My stay at the Cape Arundel Inn was a mixed experience. The stunning ocean views and delightful meals from the restaurant were absolute highlights. However, the rooms in the clubhouse left much to be desired, particularly regarding cleanliness and comfort. The staff was kind and eager to assist, but certain management issues affected the overall experience. The views and restaurant quality are worth noting, but the room upkeep needs significant improvement.

Our stay at the Main House was truly excellent; the views of the ocean from our room and the front porch were absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere was very relaxed, making it wonderful to unwind with a drink while enjoying the sea breeze. We truly appreciated the attentive service and the quality of the dining experience. The only downside was that the room had minor issues like awkward furniture placement. Overall, I'd say it was a fantastic getaway with a few slight drawbacks.
