Saybrook Point Resort & Marina
5/5 Excellent
Wonderful experience
"I absolutely love this resort, with or without kids. With kids, the indoor and outdoor pool is amazing as is the mini golf nearby. Without kids, there are amazing waterfront bars to grab a snack or cocktail. Close to Mystic which was an added bonus. Haven't tried the boat cruises but plan on next time! For breakfast I recommend Mirsina's in town."

"After a long commute I could be able to rest without being disturbed by noises within the facility or from outside of it. Everything was clean. The breakfast was satisfactory. However, there were leaks in the shower and there was a pool of water by the toilet and the foot towel was soaked. Also, there was a cracked glass in the window. I took a picture and showed it to the manager. Thank you!"
