"Singing Praise For "The Wind Song"”
Date: July 16, 2008
Reviewer: Skytowncal, Schuylerville, NY
Prior to our recent vacation, my wife had never been to Maine and it had been 18 years since my last visit to OOB. I browsed through a few web pages and decided on The Alouette/Beach Resorts as our destination. I couldn't have hoped for more! From our arrival, through to checkout, the ownership and staff were very accomodating and helpful. We woke each morning with the ocean as our front yard and returned later each day to a clean and restocked room. Aside from the bathroom's tiny size, we enjoyed our stay enough to re-book for next year at "The Wnd Song". ~~ Jim & Barb Carey, Schuylerville, NY (© 2008 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Family and kids loved it”
Date: June 25, 2008
Reviewer: Mikenyce, Rhode Island
First of all we all really enjoyed are stay at the Alouette. I've been coming to OOB for many of years both with my family and with my parents when I was a kid. We always stayed on the other side of the street where the train tracks are located. Not anymore. It was I, my wife and 3 young children ages 4-10 and we stayed in room #53. Couldn't of been more pleased with the stay. We had a cart for one of the children and they all took turns nightly sleeping on it. The room was very spacious even with the cart in it. I can go on and on about the stay but some of the most memorable parts were: We were right on the beach, the view from the room balcony was fantastic (We even slept with the screen on and the door open at night to awaken to the sight, smell and sound of the beach). The pool was very clean and the kids loved it. The owners and staff were fantastic anything you needed you became top priority. Continental breakfast was also nice. Nothing beat a 30 second walk from the room to the beach to go fly kites late in the afternoon. I look forward to staying there again in 2009. Thank You (© 2008 TripAdvisor, Inc.

"Seciond year in a row, this place rocked!!”
Date: June 8, 2008
Reviewer: silverandspice, Boston, Massachusetts
This is the second year in a row some friends and I rented rooms at the Alouette and it was awesome...they were extremely accommodating. They are a family owned hotel and made us feel like part of the family while there. They had a free continental breakfast which was perfect, we had plenty to eat without overdoing it. Awesome place would definitely recommend it to friends. We plan on going again next year...cant wait!!! (© 2008 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Great Girls Getaway"
Date: June 8, 2008
Reviewer: Artful_Mary, Rhode Island
A group of 6 or 7 of us run away from home once a year, and we chose to return to the Alouette for the second time this year. We stay in their condo, and it works out perfectly for us. We all enjoyed lots of walks on the beach. The owners and staff are all very welcoming, friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that the weekend goes by way too quickly. (© 2008 TripAdvisor, Inc.

"We will never stay anywhere else!"
Date: April 23, 2008
Reviewer: beachcombervermont, Vermont
This is the perfect place for walking the beach, we stayed in millie a or b which is a cottage right on the beach. There is a kitchenette w/ everything you need to make meals in including coffee maker and cofee, microwave etc. This is a very charming place w/ an indoor pool ,onsite laundry ,breakfast is available in the little cafe on site. I cant say enough good things about the people who work there, you hardly ever see housekeeping although your rooms are always cleaned by the time you come back from the beach. Unless of course you never leave the resort which isnt hard to do either. We love going to old orchard and we will make our plans according to availability at The Alouette Beach Resort. You wont regret making your reservations early, then relax and enjoy and if you need anything Fred at the front desk will do all he can to accomodate you. p.s its so close to the activities and shopping ( 10 min walk on the beach or sidewalk.)

Reviewer: sbegonia, Maryland
We had never been to Maine, so we just did online research. Couldn't of been more pleased with the Alouette it was even better in person. Great views, nice rooms and the staff went above and beyond to give a personal touch. We will be visiting again. (© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"At the price, great!"
Date: September 28, 2007
Reviewer: CharlieSnAZ, Phoenix
The room had two queen beds, digital cable, fridge, microwave, and a patio with slider looking out to the ocean. It was about 5 steps from the parking lot to the beach sand. You can hear the ocean from your room as you are right there.(© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"What a quaint, wonderful place!"
Date: September 18, 2007
Reviewer: hdhawg1340, Florida
This was our first trip to Maine. We take our dogs (2 golden retrievers) with us everywhere. I called and spoke with the owner, Mr. Kennedy. He told us to bring the dogs. He also said that dogs were allowed on ther beach after Labor Day. We wanted a comfortable, beachy place to stay and that's just what we got.(© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"It really is on the beach!"
Date: September 4, 2007
Reviewer: GrahamsUH, England
We spent four nights at the Alouette in June. The weather was baking hot, and our 18 month old daughter was waking very early because of the heat. In two minutes we could be dressed, out of our cabin, and on the beach. One morning we were on the beach at 6:15 AM! The staff at the Alouette were fantastic. (© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc.

"Loved the Alouette and the staff!"
Date: June 22, 2007
Reviewer: spiderman04, Bethel, ME
We have stayed at the Alouette Beach Resort 3 times in the past year and have booked 2 more trips. For the past 8 years a group of women get together and go away for a few days, we do this a couple of times a year. We have stayed in the most expensive to the worst location and we can honestly say that this has been the best experience of all for all of us. (© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Steps to the beach!"
Date: June 18, 2007
Reviewer: Sallypea, Holden, MA
I stayed at the Alouette this past weekend. What a great location! It was literally a few steps from our room (#30) to be directly on the beach. The hotel is within walking distance from the pier. (© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Great location!"
Date: June 9, 2007
Reviewer: DebL2, New Hampshire
I was looking for a place on the beach for a mini vacation. This motel IS ON the beach. Short walk down the beach to the pier, eating and shopping. We had rain during our stay, and the pool was wonderful. Very friendly, helpful owners and dstaff. I would definitely stay here again. (© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

Super in every way! Friendly hosts, great amenities, and perfect location. Would definitely stay here again! (© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Alouette is awesome!"
Date: May 30, 2007
Reviewer: AntiquityCalais, Old Orchard Beach, ME
The house we were renting here in OOB was sold suddenly, and we needed a place to stay short-term. Even early in the season, there weren't many options that would accept our family, including our two dogs and a cat. The Alouette did, and it is the least I can do to extend a great atta boy to Fred and his crew at the Alouette and Beach Walk Hotels. You'll get the most bang for your buck here in OOB.

"Excellent and friendly!"

Reviewer: RockGardenDesigns, Maine
Our recent stay was a true delight - the accommodations were comfortable, clean and close to the ocean. We had gracious service from Fred and Ann and enjoyed the meals there. We will return next year for a longer stay - very pleasant atmosphere! (© 2007 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

I just got back from a long weekend at the Alouette Hotel in Old Orchard Beach, ME.

We have travelled to [Old Orchard Beach] every Summer for the past 8 years, and the Alouette is certainly the best as far as accomodations. We will definitely be back next year! (© 2006 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Loved the Alouette"
Date: September 21, 2006
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor User, Vermont
The Alouette Beach Resort is right on the beach. It was great that we were able to step out our room and be on the beach without having to cross any roads. It is family oriented. We loved our room. (© 2006 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"A-is for Alouette"
Date: October 21, 2004
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor User, Avon, MA
My wife and i just came back from an off season holiday on old orchard beach. we stayed at the alouette beach resort. its clean, comfortable and very relaxing. the staff is really something. we stayed in rm#3. really nice with a great view of the ocean. the folks who run it "the Kennedys" are great and treat you as one of the family. we cant wait to go back. old orchard is great in the summer, but its beautiful up there in the fall, and the Kennedys will help you out with directions for dining or foliage runs. great time, very relaxing.

"Clean and Cozy"
Date: October 11, 2004
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor User, Marshfield, MA
My girlfriend and I just got back from an end-of-season stay at the Alouette. Loved it from start to finish! The desk staff was super friendly, and happily let us check in early. We had a private balcony with an ocean view for sixty five bucks. You can get anywhere you want with a short walk down the beach. We had a great experience. (© 2004 TripAdvisor, Inc.

"Excellent Vacation Spot"
Date: August 31, 2004
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor User, Fall River, MA
My husband and I stayed in Room 50 the first Weekend in August. We were quite surprised at what a wonderful hotel it was. The location was perfect: close enough to walk to the "Pier" where all the action was but far enough away that the noise didn't affect us. The beach was fabulous. It was clean and so convenient to our ocean front room. The room was as we expected for a seasonal hotel. It's not the Ritz but it certainly was to our satisfaction. It was always neat and very clean. The staff was fabulous and the food at the restaurant was wonderful. I had expected to be sightseeing throughout our vacation - but the hotel & beach was so relaxing that we spent 95% of our time enjoying the resort. We look forward to returning there for another wonderful, relaxing vacation.(© 2004 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Wonderful Stay!"
Date: August 26, 2004
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor User, St. Albans, VT
I can't remember the last time we had such nice accommodations. Our suite, #43 was absolutely perfect. We had enough room for the whole family. The weather was in our favor, and that made our vacation great! (© 2004 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Wonderful time had by honeymooners!!!"
Date: August 6, 2004
Reviewer: Mama2kayleigh28@aol.com, Lowell, MA
My husband and I went up in October 2002- It was beautiful up there, very decent price, staff was extremely courteous, very clean hotel rooms, opened blinds to see a gorgeous sunrise every morning. Was a wonderful time and definitely plan to stay there again! (© 2004 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

"Alouette -- great time, friendly people"
Date: July 4, 2004
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor User, Arlington, Virginia
We have stayed at the Alouette a lot of times. We have a great time every year. Their beach is beautiful, the staff is courteous and helpful and there's an easy, relaxing family atmosphere. We like the fact they have their own restaurant and the kids look forward to swimming in the indoor pool. We love the place and intend to keep coming back! (© 2004 TripAdvisor, Inc.
