Lovely ocean front stay

Nice stay & lovely ocean front views from rooms & the pool. Restaurant is excellent w/ daily happy hour from 4-5 and the room included a full breakfast buffet - which is amazing. Loved being able to access the ocean via the small beach & have kayaks for our use & evening fire pit by the beach. An older hotel but very peaceful spot & the rooms recently renovated

This was an end of season visit. The property, breakfast, and staff couldn’t be nicer. Sadly, pool was closed up for the season along with the restaurant. Dining options were very limited, even in town due to it being post Columbus Day.

Location was very quaint and picturesque. Our room was very clean. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinners at the restaurant. The food was delicious and staff was very accommodating. The only complaint was the shower water temperature took too long to become warm. We would definitely return to Smugglers again.

Truly enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. There’s a lovely little dining room for breakfast and enjoyed live music Tues evening with the best dinner on our trip. The burrata squash salad with crostini along with the best tika masala we’ve ever had were definite highlights. The property felt very family friendly and we enjoyed seeing lots of dog owners out and about. It was nice to be away from the tourism downtown yet close enough to take advantage of it and the Maine Coast Botanical Gardens which is a must see.
