Samoset Resort ReviewThe Samoset is a something of a Maine coast rarity -- a modern, self-contained resort with contemporary styling, ocean views, and lots of golf. Both the hotel and town houses here are surrounded by the handsome golf course, with expansive views of it (and the ocean beyond) from almost every window on the property. The lobby is constructed of massive timbers recovered from an old grain silo in Portland, and guest rooms all have balconies or terraces plus newly installed flatscreen TVs and improved vanities, makeup mirrors, and fixtures. Bathrooms are extra-big, many with soaker tubs. Golfers like the place for its scenic 18-hole course with several waterside holes, and there's a golf school. Families can always find plenty of activities for kids here (including a summer camp during high season, and babysitting year-round). The health club, with three separate areas, is excellent. 3 restaurants; indoor pool; heated outdoor pool; golf course; golf school; 4 tennis courts; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; children's programs; concierge; courtesy car; business center; room service; shopping arcade; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

| 2 stars | Frommer's Very Highly Recommended | |
| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
