    Sunrise from the balcony

    We had a comfortable room with an amazing room. There is nothing better than watching the sunrise over the ocean waves from your balcony.

    View from room balcony
    Angelo B.

    Pros: -Great location right on the beach. You literally descend the flight of stairs onto the beach. Recommend getting the room with the ocean facing balconies -Clean (especially useful in Covid times) -Fridge & microwave, coffee maker in room -Beds fairly comfortable Average: -Wifi is free, but at evening there was some buffering issues with youtube -the room was a little pricey for Maine/ type of hotel, but not terrible given the view Cons: -there are not many restaurants/ food options within walking distance. Most likely you will need to drive -parking spots in the underground lot are definitely on the tight side. An SUV will take almost a full spot, so I'm guessing very easy to get a ding. Recommend bringing a small car or a beater. The uncovered lot is better but there are limited spots I will stay here again if I return to the area

    Shower head

    We stayed in the king corner, balcony room. The sunrise was beautiful, which was the main reason for staying in this room. It did not disappoint. What was disappointing was the shower experience. There was no showerhead? When I called to complain about it she said it had been that way for 35 years, that's what it's supposed to look like, and no one had ever complained before. I find all of that hard to believe. It would take $20 put in a decent showerhead that somebody wouldn't complain about. We were also told, upon checking in, the room had been totally remodeled and renovated two years ago. So they chose to renovate this room, but not take care of the showerhead? The room is clean and comfortable enough... The shower experience was an F-.

    Who would say. I thanks to this room?  Not me!

THIS REVIEW IS ON ROOM 109. Just $20 more per night for a nice fireplaced room. NOTE, photos online are VERY deceiving and we were greatly disappointed in our room. It was so small. Room was pie shaped, located near the elevator and 2 entry doors. So the room was noisy and the pie shaped room made the room VERY small compared to other rooms that we have stayed in on the 2nd floor over the past 29 years. The room is marketed as newly renovated ‍. Yes they have nice tile floors which were absolutely freezing even with the fireplace on (it has a one hour timer) and the ceiling tiles have been replaced. They could definitely do away with the massage chair in the corner and place another arm chair. Just the 2 of us and there was just one comfortable arm chair and a desk chair (and a metal filing chair if you decided to use it). The king size bed did fill the room. The bathroom was a mere 4'x8' with just under 3' in the toilet area and just 2 feet from the tub to sink. They only had one small 3 drawer dresser (each drawer was just 6" deep). Needless to say the two of us had to live out of our bags due to lack of space for our winter clothing (14° or less outside). Don't know if we were near some sort of drain because all night long you could hear water either being flushed or running. I HIGHLY recommend Lafayette Oceanfront resort but do not wast your money on a fireplaced room. We have been coming here for 29 years and hope to be coming here for another 20+ years

The property is now under new management and we found our stay to be absolutely miserable. Upon check in, the room was extremely filthy with heavy dust and dirt in the bathroom and on the bed frames, sandy floors, feminine product wrappings and potato chips sprinkled on the floor. Also, can't forget to mention the chewed gum stuck to the side of the bed frame. WE WERE HORRIFIED! During our stay there was a brief heavy rainstorm that resulted in water pouring through the skylight. Our luggage was soaked. I went and reported the issue to the front desk. I was shocked and surprised when the front desk worker told me that "the board of directors does not allow them to take guest feedback". She became very defensive and confrontational when we asked if we could speak to the manager. The woman explained that she could not release the phone number for the manager and the name for the board of director due to "HIPPA"?? (Am I missing something, hippa is a healthcare law and does not apply to the hotel industry). We were concerned that the leaky skylight had not only ruined our trip but was about to do the same for the next guest. The front desk did say that there was another party checking in the day we were checking out of room #203 and there was rain in the forecast, YIKES! I have never written a bad review EVER and hate to do this but was encouraged to do so by the front desk worker. She said that there was nothing she could do and encouraged us to write out our complaints to get the attention of the board of directors. I surely hope they are able to read this review and make necessary change! Needless to say we we will never return and we will tell our family/friends to steer clear of the Bellevue by the Sea. There are tons of beautiful places in Wells, please do not waste your money!

The common area is meant to reflect a certain period, so it's not to be critiqued in my opinion. The issue is communication and overall responsiveness. The webiste did not reflect some of the glitches they had. For example, our room was listed as first floor. When we arrived, it was up a narrow spiral staircase, which is unacceptable. It also smelled musty and made me nervous to be up there in case of fire. I did not know how we would even get our luggage up there. No where in their website, email or anywhere was that mentioned. The inn runs on a remote basis. We called the desk and we were changed to a real first floor room, but the problem came the next day. We got up early and waited for breakfast. When we left the room to go down the hall to find breakfast, nothing was set up. My husband called the desk and the receptionist said, " Oh no breakfast because it's off season". It was April 25th- April 26th when we stayed. She said that they would serve breakfast starting in May. Again, the welcome email said that they were serving pastries from a nearby bakery called Bread and Roses. It said nothing about off-season rates means that there is no breakfast. Their website said nothing about it. The worst part is that after he called, our room code did not work. We were locked out. Now normally I take a phone and a pocketbook and luckily I took my phone. Imagine if I didn't? My husband still struggled with the door lock and the receptionist had to struggle with it. We decided to just leave rather than walk the beach, as our experience was ruined by being locked out. Lo and behold, as we were loading the car, it happened again. My husband left an item in the room. We could not get back in to get it. We just gave up and drove away. I woul have looked the other way, but we have written to the author and posted about this and no apologies were made, no compensation. It's a darn shame because compared to other places we have stayed, this was not a good experience, nor was it a good value.

Beautiful views of the ocean, beach and marsh. Grounds are very well kept and landscaped. Walk to the beach to see the sun set or rise. We sipped champagne at 10PM while looking up at the starry night then fell asleep to the sound of waves hitting the beach. Room has everything you may need to feel at home. Mini fridge, Keurig with coffe pods, sugar, creamed in the fridge, Box fans were available in the event that the breeze isn't enough for you. We kept the windows opened to allow that clean ocean air roll in. Shower's water pressure was excellent. Bathroom and room in general were very clean. Bed and linens all very clean and neat. I generally don't sleep well at any hotel so I can't really vouche for how comfortable it was. I would definitely bring my own pillows next time just for personal preference but there are extra pillows available if needed. Proximity to several dining options and shopping are all within a 5 minute drive. Batson's Brewing, Billy's, Boardwalk Arcade and Hannaford's are all within a short driving distance. The Lobster shack near the restaurant has wonky hours so plan accordingly. They closed at 7:30 on the nights we were in town so can't judge them. We showed up at 7:35, no exaggeration, and were turned away. I get it. 20-30 minute drive into Kennebunk, cool New England town with many small businesses. 45 minute drive to Portland for outstanding food. If you're planning a trip to Maine, make Moody's your home base. Relax, unplug, unwind and enjoy nature.

It's 5 stars across the boards. We stayed for 2 nights so we got to try 2 different meals here. They have homemade granola and Greek yogurts, and they also had delicious scones and banana bread when I stayed. The first day we had a fresh fruit cup with cinnamon cream cheese on top with granola, and eggs Benedict with potato has browns. The second day we had fresh watermelon with mint and limes, as well as waffles with a peach sauce on top. I have never stayed somewhere with such creative and delicious meals. You can really tell that Brian, his wife Janine, and his family really care about making you feel great while staying with them. They go above and beyond here and their efforts really show. If you want to have a lovely vacation, definitely stay here. Brian and his family will make you feel welcome and like a part of their family.

My husband, sons and I had been going to the dunes for 8 years as returning customers to our cottage at the dunes. it was what everyone in our family always looked forward to. Both of my sons could not wait to take our yearly family trip. it was our forever spot, where we envisioned our family generations going every summer. When my oldest went to college he would still come to the dunes, even flying from his internship in California out to our yearly two week dunes vacation because, yes, it was that special. I can't understate that it was an absolutely magnificent place, untouched by corporate greed, a little family operation. The only thing to mark the property was an un-assuming wooden sign, small and simple but well done - just like the dunes. if you went fast enough on the bustling touristy road you would miss it. beyond the threshold of pines that shield your view to this little ideal world, are incredible ocean views, simple little cottages, green grass, and lots of space, it was a simple little paradise. the dunes was simple, elegant and already expensive. now imagine 2x the cost and you get the idea. what used to be around 8,000usd for a two week stay ( and a full kitchen) is now around 20,000$ (with no kitchen)........ absolutely insane. whats more disappointing is the rebranding of the property as some luxury cottage getaway when the original architecture and entire feel WAS ALREADY MORE GENUINE than this rebrand!!! The whole idea of the dunes cottages were things are simple, like going back in a time machine, units aren't about new interior renovations and luxury finishes. its about time to connect with family outdoors, get away to a simpler time and remember what truly matters. shame on new ownership - truly commercialism at its finest. Well done management, you lost an 8 year returning client, and just know, we have since visited and this place lost what made it special.
