The whole experience was beyond excellent! The accommodations were superb. The front desk staff , Maddie, Priscilla and Amber along with the transportation shuttle staff Keno and CJ are so professional and attended to our every request and need. We stayed in a two bedroom tree top where we experienced the most beautiful, serene setting. Every morning delicious croissants, homemade muffins, or poundcake were left at our front door, along with coffee in a thermos for breakfast. Attention to detail is of the upmost importance and nothing is left to chance. It was evident with our experience that Corey Lens, Assistant General Manager, is committed to assuring all visitors experience a truly unique vacation. It was very easy to communicate with the front desk concerning needs via a text system. Communications were answered immediately. One of the best vacations ever! Looking forward to my return trip.

Hidden Pond is a gem-peaceful and relaxing with amenities that make it luxurious -a pool, a shuttle to the wonderful beach thoughtfully driven by Gary and beach set up from a group of fellows that are so attentive (Troy,Matt, Nick, Anthony, Charlie Ian and Ethan) They are on different shifts to serve you and also can get you lunch from the beach menu from Tides. The bungalow was delightful. All around the facilities are wonderful. The thing that makes Hidden Pond even better is the kind, friendly, helpful staff. No matter what is needed they are willing from the start at the front desk (Bridget, Maddie, Lilly) to the servers Alwick, Aidian, Brett at delicious Earth, and Ryan and Ricardo throughout the property. Each person taking care of their guests no matter what this tasks. If you want a place to unwind and be treated well this is the place. …

This is my third visit to HP and every time keeps getting better. It’s tucked away in the forrest and so peaceful but with luxury accommodations, a pool that looks like it could be in Tuscany, and very special touches. I love the cozy fireplaces and outdoor showers. The screened porches are so lovely, a place to enjoy the delivered breakfast and coffee- you can’t find anything like that at other hotels. It’s my favorite escape from NYC. I love going to Tides beach club for the day and your stay includes access to their beach and beach chairs. The shuttle service is so nice and takes away the stress of parking. The s’mores are the best at the end of the night. Earth is fabulous. The hospitality is so good, I truly love this hotel. Thank you for the best stay!

I typically like to begin reviews with the positives, but unfortunately our incredibly negative check-in experience here ended up tainting our entire stay. I had booked a trip for father's day with a package through a third party site that was supposed to include multiple amenities, including an upgrade if available. Upon arrival, I was pretty disappointed to find that the cottage we had booked was much smaller and more rustic than is shown on the website, especially for such a high price point. I realized that we had not received an upgrade so we went back over to the front desk to ask about it, but were immediately met with a strangely defensive and unfriendly attitude. We were first told they weren't seeing an upgrade as part of the package, despite the fact that the food and beverage credit had been recognized, so seemed odd that only some of the amenities wouldn't be appearing. I pulled up the booking in order to show them everything included in the package, and the female working there then started repeatedly and loudly saying that upgrades are subject to availability. I explained I understood that, but they hadn't actually checked to see if there was an upgrade available for us. I also had already looked and seen there were cottages available for the upgrade. It then moved to her saying that there was an upgrade available but they would have to confirm with their manager first that we actually had that included in our package. We ultimately had to contact the third party booking site, who reached out to the hotel and confirmed the amenities and was able to secure the upgrade (which we then had to follow up on again ourselves after dinner). We requested to speak to a manager about the experience, but when we did, we received less of an apology and more of a defense of the concierge and even a suggestion that we were the issue, which was incredibly disappointing. Asking a hotel to recognize and provide an included amenity if readily available, which the upgrade in fact was, is not being difficult, and should never have been met with that level of attitude. For what is supposed to be a high end, and very expensive, resort, we were expecting excellent and friendly service, and the whole situation felt really unnecessary and frustrating. The Earth restaurant, spa, and adult pool were really the highlights of the stay. Everyone we interacted with there was friendly and attentive, the food was always tasty and the dinner in particular was excellent, and we enjoyed our spa treatments. However, it almost felt as if those were separate businesses independently run from the resort, and that is why they were so positive. We never saw staff around the main lodge or cottages unless we walked into the concierge; the one night we tried to go to the Back Porch Bar for a drink, there was no one working so we ended up leaving and going back to Earth. We had also expected a much wider selection of activities based on the website, but it seemed as though most of those listed are just activities available outside the resort in Kennebunkport you book and pay for yourself. The one morning we tried to go to yoga, it was cancelled for rain, which the instructor said had happened several times in the past week. It seems a little silly that one of the few provided activities would be unavailable so frequently, and that the hotel wouldn't have found a way to move it inside when that occurred, such as into the event barn. The cottage we were finally upgraded to was nice, and certainly an improvement over the first one, but really didn't rise to the level of its high cost, especially with the other things lacking at the hotel. The bungalows and tree houses looked like they might be newer and much higher quality, but we had booked the cottage for the extra space, and were disappointed that it would not meet that level. It’s possible that if you were staying in one of newer rooms, and without the check-in experience we had, it could still be a really lovely stay, but that was just not our experience. Based on our time there, I would recommend staying elsewhere and just coming to the property to enjoy the restaurant and spa.…

Dear Cehan184, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you received excellent service at our adults-only Serenity pool, Earth and the Tree Spa. These areas of our resort provide for truly unique vacation settings hard to find elsewhere, and we are so happy that you enjoyed them throughout your stay.

Our staff takes pride in delivering our guests with a high level or service and your feedback has been shared with our entire team so that we can improve upon your experience moving forward.

A hidden gem. Close to the beach and sister location The Tides Resort. Cottages are spectacular and the service is unmatched, particularly CJ, who manned the shuttle service between the Hidden Pond and the Tides. He’s was great! We plan to come back.

5/5 Ryann is hands down the best massage therapist who I have experienced in a while. I literally feel like I’m I’m total relaxation mode and levitating over my own body on the massage table. I get the 90 minute CBD massage and it’s divine. The spa itself is very welcoming and pretty. I have driven up for the day from Boston to have a massage and lunch at the pool. Highly highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hidden Pond. We knew it was special as we drove up and saw the entry sign “Drive Slowly, Breathe Deeply.” Our bungalow in the adults only section was gorgeous, spacious, and such a calm escape from our everyday lives. We loved Earth restaurant for breakfast (Arlick our server each day was so friendly and kind) and we made use of the trails for running and the gym for the Peloton bikes and Hydrow rowers. Hidden Pond is a wonderful way to check out from our regular routine and recharge! Can’t wait to come back one day!

My family and I went to the Hidden Pond for Father's Day weekend. It was a wonderful experience. We loved our stay, and enjoyed walking through the garden and taking in all the peaceful sounds of nature. What really made our stay AMAZING was one of the staff members from the Earth restaurant named Alrick. He was so helpful and really cared about his customers. We missed breakfast at the Earth restaurant, and when I showed up with my baby, Alrick asked if he could help in any way. I told him that we missed the breakfast, and my baby loves scrambled eggs. Alrick immediately told us that we would be taken care of, and he arranged for the kitchen to cook scrambled eggs for my baby. It was so kind of him, and he went ABOVE and BEYOND to help make our stay outstanding. His genuinely caring personality made the Hidden Pond a five star experience for us. He could have told us the restaurant was closed, but he wanted to make sure my baby had breakfast at the resort. This was so appreciated, and staff members like this should be recognized!!! Thank you Alrick for making our stay the best ever! We appreciate your kindness and attentiveness, and for helping our baby. Staff members like Alrick will keep us coming back. …
