We’ve been staying at the hotel for over 30 years, time to do some upgrades in the old property
Shelly, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I was looking for a resort on the Maine coast that was dog friendly and the Colony Hotel knocked it out of the park. The facilities are fantastic, beautiful views and a brief walk to downtown Kennebunkport. Lots of dogs families and couples, young and old. We will likely come back every summer from now on.

Austin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The view is stunning!! It has a really nice pool with comfy seats. The hotel itself is relaxing and quiet. There is a ton of history and it’s so interesting to read about it. The rooms look old-fashioned, but it’s part of the vibe. It was nice that they had coffee and muffins every morning, and you could go out on the big giant porch and just sit and relax and look at the ocean as you drink your coffee.

Property has stunning views and is close to the beach and shopping/ restaurants. The resort is very walkable and a car isn't needed once you're here. The property offers a resort feel with old world charm.

I liked that the property was big in size and had perfect rooms but one of the do not go to a single room when you have more than three people in the room anyway it was super nice.

The pictures online do NOT do it justice! This place was beautiful, very clean, had friendly staff, and the best location in town. I will be coming back again for sure.
Katerine, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel was very clean and friendly, staff is spectacular, Alex the concierge was remarkable. Would definitely recommend this location. Only down fall was there are no television sets in the rooms which is good in a way.
PAUL, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed for 3 nights in the off season. Easy walk into town. Close to the ocean.
Jessica, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The colony has a great pool! We stay in the cove side across from the older building. The parking for these properties fill up in the summer which made it impossible to park when we got back from dinner. Breakfast is include and it is a great buffet. We ran late one morning and they were nice to grab us some containers to fill and enjoy our breakfast on there scenic porch. Over all this property is a beautiful hotel to visit. No ac or tv’s in the main building, but consider rooms are fully equipped.
karen, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

False advertising. Fan did not work on one of the hottest days of the year. No ocean view from the room despite the website. Staff lied. Staff did not follow up on multiple requests in person and in writing. Do not stay at this hotel.
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property is great the table lamps by bed did not work and there were no plugs by the beds. There is no air conditioning in the rooms just 2 fans but as long as it’s not over 82 degrees you are fine. The room we stayed in was near the outdoor lighting so you had to pull down your shades fully which also hampered airflow into the room. All in all it was a lovely hotel the staff was wonderful the ground are lovely and we will come back again to stay here. As a bonus despite us not having dogs, Dogs are welcome for an extra charge. The breakfast(buffet) is lovely and views eating are great and staff everywhere is so accommodating and friendly.

Michaela, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved the property and location and views. Prices at lounge and restaurant were reasonable. No AC or Tv in rooms but were comfortable and enjoyed not having the distraction. Noise was a bit of a problem but not at quiet times. All good.
Jo, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely property but was disappointed that housekeeping didn’t show up until 4 in the afternoon. We would leave the property at 9:30am & fully expected our room would be ready as we came back to prepare for the evening. On Thursday it never got done as their timing was too late for our schedule. Wi-Fi failed every night in the middle of our movies. Disappointed. WiFi
