Top notch employees and property

Liked: I had to have something shipped ahead of my arrival at the hotel, and the staff did a great job handling that for me and holding onto it until my arrival. Top notch employees. The buffet was exceptional. Far exceeded expectations. The grounds are nice to walk across, with a nice beach area and beautiful views no matter where you are. The room itself was very spacious and comfortable.
Disliked: Nothing. Place was great.

Great place to stay for...

Liked: I stayed here once before during the pandemic and was very impressed with how well the hotel was run, so I decided to stay here again for this year's annual Acadia adventure. It was a fantastic stay, and the view from my room in the main building was awesome. The breakfast was wonderful, with a variety of warm and cold dishes available. I especially liked the flatbread breakfast pizzas and potatoes. All the staff members were very friendly and super-helpful. My room was spotless and I liked the soap and shampoo dispensers on the wall of the shower since they are much more environmentally friendly than toiletries in small plastic bottles and wrappers.
Disliked: There wasn't anything that detracted from my stay at the Atlantic Oceanview. I might have liked a second soap dispenser near the bathroom sink, as I had to reach into the shower every time I wanted to wash my hands, but that was the only minor gripe. I liked the location since it was away from the town center although some might find it too far. It was about a twenty-minute walk into town, and Bar Harbor can be notoriously difficult for motorists. On the other hand, it was closer to the Hulls Cove visitor center and right across Eden Street from an access path to Duck Brook Road and the carriage roads in the park.

gorgeous views but overpriced

Liked: the view, location and pool were great
Disliked: we were surprised for how much we paid for our room to feel more like a motel than a hotel. we expected with it being a conference centre with good facilities to feel more part of the hotel but we were put into a room in another building that definitely felt like a basic motel room but with a lovely view. It could do with some modernization

Very good

Exceptional

Liked: Everything. It was a very clean, spacious room. A beautiful view of Bar Harbor right from our deck. Plenty of amenities. The local, free, bus picks you right up at the main entrance and you can travel throughout Arcadia park as well as downtown. Buses every thirty minutes. Breakfast was wonderful and all of the staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. We will be back.
