First of all I want to thank the staff for efforts to correct a couple of things that went terribly bad during our stay. I have no qualms about the staff what so ever. We booked 3 nights May 13th - 16th, 2013, to celebrate my birthday and Mothers day. We had booked a room online that " appeared" to... More

Rosario Resort is located on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands. We had not planned on ever going there, but when friends invited us to meet them there, we decided to go, and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful spots we've ever seen. Rosario is going through a bit of a face lift, which it... More

This fine old resort has been a romantic destination for years. It is finally in the process of being brought back to a grand estate. The location is stellar. We were going to have lunch in the restaurant but it was closed due to the remodel. Breakfast is served until 11:00, but we felt like we were the only ones... More

We spent almost a week in a hillside room way above the bay and it was magnificent. The room was beautiful and comfortable and we could sit on the deck in the morning and evening to watch the changes of light on the bay. It was also the perfect perch from which to enjoy the frequent sightings of the resident... More

We highly recommend this resort for its peaceful, beautiful, natural setting, and the hotel lodge for its elegance. Rosario's is nestled in a secluded pretty cove. The resort is a complex of buildings: the lodge has a lounge, restaurant, health spa, and museum, and the outlying buildings are guest residences. We recommend the Harborside building, 8 minutes pleasant walk from... More

This was our first visit to the Washington area. Found this resort online and was intrigued by its history. Our visit was during the off-season. Looks they were busy with some remodeling, but it in no way inconvenienced our visit. Enjoyed the pool/sauna/whirlpool. Spent several evenings by the main fireplace for food and drinks..excellent appetizers. We found all the staff... More

In the 80's this was the luxurious accommodation jewel of majestic Orcas Island. In the 90's the property inexplicably deteriorated horribly. A few years ago a hedge fund or something bought the property at auction and has devoted moderate financial resources to restoring the property. Instead of trying something new the apparent plan is to merely fix and repair as... More

What a lovey place to stay--the rooms were very nice. We had an ocean view and I would pay the difference again. The main building was an old mansion and it was GRAND. They had a history and music which all guest were invited -- go if you get the chance. We eat at the Rosario as well and the... More

The view from the room was breathtaking. We saw deer, rabbits and otters around the grounds. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful and we recommend a stroll around them. They have a show on saturdays about the history of the manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. I do have a question (a little embarrassing . We... More
