Booked a weekend getaway with my husband, 14 month old daughter and dog, and I am also pregnant. We arrived at noon and they let us check in early. Initially we had booked a room in the main lodge where there was a tent for a wedding reception set up right outside. The two people at the front desk were unbelievably exceptional when requesting to change rooms due to the possibility of loud music at night. They exceeded our expectations and moved us to a cottage away from the event that was perfect for our family at no additional cost. The service was terrific along with the folks at the restaurant as well. Had a great day walking around the beautiful premises overlooking Sebasco Harbor, swimming in the pool, which was very clean, although no towels at the time, was the highlight of our trip. The food at the restaurant for dinner was well prepared, delicious and not as expensive as what we would expect. Good portion sizes and the staff had no problems with our young daughter walking around as we ate. The property was extremely dog friendly with plenty of room for him to run and swim away from other guests. Overall this was a perfect way to spend time with a young family and dog and would recommend it. If you’re looking for a true rustic Maine resort experience, this place is it. Thank you, Sebasco!

Gorgeous location, situated right on the ocean with a heated pool that overlooks the ocean. Nice 9-hole golf course. Service is quite bad, maybe because we visited in late September and some seasonal staff had already left for the year. Hotel rooms could use upgrades. For $300/night, I expected more. Spent 2 nights here with 2 young kids. First night, we went to their restaurant that overlooks the water at 5:30pm. There were 7 tables open but the staff told us we couldn’t be seated because the kitchen was backed up, so we waited about 45 minutes to be seated. The food was good, but the wait staff and host were a bit defensive and rude. We stayed in a “family room” in the Main Lodge. The queen bed was relatively new, but the twin beds were old and saggy. I woke up with a very stiff back. The toilet was clearly 25+ years old, very low to the ground and small. It was challenging to use it. They should consider replacing the toilet and old mattresses asap. Shower and sink were fine, and there were nice, newer dressers. Bathroom floor was very old but in fine condition. Had the breakfast buffet - $22pp, similar to a continental breakfast. No server, no drinking water, very basic. A couple entered from the steps in the back and the host told them that was not an entrance, instead of hospitably welcoming them. It was nice that kids under 5 were free, though. I used the fitness center, which was fine - new exercise bikes and weights. The bathroom was in rough shape - the stick on tiles and floor was bouncy, as if there was a lot of water trapped in that floor. The showers looked unusable, visible mold and lot of paint chipping. I went to the gift shop to get a coffee at 11:05am, and was told that they’re closed, opening back up at 3pm. There’s no where else on property to get a to-go coffee. Seems like they should stay open, at least on weekends. I attended a wedding and the venue was very nice, buffet style food which was good. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, but left wanting more, and felt that many staff members could use more hospitality training.

I don’t typically add to a review after it is written but I forgot an important item. During our stay I tried to reach out to the GM several times and was always told he wasn’t in. Upon leaving I left my phone # and asked that he call me because I prefer to discuss issues rather than just posting a bad review. I never received a call which unfortunately for me is very telling as to the mgmt of Sebasco Harbor Resort. This was our first stay at Sebasco Harbor resort. I called a few weeks before our reservation with a few general questions and the person who took the call was not knowledgeable about the resort at all. I ended up being transferred to who I think was a manager and she was very pleasant and helpful but its a little off putting when the people who you have answering the phones are not able to answer basic questions. We received an email two days before check in welcoming us and providing information. In the email under hotel amenities it said: HOTEL AMENITIES REMINDER Rest assured, our hotel offers an onsite breakfast restaurant, indoor and outdoor pool, fitness center, guest laundry and more This hotel does not have an indoor pool. I mentioned this during check in and the person checking us in just shrugged and said we don’t have an indoor pool. Our check in process was smooth except it took a few tries to get enough keys that worked. We received a list of activities which was different than the one that we received via email on May 5th. When I asked about it I was told “yeah it changed”. We were staying in the Shore Ledges Cottage which was a little run down but has the most amazing views and beautiful screened in porch. There is no AC as this is an older cabin which was known when booking but unfortunately many of the windows cannot be opened because the screens are bent and do not fit the frame so the house would be full of bugs. We called the front desk and they said they would report it to maintenance. No one ever came to fix the screens. The first activity that we tried to attend was Monday 1pm ice cream making. When we arrived we were told it was canceled. No explanation just canceled. The venue does have an ice cream shop so most people ended up on line with dissapointed children paying for ice cream. The only activity that was well run was the fishing. The instructor was great and very knowledgeable about the area but the experience was again disappointing. While there were fishing polls there was no bait. The arcade area was great fun for the kids but it was not always open at the times the agenda said it would be open. The pool area was lovely and well maintained. The lobster bake was well run and the food was great. The best service we had was from the servers at the restaurant. They were friendly, engaging and lovely. Unfortunately most everyone else we encountered at the resort was disengaged and not at all knowledgeable. The bikes are also a great perk of the resort and we absolutely used and enjoyed them, but they are extremely rundown. The grips on the handlebars are completely worn off on most of them so if you want to use them you are gripping sticky dirty handlebars. Overall this resort could be beautiful and our house, other than the broken screens was a great place to stay. I do however think they are not a family resort with all of the activities that they advertise. If they could fulfill what they advertise and staff properly this resort would be unbeatable. I got the feeling that they cater to golfers and weddings and the rest is are unfortunately things they feel they need to add to their roster but that they do not feel the need to provide.

We’re getting married here next August, so came up for a quick weekend. Explored a lot of rooms in the property which were all spacious and clean. The grounds are well kept, and the staff are all so kind and accommodating. Great relaxing (family-friendly) vacation spot!

Horrific experience, which is a shame because the grounds are beautiful. Breakfast buffet was TERRIBLE- I’m talking on par with a free continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn- but for $22 per person, not including tip. The rooms are outdated, dirty, and smell weird. The screen to the balcony had a huge hole so we had to keep the door closed. Upon check-in, we didn’t receive our complimentary beverage and the bottle of wine I paid for wasn’t ready. Worst of all, we were told we couldn’t use the pool and several areas of the grounds because of a wedding. If I had been informed amenities I paid for when booking didn’t include use of the pool and lawn games, even for a few hours, I wouldn’t have booked! We planned our day around the fact that the pool hours are 10am-8pm. I have been to many hotels that also hosted weddings- none barred me from common areas that are included as part of the price and resort fees. Absolutely would not recommend staying at the Sebasco. Spend your money elsewhere.
