10/10 Exceptional

Cool family friendly place with lots of activities (ping pong, minigolf, canoes and kayaks) and a beautiful location and view from all the rooms. Very generous and tasty breakfast, too.

Maine trip

Everything was clean, relaxing, great location with so much room to walk around and enjoy the scenery. The breakfast was awesome.

Beautiful resort in the forest

The ground were beautiful and we had a lovely stay. I do wish there was coffee in the room or longer hours the coffee was available up front, but it wasn't a huge issue, and we loved staying here.
Callie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place off the beaten path

Nice quiet place overlooking the water and close to Boothbay Harbor. Has tennis and basketball courts; minature golf and a heated pool.
Jon, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is extremely helpful!!! The property is beautiful. Highly recommend that you get a deck you can sit on and watch the water.
Kathy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lots to do, wonderful views and a great hot breakfast buffet. We will be back for sure!
Cindy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Plenty of amenities, rural location, beautifully on the water. Staff was rude at check-in and room had lots of spider webs.
Julianna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast had a good variety. Beds were a little squeaky but comfortable and it needed some renovations- think 80’s style. Air conditioner cooled the room down a little but not enough especially at night

4/10 Fair

Not so good

The room was filthy with spider webs In The corners and spiders and other creepy crawlers in the sink and bathtub. We endured the additional night of our two night stay—we should not have as I was bitten by Something at night and my entire right elbow area was swollen and hot. I will enclose a photo of my elbow. I was also bitten on the shoulder area and the top of my thighs. Not sure what it was. The view was gorgeous but not worth the bites.
Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I thought the property was very quaint, loved the views from my deck overlooking the water. Every staff member greeted me every time I came across them. I feel they did a wonderful job getting the property up to par seeing how they had just opened for the season on 6/18/25!! Breakfast was delicious.
Nicole, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful view! But very old and dated. It felt more like a camp ground than a resort. Rooms were old and doors were difficult to open and close.
Margaret, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine, but not what I expected.

The property is far more rustic than the pictures suggest. Also, it is a bit run down. Our room had a fantastic view but was definitely in need of some repairs. It was fine for our needs but I expected more for the price I paid.
Gregory, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs major maintenance

Has potential to be a great place but needs some upkeep. The room was nothing like pictured. Great view but not much else I can say about this place. It may have been very clean but hard to tell because it was all so outdated.
Leah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

More like camping than a resort

Dark and dingy room. Very very outdated. It was not the cleanest. The 24/7 coffee pot was always empty in the morning before breakfast and no tea water available. It was difficult to get hot water to shower. It was a long dirt road through the woods to get to the “resort”. It was very hard to find a trash can and they were full. Outside by the dock smelled strongly like sewer. This was definitely more a camping vibe than a resort. Also there is not anywhere to get food less than 20 minutes away and more likely 30-40 minutes. Pack your pb&j. We will not be back.
Winnie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely setting need upgrading

Loved the setting. Outside property was beautiful. Access to Kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards The room we had needed upgrading and initially smelled musty. Once we opened door for awhile the must smell subsided. Front desk staff member could have been more welcoming and when we left on Sunday I said just dropping off key. His response was Ok. Not Ok how was your stay or something to show an interest. Our room did not look anything like the picture on the website. Basic breakfast, loved the blueberry pancakes We would go back maybe try to get a room with a deck not just a balcony.
Melinda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

No coffee pot in room, no drinking cups, no WFi in room, this was advertised as being included. Shower water was Luke warm at best. Smoke alarm was flashing red . In general the staff and helpers were friendly and helpful.
George, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were happy with our stay and would stay again. We stayed over the July 4 long weekend. It wasn’t too busy, but not too quiet either. Our kids (3&7) enjoyed exploring the grounds, swimming in the pool which was about 78 degrees, played mini putt and other random games. The breakfast buffet was nice and we had the option of sitting in an outdoor dining hall or sitting inside with a view over the water. Next time we will go kayaking as there were many kayaks. The grounds are extremely charming with most rooms having a waterfront view. The buildings are rustic and from the outside could use some updating. Our room was renovated with a fresh coat of paint, new carpet and new bathroom fixtures. Our beds were comfortable and our pillows fluffy. The experience is more cabin in the woods than 5 star hotel.
Andrea, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Stay away unless you want to camp (with a room).It’s nothing like the pictures. The property is rundown.A lot of things are broken and left unrepaired. No soap or glasses were provided in the room. There’s barely any staff around. The surroundings are in dismay.
Lynne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place
MEGAN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ocean Gate Resort was an okay place to stay, but it didn’t live up to the “resort” label or the price. While we had a nice view of the harbor and appreciated the porch off our room, it doubled as a walkway for other guests, which made it feel far from private. The room itself was a decent size with plenty of storage space, and it included a mini fridge—though it lacked a freezer. The resort offered kayaks and canoes, which was a nice touch, but only for use in a very small section of the harbor. One major downside was that our air conditioning was broken, and with the sun beating in through the large window and door, the room became uncomfortably hot in the evening. Overall, this felt more like a motel than a true resort
