My stay at The Nonantum Resort was enjoyable, with beautiful views and a comfortable atmosphere. though there were a few minor drawbacks. The grounds are stunning, especially in the fall, and the breakfast options exceeded my expectations. I did experience some noise in my first room, but the staff were accommodating and quickly found me a better room with a lovely river view.

My stay at The Nonantum Resort was a mix of good moments and some disappointments. The location is indeed stunning, right by the water, and the breakfast buffet offered a decent variety. yet I found the dining options outside of breakfast quite limited. The shuttle service is fantastic, providing easy access to local spots, but I encountered some noise issues that made it difficult to relax. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but not without its quirks.

The position of the resort is absolutely gorgeous, right by the river and close to town. I enjoyed relaxing in the Adirondack chairs while taking in the views. It made for a perfect backdrop to my getaway. The free shuttle access to shopping and dining was a big plus as well.

While the breakfast buffet was enjoyable with a good selection, I found the options for lunch and dinner to be quite limited. The bar closed early and didn't offer any food options. It felt like dining was more oriented towards the wedding guests than other visitors.

The resort boasts beautiful grounds and nice amenities including the shuttle service, which was easy to use. However, with weddings happening, it felt at times that the non-event guests were secondary in terms of service attention.

I had an amazing experience at The Nonantum Resort, which provided the perfect ending to my New England fall color tour. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the views from my room were amazing (especially the sunset over the yacht-filled bay!). Breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious variety of options. However, I did encounter some issues with parking, as the limited spaces made it challenging at times.

My room in the Portside building overlooked the water, and the little patio was a perfect spot to relax and watch the boats go by. It had all the amenities I needed, including a comfortable bed and plenty of pillows. I must mention that while the bathroom was a bit small, it was modern and well-decorated.

The resort offered various amenities, such as a shuttle service, which made getting around very convenient. The grounds were lovely, and there were plenty of comfy spots to relax while catching up on the scenery.
