Nonantum Resort, Kennebunkport
 
Anyone familiar with this? Worth staying at?

Stayed there 3 years ago. It's in a good spot, close to town, and has what we considered a hot commodity - an outdoor pool for the kids, you aren't swimming in the ocean in Maine.<BR><BR>We chose the older main building which looks like an old New England Clapboard house, it was older, but charming. The &quot;new&quot; section seemed very dated, sort of 70's motel style. I think the older section was more appealing.<BR><BR>There is another, bigger, more expensive resort nearby that looked nicer, but I can't think of the name right now. When I think of it I'll repost.<BR><BR>For the money I would stay at the Nonantum again.

OK the other resort is The Colony. It has a fantastic view of the ocean and is nicer than the Nonantum, but I'm sure priced accordingly.

I stayed at the Colony a few years ago. It's a great place. Huge, wide open hallways, very nicely maintained. Fantastics views, very pretty rooms! IMO it is worth the extra money!

OK, OK---I'll go to Bar Harbor. We will spend a night in Salem, a night in Kennebunkport, then go to Bar Harbor for four days, then spend a night in Portland before catching our flight home.

Fran, what kind of broom do you ride? Salem is like they all said a R/O.BoothBay Harbor is another waste land.Casino crime may be coming to Maine why not wait for that.
