Listed on the National Register of Historic Place, the Rosario Resort & Spa is a secluded, civilized wilderness retreat in the heart of the San Juan Islands. This member of RockResorts is spread across 8 waterfront acres on Orcas Island, a leisurely hour and a half ferry ride north of Seattle. Among its 9 buildings is the property's original 1909 mansion, featuring concerts in the Moran Music Room on a magnificent 1,972-pipe Aeolian organ. As you stroll the grounds to your guestroom or suite, you may encounter a resident deer, and when you arrive, you can unwind while gazing over tranquil bay or forest views.

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.

Nice but the staff and others seemed disconnected.. maybe lack of leadership? Food was quite good with a cordial wait staff. Salmon was 4 stars.

We feel scammed. This is not as advertised. The website is not a good representation of what it looks like. The carpet is really dirty. The pool is empty. The mansion is closed. The view from the room is gorgeous.

We stayed in the Roundhouse Suite. The room was clean, the bed was a spacious king and was adequately comfortable. The feature I primarily look for in a place to stay is the area to sit and enjoy the outdoors and this room cannot be topped for that. You are right on the bay with a gorgeous view. We even watched 2 otters one afternoon. The main mansion is apparently being renovated so was closed but the grounds were pleasant to walk around. The location was very convenient to Moran State Park and Eastsound. I personally did not enjoy the absence of onsite staff but was able to negotiate the text communication adequately. We did have a slow drainage issue in the shower right before checkout and notified the staff through the text system. If you are renting this room I recommend asking if the plumbing issue has been resolved. I would stay here again but might ask about the plumbing situation.
