I have been staying at the Hawk with my family for decades. It is usually a seamless pleasant experience from check in to check out.
The staff has historically been wonderful, friendly and accommodating.
However this visit was very different. The woman on the desk Tanya, I believe is her name was extraordinarily rude, short tempered and condescending.
While we were attempting to check in she was berating a coworker in full earshot of those of us who were beginning what is usually a magical time away.
She then proceeded to scold an older guest who was simply attempting to ask her a question.
This behavior is so unlike any that we have experienced in the past.
We managed to check in with grumpy Tonya who could not even manage a smile to anyone.
While heading to our rooms we ran into Don. It was so good to see him back as we missed him last year.
He was as lovely as she was rude. He welcomed us and even offered help with our luggage.
We only wished that he had been the first face that we saw.
I have been a manager of people for 30 years. I would never allow a front desk manager whose job is to be customer facing to behave in the manner in which she did.
The rest of our stay was lovely. The rooms are always impeccable and everyone else was lovely.
Also, please put the clock back at the pool.
We will see you again in August and hope that your front desk staff has taken a course in hospitality.

This resort is our new.go to place to relax. The owner has thought of everything for a comfortable stay.
First the room: We chose an oceanfront and it was hard to leave our spacious deck and the sounds of the ocean. It was a cool night so we shut the air conditioner off and opened our windows for the ocean breeze. Cannot get better than this. You won’t be sorry for splurging on the oceanfront room!
Second: The property is immaculately groomed with lovely flower beds, plenty of quaint seating areas and a beautiful walking path. So relaxing! There is an outdoor pool but we did not use.
There is a continual breakfast served and it was just enough to start our day! And the staff is friendly and helpful!

Once again, I just cannot say enough good things about this resort and its staff and how relaxing and refreshing it is to vacation at the Sparhawk. It is an oasis of quiet rest, "Far From the Madding Crowd."

We enjoyed our 27th year at this wonderful resort in June of 2023 and, as always, we are glad we did. Further we stayed in June and again in the Fall of both '22 and of '23 so I have incorporated additional information from those Fall stays as well (I simply forgot to write a review for '22).

As always, everyone on the staff is unfailingly friendly, happy and helpful. You feel welcome from the moment you step over the threshold. Be sure to ask the staff for their recommendations for attractions and most especially for dining. The housekeeping is prompt, detailed and superlative. Our room in the Barbara Dean was, as it always is, immaculate. As I have said before I say again, the level of cleanliness is absolutely equal to a Ritz-Carlton.

There is a lovely continental breakfast and coffee and tea all day. The pool is heated, really quite warm, and, especially if you get there when it first opens at eight AM, quiet and not at all crowded. The grounds and the flowers are unfailingly beautiful and well-kept. And the views of the Atlantic are always grand, from the grounds, the Marginal Way and the balconies of the rooms. It is remarkably peaceful and quiet even though it is on Shore Road and abuts Marginal Way - you can sit in a chair on the grounds or the balconies and read a book in peace, watching the clouds roll by.

I do recommend that you stay early or late in The Season. Ogunquit is lovely and quiet in June, lazy Summer days, but by July or August is quite bustling, mind, not at all bad, it is just a lot busier and more crowded.

Finally we stayed for four or five days in '22 and again in '23, in early September and early October. The Sparhawk was just enjoyable and quiet as during June. Almost all of the restaurants and attractions are still open. Interestingly Ogunquit is still quite busy in those early Fall months, there were days that as, well, bustling as Ogunquit ever gets in June. Of course it was cooler than June but really not terribly much so; of course you'll need to bring a sweater and a warmer or lined parka but that being said the weather was really quite mild. So please consider a Fall long weekend at some point I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
