Spruce Point Inn Resort and Spa

Spruce Point Inn is always a great place to stay, relax, enjoy the amenities - s'mores in the cool evening - or take the launch or trolley into Boothbay Harbor -- love the grounds and ocean overlook - and trails to explore a bit. Early September is bit quieter and nice to head into BBH and browse, shop, eat and visit surrounding areas.

We had an amazing experience as a family traveling with 11 and 9 year old sons. I was a little concerned given some of the negative reviews, but it seems like they are mostly from people expecting something other than what Spruce Point has to offer based on the high cost. It is not a luxury resort, but it’s perfect for a family with kids who enjoy activities and want to socialize with other families. We traveled in mid-August, and everything higher end in Boothbay Harbor was either booked or pricey. We choose Spruce Point due to all of the activities and kid-friendly amenities, and I am positive it was the right choice and a better fit for our family than anything closer to town. We loved having access to the shuttle to town but spent most of our time at the resort, swimming in the gorgeous oceanfront pool or hot tub, playing in the rec room or with other kids in the field area, and walking the on-site trails. Spruce Point is not walkable to anything, but the shuttle runs every hour from 9 am to 9 pm, so it’s easy to pop into town. The setting is so beautiful and relaxing, and our room (Evergreen 14) had a gorgeous ocean view (it was a partial ocean room) and was huge with a large bathroom with big tub and separate shower. We had a fridge and microwave, which came in handy with leftovers and allowed us to eat yogurt and smoothies for breakfast and save a little money. I would highly recommend Spruce Point to any families with kids ages 2-18 traveling together, but it probably isn’t the best value or location for couples looking to avoid young kids (hence some of the negative reviews).

Lovely location - had lunch on the deck - Expensive and food.... mediocre. Ordered special blueberry salad but got Caesar. Tasted fine but overdressed. Little neck clams overdone and Very salty. My husband ordered fish and chips with no tartar sauce - when asked we got mayonnaise..... Overall not a terrible lunch but VERY Expensive.....

My family enjoyed staying at the Spruce Point Inn. Everyone was friendly and it had a relaxed vibe. My kids enjoyed the game room. I enjoyed the trails, bike, paddle board, and pool. The food in the Salty Stag was reliable and everyone found something they liked. It was a lovely spot to soak up the Maine coastal vibe with my family. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean!

We love the Spruce Point Inn for its history, beauty of the grounds and scenery, relaxed and old school charm and atmosphere, and its friendly, hard-working staff. It is a visit we look forward to every year.

SPI has slipped quite a bit as being a first class resort. The pool cushions are stained and torn in many instances. Safety issues include no working phone in our room, no railing down to the outdoor pool, and no railing to get into the hot tub. Breakfast was delicious but our server didn’t offer coffee refills or inquire whether everything was okay. Front desk staff was lackluster with no greetings or smiles. We are repeat customers of many years so it makes us sad to observe the decline. Thank you.
