    I would give this place zero stars if I could. Overpriced Sysco packaged food. Not a good way to end a great trip to Orcas. Stay Away!

    Such a stunning setting, wow!…read more 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.

    The room was a nice size, and the staff -though only online- was helpful- but for $600 for two…read morenights 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 :)

    We stayed only 2 nights and have only minor complaints. Before coming, we received a call around…read more5PM on the day we were due to arrive asking if we were coming on a late ferry, and if we were, they would leave our key in the late arrivals box. Super kind and helpful with directions and everything else. Arrived and found our key, drove up to our room. Up a windy road and there are several buildings belonging to this same hotel. We were lucky enough to end up on the very top building on the top set of rooms. Great view! Our room had 2 queen beds, was nicely decorated, gigantic bathroom that had 2 sinks, clean room, and a balcony with a small table and 2 chairs overlooking the water. One complaint, the shower head had little pressure because it was so high up for us little folk.... by the time the water reached me it was like taking a shower in the rain... this seems to be common among hotels though... Other amenities include ice/soda machine in our little building and in the marina there is a pool, shuffleboard, tetherball, volleyball net, etc. Price is EXTREMELY reasonable considering what you get, they had a midweek deal that we snapped up and it ended up being some of the cheapest private accommodations available anywhere on Orcas at the time!

    The room was ok-clean but not fancy. It had a nice water view for the price.Also had free wi-fi…read morewhich was a plus. The only issues were that the bed was rock hard and the shower head was more of a drip. The best part though was that the young lady at the front desk was fantastic! Awesome customer service which makes up for a lot!!!

    That was one of the best BNB where we've been (across US and Europe)…read more I loved contactless check in - which means that we can come any time and do not worry about late check in and that we would woke up owner. Home was very cozy, it was obvious that it is maintained with love. In the morning we had nice time at deck on swing. We had breakfast (tea, coffee, oatmeals, fruits, boiled eggs, cookies, waffles). Along with great food, we had nice conversation with owner. He gave us valuable advices regarding islands, what to visit and generally about the life on the island. Definitely would stay here again!

    First, the Inn is old and run down and management don't even try to pretend to professional. The…read moreair conditioning in my room rattled so hard you couldn't even hear conversation. Second, an Inn employee hit my brand new car (Mercedes Benz with 100 miles on it) while I was getting a treatment. As I was leaving, the Innkeeper or Manager laughingly told me my car was hit. I thought it was a joke because he kept laughing and telling jokes. He had not called to report the accident and didn't notify me until I was walking out the door to catch a ferry to go back home (live on island). I finally told the manager (or whoever he was) that thanks, but I wasn't in the mood for humor given the circumstances. I had to call the Police to make a report. The report clearly showed the employee was at fault. Given that we live on an Island, this is going to cost us thousands - not even to mention the huge depreciation on a brand new car. After some consideration, it seemed reasonable that perhaps the Inn would credit my stay given the circumstances. My wife called the Inn and spoke with the manager and owner. At first, they immediately hung up on her saying "we don't have time for this" - she was being very polite. Flabbergasted, she called back, and they said we don't care about your situation or that our employee hit your car. Call the insurance company. They were exceptionally rude about it as well. Finally, there are other accommodation options in La Conner. I highly recommend them over Blue Heron. People like this don't deserve our business.

    If you find yourself in Friday Harbor, you absolutely have to visit this spot. My top tip: make a…read morereservation. This place fills up fast, and after dining there, it's easy to see why! Our party of three visited for lunch at noon on a Thursday. Since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately at a lovely table right by the window. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were incredibly courteous and friendly throughout our meal. We initially thought about starting with some small plates, but we were so eager for seafood that we jumped straight into the entrees. We weren't disappointed: Bouillabaisse: This was our first time trying this dish, and it was the highlight for us. It was incredibly flavorful--exactly what we were craving. Spicy Prawn Mac and Cheese: It definitely lived up to its name! It wasn't "blow-your-head-off" hot, but it had a perfect, noticeable kick that really elevated the dish. Blackened Cod Tacos: These were fantastic. The cod was perfectly prepared and worked so well with the rest of the taco ingredients. We also enjoyed a couple of non-alcoholic drinks that hit the spot, though I'll admit that since I'm writing this a couple of weeks later, I forgot to snag photos or the specific names of the drinks! They also have a really nice patio area if you prefer dining outdoors. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a great meal with a view, this place is a must-visit!

    A lovely restaurant tucked at the edge of Friday Harbor…read more While the views were stunning, the service was just ok. For the nature of the restaurant, we had hoped for our waitress to be more friendly and genuine. However, it felt like they just wanted to fulfill our order and be done. I ordered the South Sound Clams and Snapper Sandwich. Bathing in an umami-packed and rich Thai curry broth, the clams were tender and fresh with a bit of brine. Very good and shareable with one other person. The snapper sandwich wowed me! The bright escovitch and creamy avocado paired wonderfully with the snapper. Every bite was delightful. The house-made potato chips, however, were disappointing. They were thin, not crispy, and sticking to my teeth. If you can, substitute for fries or salad. Despite our subpar service, the delicious, well-priced food and beautiful scenery still make this the perfect date spot.
