Perfect to sneak a trip to Maine in. And we are here waiting to make your stay special – here’s a few quick ways our team at our Ogunquit hotel recently helped out:

• The Meadowmere Resort is a pretty big place. We understand. And on your first stay, finding all the great amenities at our Southern Maine resort can be a challenge. Our team has training on the layout of the hotel, relation to where the amenities are, hours – you name it, they know it or know how to find it for you. Jodi noticed a family at the end of the hall looking confused and she instantly knew that they needed help. She took the time to offer assistance and walk them through the TV room, Roman Spa, fitness center and spa and elevator, giving them tips on how to find other amenities and make their way thru the hotel. The family was so surprised at this personal touch and thanked Jodi over and over again for taking the time.
• With indoor and outdoor pools, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, our Ogunquit hotel has a lot of fun to choose from. Sometimes kids get so excited to go to the next amenity, they forget towels. One little boy had such a problem – and wasn’t sure how to find any towels either. As Tori came down the hall, this little boy asked and she told him to wait just a minute. Tori headed to the laundry area to grab four freshly folded towels and returned. The little boy was off and running, right into Roman Spa fun.
