What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 255 guest reviews
The Nonantum Resort earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests repeatedly highlighting its exceptional breakfast, complimentary kayaks and bikes, convenient shuttle, and strong family-friendly atmosphere. The main drawbacks are practical: thin walls causing noise issues, small rooms that strain larger families, and a mandatory double resort fee when two rooms are needed. Most guests left eager to return, making it a well-regarded but imperfect choice for those sensitive to room size or noise.
