Spruce Point Inn Resort & Spa

Spruce Point Inn is a sprawling waterfront resort on the edge of Boothbay Harbor, where rooms and cottages scatter across manicured grounds that slope toward the ocean. You get pools, a spa, boat tours, and multiple dining options without leaving the property. It's the kind of place families and couples book for a long weekend to unplug, though recent guests note the property is showing its age in ways that don't always match the price tag.

• Beautiful grounds and ocean views from most rooms
• Attentive servers and good food at on-site restaurants
• Multiple pools, spa, and activities for families
• Walking distance to Boothbay Harbor and boat tours

The resort's three restaurants handle everything from casual to upscale. Pancakes come out decent, though locals advise bringing your own maple syrup if that matters. Service is generally quick and friendly, one recent visitor praised attentive servers at the bar. Don't skip the nightly s'mores if you stay.

Spread across multiple buildings and cottages with ocean views and landscaped grounds. Quiet in the main inn, though cabins can be loud if you're near pet rooms with dogs that bark into the night.

Staff tend to be warm and helpful, especially with families and special occasions, though you might not hear about amenities like nightly s'mores or lobby coffee unless you ask. The three restaurants deliver solid food and attentive service. Heads up: almost all cabins and cottages are pet-friendly, which means noise from neighboring dogs can be a real problem if you're not in the main inn building.

Guests rave about the location, ocean access, and staff warmth, especially for families and honeymoon trips. But several recent visitors flagged maintenance problems, dated rooms, and broken amenities like bicycles. One guest said 'the general manager listened to us and made some amends' after a disappointing stay, suggesting management will work with you if things fall short.
