My boyfriend and I stayed at the Bar Harbor in for 5 days in late August/early September. It was our first trip to Bar Harbor, and I am so glad we booked our stay at the Bar Harbor Inn. We stayed in the Ocena Lodge, and the sunrise views from our room were incredible! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, sipping coffee and watching the sun come up over the Harbor. After sunrise, it was so convenient to grab a quick breakfast from the continental breakfast buffet and then head out for a morning of hiking in Acadia. Most afternoons, we enjoyed lounging in the beautiful infinity pool and hot tub overlooking the water, and then taking the five minute walk into the town of Bar Harbor to explore the shops and restaurants. The location was perfect.
I was surprised by how good all the food was throughout our stay. The pastries at the continental breakfast were perfect. We ate at the Terrace Grill for lunch and the Reading Room for dinner and breakfast. One never knows what to expect from hotel restaurants, but all of our meals were outstanding! Highly recommended!
