Staying at the resort was an absolute joy, especially for our family gatherings.

Our experience at the resort was simply delightful, as we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and spacious townhouses that accommodated our group perfectly. The unique lobster ordering experience made for memorable dining, and the facilities like the indoor pool added to our relaxation. However, the weekend social events could be improved for better guest interaction, and we felt that more activities could be organized during non-peak seasons to keep everyone engaged.

Harbor Ridge Resort is a true gem for those looking to explore the beauty of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The spacious accommodations made it easy for my family to relax and enjoy the stunning views. I loved the opportunity to order fresh lobster from a local fisherman right to the resort, adding a local taste to our stay. Although everything was wonderful, I did wish there were more dining options directly on-site. Overall, the value for money was excellent given the spaciousness and amenities offered.

Harbor Ridge Resort offers a serene escape with beautiful surroundings and an engaging atmosphere. The wildlife visits and unique features, like the sky vents in the spacious accommodations, added to the experience. Annette’s warm welcome made for a smooth start to our stay; however, the lack of many activities on-site might not suit everyone. Overall, it's great for those seeking tranquility and nature access, but families looking for more entertainment may need to plan ahead.
