Such a stunning setting, wow! I've had the pleasure of visiting Orcas at least once a year since I was a little kid, and finally had the chance to stay at Rosario Resort. While the rooms aren't modern, the views from the Harborside buildings are fabulous. What a lovely spot to sit out on the deck and have a peaceful breakfast. I enjoy walking around the property, and hope to visit someday during the summer to take advantage of the waterside adult swimming pool--one of the best PNW pool views I've seen. (There is a kid-friendly outdoor pool located at the center of the property, and an indoor salt water pool located adjacent to the spa that's open year-round.) The charming mansion is fun to explore, and the restaurant offers tasty menus items (with vegetarian and vegan options, hooray). Although it's fun to stay in different vacation rentals across the island, I'd be happy to come back to Rosario in the future. It's located conveniently close to Cascade Lake and Mountain Lake, plus it's not too much of a drive to get into town. read more

The room was a nice size, and the staff -though only online- was helpful- but for $600 for two nights I couldn't say it was worth it. The mansion was (as people have said) shut down and there was just a bunch of trash outside of it. This also meant no amenities so the advertised pool/hot tub, etc. just not a part of it. -The room itself also has clearly not been updated in a while with old outlets, stained couches, and stained walls from the fire place? Honestly this stuff wouldn't really bother me that much had the price just been wayyyy lower. Hiltons offer way nicer rooms for half the price with real people there to help. I think maybe while they're renovating they should just offer price cuts but oh well. I did ultimately enjoy my stay and will be back to Orcas Island for its cute charm :) read more

FRIENDS, DON"T BE FOOLED BY THE 4 and 5 STAR REVIEWS, THEY ARE 1000% FAKE!!! In May 2026 I viewed the Rosario Resort website and it it looked absolutely beautiful, just as I remembered it from 10 years ago (the last time we were there). I booked 3 nights in their Bayside condos and over a one week period I received 10 emails. All welcoming, all professional. I arrived on my check in date and was told via text that I could access my room at 2:45pm via a provided door code. I had arrived at 2:30 PM and was SHOCKED. The grounds were unkept and grossly overgrown, with a few areas that had just been mowed. The green John Deer riding lawn mower was parked near the mansion. The flower beds were dead and looked to have been un-weeded for years, and the mansion was closed. The water fountain and pond water once beautiful, was green with soupy algae. The resort looked as though it had been abandoned for years, kind of like a ghost town. So I drove over to the condo's and saw a few people in and out of rooms. I saw what looked like folded towels in kitchen garbage bags on the cement outside room doors and the "maid's room" door where supplies were stored was standing wide open. These folks were dressed in dirty jeans and t-shirts and appeared to be hired help present to clean the rooms. I also noticed I was the only "guest" anywhere to be found. The building itself looked like something you would see in a poor part of town at anywhere USA, where drug addicts might live. The building was brown and in need of a fresh coat of paint. I left and returned 30 minutes later and now, no one was around. Again, it looked like an abandoned run down dump, (nothing remotely close to what the website projected). I walked down the dirty enclosed hallway to my assigned room door. I used the passcode and opened the door and with one step inside I noted a pile of dirty towels on the floor in the bathroom and to my left, a pile of dirty linen sat on the bed. The carpet looked run down it clearly had not been cleaned in decades. I was literally shocked and disgusted. Because this resort DOES NOT HAVE ON SITE reception or hosts, I called the number listed for the "24 hour desk" and was greeted by what sounded like an East Indian male who was very pleasant. I told him what I had found upon my arrival and I am certain he had no doubt how angry I was. I told this guy I was leaving and that they would be refunding me IN FULL and I didn't care about their cancellation policy. I told him the website was a gross misrepresentation of the resort which was false advertising at its finest and fraudulent. The guy who was very calm, apologized and told me he would be happy to assign me to another room. I told him not a chance!!! I told him that the resort was a dump and the room I saw was a step down from the seediest motel on ghetto street USA. I again told him he would be refunding me and I was leaving. He actually thanked me for my input and told me he would pass the information on to "management" and he would get back to me. 30 minutes later I get a text message from phone number i had called saying they could offer me a 10% refund. I replied, Not acceptable. I then told who ever just texted me that I was connected to Seattle TV News (which is true) and that I would be more than happy to make sure every TV station in Seattle had this story. He apologized and said they would get back to me. I headed to the ferry and waited 4 hours for an evening sailing to return home. That night I get a text at 10PM from a new number asking me if a 30% refund would be acceptable. I again said absolutely not and reminded them that they would be refunding me in full and they were welcome to answer to Seattle news media who would most certainly be knocking at their fraudulent door. The next morning I received an apology text and was told I would be receiving a full refund which happened promptly. The only reason these people didn't keep my money was because I was connected to news media. While sitting in line at the Orcas ferry terminal, I read reviews here on yelp. I counted 26 one star reviews and all said the same thing. The place was nothing like they remembered and that it was an absolute dump. Intertwined within the one star reviews, I noted obviously fake 4 and 5 star reviews from one year ago. It was laughable and obviously without question they were submitted by resort management using fictitious identities. The lesson? Do not book accommodations anywhere without reading the reviews. IF you see a common theme, take note. This is the last place you will want to stay, trust me. read more

Was so excited to stay at the Beautiful Rosario resort for the first time. We were quickly disappointed, the Manor was closed and the rooms at Bayside we dirty. No management on site all run through Airbnb via email and text. Place definitely did not match the pictures that we saw to reserve our room. Beware when booking at Bayside in Rosario village read more

This review is specifically for Rosario event staff and management. Few words describe the utter level of disappointment I've experienced with the event management at Rosario Village. I first contacted Rosario on May 2, 2023 about a wedding in 2024 (time-stamped email screenshots below, hopefully in chronological order). We were motivated to be as patient as possible to inquire about a wedding through the ambiguous sale as this place holds immense important to both of our families. Jolene was very kind and helpful despite the situation of the property's sale. She said they were not committing to any weddings until post-sale, as not to over-commit in the case that new ownership would not honor the date (which is totally fair!). I scheduled a call with the only wedding planner on the island (Cloud9 Events) who eventually became the event manager at Rosario. I scheduled the call on August 14th for September 6th - so I had waited a few weeks to chat before talking with any other planner. Nobody showed to the call which was disappointing. I simply emailed asking if they were still free to join - no response. I finally received a voicemail 1 month later, on October 3rd profusely apologizing. I couldn't see how I could trust this individual with executing the most important day. I dropped it, didn't respond; and proceeded to hire someone and paid for her to travel all the way from Spokane WA. I emailed Rosario up until February 2024 to see if there was any way of booking 09/07/2024. The resort sale had not happened yet. Sunday, December 24th 2023, my mother-in-law graciously gifted us two nights at the Roundhouse suite for our wedding night and day before so we could at least spend some time there. We then contacted Rosario for photo permission in April on our wedding day, as it was important to us to simply get photos at such a special place. Per screenshots, Jolene advised we get in touch with new management, which we did - and we were granted permission. Finally, after the sale, Olivia from Cloud9 (the now new wedding planner at Rosario) reached out to me for a consultation in April. I don't believe she realized that I was giving her a second chance at this point. During the call, she could not provide a ballpark estimation of costs for a wedding at Rosario after asking if we'd be willing to forfeit out of our other venues' contract and move our wedding (I had sent invites at this point). She said by June 1st she'd have an answer and get back to me. She also said we'd be subjected to a "photo fee" despite having the Roundhouse suite booked on the property. We were willing to pay this but received no further communication about the fee or fee amount. She then said another couple already had a soft hold on our date. I am deeply curious to know who was in contact with Rosario prior to May 2023 about this date. On June 6th I emailed asking for an update. Nick Knoellinger said someone else booked the resort that day and mentioned nothing about photos. Am I surprised by the low quality of communication and transparency, considering my first impression in September? No. Fast forward to our wedding day. Amidst photos with my parents at 11:30 AM on some lawn overlooking the water, at Rosario, a strange man aggressively approached us and said "there's a wedding here today and we've reserved the entire property. You cannot take photos here". I fully expected a face full of horse crap and took the high hill and walked away. Thankfully we had plenty of other photo options. My parents were deeply saddened and raised the point, "we have the roundhouse reserved on the property, and we can move if this isn't a good spot". He responded and said that he left a "detailed voicemail" saying we weren't aloud to have photos here. I protested as I've received no such voicemail. He then asked if I was "Julie" (my mother-in-law) and I said no. He claimed he called her. I notified my MIL and she immediately called Rosario Resort explaining the situation, and that she'd received NO CONTACT from this guy (he did not say his name). The resort responded surprisingly and said "we have no idea who that man was and he should not have told you that you aren't aloud to take photos because that's not right, you are guests on the property". Then -- my MIL notified me that she had received a creepy call demanding payment over the phone for the Roundhouse from someone claiming to be from Rosario Resort; and they said she had not paid. She paid nearly $1K in full, December 24th 2023, per screenshot below. I advised it was most likely a scam call. I will continue to support Rosario Resort. As any local, I only want to see this place prosper and succeed to its fullest capability. We would've been more than happy to collaborate on a photo location plan had communication and expectations been managed properly. I'm simply sharing my horrible experience to hopefully save someone from loss of brain cells and massive disappointment. read more

We rented a room for two nights and paid in advance. When we arrived at the resort there was no reception area. Check in information is sent to you by text or email. We had not received anything and had no idea what to do. We could not call because our cellphone had no service in this remote location. Fortunately, there was a woman by the front door who had gone through this as well. She called them on her phone and we got in. There has to be a better way! read more

I'm not even sure where to begin, I will start by saying we have visited Rosario Resort for many years now and we loved it. Great staff/management and excellent customer service satisfaction. Which is what kept us coming back along side the spectacular views. But now they have new management and it's a complete mess in so many ways. No management on site so if you have any issues you can't get it resolved in person. And the WiFi is completely useless unlike before it worked great. If you need to make a call or receive messages you have to drive into town. Our room was not ready for us when we arrived. The kitchen trash cans were full to the brim with dirty trash from the previous guest. Filthy sponges and dishes. Salt and pepper shakers were empty. Bath robes from the previous guests were used and on the floor in the closet also hair in the tub. I'm guessing housekeeping doesn't care what kind of job they do because no management on site so they can get away with it. I see this is a reoccurring issue since new management took over. I see in the reviews. I provided pictures. I sure hope management gets it together read more

Disappointing Experience; Departed Early We chose Rosario Resort for our final boating stop before returning home. The marina is small but clean and adequate (Note: all metal docks), and a deckhand cheerfully greeted us upon arrival to assist with dock lines. The resort's grounds seemed tired but with extraordinary views of the surrounding island and East Sound. The large lawn areas had plenty of very nice Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, croquet set and tether ball. Bags of Ice were complimentary as were the showers. We were told smaller slips our boat's size were all rented so were placed in a larger one and charged commensurately. But the marina was less than half full during our stay, and we were charged more for the larger one. Moreover, the showers had no hot water at our arrival, and the bathrooms did not appear to have been serviced recently. The restaurant seemed to be going for a pretty decent Mexican cantina vibe (Mariachi music playing, Spanish-speaking staff), but oddly offered only American sandwiches and pizza. The bartender did not speak English. It's unclear whether pets are welcome, as signs noted state law prohibiting pets indoors; yet local staff told us our large dog was welcome inside. We appreciate they are undergoing a material renovation, but to charge nearly $100/night for a 26' boat while offering mediocre services represents poor value. We requested a refund for our second night, but received only the lower amount for the smaller slip we wanted but did not get. read more

This place is a SCAM! The pictures online and on the resorts website are phony or doctored. The place is an absolute DUMP! And this experience came at an expensive resort hotel price tag $$$-$$$$. The key pad to our room did not work. The resort is now run by scammers from India? who are not on the property and proceed to get rude with you on the phone. Our room was filthy. We even found an old sock and garbage under the bed. The carpets are stained and disgusting. Thank God we had slippers with us. Conditioner bottle in the shower was empty. Screen door to the patio was ripped. Two pools... both closed and/or out of service. The main historic hotel, restaurant and grounds are all closed and/or in an extreme state of disrepair. The whole experience felt like a colossal scam (because it was). When we mentioned to some locals where we were staying and what our experience was, they grimaced having heard this story many times before. It pains me to think that these scammers now have my personal information. This is a classic case of me being rushed and I didn't due enough research before booking. It can happen easily. The resort sits at an absolutely pristine and beautiful spot on Orcas Island. This is highlighted in the resorts advertising. The property is located right outside the picturesque town of Eastsound. This quality of this resort is a crime against the beauty of the location. I hope this review saves any number of people from making the same mistake we did. read more

Gotta agree with all the negative reviews. We loved Rosario last summer so we decided to moor our boat here for 4 days this summer during our summer Islands trip. We were not informed at the time of our booking that the entire resort is under renovation and the pool is closed. We have a very disappointed 3 year old our hands. The grill has a very very limited menu of pizza and cold cut sandwiches. I get it; new owners, renovations, summer of transition BUT either shut down for the season or inform your guests and offer reduced rates. We spent over $400 to moor here and this place is a joke. Don't see ourselves giving them another chance in the future. When you deceit your guests, we have no reason to return. Plenty of other beautiful resorts in the Islands. read more

Amazing views from our suite...big,spacious and clean units.The mansion and the restaurant is under renovation when we stayed so there's only one restaurant that is open and their menu is limited.Called the customer service and asked if we can cook in our suite reservation,he told us that there are no available cooking wares and we have to provide on our own but when we got to our unit......the kitchen is complete with everything including pots,plates,glasses and utensils.I was misinformed.Hopefully when we come back,they have more food options. read more

Harborview suite Cons We arrived and could tell the carpets had not been vacuumed and the floors in the bathroom and kitchen had not been washed. Very gross. Pictures included are of towel after wiping floors and garbage on carpet as well as dirt stains on carpets. CO2 detector was unplugged and left on The heat vent. Pros- great view from inside room to the harbour. The bathrooms had been remodeled. Great deck views and comfy chairs on the deck. Had the floors been clean this most definitely would have been 5 stars. read more

To say I am frustrated and disappointed by Rosario is an understatement. When I called to make my reservation for our stay in mid-August 2024, I specified I needed a room for two adults (myself and my mother), my 11 year-old, and our dog. (That did not change at any point.) While they did not bring it up, I also asked if their website was accurate - that their restaurant and all their pools etc. would be closed and not accessible - during our stay. They confirm that their facilities were essentially closed other than sleeping places and excursions. I decided that nevertheless their space would work for us. I figured we could explore the island's restaurants and beaches. So, I made the reservation. I checked my email that day but did not receive any written confirmation of the quoted price, so I asked for one. When I received the price confirmation, I scanned it to confirm the price was as quoted. What I didn't know was, despite my stated needs, Rosario made the reservation for 1 adult only and booked me in a room that did not accept three people or a dog. Several times between then and now, I received texts and emails about buying their excursions. Fast forward to two days before our arrival to the San Juans. I received a notice that indicated the room was reserved for one adult only. No second adult, no kid, no dog. I wrote to remind them it was for two adults, a child and a dog. I was told the room they had for us would not work, but they had a room that could accommodate us. I was under the impression the room offered was mine to refuse, that it wasn't being offered to anyone else unless I refused it. The room they were giving me had one king bed and possibly a mattress or fold-out bed "depending on availability." I asked if they had a pet-friendly room with two beds as I was traveling with my mom, not my husband. The answer was no. Thinking my mom and I could share the bed, I then asked them to confirm my son, in fact, would get a mattress or a fold-out bed. I needed certainty all three of us would have a place to sleep, and their "depending on availability" comment did not indicate the fold-out bed or mattress was a certainty. When Rosario responded the next day, they did not mention whether the fold-out bed or mattress would for sure be available. Instead, they advised they gave the room they said we could have - the only room they said could accommodate usto someone else. In short, the day before our arrival to Orcas Island in the middle of the warmest month of the summer and during the height of tourist season, they advised me that we would have no place to stay. And of course there are no rooms even at twice the budget that could accommodate us for the four days we were supposed to be there. All we had was our pre-paid ferry reservation, which we have to cancel. Instead, we will explore Seattle for four more days. I've heard Rosario has been suffering in terms of reputation and quality, and I can see why. It seems it is more concerned about selling excursion packages than ensuring my family and I would not find ourselves homeless the day before our arrival. read more

I had to cancel my reservation 45 minutes after the 24 hour notice time. The person answering the phone did not seem to care as to why. Said that they had already collected payment and would not refund it. After reading other reviews, I am glad that we did not stay there. read more

I recently had a chance to eat here during a boat trip. It was a great experience. We ate in the bar area and the staff was very professional and accommodating. Our waiter was energetic and had a great sense of humor. He happily addressed the numerous extra requests from our table. I was impressed with his people skills. I ordered a burger and fries because I was in the mood for comfort food. My burger was very good, but the fries were perfect. They may have been the best fries I've had ever. They were the perfect size and had a beautiful golden brown exterior. The inside of my fries were hot and perfectly fluffy. Bite after bite was mouthfuls of golden brown fluffy goodness. From now on, they are the fries by which all others will be judged. read more

Great stay, celebrating our anniversary, beautiful location, great grounds and marina. Rooms are good size, meager, but clean and comfortable. Coffee, microwave and fridge, which is great, clean shower with great water pressure. Restaurant and bar are nice, food is excellent.

Highly recommend and we'll be back! read more

5/5 for brunch here. The braised pork belly hash delivered on all fronts. Crispy outside on the pork belly, perfectly braised fat that melts in your mouth, runny eggs on top and and crispy potatoes to hold them all up. Chef Stephanie is crushing it, and the waitstaff were friendly and prompt. My server Kimberly never let my mimosa go empty and was patient with my indecisiveness. Do check the menu as it changes seasonally. read more

Rosario Village - Braised Pork Belly Hash - Resorts Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

The place is a run down nightmare with no onsite management and cleaning crews are sleep walking. We found filthy furniture surfaces, food everywhere, smears on windows, fixtures full of bugs, broken doors, dirty carpet, and moldy smells. See pics. The one bright spot is a remote manager Kay who refunded half of our overnight stay fee and allowed us to leave early with no fees on the other two nights we had booked. New ownership should never have opened up the buildings to rent out until a complete refurbishment had been accomplished. Harming the brand very badly. The new owners seem to be clueless. read more

The marina at the Rosario Resort & Spa is a great place to spend a few days while boating and get off the boat and go for a walk, explore the rocks, or the surrounding nature. We (my mom, my dad, my sister, and I) stayed at the marina a few times while boating in the San Juan Islands while I was growing up. If we were lucky we would be the first boat there, other times the place would be jam-packed. The marina itself is well designed to keep any rough waters out. One time on the approach to the San Juan Islands, the water was rough with about 3-5 foot swells (which feels huge when on a 25-28 foot Bayliner and some of the waves hit the boat side-on). I was freaked out about the boat potentially sinking and my dad had to do some fancy maneuvering to get us closer to shore where the waves weren't so choppy without hitting the bottom. The marina has a barricade in the form of a spit of land between the marina and Cascade Bay. So when we got to the marina, the waves were well blocked out and the roughness of the waters outside did not carry inside to the marina. I loved exploring the surrounding land and we even got up close to deer one time while out on a walk. There are Canadian Geese, so watch out for goose poop. There is a marina pool which is fun to take a swim in and you can get food at the neighboring Cascade Bay Grill or up at the Resort & Spa. One particularly memorable experience at the Resort was going to a dinner buffet and attending a performance by a pianist, I even bought the musician's CD! The rocks around the marina were fun to explore as a kid and I would get particularly excited when I found starfish. Though, watch out for bees... I was on the rocks by the Cascade Bay Grill and got stung by a bee and let loose a very loud scream. It freaked the people in the restaurant out and hurt, but the bees like the marina too. So come bee prepared! Still a fun place to visit and go for a walk around the marina. read more

Beautiful ocean landscape, private, clean, and spacious inside. However, I had no where to sleep and there was NO STAFF ON SITE to resolve my ESSENTIAL needs problem. I booked the "honeymoon suite" via AirBnB for 3 guests per the listing as I was "treating my parents on a trip" from the original booking. Around 8:30PM, noticed no linen anywhere in the room for the pullout couch. Used room phone to attempt to contact both the "front desk" and "after hours manager" with no answer(just rang). Messaged the host via AirBnB in which they responded saying, "housekeeping left for the day and linen cannot be delivered until the AM." This wouldn't work as where was I supposed to sleep and we were only staying 1 night. Despite long waited messages, there was no solution by 10:30PM because "bedding was provided for the bed, which is their standard setup" despite transparency of 3 guests from the start(parents and 1 adult child). Not to mention house keeping was there at check-in time finishing up (they may have forgot to restock). The host refused to resolve this over text despite known minimal phone service in the area and they could not call into the room phone? For resolution, the host waited until I had service after checkout to talk offering unfair compensation for forcing me to sleep upright in a chair due to no linen for the pullout couch. Luckily, I booked through AirBnB who I reached out to about the issue and easily refunded 33% of the price and resolved the issue. read more

This is no longer a resort, instead it is a Motel there are no services, no activities, the mansion house is in complete disrepair and closed as are 2/3 of the restaurants . Likely this property is being sold. We left early , do not go here. read more

I want so much to give 5 stars but can't . The food at the mansion was good but could of been so much better. Limited choices of food and wine . Out of some things The mansion looks very used and needs so many improvements with worn rugs and furniture . The bathroom / showers in marina are very dated and worn out . Only 1 shower in men's room was working It's so sad as have been coming here by boat for many years and have seen it in better days. It is such a beautiful location . Couldn't have a better view from the. Adult pool. read more

Stayed in harborside building for two nights after their recent sale. The mansion is closed and no indication of a reception desk (there isn't one at the moment!). Had trouble checking in so had to go to the bar to try to find someone that spoke English. The room is mostly nice and had a view but lots of little issues. For $170 a night I'd expect things to go smoother. read more

The views here are absolutely stunning! The mansion, spa and restaurant are shut down for renovations. We stayed in the 2300 building and it was very unimpressive. 80's bathroom, needs an updated coffee station, dated furniture, no trash pickup so we smelled the neighbors trash in the hallway for a day and a half. The bed and views were great, but wouldn't stay in those units again. read more

The proximity to Moran state park is wonderful and the bang for buck was also pretty great. We stayed for 3 nights for 100/night. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I think where Rosario feel short was food and cleaning services. We booked a hillside king and our view was great, however the bathroom was covered in black hairs from the previous guest both on the floor and in the shower. We also were only provided with 2 small garbage cans for 3 nights stay and a half a roll of toilet paper. We ordered "room service" but needed to pick it up from the main lobby. Food was fine, but I would try to support local before ordering on the resort. The resort also wasn't particularly busy and we shared a wall with another couple, and we can hear everything they're doing and saying. Overall, I think location and view outweighs the bad, but Rosario needs a renovation and more attention to detail. read more

The truth of the matter is, I spent a lot of time at Rosario over almost two weeks, but wasn't a guest at the resort. I rented a house just around the corner, and walked down to the resort once or twice a day. Sunrise. Lots of people will tell you about sunset and they're not wrong, but sunrise is where the money is. There are some lovely walks and sidewalks throughout the property, and if you keep your eyes open you can even find some unofficial trails. Wander down to the dock around sunrise and you'll see some killer skies through the masts and over the seaplane dock. read more

We stayed at Rosario over Labor Day weekend. I think the term "resort" might be a bit much here. The mansion is beautiful inside. However, guests don't stay in the mansion. Our room (in the 2300 bldg) was basically a 1970's mid-range motel. Stained carpets. Dingy hallways. Basic amenities. Nothing to write home about. However, the beds were very nice, and our view was spectacular. The spa and pool area is really nice and well kept up. The staff was all very friendly. But overall, the "resort" really needs a facelift. read more

I generally don't leave reviews but in this case I couldn't help myself. I went to the rosario lounge to relax by the fire and catch up on some computer work a couple of days ago - 4/20 - I believe - and was helped by the bartender with the little hat. If looking down my shirt constitutes good service , I'd give him an 'A'. He was quite talkative , rarely looking me in the eye choosing instead to check me out - no doubt hoping that I'd agree with him - that he was quite a catch and that I should be drooling with the anticipation of being with him later that night. Ive been on this island all my life - and I've never been so offended. Rosario - whoever is doing the hiring - rethink that - ok ? Really ? This is your best staffing option ? read more

They sent an email ahead of our stay and had great info about getting there and checking in. Let them know when you are arriving on the ferry it is very helpful. When we arrived one went in to check in and had a great experience Jason was very friendly and guided us where to go. When we got to the room I was a little nervous the connecting door didn't lock so I called and maintenance was there to fix it within an hour. Another room we had however didn't even have a lock which does not seem safe and it had a bit of a stale smell to it. We had 3 of us in one room but it was set up for 2. Beds were not comfortable in any room. The grounds are great lots of sitting areas and viewpoints. We had 2 Harborside rooms so we had a good view of the harbor. The mansion is fun to check out so much neat stuff. The gift shop had a great variety of items and I found most not to be too expensive. The museum has some great pictures and vintage furniture, library was sadly closed. We had dinner at the mansion twice, since it was limited capacity without a reservation on one visit they were able to fit us in the lounge. Ian was a great server in the lounge answered all our questions and managed tables well. Burger was amazing so was the Gnocchi, smoked halibut croquettes were yummy. The second time we made reservations and sat in the dining area with a water view, Anne was our server. Anne was also very friendly and personable. We all had burgers this visit and we tried desert. Banana bread with espresso ice cream, the ice cream overpowered the banana bread but was still very good. The Strawberry Rubarb with mousse was absolutely amazing!! read more

Worst ever. First all staff were let go and the mansion and restaurant closed by the new owner. Bad move. Now the maintenance staff is running the grill at the marina. Not fully bilingual so there are problems with communication. They do not have sugar. None. So if you take your coffee with sugar and you don't have your own you are out of luck. They do not have a budget to buy sugar. Very odd. Very limited menu. Next the pool is there, it is full of water but you cannot use it. They have not hired staff to run or maintain it so on a super hot day when you have paid top dollar to moor your boat at the dock you cannot go swimming. They are gaslighting people who call to make reservations telling them the pool is open when it is not. Disappointed adults and children. The grounds are rundown and the planters have weeds instead of plants. No flowering baskets on the lamp posts. Sigh. It is just a very sad place to go especially if you grew up working there and going there in the summer and other times of year. It appears the new owners are hell bent to remove a source of joy from many peoples lives. I will hang on to my fond memories of Rosario past and hope someone else takes over soon before the Rosario we all knew and loved is completely gone into the past. read more

We certainly enjoyed the view and the area. Had a delicious dinner at the main building. The rooms could use some modernizing but ok for the most part. read more

Good food, clean kitchen, nice staff will visit again. Got food and was seated quickly at mansion restaurant.

For the photos, I expected something more luxurious, in keeping with the price and the natural drop dead beautiful, stellarly stunning view. It is worth going for a drive to walk around the grounds. But leave it there. There is a old tired golf resort feel to the place. We wanted to try the drinks as the website showed promise and skill and possible originality and my companion mixes as a hobby. We arrived and the bar was closed. Daytime, and although the bartender was there.... it was... closed. Ok we'd have to wait until 5:00 or so for dinner service for a drink. Because well late afternoon was no mans land. Alright. We'll go look in the gift shop. Uh...all the warmth and ambiance of a ferry crossing gift shop. Wait. I've seen better ferry crossing gift shops tht make you really want to buy things from them. Yes. ok. By then. We decided to forget waiting for the bar to open. This place has promise if you want to bring grandma and grandpa...they probably will feel right at home. read more

Rosario Village - The view outdoors. - Resorts Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

We absolutely loved our stay at the Rosario Resort. We had a basic king room, partial harbor view. It was spacious, comfortably appointed, and was a welcome respite from all our day's activities outdoors. The overall resort is also lovely. Featuring a spa, multiple pools (indoors and out), comprehensive fitness room with classes, and multiple eateries (the fabulous Mansion Restaurant, which would be a top destination even in San Fransisco, and their lounge restaurant and bar. The rooms are a ten minute walk at from the main house where all amenities are located, and the resort & restaurants keep, imo, short hours of 8am to 9pm, but that's part of island life. Rosario is minutes away from Moran State Patk, a must visit for hiking, swimming, running, picnics, and the fabulous views from Mt Constitution. read more
