Bathroom was spacious but needs updating all over. Check in time is very late (4:00) and should be moved up a couple of hours.||||We had a great stay (2 nights) and will definitely be back. Giving a shout out to "IRIS" in the restaurant. Iris you made my Irish husbands night by bringing him a big serving of mashed potatos. Thank you again.

We were so happy that they were pet friendly! It's a beautiful spot! Can't wait to go back next year if we can. We also took the complimentary boat ride and had a blast. Of course the town is not far away and we were happy to be in Boothbay once more.

Not a great investment for a family vacation. |The website makes it sound awesome, but in reality it was rundown and poorly managed. Issues we had with odors, hvac, and ants were not addressed, and several of the amenities which attracted us to the property were closed. |This last bit is the biggest reason we will never recommend this property to anyone. Management knew the amenities would be closed yet chose not to tell us until after the cancelation deadline had passed - so we had no opportunity to choose another place to spend all those vacation dollars. And it was a lot of dollars! Their choice is unethical, in my opinion. |That said, if you're ready to throw money at the place, the setting is nice. |

This is a very family-friendly resort in a beautiful location. We enjoyed fishing on the dock, the boat tour, sunsets on the porch, meals at the Salty Stag, frogger in the game room, and smores at night. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. We would love to come back in the summer and make use of the bikes and pool.

Had a spacious room, and it was quiet. Was attending a wedding for our son and we had an amazing experience. We enjoyed the views of the harbor, and deck area. Would like to point out that room did smell a bit musty.

This was an amazing place to stay, the grounds were incredible, the room was beautiful, we stayed in Balsam with a view and balcony. The complimentary boat ride was perfect. We stayed on October 4th 23. We even enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The dinner was good but expensive, I would eat out. The rib eye was so thin, it looked like a Salisbury steak. The food was good, nothing to rave about. The server was pleasant. The Chicken salad was ok. too chopped up not enough green leaf romaine. The room view and the grounds were so clean and there was so much to offer with the amenities. The 45 min boat ride was a great bonus. I think the report fee should be reduced when you reduce your amenities. For example, only one restaurant, one pool, no hot tub unless after 5 and no fire during week. Pool on ocean under construction. Sitting by the ocean and watching the sunset and waking up to the ocean in the AM on the balcony. We would go back just not eat there. I gave 4 because of the value of the food and overpriced. Great location and many shops and places to eat nearby.
