We spent our 29th Anniversary here. We had an upgraded room with a balcony. It was absolutely amazing. Convenient to the beach, convenient to other sights in the Cape Elizabeth area and Portland, Maine. The staff was fantastic from front door staff, wait staff, room cleaners to the managers. They are over the top helpful. Definitely a return visit in the future.

Wonderful from start to finish! Excellent service and accommodations. Beautiful and well kept. On site restaurant with excellent food. The only way I could think to improve is to increase the pool temperature in the off season and add a jacuzzi.
